Controversial Tory councillor shouted ‘migrants are a danger to British women’ outside hotel housing women asylum seekers
The complaint to Exeter City Council about Tory councillor Alison Sheridan concerns far more than ‘wearing official ID’ at a far-right protest outside the Hampton hotel at Exeter Airport, as the BBC reported. She also shouted out, ‘Migrants are a threat to British women’, and this was part of the complaint. However, this has not been reported – although video showing her doing this was sent by the complainant to BBC SW Spotlight reporters last Friday.
In video posted on YouTube by a far-right activist, she can also be seen saying that Nigel Farage’s mass deportation policy is ‘brilliant’. ‘I want mass deportations’, she says.
When I was an Independent member of Devon County Council four years ago, there was no Tory councillor who would have done what Sheridan did. It is now for the Conservative Party to decide if she represents them. Even Reform have suspended councillors for less.
The BBC must also explain why they failed to report her intimidatory racist outburst, delivered at a site housing over a hundred vulnerable people, mostly women and children.
