Unmasked: Tory councillor is secret supporter of UK fascist organisation – HOPE not hate

The public social media accounts of Cllr Tim Wills contain the standard fare of an enthusiastic Conservative borough councillor, with posts showing him canvassing for...

Fucking hell, cheers for the heads up, I'll circulate that link locally, send it to the local rag and my MP.

Most of the borough council wards have three councillors, with one up for election each year, and on the fourth year it's county council elections. Interestingly Labour won their first seat in over 40 years, in his ward during a bye-election in 2017, and she was re-elected last year. Labour has won several more seats since 2017, reducing the Tory majority to just one.

He's not due for election again until 2023, but if he stands again, he'll be targeted over this, and there's a bloody good chance Labour will take his seat.

ETA - Oh, his home address is on the council's website. <considers options>

In addition to that list above, I've now sent it to the national radio networks, which are on DAB here & carry local Sussex news, so that's Heart, Smooth, Capital, and Greatest Hits. Plus regional ITV news too.

I think that's everything covered, hopefully we will have a local media storm now.

ETA - reply from More Radio (Sussex FM/DAB station), I asked if they had seen, reply - 'Yes, thanks, it appears to be gaining traction…'

ETA - reply from the Worthing Herald -'Yes, it's with our political editor and Local Democracy Reporter.'

* Local Democracy Reporters are paid for by the BBC, but based with local media outlets, they in turn supply their stories to ALL local/regional media outlets.

It looks like the local Labour party had already sent out a press release on it, according to the More Radio report, but I don't think I wasted my time following it up, always good to let them know the concerns of a local resident.

I can't see the guy surviving in the Tory party, nor as a councillor now.

Thanks again to Orang Utan for tagging me.

Oh, I missed this post, he's my MP. :facepalm:

What with that Tory councillor in the news today, the West Worthing Conservative Association is not having a good day. :D

Talking about the nazi councillor, the local rags have yet to publish reports on their websites, but they could be waiting until after they publish tomorrow's printed editions.

Out in the van earlier, I heard it included in the main news on BBC Radio Sussex, More Radio & Greatest Hits Radio, so the local rags can't ignore it. Be interesting if it's on the regional telly news this evening, the Guardian has picked-up on it -

www.theguardian.com

Tory councillor in Worthing suspended over alleged support of far right

Party is investigating Tim Wills over claims he supports Patriotic Alternative, which promotes ‘white genocide’ theories
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Wills did not respond to attempts by the Guardian to contact him about the allegations.

Funny enough those 3 radio stations are having the same problem. :D
 
Sadly the story didn't make it onto the ITV or BBC regional telly news. :mad:

Meanwhile he's been busy avoiding the media, and even had his home address & phone numbers removed from the council's website, his address is now listed as c/o the town hall, which I thought was a bit of a shame, as a mate & I were talking about printing a few 'Get know your Nazi neighbour' letters & deliver them to his immediate neighbours.

Then I remembered the 'Way Back Machine', and bingo, got it. :thumbs:

But, I am not sure it's worth it now, as the news is spreading, and everyone is going to hear about it anyway - locally, nationally (Guardian & Independent, so far), and even internationally (France24, so far).

The Argus (mainly a Brighton daily, but pretends to still cover all of Sussex) - "Worthing Borough Council and Cllr Wills have been contacted for comment." - pathetic 3/10

Worthing Herald (weekly rag) - "Mr Wills has been contacted for comment by the Local Democracy Reporting Service via email twice, by phone, in a voicemail and via WhatsApp but no response has yet been received." - better 7/10

Sussex Live (online only offering from Reach PLC, formerly Mirror group, so will probably be picked up by the Mirror) - "When approached by SussexLive at his address in Goring-by-sea, he said: "No comment. No comment for me to make." - fucking hell, online only, and they actually knocked on his door 10/10

From the Herald link -

Council leader Dan Humphreys confirmed that Mr Wills’ membership of both the Conservative Party and Worthing Borough Council’s Conservative group has been ‘suspended pending an investigation’.

In a statement, Mr Humphreys said: “Following allegations made against councillor Tim WiIls and alleged involvement with a group that does not share the aims and ideals of the Conservative Party, councillor Tim Wills’ membership of the Conservative Party and the Worthing Borough Conservative group has been suspended pending an investigation by the party’s complaints board.

“Worthing Conservatives remain committed to promoting equality between all people and opposing all forms of racism.”

The local Tories must be furious, as their majority of one has/is going up in smoke.

GoFundMe set up to feed 'struggling' Tory who said living on £82,000 was 'grim'

Sir Peter Bottomley, who as the oldest MP in the Commons is 'Father of the House', made the eyebrow-raising comments in an interview with the New Statesman, and the response was brutal

this happens to be the exact same message from Starmer
 
So, having been suspended from his party pending their investigation, Worthing Borough Council has now started their own investigation.

A spokesman for the council said: "Worthing Borough Council has today instigated an investigation into a councillor following a complaint made under its code of conduct.

"The council's monitoring officer has been made aware of the statements made by Cllr Wills and is considering the matter under the code of conduct, in accordance with the council's adopted procedure.

"There will be no further comment while the process is ongoing."

Surely the twat will get the hint that no one wants anything to do with the toxic twat, and do the right thing by resigning from his seat over the weekend?

What fucks me off, is that back in the day, local authority monitoring officers were primed to pick up shit like that. Nowadays, it's almost always after a member of the public, PUBLICLY draws it to attention.
 
Journo tells boris to shut up. Mid interview, is this the begining of the end for boris?

Heard that, on one of those youtube channels/sites that get you a hell of a rap.

Interesting quote from the end of that article:
Meanwhile Matt Warman, MP for Boston and Skegness told a fringe event: “[Woke’] now means so many things to so many different people, it’s becoming an increasingly diverse term that is somewhat devoid of value.

“And we need more sophisticated, more nuanced ways of talking about this stuff – because, otherwise, we will be trapped into a debate that doesn’t work in the way that we need to."

Which shows that they know they need the culture war because they have nothing else to offer the average (I.e.not super rich) person.
