He's turned off all replies to his apology but he's still getting thoroughly roasted on Twitter

He has referred himself to his party for investigation.
Not Sue Gray - she's busy.

He should resign. He was a grown adult when he posted up those disgusting tweets.

 

[editor]

He hasn't even deleted some of his offensive tweets



And then there's this

i'm very surprised that there doesn't seem to have been even the most basic vetting before this creature was submitted to be mayor of the borough.

The BBC has managed to 'cover' the story without actually mentioning a single one of the offensive tweets.

Lambeth Labour councillor Philip Normal sorry for offensive tweets

Philip Normal, a former mayor of Lambeth, used offensive words about Muslims and transgender people.

Stupid prick. Doesn't he know you have to be prime minister to get away with that shit?

‘One Lambeth’ making the most of the palaver......

They saw nothing wrong with allowing posters to refer to a gay man as abnormal.

im not on twitter and I’m not involved with one lambeth, I followed the link to the ‘roasting‘ that was posted earlier..
I guess you could say that is a play on the guys name and not straight up homophobia if you wanted to be kind.

edit...the date on that is 29 jan maybe not related to the tweets exposed today.

He doesn't seem to be suitable to be a councillor does he?

I meant is there a quick way to do it with out going through 10 years worth of verbal diarrhoea....

The reason Phillip Normal got his seat is because he is a supporter of the Progress wing of the party.

Way Labour Lambeth works that pretty well gaurentees a job as Cllr.

Reminds me of my Polish friend telling me that in the late Communist period of Poland there was what ordinary people referred to as the Red Bourgeoisie. Those who had gained privileged status in the Communist party by loyally supporting it. Whilst the average Pole thought it was bollox.

Gained one privilege, status and remuneration.

As with Cllr Normal.

If you don't buy into the system you get marginalised.

There is a certain pleasure in seeing one of these Red Bourgeoisie get their come uppance.

But the real problem is how in a so called democracy people like Phillip Nomal can get this privilege and status.

I still haven't worked out the link between Muslim extremists and Capri-Sun.
I'll be keeping a close eye on my nephews, though.

edit: this is usually the point where I find I've totally missed the existence of some well-known egregious trope and get myself a ban for a week...

If one is in Brixton this obnoxious right winger is well known. Here is one of his classic tweets,

That doesn't seem very classic.

Was going to say it's amazing what people get away with, but it's not. Not at all.

Another tweet where he attacked in good New Labour fashion a popular grass roots campaign against gentrification.



Such an awful person imo. Typical example of the Blairite right of the party.

In end he had to apologize for this.

 

[oryx]

Wonder if the Labour Party have suspended/will suspend him.

I suspect not.
