The Cannock Chase MP who organised a Nazi-themed stag party in France in 2011 was "stupid and offensive" but is not racist, an internal party inquiry has found. The report was published after the groom was fined £1,200 for wearing an SS uniform.
The MP for Dudley has criticised a Conservative Party report into the MP for Cannock Chase who organised a Nazi-themed stag party in France.
Ian Austin says:
“He claimed at the time that this event was a fancy dress party, and he told his constituents and the Jewish Chronicle that he had not known what was going to happen.
“The trial in France and this report shows neither of those statements was true and it beggars belief that anyone should believe him now.
“His behaviour was an absolute disgrace and I can't understand why the Tories haven't removed the whip.”
