(Jewish Group) Tory Aberdeen candidate suspended over Holocaust tweets
The Conservatives have suspended their candidate for Aberdeen North over allegedly antisemitic, Islamophobic and homophobic tweets he wrote seven years ago.
Ryan Houghton apologised for the posts, which included questioning evidence of the Holocaust, and claimed they had been taken out of context.
The posts were first highlighted by the National. One said that although there was “no credible evidence to suggest the Holocaust did not happen … I do find some of the events fabricated”.
He was also quoted as saying he did not see how homosexuality was good for the human race, that Islam’s core teachings had the goal of “world domination” and that some Muslims had big families with the aim of creating “Eurabia”.

Best quote: "The Labour peer Alf Dubs said: “As someone who survived the Holocaust, I feel sickened that there will be a Conservative party candidate on the ballot paper on 12 December who claimed events in the Holocaust were fabricated. The Conservatives must face up to their problem with antisemitism. Instead of using the issue to score political points, they should challenge it in their own ranks.”
ALL fucking sides should pay heed to that bit of advice!
