A TORY police and crime commissioner (PCC) candidate has been accused of racism after he and other Cambridge Conservatives were caught mocking asylum-seekers and Travellers in a series of vile online posts.
But the Cambridgeshire councillor and PCC front runner Jason Ablewhite, who is facing calls to be suspended, said comments he posted to Facebook as a serving councillor in 2010 were “banter.”
The slurs were made in relation to a picture of two people allegedly known to Mr Ablewhite.
