Tory councillor suspended over “AIDS” message

According to the Pink News:

“Ten days ago, John Warrow, an Independent councillor at the District Council, had said that someone had left a hateful message on his phone, saying, ‘with a bit of luck, you’ll get AIDS.’

Mr Worrow, who is bisexual, had believed that it might have been linked to the Council voting to support equal marriage, only the second in England to do so after Southwark.

Now, the person who left this message has been identified as a Conservative colleague of Mr Worrow’s, Ken Gregory, who, subsequent to a police investigation has been cautioned for malicious communication. Mr Gregory has also been suspended from the Thanet Council Conservative group.”
