Tory group suspended over racist slogans

A student Conservative society in Plymouth has been suspended after a photo emerged of members sporting racist and anti-semitic messages. The picture, taken at a nightclub in Plymouth, shows a university Conservative group wearing blue T-shirts daubed with marker pen.

Some in the picture appear to have a Star of David drawn on their necks, while one seems to have a Hitler-style moustache scrawled on his lip.

Johnny Mercer, Conservative MP for Plymouth Moor View, said the party should “eject and bar for life” those responsible.
