Candidate shared slurs attacking Anne Frank as a ‘fraud’

LABOUR faced embarrassment last night over a council candidate who apparently shared an article claiming that Adolf Hitler was ‘completely justified’ in persecuting Jews.

Belgica Guana was suspended on the eve of polling over the article which denied the Holocaust.

The piece also described Holocaust victim Anne Frank as a ‘bisexual degenerate’ and said her diary was an ‘obvious fraud... laced with pornographic and sexually subversive passages’.

The councillor in Newham, east London, has now been dropped as a candidate and suspended from the party after the Jewish Chronicle reported on the episode.

She will still, however, be listed as a Labour candidate on the ballot papers because it is too late to change them.

The revelation will embarrass Sir Keir Starmer who has attempted to root out antiSemitism in his party.

Miss Guana, who had been standing for re-election today, shared the piece entitled The Holocaust Hoax and the Jewish Promotion of Peversity in February 2016.

The Labour Party said last night it no longer endorsed her. It is understood that she is ‘administratively’ suspended from the party, pending investigation.
