Appearently a bong minister has been sacked for making spicy comments on Whatsapp. Here's a few snippets from the article
Among the worst of the comments reportedly made was a response to a letter from a 72-year-old resident who told her councillor she had not voted Labour but wanted to inquire about bin collections.
The resident wrote: "As you have been re-elected, I thought it would be an appropriate time to contact you with regard to the bin collections."
When the councillor shared the letter in the group chat, Mr Gwynne proposed the following response: "Dear resident, f--- your bins. I'm re-elected and without your vote. Screw you. > PS: Hopefully you'll have croaked it by the all-outs."
"All-outs" is a shorthand term for local elections.
He appeared to mock the Jewish surname of one public figure. When other members of the chat asked if Marshall Rosenberg, a conflict resolution expert, would be present at a local Labour party meeting, Mr Gwynne reportedly said: "No. He sounds too militaristic and too Jewish. Is he in Mossad?"
According to reports, Mr Gwynne also shared lewd jokes about Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister.
In 2021, he circulated a tweet that mocked Ms Rayner for claiming wireless headphones on expenses. The tweet read: "I don't see what the problem is. It's literally impossible to give a blow--- while wearing wired headphones. Anyone with a similar background to Angela would understand this."
He also appeared to mock Diane Abbott, the veteran Labour MP, in the WhatsApp group. In October 2019, when Ms Abbott became the first black person to stand at the despatch box during Prime Minister's Questions, he reportedly told the chat it was "because it's Black History Month apparently".
