Conservative rebuked for abusive email about Labour politician

The BBC has the story from Bradford:

A Tory activist has been rebuked by his council leader after sending an e-mail in which he referred to a Labour politician as “the cripple”.

The term came in an e-mail sent by John Hawkesworth to the Conservative leader of Bradford City Council, Kris Hopkins.

Unpleasant and let’s hope the official party reaction puts an end to such behaviour locally and that we don’t end up with another Watford-style situation.
