(Portsmouth News) A Conservative councillor suspended after being linked to a Twitter account spewing Islamophobic bile has hit out at Boris Johnson[‘s] jibe against women wearing a burka.
Denmead ward member Judith Clementson has repeatedly refused to “confirm or deny” she is behind the @Clem205 identity which tweeted about a “dangerous Muslim agenda for world domination.”
Now she has been classed as an independent councillor, and removed from the Conservative opposition council group while she is suspended by the national party.
In an e-mail to fellow councillors, seen by the News, she turned on her party’s response to now-prime minister Boris Johnson’s description of Muslim women in burkas as looking “like letter boxes” in a 2018 Telegraph column.
