Some quite shocking things coming out from leading figures at the Council. Mayor Andy Preston has made headlines in recent days by attempting to undermine those campaiging for racial equality and fairness. He has a history of causing racial tension in Middlesbrough. It has now emerged that one of his excecutive has been promoting offensive material online. Cllr Dennis McCabe promoted content that spoke of those "sailing in on a rubber dinghy, fast track to council house and benefits" and "One black man is killed & the world explodes. Thousands of British white children groomed". This follows on from calls last year for the vice chair of the council to resign after it emerged he had a history of making anti-Semetic posts online. Andy Preston refused to speak out against his behaviour or take any action. He'll probably do the same here. Worrying times in the town.
