Tory councillor branded ‘xenophobic’ after Twitter storm

A Conservative Councillor in North Ayrshire has been slammed after a number of social media posts that have been called xenophobic for calling into question the opinion of an SNP colleague who was born in Holland.

Todd Ferguson tweeted on Saturday evening: “JoyoftheSNP, a fellow Cllr, went on a witch hunt when I asked why she wanted to break up the U.K. being from the EU. Despite living in this country for seven years, she is not a citizen, but is happily pocketing two tax payer funded jobs via the SNP.”
