Tracy Clayton brands immigrants 'third‑world animals'

Category: racism

Tracy Clayton (councillor, Kirklees) was alleged to have posted on a private Facebook account in her name language describing immigrants as "third world animals", referring to "invaders" and mentioning "Sharia Courts" and other dehumanising claims. A screenshot of the alleged post circulated on social media and a fellow Kirklees councillor said the post was made while Clayton was on annual leave. Another councillor confirmed the account appears to be Clayton's personal account. A Reform UK spokesperson initially asked "What's wrong with it" when contacted and later said Cllr Clayton was "completely correct", repeating claims about mass immigration. Independent councillor Kasia and the Kirklees Green Group raised complaints and called for Clayton's resignation. Kirklees Council said councillors on annual leave are represented by their party and that any allegations of breaches of its Code of Conduct will be considered through its formal complaints process.
