Councillor suspended after alleged racist social media posts
Category: racism
Councillor James Regan was suspended by Reform UK pending an investigation after it was reported that he posted racist comments on social media relating to protests outside a hotel used to accommodate migrants in Epping. Reports say Regan described the site as a “paedophile babysitting centre”, called Islam “an evil criminal cartel of evil pedo’s [sic]” and wrote that “Islam will suck our benefit system dry”. A fellow Reform councillor, Jaymey McIvor, was reported to have warned him about his language on one of the videos. A Reform UK spokesman said, "Cllr Regan has been suspended from Reform UK pending investigation. We do not tolerate any forms of racism." Reporters were unable to contact Regan for comment.
