 Racist Tory: Patrick Mercer
BBC NEWS | Politics | Top Tory axed over Army race row
A Tory MP has been forced to quit his frontbench role after making comments on race in the Army which party leader David Cameron called "unacceptable".
Shadow homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said he had met "a lot" of "idle and useless" ethnic minority soldiers who used racism as a "cover". One question raised on Question Time was whether it was right to sack Patrick Mercer for his comments that were viewed as deeply offensive.
Any thoughts on this?
