Newham Mayor: E15 mums 'a bunch of Trots'
NEWHAM Mayor Robin Wales was forced to flee protesters on Monday night after labelling local homeless mums a “bunch of Trots” during a council meeting.
Mr Wales was confronted by the mums and their supporters for his comments when he left the council’s monthly meeting.
The Labour mayor refused to answer their questions about the social housing shortage and was bustled through the crowds by body guards before driving away.
