Tory councillor Mike Payne's Twitter page
TORY councillor Mike Payne, who shared a racist article which called Muslims “parasites,” has been suspended by the party.
The Calderdale councillor shared the article titled France Slashes Benefits to Muslim Parasites by 83 per cent on Facebook and Twitter in June 2013.
The vile article said: “The country is no longer able to hold back the crowd of Muslim invaders, many of whom do not want to integrate into the social and economic life of their new home country and are content to live off the state and breed like rabbits.”
