SNP councillors have threatened to report a Conservative representative to the police amid allegations of racism ...

However, emails obtained by SNP councillor Gerry McLaughlan through freedom of information laws showed the Tory had been at the centre of allegations of racism just one week before he left.The SNP group in Stirling said the emails showed “an internal investigation was pending over alleged misconduct in office, including questions over gifts, potential abuses of hospitality, and alleged racist behaviour”.

“Referring these allegations to the police is the least we can do to demonstrate Stirling has no time for racism or bullies.” “Tory leader Neil Benny did nothing as the Provost he voted in made a mockery of the title and public office.”have closed ranks to protect one of their own. SNP Councillors cannot stand by and condone this sort of behaviour, and we trust communities across Stirling will be rightly appalled.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
