Malicious communications is not, and can never be construed as "racism". The fact that Tim Loughton himself provided the entirety of this "story" himself, just shows that this cannot be trusted. People who claim to not want to be controlled taking a story concocted by a Tory and publicised by the mail, realy should take a good look at themselves.
The fact is that after 2 years of abuse from the local tory council, I wrote a polite email to my MP and received a tirade of abuse and swearing in reply. Who should I ask for help when I have no rights? I asked the police, who knew that what was going on was wrong, they questioned him under the Malicious communications act, which can not be racially motivated, as a traveller I was also offended at the abusive rhetoric distributed by all of our local tories, all freely available on loughton's website, and believed that the abuse from the local council was as a result of myself expressing that I felt that claims that we need to "fortify Adur against traveller incursions" were unacceptable, which they are.
Following my raising of these issues, a council inspection was carried out on my family's allotment when we were not present, claimed that we had been using human faeces on our compost heap, this DID NOT happen, no environmental investigation was carried out and our allotment levelled and everything taken away by the council before we had any chance to prove that their claims were lies.
I was then attacked by the council's allotment manager, in an unprovoked assault, whilst shopping and when the store reported this to the police, he was arrested. The council did not like this and the abuse stepped up.
Myself and my family have never used offensive language towards local councillors or Loughton, but Loughton decided to send a very offensive response which included swear words, which is clearly an unacceptable response from parliament to a question asked politely.
Following this investigation, Loughton has claimed victim status and exploited his position to distribute a very twisted version of events through the media, and has also further abused his position to gain contact with the chief Constable, and the commissioner, who he chose for the candidacy in the first place in order to halt the investigation.
The reason that this investigation took so long was because he chose to involve senior officers to look at why he was questioned for being supportive of a 2 year hate campaign against an innocent family, and the police decided that his sweary and insulting email sent in response to a polite request for justice was malicious, which it clearly was. that's malicious, not racist, however the fact that he chooses to be outraged by being accused of being racist clearly shows that he has issues regarding this angle of his "narcissistic" personality.
It also turns out that his response, as well as rude and offensive, was also wrong, as the ICO decided that the council HAD breached the DPA.
If you believe the lies that you read in the Mail then you are just as stupid as the people who vote for the likes of Loughton, and I hope that one day, you write to your elected representative in Parliament and receive no answers to your question but a tirade of sweary abuse. Then you'll know what it's like, and then I will accept your views.
If you know nothing, say nothing.
