Councillor deletes post linking Ann Widdecombe’s death to ‘radical left thugs’

A Restore Britain councillor has deleted a social media post in which he suggested that Ann Widdecombe’s death was linked to “radical left thugs”.

Cllr Clatworthy wrote: “Ann Widdecombe has been murdered.

“A straight talking patriot, fearless defender of Britain, taken out in her own home.

“Serious injuries Devon and Cornwall Police confirming murder investigation.

“What kind of a country lets radical left thugs create this climate of fear?

“A broken one. A failing one. One run by weak politicians who’ve surrendered to the mob.

“I faced threats myself. One still live with South Wales Police.

“I’m not backing down. Ann Widdecombe stood against all that. Her murder is a warning.

“Justice for Ann.”

Around half an hour after publishing the post, Cllr Clatworthy deleted it.
