Anglesey council deputy leader quits over 'shoot Tories' comment
A councillor has stepped down as deputy leader of The Local authority after he reportedly told a meeting that " all Tories should be shot".
Ieuan Williams apologised for The Comment , which was made at an internal Anglesey council meeting on Monday.
The Independent councillor said he was " angry and emotional" about poverty when he made the " crass remark".
Local Conservative MP Virginia Crosbie said she was disgusted by The Comment .
" This is not the rough and tumble of political life, this is out and out hate, " the MP said.
" Councillor Williams knows I wear A Stab vest at surgeries but still he causally remarks I and others who are Conservative should be shot.
" Two MPs have lost their lives in The Last seven years and still he thinks saying such things is OK. "
Mr Williams, who was The Council leader between 2013 and 2017, said: " I apologise profusely for any offence caused by my inappropriate comment.
" The remark was made at The End of an emotionally charged statement, following a presentation on poverty on Anglesey.
" I Am obviously not advocating shooting anyone and have apologised to all members present at The Meeting .
'Inappropriate and unacceptable'" I have also referred myself to the standards committee and have stood down as deputy leader and member of the executive whilst any potential investigation takes place.
" This is not about any one individual. The Real issue at hand here is what made me so angry and emotional in The First instance. We have a 99% increase in food bank usage on Anglesey in the three months since November 2022. "
Anglesey council chief executive Dylan Williams said: " The Comment made was inappropriate and unacceptable. "
" Following dialogue with councillor Williams earlier today, he has referred himself to The Chair of the standards committee.
" In the meantime, he has also stood down as deputy leader and education and Welsh Language portfolio holder. "
" Councillor Williams has accepted that his remarks were unacceptable and has apologised. "
