A BNP councillor will face a standards investigation after he described an Asian garage attendant as “f***ing filth” on an internet blog .

Nuneaton Coun Martyn Findley (Barpool) launched the attack because the Asian man was staring at his son who was wearing his army cadet uniform.

He posted: “How dare this piece of filth look at my son like that while he proudly wares (sic) his uniform?

“If he has a problem with British Army uniform there are plenty of places on gods (sic) earth that he will not see it.

“He should move to one of them.”

The comments have led to Nuneaton and Bedworth’s longest serving councillor, Dennis Harvey (Lab, Camp Hill) to call for Coun Findley to resign.

He said: “I’m just disgusted – this is clearly racist. I think any councillor who has to resort to that sort of abuse should resign.”

Coun Harvey confirmed that Coun Findley would be reported to the standards board.
