Reform Candidate Who Said ‘Nigerians Should Be Melted Down To Fill Pot Holes’ Wins Seat

A Reform candidate who said Nigerians should be melted down to ‘fill in pot holes’ has won a seat in this week’s local elections.

Glenn Gibbins, the candidate for Hylton Castle Ward in Sunderland, wrote on Facebook (since-deleted): ‘Carnt believe amount of Nigerians in town… should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes!!’

Wonder if that’s going to be on the agenda of the next town council meeting? He’s written and deleted a whole bunch of other things over the years, too…

I mean, the guy seems like a caricature of your average Reform voter, but it’s shocking to find he’s an actual politician himself. Surely being able to spell properly should be a prerequisite to run for a council seat? “Carnt”? This guy genuinely seems dumb as dog sh1t…

Pretty mental that saying Nigerians should be ‘melted down to fill pot holes’ doesn’t automatically disqualify someone from holding any official role in politics, but I guess this is where the U.K. is at right now. Interesting times ahead…
