It would be easy to be of the opinion that it's the UK Labour Party with major issues concerning abusive and offensive behavior committed by its members, with MSM coverage going into overload of late, especially on allegations of anti-Semitism.

However, it would appear that Conservative chair Brandon Lewis' 'respect pledge,' which he launched at the start of the year, has fallen on deaf ears after reports that at least eight Tory council election candidates have been suspended for a myriad of alleged misdemeanors.

RT takes a look at the Tories that have been suspended this month.

George Stoakley

The prospective councillor from Cambridgeshire was suspended this week for an alleged anti-Semitic comment he tweeted in 2013, in which he says: "sweating like a Jew in an Attic," reports the Mirror. The paper also says that Stoakley tweeted, "Some people call it aids, I just call it weaponised semen" and used the word "faggot."

If this was not enough for Stoakley, who describes himself as a 'libertarian conservative' in his Twitter bio, to try to defend, Cambridgeshire News claims that he called an 11-year-old girl a "slag," tweeting in 2014: "What the f*** getting pregnant at 11, and giving birth at 12 dirty little slag should have the child taken away."

A spokesperson for the party said: "George Stoakley has been suspended and an investigation is underway."
