Down-under racists target Bradford councillor over ‘Allah litter’ row

A COUNCILLOR who exposed a blunder involving thousands of potentially offensive leaflets targeted at the Muslim community says he has been targeted by racists – from as far away as Australia.

John Robertshaw (Con, Bowling and Barkerend), spoke out after the anti-littering leaflets produced by Bradford Council and aimed specifically at Muslims had to be scrapped.

Around 16,000 of the full-colour, glossy flyers were printed six months ago but were never distributed after a senior council manager spotted their potential to offend.
