A BOARD member at the government’s equality watchdog is under fire for “liking” or “retweeting” Twitter posts that described the words misogynist and homophobe as “highly ideological propaganda terms.”
Alasdair Henderson, who led the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) inquiry into anti-semitism in the Labour Party this year, has promoted posts criticising Black Lives Matter protesters, the Guardian reported.
He also “liked” a tweet decrying “offence-taking zealots” who accused philosopher Roger Scruton of anti-semitism, Islamophobia and homophobia, as well as one by Douglas Murray, associate director of the Henry Jackson Society, who once called for immigration of Muslims to Europe to be banned, according to the newspaper.
