A Conservative youth Tsar wrote that ‘police brutality should be encouraged’ in the aftermath of the 2011 London riots, it has been revealed.
Ben Bradley, who was made Tory vice-chairman for youth last week and is the serving MP for Mansfield, made the remarks in a blog.
He wrote: ‘We need to come down hard on these morons before somebody gets killed!
‘If we have any sense as a nation we’ll stay home tonight and make it easy for the police to find the ones hanging around town centres with their faces covered.
‘For once I think police brutality should be encouraged!’
A senior Conservative source told The Times that Mr Bradley ‘was very nice’ but ‘quite naive’, calling the incident ’embarassing’ for the party.
Mr Bradley has apologised for the ‘inappropriate’ language, adding that his outlook had changed since becoming a father.
The 28-year-old was recently promoted during Theresa May’s cabinet reshuffle and only just kept his job following remarks he made about people on welfare.
Mr Bradley suggested benefit claimants should have vasectomies if they could not afford to look after children, before suggesting sterilisation.
The Mansfield MP was writing in support of the benefits cap and suggested it would not be long ‘before we’re drowning in a vast sea of unemployed wasters’.
He added: ‘Sorry but how many children you have is a choice; if you can’t afford them, stop having them! Vasectomies are free..
‘Families who have never worked a day in their lives having four or five kids and the rest of us having one or two means it’s not long before we’re drowning in a vast sea of unemployed wasters that we pay to keep!’
