Tory Councillor Philip Taylor, Ealing, provoked outrage on Twitter for urging Sir David Attenborough to “take a one way trip to Switzerland”

A Tory councillor has provoked outrage on Twitter for urging Sir David Attenborough to “take a one way trip to Switzerland”, a term perceived to encourage the 87-year-old presenter to commit euthanasia.

Ealing councillor Phil Taylor, responding to an article by the broadcaster blaming too many people and not enough land for Africa’s food shortages, tweeted: “I do wish this silly old fart would take a one-way trip to Switzerland. Practice what you preach.”

Those stinking Tories appear to be able to say and do as they please.

Can you imagine the fuss DS Mc Donald would make, if I tweeted  The Rutland Tory Leadership "who are old farts" should take a flight to Switzerland?
