Parish councillor reported to police over Holocaust comments at rally

Mylor councillor Peter Lawrence made national and international headlines when he was videoed making comments which have been condemned as antisemitic.

A member of the far right British Democratic Party, he refused to resign as a councillor at an extraordinary meeting of Mylor Parish Council last Thursday night despite members of the public urging him to do so.

However, he did apologise to his fellow councillors for the "inconvenience and upset" the incident had caused.

Cllr Lawrence denied being an antisemite or Holocaust denier during the meeting, where his comments at a rally in Truro last month were labelled "absolutely abhorrent".
