|November 11, 2025
A REFORM UK councillor has apologised for his 'choice of words' in tweets about black women and the police.
The social media posts by Peter Mason, councillor for Burton South and cabinet member for strategic highways on Staffordshire County Council, dating from 2023 and 2024, were recently highlighted by the 'Reform Party UK Exposed' account on X, formerly Twitter.
In one tweet, posted in March 2024, councillor Mason said, "What a surprise a statue of a fat arsed black woman."
And in another post, from April 2024, he said: "Utter rubbish the police now are a bunch of politically indoctrinated British hating scum."
