Former Tory councillor banned over racist message
Western Mail
|June 24, 2025
FORMER councillor has been banned from serving on local authorities for four years after sending a racist message.
Andrew Edwards was a Pembrokeshire ward councillor for the Haverfordwest Prendergast ward. He resigned in December last year.
In 2023, it was reported that he said on a recorded audio clip, sent via messaging app WhatsApp: "Nothing wrong with the skin colour at all. I think all white men should have a black man as a slave, or black woman as a slave, you know.
"There's nothing wrong with skin colour, it's just that they're lower class than us white people, you know."
Mr Edwards released a statement at the time, which read: "I am aware of such serious allegations being made against me.
"This is why I have self-referred to the public services ombudsman for an independent evaluation.
