Surprised he doesnt have a fedi account... 

"The #Mayor of #Bath has apologised “unreservedly” after reposting a post on X which called the burning of four #ambulances run by a #Jewish charity, an #Israeli false flag operation.

Dr #BharatPankhania, who is a #LiberalDemocrat councillor and 798th Mayor of Bath, had shared the post on his personal account on X (formerly Twitter). He also reposted two posts suggesting the burning of the #Hatzola ambulances was insurance fraud."

@dukepaaron I predict there will be no consequences for this.

@tjcasser @dukepaaron

If it makes you feel any better the mayor of many British cities including Bath is a purely ceremonial role with no actual powers

@raf @dukepaaron It doesn't.

@tjcasser @raf yeah it says that in the article. Still an elected councillor.

@dukepaaron @tjcasser @raf Precisely. The ceremonial mayor is still an influential member of the party. Mayorality is an honour bestowed on senior sitting council members. And that one should be expelled. Apologies mean nothing. He endorsed that stuff and apologised when the shit hit the fan, with a feign of ignorance of its content. Bollocks. Those politicians don't endorse stuff blindly.

@terryb @dukepaaron @raf Exactly. I always feel like it's a "mask slip" moment when these things happen, and time after time, they're allowed to get away with it because they "apologised".

Never mind if the offended party is asked if they accept or believe the apology (because clearly, they weren't in this case).

@tjcasser guess its time to really hold his feet to the fire and make him visit a Holocaust museum for 40 minutes.

@dukepaaron The thing that actually surprises me about this is people still writing this: “X (formerly Twitter).”
