Tory MP Bob Stewart was charged with racial abuse on Friday after he told an activist to “go back to Bahrain” The Beckenham MP has informed chief whip Simon Hart that will give up the Tory whip until a possible appeal of his conviction is resolved, a Government source told the PA news agency.
During a heated exchange, Mr Stewart replied: “Go away, I hate you. You make a lot of fuss. Go back to Bahrain.”Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring found Mr Stewart guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence but told him he would not be jailed. Earlier, Paul Jarvis, prosecuting, told the court: “Mr Alwadaei felt upset and humiliated by what had taken place.”However, the prosecutor said Mr Stewart “was not motivated by racial hostility”, but merely demonstrating it.
Mr Jarvis told the court Mr Stewart later said he “regretted” the comments and that he should have ignored the protester but denies the comments were racist.
