Mayor suspended for Nazi jibe

KEN Livingstone’s political career was rocked yesterday when he was suspended as Mayor of London for making a Nazi jibe to a Jewish reporter.

A three-man disciplinary tribunal unanimously ruled that Mr Livingstone was “unnecessarily insensitive and offensive” when he compared the London Evening Standard’s Oliver Finegold to a Nazi “concentration camp guard”.

“This decision strikes at the heart of democracy. Elected politicians should only be able to be removed by the voters or for breaking the law,” Mr Livingstone said.
