Oxford Labour councillor resigns over 'anti-Semitic' Facebook post

[oberliner]

An Oxford councillor has resigned from the Labour Party over a Facebook post comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.

Labour's Ben Lloyd-Shogbesan also shared a positive post about late Libyan leader Col Gaddafi, and another implying same-sex marriage was a "perversion".

He has now removed the posts and apologised for "any offence".

The Labour Group said an inquiry into the case is ongoing, describing his actions as "extremely disappointing".
