[peppertree]

A Conservative politician is being investigated after an audio recording said to be him saying ‘all white men should have a black man as a slave’ was unearthed.

Andrew Edwards is a councillor at Pembrokeshire County Council in Wales and has left the local Tory party while the probe takes place.

Mr Edwards, a self-employed hairdresser, is also accused of saying that black people are ‘lower class than whites’ in the 16-second audio clip.

1. Impressive

We are going to be treated to AI-generated fake audio in the next election cycle, so it might be enlightening to know the circumstances of recordings such as this one.


"The recording emerged online and is believed to be Mr Edward’s voice. It isn’t known when or where the clip was recorded."

These people want to take us back to the bad old days. They would like us to forget how horrible those days were for Black people. And they were plenty bad for many non-Black people. And even for some so-called white people.
