Disgraced Tory MP said Scots can't be trusted with 'big jobs like saying foreign words'
DISGRACED Tory MP Ben Bradley once wrote that he doesn’t think Scots should be trusted with “big jobs like saying foreign words”.
Bradley’s post from 2010, which has been uncovered from the now-deleted blog by the Political Scrapbook website, criticises football pundit Alan Hansen’s accent.
It says: “My highlight so far is Alan Hansen talking about ‘Pujol,’ who definately (sic) isn’t playing. Scottish people should not be trusted to with (sic) big jobs like saying foreign words!”
Bradley’s ironically incoherent and mis-spelt attack on Hansen’s pronunciation is, however, probably one of the least controversial posts on his old blog. Another comment called for unemployed people to be sterilised, while others ridiculed public sector workers and supported police brutality.

On the since-deleted blog, Bradley opined that "public sector workers are lost in their own fantasy land" and should quit their jobs if they weren't happy with the pay.
The "police brutality" mentioned above relates the the 2011 London riots, when he wrote: "We need to come down hard on these morons before somebody gets killed! If we have any sense as a nation we’ll stay home tonight and make it easy for the police to find the ones hanging around town centres with their faces covered. For once I think police brutality should be encouraged!"
He was on a roll:
Today, BuzzFeed News unearthed a deleted tweet from August 2011 in which Bradley celebrated a decision by David Cameron to allow police to deploy water cannon to bring rioters under control.
"The water cannons are coming," Bradley told his followers, under a picture of a water cannon spraying protesters in Ireland.
"I'll be in front of the news tonight watching police play 'Splat the Chav,'" he continued.
