Cameron: Topless pictures councillor wrong

IT'S official. Conservative councillor David Taylor was wrong to display images of topless women in his office at County Hall.

David Cameron made it clear that he did not consider the pictures appropriate for a Conservative councillor.

The Evening Post asked him for his view on a visit to the newspaper yesterday.

Mr Cameron took no time at all to rule the images out of order.

He said: "If you are a councillor and you are there to represent people, you have got to represent everyone.

"I don't know the details of this case but if a Member of Parliament should not have pictures of topless women on their office walls, the same should apply to a councillor. It could cause offence to people."

Mr Cameron was not swayed by support for Coun Taylor from the Conservative group leader at Notts County Council when the furore erupted last month.

And Coun Taylor's argument that he displayed the images in protest at political correctness cut little ice either.

He said: "Political correctness can go too far, but the good bit of political correctness is politeness. We should always think about good manners and politeness with these issues. It seems to me this one would fall foul of that."
