A MASTERMIND of a parliamentary hopeful’s election campaign was sacked after leaving obscene internet comments about religion and “promoting” a website calling on certain people to be “banned from breeding”.

Adam Webb, who was Wavertree candidate Colin Eldridge’s web campaign organiser, was responding to an article about the rise of creationist theory in education when he posted two requests on Facebook for “all religious people to just ---- off”.

Mr Webb also attached a link to a web article which called on certain types of people to be “banned from breeding”, including “vile women with too many kids”. It also suggests people who have abortions do so because they realise the child will be “useless”.

Last night, the Liberal Democrats said his comments were “totally inappropriate” and they had dismissed him as soon as they came to light.

The party insisted Mr Webb was never an official spokesman and even thanked Liverpool Labour group leader Joe Anderson for bringing the issue to their attention.

Cllr Eldridge said he “entirely disagrees” with Mr Webb’s comments.

Cllr Anderson last night said despite the sacking, Cllr Eldridge should apologise to those Mr Webb offended.

Campaigners from Abortion Rights also condemned the comments, saying “no mainstream political party should be associated with views such as these”.

The row followed prime minister Gordon Brown’s dismissal of a Scottish Labour candidate after he posted Tweets joking about slavery, “chavs” and “coffin-dodgers”.
