Bob Stewart was convicted of racially abusing Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei by telling him to 'go back to Bahrain'.
More than £4,000 has been raised for a Tory MP convicted of racist abuse. Bob Stewart has surrendered the Conservative whip while he considers an appeal against his conviction for a racially aggravated public order offence, a government source has said. The 74-year-old - a former British Army officer and United Nations commander in Bosnia - was found guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday of racially abusing an activist by telling him to 'go back to Bahrain'.
He has served his country and been decorated at the highest level for bravery. 'This man is now deemed a criminal in his 70s after a lifetime of public service. His legal bills are huge so please can you help?' The fundraising page states it is 'a disgrace to see a case such as this going to court, let alone for a decorated military hero' and 'this is no way to treat our veterans'.
