An ‘irresponsible’ Manchester councillor has been reported to the police after sharing conspiracy theories about coronavirus on social media.
Coun Kenneth Dobson has come under fire after controversial messages labelling COVID-19 a ‘bogus virus’ and a ‘load of bol**x’ appeared on his Twitter.
The posts, which prompted warnings that spreading such disinformation ‘puts lives at risk’, have also been reported to the council’s chief executive.
But in a statement on Facebook, Coun Dobson urged anyone who disagrees with him to stay away from his page ‘as there is a lot more to come’.
