An independent Tory website removed a comment suggesting that London mayoral race advisor Lee Jasper should be hung from a flagpole outside City Hall.
Conservative Home, a site regarded as Tory members' favourite blog, removed the posting after Blink highlighted it. The offensive comment was posted amid a discussion about hoisting the Union Jack outside London City Hall. Tory assembly member Roger Evans wrote: "There are three flagpoles at City Hall, so we could fly the Union flag, the St George Cross and something else..."
Another member, using the name Genuine Conservative replied: "Personally Roger I would suggest Lee Jasper for the third flagpole."
Yesterday Sam Coates, deputy editor of Conservative Home, deleted the comment by Genuine Conservative but claimed it could have been sent by a Labour member out to cause trouble.
