'The complaint claims that Mackie-Brown’s “born and bred” comment could be considered “insulting to asylum seekers by implying their lesser legitimacy”. This, it was argued, could be considered a breach of Public Order Act 1986 under offences for “intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress”.
It also argues that the comment is “exclusionary” and “discriminatory” which, it is claimed, could constitute a breach of the requirements on councillors to avoid language which could “reasonably be perceived” to be discriminatory.
The complaint said: “The phrase ‘born and bred’ carries specific connotations in immigration discourse, particularly when contrasted with the presence of asylum seekers.
