A councillor has been forced to apologise after allegedly posting a photo of a mass murderer to praise an Asda meal deal. Tom Maclean who is an independent councillor in Colwyn Bay posted a doctored photo of Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Breivik holding the supermarket advert.
The edited photo showed the killer holding an advert offering offers for the over 60s. The original photo of the killer was taken when he was on trial over the attacks he carried out in Norway in 2011, which killed 77 people. He was found guilty of mass murder, causing a fatal explosion, and terrorism.
Cllr Maclean later posted to say he hadn't realised who the man in the fake image was and called him a "pretty ghastly figure". He apologised for any offence caused.
