An SNP councillor in Renfrewshire is being investigated by an ethics watchdog after accusing political rivals of “wanting to kill people” during a debate on independence. Will Mylet, who represents Paisley East and Central, made the comments at a full council meeting in June.
He claimed Labour and Conservative governments were “more than happy” to put money into nuclear weapons and have “the ability to commit genocide”. He added: “You want to kill people, you don’t want to feed people.
"That’s the difference and that’s what I want to change. I want Scotland to be away from nuclear weapons and your parties support Trident on the Clyde. They will never remove it, it will never appear in your manifesto. Again, we’ve got the crocodile tears, every single time.”
