SNP bosses have been urged to sack a national executive committee member after it emerged she admitted shouting abuse at the Pope and called the 9/11 terror attacks an "inside job".
Siobhan Tolland, who is also standing in the upcoming council elections in Dundee, posted in 2010 that she travelled to Edinburgh to see Pope Benedict XVI and revealed she "might have gone a wee bit too far when she called him a c***".
The candidate for the Lochee ward also took to her Facebook page to say that she believed the CIA and the FBI were behind the attacks in the US which killed 2,977 people.
Tolland, who is a disability and dyslexia adviser at Dundee University, has since deleted the tweets with SNP chiefs saying the comments were "regrettable".
In a social media post on September 11, 2010, she posted: "Siobhan thinks everyone should protest against the Pope for his cover ip of sex abuse crimes and is going to the demo on Lothian road (outside Usher Hall) on Thursday."
Five days later she then wrote her throat as "ah sair wi shouting at the Pope".
The SNP candidate did say that she “got a chance to tell him he should be arrested for child abuse”, the Courier reports.
Earlier in 2010, Tolland posted about 9/11 saying: "I think I have overdone the 9/11 govt complicity documentaries over this weekend. False flag, inside job, peal oil I know I know I get it. Yet I canna stop watching them. Help me."
On July 4, she wrote: "The CIA (with help from the FBI) did it."
Then later in the month, she posted: "9/11 was in inside job."
As people around the world remembered those who died in the attacks on the anniversary in 2010, Tolland posted: "On the anniversary of September 11, we should all vow to honour the victims by trying to get justice and bring the real perpetrators to account."
Later in the month, she said she knows her "9/11 obsession is getting bad" after "shouting at a random bloke about 9/11 being an inside job" during a dream.
Michael Marra, who represents the Lochee ward on Dundee City Council and is now a North East Labour MSP, said: "The SNP nationally and locally must urgently reconsider whether this individual is a fit candidate for public office."
A spokesperson for Dundee SNP said the posts by Tolland are "regrettable and reflect a difficult period in her life which she has long since moved on from".
They added: "Ms Tolland is very sorry and she has deleted them."
Tolland did not respond to a request for comment from the Courier.
