Yeh deeply sorry he got found out - another Naz shah - ? Brent councillor 'deeply sorry' for posting

Cllr Aslam Choudry sparked anger after posting a clip of a discussion that took place on the Real Face television channel.

He immediately left the Mutual Aid Covid-19 group following a backlash by members.

The former mayor, who is the vice chair of Brent Council’s audit and standards advisory committee, told this paper he is sorry for the “hurt and offence” he caused.

He said it was “an accident” and he is “seeking to undertake training on antisemitism” after an article appeared in the Jewish Chronicle.

“As you may have seen reported in the media, I recently shared an antisemitic video in a WhatsApp group,” he said.

“This video promotes appalling antisemitic tropes falsely claiming that Jewish people control America. This is not only untrue, it is racist and unacceptable.

“I am so deeply sorry for sharing this link. I shared the link by accident and when colleagues pointed out that it was an extremely offensive video, I deleted it and apologised.
