Conservative Party headquarters said he had been suspended pending an investigation into his conduct. Asked why he had chosen to wear the Nazi-style uniform, Mr Gardner said: "It's one of those situations, you had to be there. There was nothing wrong, it was just good fun. I was at a fancy dress party, it was nothing more."

He said the Conservative Party's decision to suspend him had been "very improper". The images were taken from a Facebook page, which Mr Gardner said was a "total violation of my privacy". He said: "I am a councillor who represents the people, politics is not my thing, serving the people is my game.
"I am disgusted about what the Conservatives have decided to do. I serve the people of Harrogate and serve them very well actually. If I have gone wrong I will apologise now to the people of Harrogate, if I have offended them in any way."

Further proof that wingnuts are the same everywhere.
