A COUNCILLOR has apologised for posting that he likes ‘tits and foof foof’ on Facebook – while he was drunk celebrating Brexit.

Frankley Great Park councillor Simon Morrall (Cons), who made the comment, has since removed the post which one councillor branded ‘sexist’ and ‘juvenile’.

The Brexiteer had been in the capital over the weekend celebrating Britain’s official exit from the European Union.

At 8.23pm on Saturday (February 1) he asked for recommendations for the ‘Best clubs in London??’

One follower suggested the gay bar Heaven Nightclub near Trafalgar Square, to which he replied: “…well I can typically out dance gays all night, but unfortunately I like tits and foof foof!”

The latter phrase, also spelled ‘fouf’, is a slang term for a woman’s genitals.

Cllr Nicky Brennan (Sparkhill), women’s officer for the Labour group, branded the post ‘offensive and degrading’ to women and the LGBT community.

She made a formal complaint to council leader Ian Ward and said: “Locker room talk and objectification of women’s body parts should not be tolerated.

“It is misogyny, clear and simple. It would not be tolerated in the workplace and it has no place in society, let alone on the Facebook page of a Birmingham City Council Councillor.”

She argued councillors are ‘ambassadors’ for the city and such remarks undermined the authority’s ability to represent all resident ‘regardless of sexuality and gender’.

Cllr Brennan added: “I am proud of the strides forward that Birmingham City Council has made in supporting women, particularly in recent years.

“Issues such as domestic abuse, period poverty, maternity leave and breastfeeding (to name a few), spearheaded by the Labour Group, demonstrate that we in Birmingham are committed to tackling and highlighting issues that disproportionately impact upon women.

“I am not willing for this progress to be undermined by sexist language and juvenile behaviour.”

She also suggested Cllr Morrall ‘engage with women’s organisations within Birmingham such as BWSAID [Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid] or RSVP [Rape and Sexual Violence Project] to learn the impact of patriarchy and misogyny in society and reflect upon his behaviour’.

Cllr Morrall was prompted to address the comments during Full Council Question Time on Tuesday, February 4.

He said: “It has been brought to my attention that some comments I made drunkenly over the weekend on my Facebook have got some media attention.

“Those comments were in no way intended to offend, objectify or upset anybody, so I would like to take this opportunity to formally apologise, I’m sorry.”

Cllr Morrall also assured he was supportive of women and the LGBT community when asked how he would ‘reflect’ on his comments by Cllr Brennan.
