Anne Marie Morris Wikipedia entry changed to call her a ‘politician and a racist’ – Devon Live
Category: Wikipedia
Anne Marie Morris' page on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, was temporarily changed to describe her as a 'British Conservative party politician and a racist'.
The Wikipedia entry was later amended to describe the political storm which hit the Newton Abbot MP after she was recorded using the racially offesive term 'n****r in the woodpile' during a debate on Brexit with eurosceptics. But for a short time when anybody searched for her details online, this is how she was listed on Wikipedia and the image was copied and circulated on Twitter.
It was later amended to read: "Anne Marie Morris (born 5 July 1957, London) is a British politician who was elected at the 2010 general election as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Newton Abbot.
"In July 2017, Morris had the Conservative whip suspended following the emergence of a recording of her using the racist idiom "nigger in the woodpile". " Listen below to the original recording.
