A fundraising appeal, set up by a Tory MP and backed by others, has raised money to help a Conservative backbencher who was convicted of racist abuse.

Mr Clarke-Smith wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Having hit the original target in less than 24 hours, we are raising funds to fight the outrageous charges/conviction brought against Rt Hon Colonel Bob Stewart DSO MP and the legal costs associated with it.” Mr Anderson wrote a message of support on the fundraising page, urging his friend to “keep your chin up old soldier”.

“This man is now deemed a criminal in his 70s after a lifetime of public service. His legal bills are huge so please can you help?” He described Mr Stewart as “a national hero and a decent man” and also thanked Mr Clarke-Smith for leading the appeal where excess donations are earmarked for the Royal British Legion.

During a heated exchange, Mr Stewart replied: “Go away, I hate you. You make a lot of fuss. Go back to Bahrain.”Mr Goldspring, despite mentioning Mr Stewart’s “immense positive character”, remarked: “I accept he is not racist per se, but that is not the case against him.The MP told the court that he is “not a racist” and that it had been “extremely offensive” for the demonstrator to suggest he was “corrupt”.
