A Liverpool councillor’s comment about a mosque site sparks debate over free speech and religious sensitivity amid a council inquiry.
Liverpool City Council’s inquiry into alleged mismanagement has intensified tensions between Mayor Ned Mannoun, a Muslim, and independent councillor Peter Ristevski, a former Liberal.
Ristevski defended a social media comment calling a proposed mosque site “very ironic” in reference to pork, which Mannoun’s team said was offensive due to religious sensitivities.
Ristevski denied targeting Mannoun, citing free speech and claiming he lacked time to monitor all online activity.
He revealed he previously used a Macedonian social media team for cost efficiency and urged better training for councillors on digital conduct and mental health.
The inquiry continues, with conflicting views on whether the remarks crossed ethical lines.
