A Tory councillor who suggested that parents on benefits should
be sterilised has resigned.
John Ward was suspended from the Conservative group on Medway
Council in Kent over comments he made on his personal website.
In the blog, which has now been removed, Mr Ward attacked those
who "breed for greed".
He cited a woman who has had seven children by five fathers as
an example of Breakdown Britain.
Just before he stood down yesterday Mr Ward, 58, admitted his
comments had been "unfortunately worded".
He claimed he had been interrupted while writing by a "pushy
cold caller" who had left him in a foul mood.

He said: "The idea was to stimulate a debate looking into
ways of tackling the situation without anything as drastic as
that.
"It obviously didn't work out right.
"I've had a couple of complaints from people who've been
offended by it. I apologise if it has caused offence."
After the blog appeared, Medway Liberal Democrat leader Geoff
Juby urged Mr Ward to move to China which has a one-child-family
policy.
