The Conservatives have suspended a councillor and would-be MP after an "utterly dreadful" poem about illegal immigrants was sent from her email account.
The Liberal Democrats reported Ellenor Bland to the Commission for Racial Equality after obtaining a copy of the message. But Mrs Bland - who stood for parliament in Swansea East at the last election and was until yesterday an approved Conservative candidate said it was "lighthearted".
Forwarded under the words Oh Yes! Ellie, it is titled Illegal Immigrants Poem and written in pidgin English. It describes a migrant coming to Britain to live on benefits before inviting friends from his home country to join him, buying up the area after white residents move out and "breeding" large families.
"Write to friends in motherland - Tell them 'come fast as you can'. They come in turbans and Ford trucks. I buy big house with welfare bucks," runs one verse.
"Soon we own the neighbourhood ... We have hobby, it's called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding."
It concludes: "We think UK darn good place. Too darn good for the white man race! If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Pakistan!"
Beneath the poem appear the words "Please send this to every British taxpayer you know" and a cartoon of the white cliffs of Dover with the words "Piss off - we're full!" scrawled across them.
