A married Conservative councillor has been suspended after dressing up as a woman on Facebook in protest against proposed a 6pm curfew for men after Sarah Everard s murder.
Mark Deacon posted an image of himself in a floral pink dress and long black wig - saying it is how he would dress if a curfew were imposed.
The councillor from Plymouth, Devon, who is also an NHS nurse, has issued an apology and has been suspended from his role.
His initial post read: If the Green Party and some Labour party politicians get their way and impose this ridiculous 6pm curfew on men, then I m going to wear my dress more often.
