A FORMER town council leader has been criticised for sending 'misogynistic, derogatory and sexist' tweets.
Didcot town councillor Charlie Robertson, who represents the Ladygrove ward, said martial arts star Maycee Barber was a 'big bad booty babe' on Sunday morning.
When challenged on his 'demeaning words' by fellow Twitter users, Mr Robertson refused to back down.
He wrote: "She's got a fat arse and the word 'babe' is complimentary.
"If I said she was a 'munter' or 'pig' it would indeed be demeaning."
The self-described 'UFC enthusiast', who was not answering the phone this morning, has still not deleted the tweets despite continuing to be criticised.

READ AGAIN: Leader of town council ousted after secret ballot
The Twitter account OxTweets said he had some 'interesting, sexist views'.
Have you asked a woman how 'they' feel about being referred to as 'babe' and commenting on her 'booty'? No, i thought not, if you had you would have apologised for your misogynistic, derogatory and sexist behaviour.

Mr Robertson had a short-lived spell as leader of the council in 2016 but was ousted in a secret ballot due to lack of experience.
