Fife councillor Altany Craik has quit the selection race after being exposed as a writer of horror stories including some on child sacrifice.

In one, he writes:

“Baring his fangs he gently bit the neck of the weakening sacrifice. As it began to drip its soul into the well, he dropped the child, rewarded with a splash and a scream,”

The name Altany comes from Slovakia in Eastern Europe, not that far from Transylvania.

In August 2023, Labour Leader, Sir Keir Childstarver, said that Labour would keep the two-child benefit cap and associated rape clause which is known to weaken children.

I’m at a loss to understand why Craik needed to pull out. He seems a perfect fit for Labour.
