An agent has been sacked after foul-mouthed comments about Jews and Hitler were posted on his Twitter stream.
One comment attributed to Richard Ladd - subsequently sacked by Edinburgh agency McEwan Fraser Legal - included the statement: Shut up you ugly Jewish ****. If only Hitler was still around to sort you out.
Ladd was then sacked after talks with the company.
McEwan Fraser Legal director Neil Morgan has issued a statement saying: No right-thinking person would ever condone this vile, abhorrent language and, as a firm committed to equal opportunities and respect for all regardless of race, colour, religion or gender, we condemn any form of intolerant or discriminatory behaviour. Mr Ladd's employment with our firm was terminated due to gross misconduct after the firm followed the appropriate disciplinary procedure.
Ladd is reported to have worked at McEwan Fraser Legal for only four months after moving from a lettings agency on the Wirral in Merseyside.

so scary to think there are still nazi's in the uk :(
Glad he got the sack. What a disgusting comment to make. Regardless of one's opinions, comments like this have no place in the public domain IMO.
