VICIOUS ex-Tory Brian Coleman disgraced himself again yesterday when he attacked a cancer patient for their condition.

Mr Coleman, formerly a Barnet councillor and London fire authority chair, boasted on Twitter on Tuesday night at being made president of Barnet Rotary Club for the next year.

Barnet blogger and campaigner Roger Tichborne, who regularly writes about his prostate cancer, responded: “It appears that the Barnet Rotary Club condone criminals who attack women. A very sad day indeed.”

Mr Coleman was convicted for assaulting cafe owner Helen Michael in 2012 after she filmed him illegally parking his car in a loading bay.

In his Twitter response Mr Coleman said: “With your constant attacks on the mayor and me and others it must be the hate in you rather than the cancer that is eating you.”
