Rising star Tory campaigner's rape joke stunt

Connor Axiotes, 25, was this week seen celebrating with the new Prime Minister in Westminster.

But four years ago he was part of a group of students snapped in T-shirts scrawled with comments that ridiculed rape and child abuse.

His T-shirt bore the slogan: "I've got muscles cus dad raped me." Other T-shirts had slogans including "f*** gay rights" and a Jimmy Savile joke.

Outcry over the Freshers Week stunt led to Lancaster University's Snowsports Club being suspended.
