Was The Conservative Party Right To Withdraw The Whip From Anne Marie Morris
She claimed that the Brexit 'No deal is a n***** in a woodpile’

Not even sure what this phrase means, especially in regard to Brexit (will look it up later), but perhaps in this instance the phrase is ill-considered rather than specifically offensive?
