Nick Buckley has been dismissed from Mancunian Way, a charity he founded

His 570-word blog sparked fury among campaigners who branded him a racist

He said charity had been put in a 'terrible situation' by social media pressure

An award-winning charity boss who has helped thousands of disadvantaged youngsters has been sacked after criticising the far-Left political agenda of the Black Lives Matter campaign.

Nick Buckley was dismissed by the trustees of Mancunian Way, a ground-breaking charity he founded nine years ago, after an online mob accused him of 'inappropriate' and 'insensitive' views and demanded his removal.

Mr Buckley, who was awarded an MBE six months ago for his work with vulnerable youngsters across Manchester, warned of the 'neo-Marxist' policies of Black Lives Matter UK – which include tearing down capitalism and abolishing the police – and said they risked dividing communities.
