Foot in mouth: John Cowan

John Cowan (35) was also accused of saying he "would not be happy" if his children dated Muslims, a localu00a0 newspaper reported.

Describing his sex life, Cowan reportedly wrote: "Why limit it to just one woman? I would prefer one for each day of the week!" He was dropped two weeks after Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour banned another candidate, Stuart MacLennan, from standing in a Scottish seat due to his foul-mouthed rants on micro-blogging site Twitter.

MacLennan abused figures including Brown's main rivals Conservative leader David Cameron, who he called a "twat", and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, who was labelled a "bastard".

A spokeswoman for Labour said Cowan's alleged comments on dating and motoring websites were "totally unacceptable".

"The general secretary of the Labour party has suspended the candidate from the Labour party and we are taking action to ensure he can never be a Labour candidate again," she said, adding that the party's committees would consideru00a0 his expulsion.

Cowan was Labour's candidate in the South East Cambridgeshire constituency in eastern England, seen as a Conservative stronghold.

Defending himself, Cowanu00a0 said, "I post what I think. I think, to be honest, there is a level of transparency thereu00a0 (on the websites) that isn't normally associated with many people in politics."

Tweeted out

Earlier this month, Stuart MacLennan, the Labour candidate in Moray, was sacked over offensive remarks he posted on Twitter -- calling elderly people "coffin dodgers" and being abusive to political rivals and celebrities.
He called Conservative leader David Cameron, a "twat", and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, a "bastard".
