A Swedish politician has been sacked after he accidentally broadcast footage of himself calling a female minister a “whore”.

Delmon Haffo represents the centre-right Moderate party in Salem, south west of Stockholm, and also promotes himself as a digital communicator for the party.

He appeared to be trying out a new video camera with colleagues when the comments were made about Social Service Minister Annika Strandhäll.

Unbeknown to Mr Haffo, the camera was streaming a live broadcast to the party’s YouTube channel.

Ms Strandhäll had earlier made joke comments on social media about how the right to vote should be withdrawn from men following the election of Donald Trump.

In the video, Mr Haffo said into the camera: "Annika Strandhäll, it was not okay to joke about men's right to vote. Go to hell, you whore."

Mr Haffo also made similar derogatory comments about a press spokesman at the Social Ministry, Victor Harju.

"It is completely unacceptable," said Moderate paerty leader Anna Kinberg Batra, to the Dagens Nyheter newspaper. “It is not funny. This sort of thing should not happen."

The most controversial internet crazes Show all 7 1 /7 The most controversial internet crazes The most controversial internet crazes Gun Selfies Where it actually came from remains a mystery, but the 'Selfie' remains a popular feature on the internet - it was even named word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. However, a number of gangs in America have taken it a step further, posting 'gun selfies' of themselves. Last year, two men were charged for 142 counts of possession of a firearm and were bailed by police after posting numerous photos. The craze has led to several calls for photos to be taken down, with parents fearing that children could try and create their own poses. Instagram The most controversial internet crazes Planking Originating in Australia in 2008, the trend of 'planking' swept Britain a year later. The craze, in which people form a straight figure with hands down by their sides, had thousands of participants uploading their efforts on to Facebook. While most were harmless enough, the more daring have been known to plank across railway tracks and between buildings, causing major health concerns. In 2011, a 20-year-old man died after 'planking' on a seven-story building in Australia. Twitter The most controversial internet crazes Twerking Twerking, a mixture of twisting and jerking, has been around since the late 1990s, but its popularity dramatically increased after Miley Cyrus 'twerked' at the 2013 MTV VMA awards with Robin Thicke, prompting fans to upload their own versions on Youtube - we've even had twerking stormtroopers. It's since been accused of corrupting the minds of young people and, last year, 33 students were suspended after making a video of themselves 'twerking' using school equipment. Machinima The most controversial internet crazes Happy Slap It's been almost a decade since the Happy Slap craze broke out in the UK, but what started out in as a small joke between friends in Lewisham in 2004 eventually became a nationwide phenomenon. Happy Slapping involved a victim being filmed on a camera phone getting slapped. As the craze spread, incidents became more and more vicious and it was linked to a rise in bullying in school playgrounds. In 2008, a teenage girl was sentenced to two years' detention after filming the fatal beating of a man. nydailynews.com The most controversial internet crazes Tombstoning 'Tombstoning' emerged in 2012 as a much more dangerous fad. It involved finding the highest rock to leap from, giving jumpers sufficient time to change their body position to resemble a tomb falling into the sea. It was invented initially as a way to keep cool during sizzling temperatures, but as the challenges became more daunting, some experienced horrific injuries as a result of jumping into shallow or rocky waters. Twitter The most controversial internet crazes McDiving While not as dangerous as other internet fascinations, McDonald's staff are now finding themselves on the receiving end of another internet craze. 'McDiving' started last year and normally comes at the end of an alcohol-fuelled night out, where it is then customary for a 'McDiver' to go to the nearest McDonald's and launch themselves over the counter. McDonald's franchises have even started hiring bouncers at peak times of the day to deal with any mischief makers. YouTube The most controversial internet crazes Gallon Smashing Given that glossy floors are prominent in supermarkets, it would be deemed acceptable to see the occasional person slip over. But this is no accident. Gallon smashing started to appear on Youtube last year and has becoming increasingly popular in the US. It sees agile teenagers throw gallons of milk in the air as well as hurtling themselves on to the ground. However, with the mess, cost and inconvenience that is caused, the 'gallon smashing' craze has seen security stepped up in supermarkets. YouTube

She continued: "Actually, it's quite simple. You may criticise your opponents for politics that's wrong or when ministers do the wrong thing, but you must never make foul comments to other people or cross the line – regardless of the party who does it.

"There's too much of that at the moment, I think."
