She represents the Europhiles who think there's 'a special place in hell for Brexiteers' - Tusk.

She welcomes attacks on Brexit supporters and politicians.

However, she wants things ramped up with battery acid to permanently disfigure people based on their political views. Milkshakes simply don't achieve this.

The Left talk long into the night about 'Hope not Hate' and rile against the politics of 'division and intolerance.

Oh the hypocrisy.

The fact the BBC are supporting her justifies peoples' negative view of the State Broadcaster.

To conclude: utter scum. Get rid (of the BBC). Good luck Brand finding work. Try CNN?

Wait until Bozo is anointed PM for the fun to really start as his morals are so low that literally anything will go and you are going to be 'offended' an awful lot.
If this offends you then i wouldn't read what the rest of the world (whether they agree with brexit or not) thinks of our fair isle atm. Our standing has never been lower and is going down and it's all thanks to your generation, sorry but it is fact if you take the time to look at non right wing news sites - mind you even more than a few of those are having a good laugh at our expense and its getting louder!

I don't wish to see the woman sacked or prosecuted cos these 'hate' laws are biggest single threat to freedom of expression , but if others have lost their livelihoods for (allegedly) similar comments or tweets that have been deemed offensive then she should go the same way . Any other outcome would suggest that the law is not being applied equally and that it therefore can be used selectively to target individuals with specific political leanings ie. political censorship .
