Lib Dem MP reported to police over tweet.
Discussion
I don't agree with what David Ward said (targeting civilians is wrong, full stop) however Nadhim Zahawi, the Tory MP, was on Newsnight earlier and said he's reported Ward to the Police over the tweet because it incites violence. The Police? What the fk! What a waste of their time.
The offending tweet:
Ward drew criticism after a tweet appeared on his feed saying: "The big question is - if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? - probably yes." He added: "Ich bin ein #palestinian – the west must make up its mind – which side is it on?"
