To me it seems that the reason this is hitting the news is that it happened to a woman.
The BBC seems to suggest that women MPs get far more abuse then men, is there any evidence of this?
I would suggest just go look on Twitter.The BBC seems to suggest that women MPs get far more abuse then men, is there any evidence of this?
If I were being provocative I'd also say look at the Diane Abbott thread on here. Yes she makes some appalling gaffes but enough to warrant that thread solely off of those gaffes?

What was worse what happened to Ann Soubry or Jaccobb Rees Mogg were protesters targeted him and his family?

The vast majority of leavers did it with good intentions. But Leave 'won' by getting a small group of people who had never voted for anything, engaged by the immigration / take back control yadda yadda.
So we are left with this small group of bigots who will forever be angry because their life sucks and it always will regardless of if we stay/leave/ or get out without a deal.....
They are the disenfranchised scum. I'd be embarrassed to stick up for them on principle that they are scum...
Leave did not need to do anything to win, the EU had already done enough to ensure enough people were against it when they told Cameron to get lost.So we are left with this small group of bigots who will forever be angry because their life sucks and it always will regardless of if we stay/leave/ or get out without a deal.....

I think they're both bad and I think there is a double-standard in that Mogg's harassment didn't get the same amount of coverage.What was worse what happened to Ann Soubry or Jaccobb Rees Mogg were protesters targeted him and his family?
Sometimes it takes a straw to break the camels back - this may be it, time will tell.
Oh and you don't need to "have twitter" to be able search Twitter or Google, the examples are easy to find.

I do not get how harassing children of Jacob Rees Mogg is nearly as bad as protesting against Anna Sonbry MP, she is a public servant who has chosen the stance she has.
It's easyJRM = Evil bd his children are therefore evil too
Sourbry= misunderstood woman
Thats how it seems to some of us UKIP voting, swastika underpants wearing, Foreigner hating little racist engladerz

I got the wording wrong, sorry, I edited it.
It's ok as it seems to have vanished off the front pages just as quickly as a smokescreen canIf that dastardly Bercow creature hadnt done what he did then the concerns raised would have been able to dominate for a few days longer

There really is nothing more convincing than anecdotal evidence. https://twitter.com/spikedonline/status/1083356216...
