”there’s no place for this in our politics”. Well, sorry, it has found a place! Reading a BBC article this morning that laid the vileness of this out in detail!
Candidates receiving death threats even before they are in office, horrendous abuse etc.
Drastic action is urgently needed!!!!
The most capable people we need in politics and in government are no longer putting themselves forward, which is gravely impacting us all!!!
The government AND INDEED SOCIETY must come down on this hard! Our politicians must be safe! They cannot continue to face intimidation!
Freedom of speech is great, but there has to be a line that cannot, must not be crossed! It is presently being routinely crossed online and now, we have allowed it to gradually cross over into real life conversations and it is not ok.
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
