A man has been arrested after launching a campaign to raise £10,000 to hire a hitman to assassinate Gina Miller.

The 52-year-old man set up a GoFundMe page with the aim to raise £10,000 to 'hire a contract killer to kill Gina Miller: The Traitor of Democracy', using the alias Jeff Blogger.

He was arrested on suspicion of making malicious communications and released pending an investigation, Northumbria Police said.

The GoFundMe page has been deleted after six months online, according to the Sunday Mirror.

The GoFundMe page has been deleted after six months online, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Miller, who led a Supreme Court challenge that forced the government to consult Parliament before triggering the Brexit process, told the paper: “This is horrifying. It beggars belief that this can have been allowed to have been put up on this site and stayed there for so long.

4. In addition...

To being horrified by someone doing this at all ...... I'm in a state of disbelief that this was actually allowed to be up and online for 6 freaking months! I mean.... no one saw this and reported it in that time? NO ONE? I would also like to know how many contributed and how much each did.

6. Not new - not too hard to find newspaper ads

for community fundraisers in Southern states to raise money to assassinate Dr. King. The purpose was clearly stated in the ad - no subtle at all.
