Our right wing is as fucking mad as your right wing
Anna Soubry (British MP) receives messages calling for her to be hanged as a traitor...
Anna Soubry, one of the 11 Conservative MPs who defied government whips this week when the government suffered its first Commons defeat over Brexit, has received multiple messages saying she should be hanged as a traitor.
Messages received by Soubry’s office – usually seen first by her parliamentary staff – also feature abuse, with one Facebook message saying: “Go hang yourself slag.”
It follows death threats to Dominic Grieve, the former attorney general, who drew up the amendment to the EU withdrawal bill that passed on Wednesday by 309 votes to 305, ensuring MPs must have a final vote on any Brexit deal.
------------------------
One, from a man in Tonbridge, Kent – about 150 miles from Soubry’s Broxtow constituency – read: “You deserve to be HUNG for your attack on our democracy yesterday. WE VOTED OUT! OUT! OUT!” The writer, who gave his full address and telephone number, ended the email: “MAY YOU BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.”

Our stiff upper lip has been lost in a loud noise of nasty racist. Hang 'em high cause if you do not believe in the cause you are a traitor. All my adult life I felt so fortunate to be live where I live and be from my generation. Now I weep, and am fucking furious. Wanker Nazi bastards need to fuck the right off.
Time for remainers to
this shit up and let these low knowledge fuckers know they cannot get away with this shit.
Only slightly cross......
Last year Jo Cox (A British MP) was murdered by these muttering fanatic fools. Call for a hanging right now? Someone is going to try and pull this shit. Because that is what right wingers do.
I end where I started. Where the fuck is our stiff upper lip? Difference of opinion is not treachery. Unless you are a nazi, innit?
