I’m not quite sure having a camera crew follow you round presents a very representative day of her safety (or lack thereof).
I’d almost say having a camera crew follow you round is probably quite an effective safety measure.
It’s strange, there were a bunch of people concerned about the intimidation of MPs but they seem to have gone silent. I’m sure they’re not the same people downvoting this post furiously.
>She has to log the date, location and time into a little mechanical device at each destination so security teams know where she is.
So just like any other employee where their job puts them at risk (social workers, care workers, asylum workers, council people, estate agents, lone workers etc.)
>That way, if any danger were to occur, the 30-year-old’s colleagues and the parliamentary authorities can send support as quickly as possible.
So not like other workers where you’re on your own unless you have a gps panic device to a remote contact centre and are reliant on being able to ring 999 yourself
>ever since she has started talking about Palestinian rights, the abuse has come thick and fast.
Maybe talk about constituency issues and uk issues then, instead of a 3000 mile away political hand grenade
Its not that i don’t care about MP’s safety, I just see her now being in the same (but much more protected position) as all the normal everyday workers, that have to deal with the people saying abusive stuff to her.
Welcome to modern Britain Zarah, you can now understand how any social worker, chav enforcer, care worker and public service worker has to navigate their day-to-day life.
I’ve also never seen an MP or political canvasser roll up anywhere alone
I’ll stick with my sympathy going to the people who have to put themselves at risk every day that get the brunt of the shit from people that our MP’s are either riling up or not dealing with thanks.
I am not doubting that there are safety concerns for minority MPs, as there’s plenty of unhinged people out there who’ll message them threats just cause they’re racist assholes.
But can we also please point out that these reports are a PR calculation (“the Tories said something about threats to MPs’ safety, so now we must speak more about our MPs’ safety from a different angle.”)
And, as much as it brings me no joy to point this out, we have (thank God) not had a single Muslim MP targeted by a credible threat so far, but we have an MP stabbed by a Muslim radical.
The rest of us also have to think about our safety. Because crime is rampant, and unlike these privileged cunts, we don’t get close protection. We’re lucky if police show up at all.
Has she ever mention Hamas human rights abused against Palestinians. The “son of Hamas founder” who has turned his back on Hamas has explained how Hamas terrorises its’s own people.
She was all for encouraging people who’s politics she disagreed with to kill themselves and celebrating the hypothetical deaths of politicians before she became an MP herself.
It was sad politicians back then had to put up with people like her, and it’s sad that she has to put up with people like that now.
I feel sorry for what she is experiencing. But at the same time, she is one of the most antisemetic and pro-terrorists MPs. So…
Awful racist MP shocked she has to worry about safety from other racist members of public? I’d like everyone to be safe, even safe from Zarah Sultana MP. But also surely glass houses, stones, goose, gander, etc..
It might sound strange to most men but practically all women do this. Not just MPs. Especially those who have experienced violence first hand. Which is a much higher percentage of women than you can imagine.
Aren’t we all looking out for our own safety? I thought this was a normal thing. I’m not gunna walk towards the group of 20 drunk people fighting am I.

In this day and age it’s actually a little strange that barring a few exceptions our MPs are expected to freely mingle among the general public with no security cover.
