  1. Amazing that you can lose this amount of money from a tweet. I think both tweets were stupid tbh.

  2. Quick reminder she photoshopped an image of Corbyn at an anti apartheid protest, she changed it to say Corbyn is a racist.

    she can give it but not take it would seem

  3. Absolutely undeserved. She all but called Corbyn a nazi and then turned around and cried “it was just a prank” when someone pointed it out.

  4. She’s been a bit stupid with her tweeting at times, but it’s incredible how she’s become such a major target for certain leftwing keyboard warriors. Definitely an unwarranted level of hatred she’s got over essentially just sticking up for her people, occasionally in a clumsy or inappropriate way.

    Just search her name on that communist UK subreddit (I suspect naming it might get me filtered) and see how many times she comes up. They spend more energy making an enemy out of her than they do any actual right wing figure. Really weird and pathetic obsession, which would cause anyone distress to be on the end of it.

  5. Think its about time to recognise twitter as it own ecosystem. Those that want to live there can have any standards they like, have their own little twitter courts, make little twitter judgements and punish twitter inhabitants to their hearts content, and just leave the rest of us alone.

  6. Siri, show me the Venn diagram of people who thought it was funny when Farage/Tommy Robinson et al got milkshaked vs people who think Corbyn being egged is egregious assault.

  7. Of course she’s wearing one of those face shield things which don’t actually do anything to protect the people around you. That’s very on brand for her.

  8. I’m baffled. She DID tweet that Corbyn was a Nazi, and she IS stupid. She strongly inferred that Corbyn was a Nazi who deserved to be attacked. There’s very little room for imagination there.

    I’m struggling to see how someone tweeting that truth has caused her reputation 10 grands worth of damage.

  9. She’s taken trolling to a higher level. Posting provocative, baiting tweets and then suing when she gets the response she likely fully expected.

    I just hope Mike Sivier ends up taking her to the cleaners.
