I saw a map of arson attacks and vandalism of churches in France recently, it was insane.

Margaret Hodge calls for ban on social media anonymity

Let me guess, the British people won't get a say in this like usual?

 

well as they criminalise saying anything that they don't want said they will need to identity the people so that they can target them to shut them up

 

they are absolute tyrants. Instead of criminalising dissent why don't they engage in debate? The reason they don't do that is because they know that they can't support their own arguments

 

They're crooks and in the same vein as all the worst dictators of history

If she's so worried about abusive tweets, maybe she should look in the mirror and ask "why am I getting so many abusive tweets?"

that would require self reflection....is she capable of that?


No.
She's a hypocrite.

She threw the 'anti-semitism' slur at Corbyn relentlessly, despite her council trying to give building / planning permission on an old jewish cemetery;

 

Jewish historian Geoffrey Alderman recalled an anecdote about Jeremy Corbyn on 8 May. Back in 1987, the Labour leader successfully campaigned to stop property developers taking over a Jewish cemetery.

Fighting a Hodge-led council to save a Jewish cemetery

And it turns out that Margaret Hodge, who has smeared Corbyn as an antisemite, was leader of Islington Council at the time. Although Hodge’s personal view is unspecified, under her leadership the council approved “destroying the gravestones and digging-up and reburying the bodies” to build for-profit properties.

Alderman, who’s authored many books on Jewish history, wrote that the 176-year-old cemetery was of “great historic and architectural interest”. 
 

This sparked the successful campaign, which Alderman and Corbyn were both a part of, to overturn the council’s decision.
