I can assure it means protecting society from the threats she made to it?
Knowing Bravernan they’re probably threats she called in herself
People have been jailed for making threats at times. I don’t personally know why anyone would risk a jail sentence over her, she’s not even worth a parking ticket.
> On a recent trip to a supermarket, she said people called her “a genocidal bleep” in front of her children.
Who says bleep?
To everyone downplaying this in this thread, I wonder how many made sobby posts when Jo Cox was killed.
Political discourse is terrible now, instead of debating issues and the implications/costs/benefits/trade offs you end up with people attacking the character of people and assigning negative intent / bad motive to people.
Oh, does she feel scared and threatened? Imagine having to face the consequences of your actions. But even then, will she or her like actually learn and grow? Doubt it.
She was (is?) arguably the worst of an extremely awful bunch. My sympathy does not extend to people who wielded power in the way she did.
Suella Braverman still has 24-hour security as a consequence of her own actions
> “I’ve never incited violence. I’ve never threatened to attack anybody. I’ve never encouraged anybody to be violent.
She may never have directly told people to go and commit a specific violent crime, but her rhetoric has stoked division and hatred in this country. She’s at least partly to blame for creating a culture where some people felt it was acceptable to violently attack immigration centres and trans people.
Her refusal to acknowledge that is grossly disingenuous, but then I’d expect nothing less from her.
> I have set out very legitimate views, about political issues because I’m a politician and it’s my job to do so.”
Again, disingenuous. She could have set out whatever views she chose on any subject she chose. Her divisive and hateful rhetoric was a deliberate decision by her. You don’t get to say whatever nasty shit you like and then hide behind ‘I was just doing my job’ like a moral coward.
Oh no! The consequences of her actions are coming back!
I guess no one should be threatened, the same way no one should be mauled by a tiger, but if you jump into the tiger cage when people have been repeatedly telling you to stop then there is only so much blame I can give the tiger!
