Abuse victim: Diane Abbott.

After this, anyone who still wants to claim the Left is responsible for most online abuse will deserve some!

The Tories often like to claim the Left is abusive, especially online.

But a new survey by Amnesty International of abuse received by women MPs in the run-up to the last election clearly shows that online abuse in Britain comes overwhelmingly from the Right:

And the MP who easily receives the most abuse is Britain’s first female black MP Diane Abbott:

Hats off to Diane for taking such industrial scale horrific abuse so fearlessly.

    Maybe you should look at the abuse Nicola Sturgeon gets as well.

    One of the facts conveniently forgotten in the recent Government debate on cyber abuse is that people were paid to troll Corbyn supporters’ sites with anti-semitic, misogynistic, fascistic lies and smears. Some of these may well have picked on Tories – they had multiple IDs and were paid to do as much damage as possible.
