As you may know, this tosser has been targeted by the British police for hate speech. Let her flourish in all her dottiness.
Her outburst was not an incitement to immediate lawlessness nor did it incite a riot. Nor was her bile a threat against a specific person nor could cause any particular person to be alarmed. Basically, big talk in the pub which unfortunately had Wi-Fi. If the police had left her alone she would not have even got 15 seconds of fame.
Her manifesto says that she has “ZERO TOLERANCE on homophobia, queer-phobia, trans*phobia, racism, Islamaphobia, misogyny, ableism, cis-sexism, and classist behaviour.” Seems as though blasphemy is OK as long as it is not against Islam. Anti-Semitism seems to be okay as well by her.
If you want to go around rounding up the lefties for hate speech, the police would have nothing else to do given all bile they spit at capitalism and the successful.

Campaigns and Awareness
