Suppose Lucy Connolly had said what she said on TV or wrote it in a newspaper - would that be ok?
The fact that she tweeted it doesn't lessen the offence does it?
So why do people say 'jailed for a tweet' like that makes it OK?

The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries).
The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia.
The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

This is tediously stupid now…
Really. Just stop with the idiotic headlines and the swagger and the EUphobic chest-thumping. Brexit is a shitshow. You know it. We know it. Even Trump might know it. Pipe down. Accept that you ballsed it. And leave us to deal with the embarrassing mess you all made.

David Gauke: There's political turmoil in Europe's two biggest states - but beware of indulging in a big Brexit-based sigh of relief | Conservative Home
It is no surprise that Leavers point to the EU’s problems and argue that they justify Brexit. It is an argument that will have some impact, but there are at least five reasons why it should not.
