Threats to MPs are at"unprecedented" levels, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has said.
"Polarised opinion" on political and social issues was also having"a big impact on the scale and impact of protest activity", she added. Ministers have said they intend to pass a law creating a specific new criminal offence of intimidating parliamentary candidates and party campaigners.
'we need an excuse to push us further in 1984'
Oh my heart bleeds. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
That’s because they have free accommodation in Britain’s murder capital
It’s wrong in all cases, but maybe MPs need to moderate their behaviour and inflammatory language
Diddums.
Now if they were not lying toe rags who only do the job for their own personol interest and gain the world would be a better place 😊😊😊
Yeah yeah. We all have to deal with violence. How about nurses who have to deal with drunk dickheads every Friday and Saturday.
I wonder why?
Who created the problem in the first place, could you answer that, mate?
How the hell this women is still in charge of the MET god only knows,
Really not surprised.
Maybe it is linked to MPs behaving in an unprecedented way like assholes.
Because they lie and cheat. They think they are above the electorate. Wonder if we can sue an MP for not keeping an election promise?
Not that I approve, but people are sick and tired of their childish, destroying, self-promoting antics.
jenjeffiner Well fucking do something about it then Rozzers
We elected these MP's, any attack on them is an attack on our democratic sovereignty, they're not behaving like British citizens.. brexitchaos
Threat to emergency service, armed service personnel remain unprecedented everyday! Where is the story in this
Would you believe it!
Mps - people of the UK are stupid and we should ignore what they vote for Citizens - Your nothing but a bunch of quislings Mps - HELP IM BEING THREATENED IM SUCH A VICTIM
It's the same old story. The police are failing to act on the likes of Jo Cox, Andrew Mitchell, Tom Tugendhat, Anna Soubry, Yvette Cooper etc. So people feel they have to take matters into their own hands.
The threats to the public from MPs is beyond belief.
Absolute rubbish!
That’s a joke right it’s the mp’s and the prime minister that should keep us safe which with lack of police are failing.
By threats ....does that include deselection
Not a surprise as they have let down the country
howiedubz No s*** Sherlock!
Surely our main stream media are at risk too, they are more corrupt and mistrusted than our politicians, especially yours truly and Sly News.
So is knife crime but I guess we can all expect what will be dealt with vigorously first.
Good job that this time the electorate do the voting and not a bunch of PATHETIC politicians.
I'm going to call BS on that racism and sexism, it was found once before that actually it was male MPs getting the most abuse.. but of course that doesn't suit the so-called 'progressive' narrative of women and minorities being perpetual victims.
Thanks to this government we are all under greater threat. Welcome to our world
Most think they above the law .
I guess the rest of us aren't much safer, but they're more important, right?
How about taking your role of protecting the young people in London from knife crime as ‘seriously’? DoubleStandards
And they wonder why that is , 600 odd MP’s that say they want what’s best for the british people then stab us in the back behind closed doors , and can’t make a single decision between ya all , your all a bloody disgrace!
Parasites-Claiming taxpayers money to buy 2nd homes and renting them out!Being anti democratic.Lying in Parliament like Amber Rudd.Leaking intelligence out of meetings.
Maybe if they weren’t so useless...
They have to find a way to get some credibility back and a good place to start is to honour the views of the electorate and GET US OUT OF EUROPE
And frankly it’s their own bloody fault.....
metpoliceuk Best news I have read all day they are nothing but conniving crooks UKParliament HouseofCommons Conservatives UKLabour
Just like everyone else then
Welcome to the real world, crime in general has risen to ridiculous levels, it's not just women & ethnic minorities, its across the board, as lack of police officers let's criminals know they can get away with it. MP's are no more targeted than anyone else, just they whine more.
joannaccherry
joannaccherry
Speaks volumes to the efficacy of The Met!
Now thers a surprise
Yes but actual violence is happening to mep candidates.
Who'll take out Theresa
Really, her own cabinet told us that three months ago.
Bit like knife crime most of them are stabbing each other in the back
Duh I wonder why. They should think themselves lucky we're not like the French
Well if they did their job and obeyed the will of the people,there wouldn't be any need for threats. The fact that there are threats should signal warning bells stating they are doing something wrong
What do they expect they have taken the British public for mugs
joannaccherry All of us are at greater risk.Violent crime is rocketing.Welcome to the real world.
Hopefully MPs will reverse the cuts to the police service then 🤔
She totally lost it in all fronts
Hardly surprising given their behaviour. Lying cheating self serving corrupt scum. However, those who threaten violence to them or their families should be locked away.
The peasants are revolting!
Not just MPs.
400 just been done for more expenses mischief.
Yes John McDonnell she’s spot on.
Yes and the public have rights to expect that mp's conduct themselves in a right and proper manner.Which means carrying out the majority wishes of a democratic vote.NOT placing every lie,abuse and scaremongering misinterpretation as a barrier. Do that and the public will protest
Unprecedented threats to the voting public by MP’s
Are phrases such as 'I hold you responsible for the state of the country' threats? Disillusionment, unprecedented child poverty, and uncontrollable knife crime. Perhaps the solution is for them to do their jobs. What they seem to think, is happening. People really are revolting😃
They started it 🏴🏴
Don’t believe it
Lock them in the Tower for their own protection, and then throw away the Key.!!!
As always, any threat is disgraceful but I have no sympathy whatsoever.
They are the cause, although don’t condone threats.
Not that MPs should be threatened, but if they weren't such self-righteous, arrogant, two-faced, worm-tongued pond scum, there'd be a lot less threats. If they manage to weasel their way out of delivering the majority vote in the referendum, things will get much worse.
What about the unprecedented knife attacks on the common 5..8 cresida ...or does that not concern you anymore..
Not that I'd condone such behaviour myself, but the politicians have only themselves to blame. No sympathy whatsoever
No surprise! If they did their job & didn’t treat the public with distain they might be shown more respect! ArrogantMPs
400 or so MP's threaten democracy in the UK, 17.4milion people told they are stupid, racist xenophobic bigots who should just be ignored & dictated to. I condemn the threats against MP's as strongly as I condemn their threat to UK democracy. Brexitparty for democracy in the UK.
I’m not surprised. There wouldn’t be any threats whatsoever if they just knew how to do their jobs properly. I’m a complete moderate but believe they’ve kind of brought it on themselves.
The public are not being treated to good too.
Hardly surprising when most of them are criminals
No shit Sherlock 🕵️♂️ they don’t really bring the best out in people, probably because they all keep telling whopping great lies!
Must be a reason 🤔
I dont agree in threats but people are really pissed off with all of them and this encourages the nutters to come out
Loving the assumption on here that this all coming from the far right! It also comes from the far left. Let's not forget that both 'sides' can be equally dangerous.
When our MPs continually lie and then call us racists and xenophobes for merely wanting a democratic plebecit enacting what do they expect? If they acted democratically, honourable and honestly then they wouldn't be enraging so many people
Shouldn't the Met chief do something about it?
MPs C Dick or C Dick MPs ?
Some have forgotten how to be kind, forgiving and respectful of differences. This needs to change.
Well the police do let people attack people campaigning to become MEPs
MP’s although shouldn’t have to suffer threats their complete incompetence is at unprecedented levels. Message to MP’s your a disgrace not the public.
Corruption, incompetence and contempt for the public among MPs is also at unprecedented levels.
When MPs, such as David Lammy and Chuka Ummuna, use inflammatory rhetoric, scurrilously branding political opponents Nazis and dangerous xenophobes, it's hardly surprising.
But at least none of them have been attacked with a milkshake & had that crime having been ignored by the police eh?
Have heard it referred to as ‘Faragism’ A side effect of Brexit rhetoric. It’s not on.
Can’t for a moment think why....
The same MPs who abuse and bully the working class on a daily basis? I can't condone it, but it is hardly surprising. The working class are hurting whilst our elected uberclass live in opulence in their high castles. Maybe they should bring back the stocks for the plebs.
Ill bet they dont understand the spike in 2016 until now .
RT : Threats to MPs at 'unprecedented' levels, says Met chief What about treats? All paid luxury family holidays?
💭 May is a Crook and a Criminal and should be arrested and put on trial
Wonder why that would be ?
Only from Leave voters.
And, if true, why would that be?
Absolutely appalling, no excuse for behaviour like this.
Hardly surprising.
They have only fetched it upon themselves.
