Ann Widdecombe has possibly been murdered, and @SkyNews thinks it’s appropriate to have a man discussing whether she was a virgin.
Why would whether a woman had ever had penetrative sex be relevant to her possible murder?
He then went on to speculate, on mainstream media, that it was a robbery gone wrong rather than politically motivated. That may ultimately prove to be the case, but speculation about motive before the facts are established has no place in responsible news coverage.
The first instinct when discussing a woman who may have been murdered should never be to reduce her to her sexual history. Ann Widdecombe deserved better. Every woman deserves better.
I’ve seen so many grim posts today, often from people with pronouns in bio. But several ‘mainstream’ commentators have said depraved things to.
One of those days when you realise you’re surrounded by monsters with zero moral compass. How were they raised?
RIP Ann.
@SkyNews ..
A complaint !
@adamboultonTABB ‘s report on the death of Ann Widdicombe today ..
has to be one of the most crass, disrespectful reports I’ve heard on anyone in politics ..
The fact this is also a Police investigation makes it even worse.
To repeat personal stories about her; and using phraseology such as an ‘ old maid’
and more ..
She was a very clever, intellectual, conviction politician who had more decency in her than most people I’ve ever met.
She was kind and thoughtful and would never hold a grudge with anyone when differing views were held ..
This is an outrageous slur on her character and reputation..
and I hope you’re damn well sacked !!
You are a disgusting, conceited, condescending, morbidly obese misogynist who was horrible to a great woman who had just been murdered.
Why has @SkyNews not fired you?
People talk about the political division between factions in the west.
Yeah, good, there should be a division, actually.
Our enemies will celebrate the rape, death and torture of their opponents.
They are the evil cancer of our society.
We shouldn’t tolerate them.
I’m sorry @ThatAlexWoman you clearly do not know what’s going on. I was involved in the discussion as to whether or not Restore Britain should stand in Clacton, and there was no collusion. None. It was an entirely independent decision.
When people with public reach make claims of collusion, implying you have inside knowledge as you are doing, when you do not, you are misinforming and therefore harming British democracy.
He went on Rogan, to an audience of millions around the world and said our next PM, Andy Burnham, is heavily complicit and at the centre of the rape gang cover up. Thats is the worst possible start to Burnhams premiership. No wonder Sky & the BBC immediately hit back on his error about Dunblane. Don’t let anyone tell you Lowe is only in this to spite Farage
