This morning someone attempted to post Sara Gibb's address in these replies...all because she told a joke about Corbyn. After which she was lied about, abused, harrassed, received antisemitic & misogynistic comments. 100's of tweets, all Corbyn supporters.
After she was bullied off Twitter, as she couldn't take the abuse anymore, she was called a coward for locking her account, then people started going to her blog to write comments, emails, attempts at doxxing. She's absolutely terrified.
All 'cos she told a joke about Corbyn.
All 'cos she told a joke about Corbyn.
Examples of what happened yesterday: one of them made up a story that Sara has done a theatre show and been abusive to People of Colour while she was there (she's never done a theatre show), then the person admitted they'd made it up, basically because she deserved it. 
She was called a silly bitch, a hag, terrible revolting disgusting person, told to shut the fuck up, live on a leper colony, another Katie Hopkins, unfunny talentless grifter, coward, delusional, whiny, malicious, poisonous liar, an unfunny sack of shit, a witless twat etc...
The ones who think they're smart justified their obsessive rage because she'd written a few jokes for Have I Got News For You that was once presented by Boris Johnson... when she was 15. Called a Tory campaigner, in cahoots with the gov etc...
One guy @'ed her like 10 times, called her revolting etc... so she blocked him. Then he tweeted to his followers that he'd only politely disagreed with her but was blocked because she doesn't like "uppity" working class people but is happy to take their money.
Some started tweeting Nish Kumar because she'd written a few jokes for a TV show he presents.
One of them even @'ed Dara O' Briain...

After she locked her account someone went to a blog she'd written about antisemitism over a year ago so they could comment on the joke.
Then someone set up an email account and sent her a three page diatribe, much of it about Israel and Palestine. .. because of the joke.
And then of course the unashamed left antisemites joined in.
To finish off, at 6:15 this morning someone attempted to post her address... because *and I can't emphasise this enough* she told a joke about Corbyn.
And what was the joke? What had she done to deserve the above?
And what was the joke? What had she done to deserve the above?
One of Corbyn's closest aides, Andrew Murray, speculated that Corbyn had a blindspot to antisemitism because Jews are "prosperous". Sara, a Jew, had the tumerity to make a joke about what Murray *himself* had said. A point that everyone involved tried oh-so-hard not to understand
And that's of course forgetting that Sara is probably one the 80%+ of her community who - for the very valid reasons - believes that Corbyn personally has a problem with Jews. (But let's not allow reams of actual evidence to get in the way here).
Every single person who took part in this contributed to the vilification and bullying of Jewish woman for daring to echo what most Jews actually think. A bunch of thugs, and bullies who think they can police what Jews can and can't say about their oppression, never occurring to
... them that they are playing a huge & very public role in said oppression. And to cap it off, in a stunning display of unintentional irony, as if to echo exactly what Murray said about Corbyn, they tell us we're "punching down" when we make jokes about it.
There's a large whiff of vengeance in the air since the election and obviously Jewish people are bearing the brunt of it. Always going happen and always going to be the women who got it worse.
Anyway, Sara is obviously not in a great place...

... so if you have nice things to say about her, tweet or let me know and I'll pass it on, she could probably do with hearing it.
NB: And to the people derided Jews who talked of existential threats and laughed at those who said what was going on made them want to leave the country... what happened to Sara yesterday is exactly what they were talking about.
