I remember when she was told that people struggled to buy cheese for sandwiches her response was well don’t have cheese sandwiches. Sorry, not sorry. Move on.

The police telling people not to discuss their thoughts on social media is just as alarming as her death .

330 thousand uk austerity deaths. A needless, ideologically driven Austerity cheered on by Anne. Millions of people sent to foodbanks. Cheered on by Anne. Millions more terrorised, with threats of sanctions or imprisionment, just for having the cheek of being within 60 miles of the benefits system, cheered on by Anne.

None of it worked to create growth, cut the deficit.

It was just out and out class war, every day...on the poor, sick and unemployed.

And you want us to show her class? Give her grace?

She had none for us.

Why is it when the perpetrator is white the police and media readily state their ethnicity, yet when they aren’t white they don’t state ethnicity?

Imagine if it had been a person of colour or an immigrant, we would have been hearing Farage and Tiny Tommy calling for RAGE, although we won't hear anything, as he's white!! Having said that, I didn't like her politics, but I certainly wouldn't wish this disgusting act to happen to anyone, my condolences to her family and friends.

Rest in peace Ann ❤

Did not care for much of her views but this is disgusting.
@
What we thought of her political views, she didn't deserve this
@
They said “white British man” so fast. If it wasn’t they would’ve kept that quiet.
@
Dont care about her politics, she was a 78 year old lady who did not deserve her life to be taken and in this awful way. So sad.😢
@
She wasn't my cup of tea, but this is really tragic - thoughts with her family
@
What a horrible end, to have lived a life without kindness, compassion nor empathy.
@
Terrible news. There is always one coward to beat an elderly lady to death.
@
Never liked her politics, but to die like that..horrendous.
