@Mativenko80 I thought it was a bit silly @EmilyThornberry having to resign over her tweet. The Medway towns are BNP/UKIP territory.

The Medway towns classic BNP/UKIP territory so what is the big deal about @EmilyThornberry tweeting a photo of it to sneer at these people?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
It is pretty clear that @EmilyThornberry knew Labour didn't stand a chance in Rochester & Strood so what is the big deal?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
Am I the only person not consumed by hatred of politicians that I think it is CRAZY that @EmilyThornberry had to resign because of a tweet??
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
Haha. @UKIP leaflet looks like BNP leaflet. @SuzanneEvans1

@R_de_Gerber I agree with @DAaronovitch about absurd over-reaction over @EmilyThornberry's tweet. Politicians actually need more free speech
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
What an absurd and melodramatic over-reaction to Emily Thornberry’s tweet. People need to get a grip.

@MichaelLeam Balls, she was. She’s resigned because her leader is panicking.
— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) November 20, 2014
@DAaronovitch @MichaelLeam Medway towns classic BNP territory. @EmilyThornberry mocked a BNP-esque householder as someone like her would.

@3AsiaBibi I think you’ll find that was also quite a lot of working class white people looking down on other w/c white people.
— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) November 20, 2014
@DAaronovitch @3AsiaBibi It is CRAZY that an MP had to resign over a tweet like that. It is actually DANGEROUS they have no free speech.

'It's quite a big moment - she's been forced out'. John Mann MP on Emily Thornberry #r4today
— Jamie Angus (@grvlx001) November 21, 2014
@BBCr4today @JohnMannMP @EmilyThornberry I would argue that MPs ought to have more free speech and snobbery is not a resigning matter.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@realbritainros @tom_watson MPs need their free speech to function properly. @EmilyThornberry

Does this man look like the typical NF supporter to you? http://t.co/qDuzkoJevj

Is there a single Englishman in Britain who will defend the principle of free speech? Clearly not. http://t.co/qDuzkoJevj @EmilyThornberry
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@grvlx001 Is there anyone else apart from me n @DAaronovitch prepared to defend @EmilyThornberry's right to tweet snobbishly and derisively?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@grvlx001 It is certainly a big bad BLACK moment when an MP is forced to resign for tweeting snobbishly. @EmilyThornberry @Ed_Miliband
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@grvlx001 Clear @Ed_Miliband doesn't understand 1st thing about free speech and will not protect any Labour MP or stand up for any principle
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@grvlx001 By sacking @EmilyThornberry @Ed_Miliband has made it clear that he is unfit not only to be PM but also leader of HM Opposition.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@BBCr4today had @JohnMannMP on as well as @SimonDanczuk to about the @EmilyThornberry tweet? Fine sense of proportion.
— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) November 21, 2014
@DAaronovitch @R_de_Gerber Social and political instinct. @EmilyThornberry
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@MichaelLeam She mocked no-one’s race or gender. Just the white van cliche.
— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) November 20, 2014
@DAaronovitch @3AsiaBibi HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. That would be expecting a known BNP supporter to wave the black Islamic caliphate flag.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@EmilyThornberry I, a UKIP supporter, would defend to the DEATH your right to be snobbish about UKIP supporters! http://t.co/JdLBf37zeZ

@nickdmorris @grvlx001 @Ed_Miliband Just saying that no politician should be FORCED TO RESIGN OVER BEING SNOBBISH AND DERISIVE.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@nickdmorris @grvlx001 @Ed_Miliband Unlike u and others who cannot see a principle or get his shit together to defend it, the answer is NO.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@nickdmorris @grvlx001 @Ed_Miliband To cause offence to supporters of your political rivals SHOULD NOT BE A RESIGNING MATTER.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@nickdmorris @grvlx001 @Ed_Miliband We all know what people who hang union jacks and St George flags in their windows really mean, don't we?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@nickdmorris @grvlx001 Does sacking of @EmilyThornberry by @Ed_Miliband mean he is going to rehabilitate Lord Glasman? @HelenGoodmanMP
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@Tommy_Elkins Perhaps @EmilyThornberry should have tweeted "How do u think this householder will vote?" and been overwhelmed by the response
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@ntfem If you take a look at some of her other photos you can see she meant no harm by it. I think it was taken in the wrong context

@Tommy_Elkins @EmilyThornberry The whole sorry affair has simply exposed @Ed_Miliband 4 being the unprincipled loser he is. HE should resign
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@Tommy_Elkins It was clear @EmilyThornberry was tweeting from a constituency everyone acknowledged was hopeless for Labour. @HackneyAbbott
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@Tommy_Elkins @EmilyThornberry @HackneyAbbott I am just aghast at the incompetence, cowardice and hypocrisy of @Ed_Miliband.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) November 21, 2014
@Tommy_Elkins @EmilyThornberry @HackneyAbbott Why punish someone for lighting a match to smoke a cigarette when your house has burnt down?
