Yvette Cooper receives death threats against her children over EU stance

[General General]

Labour MP Yvette Cooper has received a message from someone threatening to kill her children over her stance on the EU referendum.

The MP, who is campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU, received a tweet which read: “Hello, Yvette I have received your Stronger In propaganda e-mails 5 times please stop or I will kill your kids and grandkids”.

Ms Cooper retweeted the threat, writing “Got this today for speaking out for Remain… This has got to stop”.
She said she had reported the incident to the police and to Twitter, and the user’s account has been suspended.

The threat comes amid increased security for UK MPs after the killing of Ms Cooper’s colleague Jo Cox, who died after being shot and stabbed in an attack in Birstall in West Yorkshire last week. Brendan Cox said his wife was killed because of her "very strong political views".

Ms Cooper also represents a West Yorkshire constituency.
Along with Ms Cox, Ms Cooper has actively supported welcoming child refugees to Britain from Europe. She was also part of a group of MPs that launched an online consultation on abuse aimed at women on social media.

Yep, the intolerant right-wing Neo-Nazi terrorists are now going to hand out death threats and even murder politicians with certain affiliations. These terrorists have the audacity to lecture others about freedom, yet here they are snatching those freedoms by force and violent attacks. They hate entire civilizations and religions because they think they are superior. They kill just because they are opposed to views and ideas. They justify their heinous murders by blaming their misfortunes and shortcomings on others yet don't have the guts to look in the mirror. There is no difference between ISIS and right wing extremists. All are part of a similar hateful and murderous ideology.
