Can't believe someone be so cruel to do this.
Why would you celebrate the death of the Queen.

What is the saying? Today's news is tomorrow's chip wrapping.
However, I doubt she'll be wrapping anything up any more as I can't imagine that she'll have a business left.

Well the many signs in her window demonstrate that she's a fully paid up member of the tinfoil hat brigade, she's put herself out of business and will now have to move far away and hope not to be recognised in future.

Stupid woman.

Yeah, it's no wonder the shop got battered.

It wasn’t the time or the plaice

Hope her customers vote with their feet

She shouldn't receive threats, or have her windows smashed. If people don't like it they should just stop buying her fish & chips.

A local shop had masses of crazy conspiracy nonsense in their windows throughout the covid lockdowns. I just stopped shopping there.

No they can't. Criminal damage is illegal.

See my earlier response, to somebody saying the same as you.

Well, she can say what she wants really can't she, free speech and all that.

But it's not exactly great business acumen is it? As she is learning now!

I've seen it. I questioned your apparent assertion that illegal behaviour is OK if you don't get caught.

The "lizard Liz" strongly suggests someone under the spell of qanon type conspiracy theories. So hard of thinking or vulnerable mental health.

David Icke. According to him the Queen, George W. Bush, Boxcar Willie, amongst others...are lizards.

Oh and the moon is hollow...with specimens inside it observing us. How do they know it is hollow? Because the lunar module made an echoed clink sound (according to Apollo astronauts) when it landed on da moon.

In this instance, absolutely. Fight vulgar conduct with vulgar action.

Well she’s clearly not the brightest crayon in the box. Hard to have any sympathy.

She is lacking in intelligence and class. It is when I see stories like this. I put myself back in the comfort of the BBC's coverage, displaying dignity and respect.

Agree.

I am sure the late Queen would have strongly disapproved of violence and vandalism in the suppression of free, if undoubtedly objectionable, speech.

As my old Nan would have said "I don't think she is the full schilling".

Was your old Nan Austrian?

Looks like she has a few conspiracy theories. This isn’t really about the Queen, who she thinks is a lizard.

Also, notice on of the comments is that her shop has been smashed up again.

Looks like this is one in a long series of problems.

Meh, what did she expect? She wanted the publicity and that is the result. Maybe she should have stayed off social media, but as she can't even spell her own name she is obviously a bit of a bungalow.

"What did she expect wearing that short skirt? She wanted the attention and that is the result."

Free speech and all that.

FWR is always (correctly) saying that no one should receive threats or be the target of abusive behaviour etc for their GC views.

Why are this woman's views less worthy?

And before you come with the 'but no one should celebrate death' angle, would you have the same feelings towards someone opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate Putin if he were to die? Or is it just the deaths of people you like who are off limits?

All that conspiracy nonsense in the windows - the woman doesn’t seem well. I wouldn’t go vandalise somebody’s business because they were ranting nonsense, no matter how offensive I found it.

There is obviously a MH issue here.
Her local MSP posted on Twitter when it happened last week that she’s been the subject of an intervention in the past.
I don’t condone her behaviour and would encourage any of you to visit any business next time you’re in Muir of Ord and feel peckish, but also don’t condone vandalising her business which will surely be finished after what she did anyway.

Her conduct, however unpleasant, was not illegal. Criminal damage and vandalism is. Thank you for clarifying that you have little respect for the law.

Thank you for clarifying you have little respect for the late Queen. You are more concerned with a vile bigot. No surprises, given our previous encounters on the Tory threads. You carry on. I'm not going there with you.

Her views are gross but I support her right to state them, and her right to completely misjudge the likely outcome. I don’t condone the actions in response but they are hardly surprising.

@ilovesooty is right though. Also, respect for the queen is not a legal requirement.

She would have lost her head at one time. I am pretty sure there is an argument for hate speech with this one.

My SIL has come out with every one of those conspiracy theories that were in that window. I think she’s unwell, and this lady is too.
