Not even a little bit. I can only assume she has not had him properly vetted. She seems to think that his crimes begin and end with the antisemitic stuff; if only that were true.
The truth is, I am one of many dozens - perhaps hundreds - of victims of this man and his vile, hateful, demented cyberterrorism. And that’s what it was - he literally terrorised people. For years. Including underage kids.
long before he started on Luciana Berger, JBP was operating hundreds of fake profiles on Twitter, including cloning accounts of those he was harassing, and using them for just about every cyber crime you can think of. He stalked people, he harassed people, he doxxed people, he made repeated despicable false allegations of child abuse that got at least one person beaten up. He made posters accusing people of it and posted them in their home towns. He sent death threats, including ones of a cannibalistic nature. People think this was all about antisemitism because that’s all the press really reported from his trial, but make no mistake:
JBP was not ‘radicalised’; he is a stone cold sociopath. And he will do it again. Because sociopaths enjoy being sociopathic. That’s clear in his mealy mouthed apology, which doesn’t even mention Ms Berger by name, let alone any of the hundreds of others whose lives he made Hell for years on end. I still have emails from his local nick saying they were disgusted at the CPS not taking him off the street sooner.
If Badenoch doesn’t remove him quickly, she will absolutely come to regret it because he destroys everything he touches. I don’t believe in a concept of inherent evil, but if I did, it would look like JBP.
