Edinburgh magazine the Skinny on the 31st May published this article www.theskinny.co.uk/sexuality/lgbt/pride-and-prejudice-what-pride-means-in-2019

It contains a piece writing by trans woman Cathy Brennan, justifying their tweets last year that advocated violence against women holding different views to their own.

The tweet they are defending in this article stated

"Any trans allies at #PrideLondon right now need to step the fuckup and take out the terf trash. Get in their faces.Make them afraid. Debate never works so fuck them up"

In the article they state

"In 2018, transphobic group Get the L Out hijacked the front of the march at London Pride. Organisers and police (who were also part of the march) did nothing. I received much criticism for demanding violent action against these TERFs. By 'criticism' I mean that I was stalked for several months on Twitter by someone purportedly from Edinburgh. The goal of Get the L Out was to make trans people unwelcome at an event where they should have felt safe. In my opinion their actions already constitute a form of violence with long-lasting implications."

Can’t the paper be sued for publishing an article that incites violence?
