Some political activist scum. They hung condoms from a cross , sprayed ‘posh scum’ and ‘politics death’

This is politics now.

Vandalism, harassment and hate directed at anyone and their family is abhorrent and perpetrators should be persued and given exemplary long sentences. I wouldn’t think anyone would have a problem with that. It’s terrorism plain and simple. The sort of action that led to Jo Cox,s murder and has led to certain public figures having to have police protection.

No, of course it doesn’t. Just thought it might be something more than plain politics.

Why would that give them the right to vandalise his property? One part of the graffiti said he should "shut up and die".

Or someone might feel strongly about the number of children he’s bringing into the world. People with environmental concerns?

JRM's house has been attacked by vandals with offensive graffiti sprayed on windows and his wife's car. Condoms and a sex toy were also scattered around. Whilst this could be classed as minor damage it worries me that his property was attacked simply because of his political views. (I would feel the same if the attack was on someone from the other side of the political divide)

Surprisingly this attack on a sitting MPs property has not been reported on local BBC radio station and was only given around 30 seconds on local BBC TV news.
