Via the Independent:
A Labour Senator has said that she fears for her life after receiving online death threats and abuse for the third time this year.

Senator Lorraine Higgins has been told by an anonymous online abuser in an email that she will be shot and that they would like “nothing better than to fill a rat’s mouth with lead.”

“im (sic) going to blow your big f*****g jew nose right off. you have much bigger problems on the way than sinn féin.”
