Labour Party member in vile online attack on ex Prime Minister!
A hardline Larbour Party member and long time Labour campaigner was yesterday exposed on an online forum for body shaming ex Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The unnecessary comment caused outrage amongst other social media users with many criticising the comment and condoning the personal attack on Mr Johnson.
For those people that are unfamiliar with body shaming, it is when an individual refers to another's body features, usually when the other individual is overweight or underweight. It is a form of bullying. Recently, body shaming has seen a significant rise through online trolling and can lead to serious issues such as emotional and mental health problems. In some cases severe anorexia.
The Labour Party member when questioned by other social media users, refused to apologise for his actions, instead trying to justify his comments with comparisons to other comments from other social media uses.
With the recent increase of abusive comments in the run up to this election, it is hope that all abuse is eliminated from campaigns.
So far Sir Keir Starmer has yet to comment on the incident, but with his hard line stance towards Party members, we will have to wait and see if the individual is removed from the Party membership or voluntarily exits the Larbour Party.
