    She is not in the threat of jail though, just there’s a possibility of losing some money.

    Feels like she is trying to play a victim and implying that freedom of speech is under attack and people are jailed for opinions, when in reality it is about hurting someone.

      Her tweet was in response to an anti-hate law (Hate Crime and Public Order Act) this year, where you could spend up to 7 years in prison for example, communicating in a way “that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive.” So, if charged in Scotland, she could go to prison.

      Though she’s rich, so probably not.
