Apparently, Facebook is a safe haven for people who call for the beheading of public officials

Did you accidentally miss the /s from my comment or was it deliberate? I put it there knowing that someone would think I was serious, but evidently that wasn’t enough.

So, to state the obvious.

No, I would not kill and behead an elected politician.

However, when Iain Duncan Smith was Secretary of State for Work and Pensions I had to be talked out of going to his constituency offices and killing myself in protest at his actions. It wasn’t just empty words, my housemate found me typing my suicide note/press release. Girlfriend In A Coma (She’s Fit For Work) was not just a satirical song, that shit was really going on in Britain.

If IDS had got his way I would have literally be on the streets of Carlisle, the worst place in Britain for me to be, so I do know how it feels to be desperate. I still feel desperate because of the actions of uncaring governments.

Does that answer your question?
