Seems the champagne socialists are scared of facing the truth, and the possibility they are not wanted by the people of Britain
Labour leadership hopeful Angela Eagle has had to cancel a meeting on Tuesday because of the level of abuse she is receiving after she announced she would challenge Jeremy Corbyn.
The MP for Wallasey's constituency office, which is based in Merseyside, was found damaged on Tuesday morning after a brick was thrown at one of the windows.
The staff at Eagle's office also told the Liverpool ECHO that they had stopped answering the phone due to the level of abuse they had been receiving.
Helen Osgood, a senior caseworker at Angela Eagle's office, said "I've spoken to Angela and she's also had threats and intimidation. She was supposed to go to a meeting in Luton today but the hotel managers had [received] threats all night so the meeting hasn't been able to go ahead."
“The level of abuse is disgraceful and we have asked the police to look into it," local councillor Bernie Mooney added.
“All I’ve been told is they have put the windows through," Eagle told the ECHO, "I just got the message and I’m going there now.”
Take a look at the damage to the window:

Eagle's staff also confirmed to Sky News that she was due to attend a meeting at the Leaside Hotel in Luton however it had to be cancelled due to abuse hotel staff had received overnight.
This comes just hours after the former shadow Business Secretary announced that she would be launching a bid to replace the under-pressure Jeremy Corbyn as the leader of the Labour Party.
The vast majority of Labour MPs voted for a motion of no confidence against the Labour leader last month and dozens have resigned from his shadow cabinet in protest against his leadership.
In a statement, Corbyn said he "utterly condemns" the abuse received be Eagle and claimed that he had recently received death threats. He said:
"It is extremely concerning that Angela Eagle has been the victim of a threatening act and that other MPs are receiving abuse and threats. As someone who has also received death threats this week and previously, I am calling on all Labour Party members and supporters to act with calm and treat each other with respect and dignity, even where there is disagreement. I utterly condemn any violence of threats, which undermine the democracy within our party and have no place in our politics."
Just last week, Labour Party PR officer Kevin McKeever received a chilling note warning him that his "treachery" had been noted and he would be "coxed" — a reference to the recent murder of MP Joe Cox. It is believed that the mention of "treachery" related to the recent coup against Corbyn.
The Merseyside Police published the following statement:
“Merseyside Police can confirm they were called to premises in Manor Road, Wallasey, today, Tuesday 12 July, following reports of criminal damage. It is believed that between 5pm last night (Monday) and 9am today, damage was caused to the front ground floor window of an office.The incident was reported to Merseyside Police at 9.55am today. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.”
I wonder where tommy tainted was during all this, would it be the right thing to do if I reported him as a suspect to Merseyside police ?
