Send her to jail. What did she think she was doing? Having no way of validating these lies she thought, “yeah I’ll just stir up some shit and get back to owning a dog”. Fucking idiot.

She owns a dog. Utter degenerate, lock her up.
What a really pointless detail. Is this journalism now, are we going to report on the pets of all suspects?

I think you’re missing the point, they’re pointing out a woman with a VERY comfortable life made up a racist lie to demonise those less fortunate than herself.
The details about the dog and the house are being used to highlight her selfishness and privilege.
A common line these morons use is that foreigners or immigrants are taking resources from people who need them, but she clearly doesn’t need them, she’s just a bigot.

“I think you’re missing the point, they’re pointing out a woman with a VERY comfortable life made up a racist lie to demonise those less fortunate than herself.”
I wonder when her best selling children’s fantasy book is going to drop?🤔

In the absence of irrelevant descriptors, many people struggle to remember that fascists can seem quite normal in other respects. Giving a few details helps them to imagine the woman. In turn this can quell fallacies that attach to ideas about “respectable” or “nice”.
That doesn’t matter with regard to this woman as her behaviour is now a matter for the courts, but reminds Times readers that the terror threat doesn’t come solely from disaffected louts hopped up on larger & sun exposure (& who may be quite partial to kicking off violently anyhow).
I’d think that in the absence of much to go on about her, they lifted stuff from her Twitter bio.
