Twitter “troll” Peter Nunn has been found guilty of tweeting insults and rape threats at English Labour Party MP, Stella Creasy- saying “Best way to rape a witch, try and drown her first then just when she’s gagging for air that’s when you enter.” Additionally, Nunn posted, “If you can’t threaten to rape a celebrity, what is the point in having them?” As this bombardment of twitter hate was the result of Creasy’s involvement in a proposal to put a woman other than the Queen on a bank note, we discuss the deep and disturbing connections between internet trolls and misogyny in this excerpt from the Crime Time episode with Isla Traquair and Laura Richards.
