Rejected petition Stewart Jackson should apologise

More details

MP Stewart Jackson described those not mourning Margaret Thatcher's death as "unemployable dross" and "social misfit bottom feeding scum" in a Twitter post to Nadine Dorres. This is a gross and sweeping generalisation and contradicts the principles of free speech. Jackson should apologise.
