DAVID WARD: Careful ... That mug he's holding may be a 'weapon of mass destruction'!

Some old guy in UK politics tweets, expressing his opinion or his emotions on some trivial communications medium -- and political opportunists immediately jump on this to grandstand about a supposed 'incitement to violence'.
Oh, let's behave as if this puny old man or his twitter followers are armed to the teeth and represent a 'terrorist' threat, while we all deny who is being terrorised at present.

This will be the second disciplinary probe that Mr. Ward faces. He was temporarily suspended by the party in July last year after he called Israel an ‘apartheid state’ and refused to apologize.

Hello? Doesn't this give anybody the creeps?
Ward is being attacked, punished and silenced for expressing his dissenting political opinion.
