Keyes is a stone’s throw from inciting violence

She said that no matter how nice the priest, how many raffles he organises, he is still a foot soldier for a “f*cked-up, misogynistic regime”. It’s not a pleasant idea, being pelted with stones.

How would Ms Keyes feel if this violent language was directed at herself? It reminds me of George Seawright, the DUP councillor, who called for all Catholic priests to be burned at the stake. These are sad and intolerable statements from people whose prejudice and intolerance is more important than courtesy and respect.
