Journalists often finding themselves receiving criticism and offering a viewpoint with which not everyone agrees. But today Una Mulally tweeted out some hate mail that she received from a 'No voter' that crossed the line.
As is the nature of opinions, everyone is entitled to one, although that can be questioned at times, like in this instance.
More hate mail from No voters today. My cancer is the will of God for campaigning for equality, apparently. pic.twitter.com/yFseggqBUq

I don't give a damn if some bigot hates me, but next time a No campaigner talks about being "bullied", this is what I'm putting up with.

That's not even the worst letter I've received - there's other stuff I wouldn't even put on Twitter because it's so disgusting.

Wretched doesn't sum up the content of that letter, so we'd hate to see the rest of the abuse she's had to endure. Obviously the referendum is a hot issue, but whatever side of the vote you lay, nothing gives a person the right to talk to someone in this manner.
Una has decided to keep the name of the letter writer to herself which we can't imagine that we would all have the strength and capacity to do.
For those asking, yes, that person signed their name, but I would never put that online as it would be unfair. Rise above, innit. #VoteYes
