If it's by accident, just don't book an appointment  with them, then turn up and shout at them.

I think the ruling is a travesty. There's free speech and there's vile insults. Scum everywhere have the right not to be labelled as Tories.

Very droll, but seriously, being rude should not be illegal.

Legally, we're allowed to slap Cruella Braverman in the face.

Braverman calls for annual cap on net migration, saying today's figures 'slap in face to British public'

Or maybe find a lawyer and find out if we're  allowed to punch her in the face...? I mean legally. You know legally legal. I might not be a lawyer, but we are allowed to be fed up with experts.
(Edited  to change the Y to an A, these days it's  not call predictive text, it's called presumptive text. :/ )

She must think that the person who was Home Secretary when those figures happened must be utterly useless.

To be fair, she was only the Home Secretary for about three and a half months of 2022. We ought to wait for the figures for 2023 before deciding what physical punishment she deserves.

I'm astounded that over 700,000 people wanted to come and live in this shithole*, to be honest.

* Clarification: by "shithole" I mean the United Kingdom, not Stockton North - or more precisely not just Stockton North.
