I can agree that their code of conduct was broken, but still it's a storm in a teacup, a big nothing burger.
His comment was a bit inappropriate and immature, but a lot of people share his view that the full face veil looks ridiculous and doesn't have a place in Western society. There are genuine security concerns and the women who wear them aren't ever going to fully be part of society. The tradition of wearing one is one that has been created by a culture of discrimination against women by Islam.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but there is the Public Order Act 1936:
Bit of a stretch to include a burka, especially as everyone seems to ignore that fact that Islam is highly political.
I wonder, if people started having a very overt reaction to the burka in public it would be banned on accounnt of it could cause a breach of the peace. In the same way activists are banned from going near mosques on account that their presence may cause a breach of the peace.

no she didn't , she deleted it
She is certainly not very smart and extremely gullible. IMO, removed form the Labour Party, as should Boris but Boris' comments are far worse since they are intentional, and I don;t just mean this recent childish insults but a torrid history of racist and offensive material.

You're lying to yourself. Her mask slipped for a moment and we all got to see it.
Boris said "I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes."
Shah said "Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity."
Yet his comments are worse?

Exactly. The likes of D.P and Stryder just baffle me with their reasoning.Boris said "I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes."
Shah said "Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity."

I believe that law as also been used against people wearing badges too.

I don't agree with her, but i find it difficult to equate retweeting to verbal dissemination, i really don't see them as equal acts of aggressive language.
Unless of course you agree with the police focusing their efforts on clowns that spout rubbish on the likes of Twitter then?

When the Twitterer is a high ranking member of the Labour party, who on one hand feels her mother should not have been jailed for poisoning her allegedly abusive husband, and on the other supports the notion that raped English children should keep quiet to aid the diversification of Pakistani men into the British community, then yes, I would welcome police time spent on investigating her closely. It's a pity the Labour party felt such a person a suitable candidate to be not only re-admitted, but then elevated to a Secretary of State, but with Keith Vaz still unaccountable for his drug fuelled homosexual orgy with Eastern European rent boys, little surprises me about them any more.

Not technically true.
she didn't say that, she liked a tweet from a twitter parody account which said it, and then said she liked/retweeted it by mistake.
Still abhorrent, but gotta stop the fake news.
On point today Chris

To be fair all parties have had members that have had sordid sexual scandals. Only a few weeks ago a tory MP had to resign over some sex text messages.
Naz Shah, well if she did post such a tweet then she should be disciplined/chucked out of the party.

I cant believe this has blown up so much over the last few days, considering there are far more pressing matters that should be given attention, we are giving a ridiculous amount of airtime to a buffoon, over a topic which is nothing really, its around 1% of the Muslim population that wears the sodding thing.
Boris didn't "say" it either....

Yes but he actually wrote it himself.
It wasn't just something he retweeted
