An MP who switched from the SNP to the Tories has spoken out about the abuse she faced, saying it was "beyond [her] wildest imagination". Dr Lisa Cameron changed parties last October and described the Nats' Westminster group as "toxic".
After her move, she received death threats, which forced her and her family to temporarily leave their home. Speaking at the Scottish Tory conference in Aberdeen on Saturday, the MP for East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow said the abuse "made [her] life a living hell".
Ahead of introducing Scots Conservative leader Douglas Ross, Dr Cameron said: "I knew that leaving the SNP would mean that I would become a target for the very, very worst of nationalism. But the bile and the vile threats that I received were beyond even my wildest imagination.
"Rather than engaging in the substance of the issues, nationalist trolls resorted to bullying and I'm sure very many of you here today have experienced this too."
Dr Cameron also criticised her former party's leaders, claiming they have "turned a blind eye" to abuse, or even "seemed complicit in it". She said: "Those who do not conform to nationalist orthodoxy in Scotland or try to challenge those who are in power are dismissed, they're degraded and they're shouted down in public."
"Whilst in private, shadowy figures and anonymous accounts have used social media to harass and menace people, to bully them. So let me say to my former party, political arguments should never be made through intimidation.
"We all have a real responsibility I feel to stand up in Scotland and across the UK, particularly to those nationalists who seek to undermine our democracy through bullying, no matter our political colours we must stand united and we must challenge this."

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Deadpool” star Karan Soni (Dopinder) told Variety this week that a ton of surprise cameos were filmed for the upcoming third installment, “Deadpool and Wolverine,” adding: “Let’s just say a lot of people traveled to London [for filming].” One actor who apparently did not make it to London was Vinnie Jones, who debuted as Juggernaut in “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Jones recently told Yahoo Movies UK that he turned down a request to reprise the character in “Deadpool and Wolverine” because getting in his Juggernaut suit isn’t the best experience. “Funnily enough I just got asked to do ‘Deadpool,’ the new one now, and I spoke to the director and I just said it’s such a drama putting that suit on mentally and physically,” Jones said. “I mean it had its mental toll as well because you’re in it and you can’t do anything all day, you can only drink through a straw.

Ja Rule did in the wake of the Fyre Festival, he also felt “hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray.”An actor hired to work at the recent, disastrous Willy Wonka-themed event in Scotland feels his golden ticket was a scam.Paul Connell, who played the part of Wonka at “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” at the Box Hub Warehouse in Glasgow, said the viral event was an “absolute mess” and one of the “most embarrassing things” he’s ever seen, South West News Service reported.The calamity, which cost $45 a person, promised guests a “journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises” — but instead ended with kids in tears and furious parents.Guests arrived on Saturday, Feb. 24, to a “dirty,” near-empty warehouse — which Connell further described as a “health and safety nightmare” — with a printed AI background, a sad bouncy castle and lackluster props.There was also virtually no candy at the “Chocolate Experience,” and Connell said he was told to give kids one single jelly bean each and a quarter of a glass of lemonade upon arrival.Red-headed Connell admitted that an immediate “red flag” came when he was asked to portray Willy Wonka, rather than an Oompa Loompa — which he felt he better resembled.“The first red flag for me was when I was cast as Willy Wonka.
