Logged out: Joan Burton says she has stopped using social media because of the abuse she received




Joan Burton has said that she was forced to come off social media over the abuse she and other female politicians have received.

It’s reported that she has to have people review her posts before she reads them herself and that the likes of the word c*nt and b*tch shouldn’t be part of a politician’s everyday life.

The former Tanaiste is said to have endured most abuse during the 2014 water protests.
