Out of a morbid curiosity I tried to read through her whole series of mock-biblical tweets. Couldn't make it. It was like watching a stand-up routine where the comedian is bombing, but insists on drawing out an unfunny and offensive joke to interminable length, not noticing - or not caring about - the jeers and groans in the audience. Really cringe-inducing attempt at political satire, even apart from the reactionary premise. In other words, perfect Guardian material.
