Her tweets appear to be those of a very angry person, Aren't they all?

I struggle to see why that twitter joke is a sackable offence. I note that the report says "His personal Facebook account was also linked to various other EDL posts", and we don't know what was in those posts, but IMO that sort of post should have been dealt with by an apology and some contrition. Having said that, I could be convinced that sharing anything from the EDL could itself make the situation much more serious.
Edit: It also isnt made clear whether he was offered the chance to apologise and refused.

More likely that the Tories realised that Labour disposed of him for good reason and are engaged in damage prevention

True. But an unfortunate side-effect of that would be that it reinforces the impression that "You can't say anything about Muslims these days", which is food for the hard-right.

Long Term? Large sections of the non-working class parts of Bristol.

There was a Lib Dem councillor in Dudley some years back, St James ward I think, who defected to UKIP
