More interesting views from BBC political staff.
Honestly, if every UKIP voter were just to disappear forever or DIE, the world would be a happier place.
To me the word "UKIP" sounds like a dog being sick. Like their policies!
UKIP are awful, really terrible, I can't wait until this darned election is over so we can all be rid of them on our screens/airwaves!

    The rest of her tweets don't exactly inspire confidence. I guess it's a good lesson in watching what you do online.
    Please no I said sorry, I'm begging you RT @UKBusinessLabs Your TV licence pays for people like @itsallmimimimi Let's make her famous.

    Funny how many people resort to tantrums and name calling when things aren't going their way.

    I wonder if it's a spoof account pretending to be someone, to create a fuss ?

    Seems strange to me

    It's a spoof account. Be interesting to see who is really behind it. But twitter is totally anon?

    It was Guidobait and he swallowed it.:D

    Funny how UKIPers get all upset when anyone says the slightest thing about them, yet think they have a license to say what they like.

    'Apologies for my previous deleted tweet on UKIP. The use of the phrase "drowned in acid" was inappropriate as a BBC employee and I regret it'

    That one was nasty too.

    I believe she said something about them drowning in Acid too. Some of her tweets reference a deleted tweet to that extent anyway.

    If it is, it's a bit of a long game since some of the older tweets are quite old. Not a brand new account.

    Some of the latest tweets do seem to stretch reality a bit.

    "Honestly, if every UKIP voter were just to disappear forever or DIE, the world would be a happier place."

    To be fair, I'm not sure how you interpret that as saying that they SHOULD die.

    Still a stupid thing to say, though.

    The fact that 'die' was in capital letters says enough.

    It really does, the use of capitals there is enforcing the word otherwise what was the reason for doing it?

    Well whoever it was the results indicate there are an awful lot of people who need to just die. Might be easier if the author fell on their sword.

    I learned the hard way a long time ago not to read into something that is not stated.

    It would only be bias if it occurred in official BBC output of course!

    "Mimi Kempton-Stewart" does show up all over the internet making various trolling comments.

    I don't think she's real.

    That's not true. BBC guidelines on social media also cover tweets by BBC news people made in a private capacity ie on personal facebook/twitter accounts
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/14_07_11_news_social_media_guidance.pdf

    d. You shouldn't state your political preferences or say anything that
    compromises your impartiality. Don't sound off about things in an openly
    partisan way.

    Fair enough. I was just giving my own opinion of what would constitute BBC bias.

    Anything a BBC employee or contractor says whether as part of their job or not is proof of left wing bias
