  The Guardian report misses out a lot of information, which is available in the linked to sentencing remarks. Here's one example: Guardian: "Throughout, Bonehill-Paine, of Yeovil, Somerset, was on bail awaiting sentence for making claims on Twitter that several people were paedophiles." In fact, it's much worse: "You are currently serving a sentence of 40 months imprisonment, imposed on 17th December 2015 for stirring up racial hatred against the Jewish community in Golders Green. " and [On] "28th October, you appeared in court at Yeovil, your home town, and pleaded guilty to six offences of sending malicious communications and an offence of harassment, all arising from false and hateful allegations against innocent members of the public that they were paedophiles. Sentence was adjourned, and your bail was renewed. " The Guardian says she got 2500 tweets. The sentencing remarks say that at its worst she got 2500 tweets in just 3 days, meaning she got more than 2500 tweets.
