Cops investigate sick GoFundMe page raising £10k for murder of Remainer Gina Miller

COPS have launched an investigation after a vile GoFundMe page was set up to pay for the murder of Remain campaigner Gina Miller.

The account, set up under the ‘name’ of Jeff Blogger, hoped to raise £10,000 to pay for a hitman to kill the businesswoman and campaigner who has taken the government to court twice over Brexit.

GoFundMe was set up as a crowdfunding platform as a way for people to raise funds for worthy causes, such as meeting hospital bills.

But the warped page has been online since April.

Mrs Miller told the Sunday Mirror: “This is horrifying. It beggars belief that this can have been allowed to have been put up on this site and stayed there for so long.”

The 54-year-old added: “There is of course no excuse for any individual to resort to inciting murder, but it shows how bad things have got.

“Certain extremist politicians and commentators must take their share of responsibility and recognise that incendiary language – and continually ratcheting up the stakes – has consequences.”

The twisted page asked for donations so £10,000 could be raised “to hire a contract killer to kill Gina Miller. The Traitor of Democracy.”

The page has since been taken down.

A GoFundMe spokesman said: “We are particularly sorry for any distress this caused Gina Miller.”

Police confirmed: “Officers from the Met’s South West CID team are currently investigating a report of threats to kill.”

It’s not the first time Mrs Miller has had death threats against her.

Rhodri Philipps was banged up for 12 weeks in 2017 after he put up a post on Facebook offering £5,000 to “the first person to ‘accidentally’” run her over.

At the time she said that dealing with death threats was “the way I live my life”.

She told Good Morning Britain recently: “I’m afraid [the abuse] carries on. It has unearthed a part of Britain that I didn’t know existed”.

She added: “I have a voice, but that voice seems to upset a lot of people.

“But I’ve never been someone to back down or to walk away from bullies… I find it’s because I’m a woman and I’m a woman of colour.”

Mrs Miller first became known after she forced parliament to vote before triggering Article 50 in a legal ruling.

She was also behind the legal action to stop Prime Minister Boris Johnson suspending Parliament for an “exceptional” length of time.
