Imelda calls in cops over daily hate mail hell...

Singer faces ‘scary’ backlash over poetry

- KATIE GALLAGHER

IMELDA May revealed she has had to go to the police due to the level of nasty messages she receives daily following her poem You Don’t Get To Be Racist And Irish.

She released her debut poetry EP Slip of the Tongue last year, which tackled various issues including racism.

The Dubliner, who is currently based in the UK, revealed she has since been hit with an onslaught of “scary” backlash on social media, which has escalated so much she had to report it to the police.

However, she says, many of her “nasty” critics have never even read her work.
