LILY ALLEN HAS temporarily handed over control of her Twitter account after she was subjected to “the most disgusting, sexist, misogynistic, racist shit”.
The row stemmed from tweets Allen sent in which she said she replaced the words ‘immigrant’ or ‘Muslim’ with ‘pensioner’ in order to make a point about prejudice.
