“I have been getting threats of having acid thrown in my face for months and months now. When I see someone walk towards me on the street with a bottle of water or something, I just freak out,” she told news website Verdict magazine.
With the backdrop of a spate of acid attacks across the country, she said: “My life has completely changed.”
Miller spoke of her fears for her life just weeks after Rhodri Phillips, 50, the 4th Viscount St Davids, was jailed for 12 weeks for racially abusing her on social media.
Four days after she won her supreme court case against the government, Phillips offered a bounty for her to be run over. He offered “£5,000 for the first person to ‘accidentally’ run over this bloody troublesome first generation immigrant”.
He described her as a “boat jumper” adding: “If this is what we should expect from immigrants, send them back to their stinking jungles”.
In a statement to court, Miller said she felt “violated” by his remarks, which were “offensive, racist and hateful”.
But even Phillips’ three-month jail sentence has not put people off sending malicious messages and death threats, Miller said.
“I get people who send me death threats who include their name and full address on the letters. People are so bold that they just don’t hide,” she said.
