Corby Conservative MP Louise Mensch has never been backward in stating her mind since obtaining the seat in the 2010 General Election. For an MP who is serving the people and trying to achieve the best for her constituent and the electorate surely this is an advantage. Therefore being prominent and forthright, you should be prepared to have an obvious backlash against you. The question is how far should this go?
The problem now is that it is too easy for the "public" to contact and be interactive with their MPs via social media. This is good of course, they are serving the people and they should always be able to contact them. Where the line should come though is the idiotic side of the population, who seemingly are able to use a computer or mobile phone, despite the obvious lack of any intellectual matter in their brains.
Since Mrs Mensch dared to suggest support for our old friend Rupert Murdoch, there has been an outrageous and totally repulsive tirade of abuse via Twitter. This is freedom of speech they would say, but so damn well is Mrs Mensch's. If she should state an opinion regarding the report that her and her colleagues have been working on then so be it. Opinions and decisions are there to be made and it is for no one to be repulsive about those in the manner that certain idiots have done.
In all honesty, A Small Mind's pencil in the voting booth is as far away as possible from the Conservative candidate, so I would be the last to defend a Tories stance, but those who have responded, and their comments favourited by Louise Mensch on her Twitter account are the lowest of the low and as far from any true positions of responsibility that they are not really on this planet.
