His local MP, Louise Mensch apparently tweeted 'It is for Parliament to investigate actions here'. Talk about missing the point! This man was convicted because he fell foul of the nannying, micromanaging, politically correct, busy-body society that Parliament has allowed and facilitated to evolve. We need less political interference in our lives if we are to stop absurd prosecutions like this one.
- mathieuh 14y agoAh, The Mensch. A foul beast if ever I've seen one. I can remember her flying off the handle and saying she was going to send the police to a fifteen-year-old's house for something he tweeted at her.
- gadders 14y agoPresumably her tolerance for idiots on twitter has been lowered somewhat due to the man that threatened to kill her children.
- Zenst 14y agoShe is a reactionary showboater who will hype anything for a chance to get a face out there. I think she is a dispicable person. Who else when they get a tweet about some known person who makes silly tweets. Does she call the police to have a word with him, no she tweets come on in effect. I don't like her and she optimises all the worst in politicians. She even set up her own tweet riip off, so for her to lambast twitter is purely alteria motives. So in effect it is her showboating that casued this mess with her doing her rabble rabble in parliment.

- jgrahamc 14y agoHer actual tweets read: CPS owe my constituent @pauljchambers and the country a huge apology for a shameful prosecution that should never have been brought Two years of a man's life, stress and massive public costs wasted over an obvious joke. It is for Parliament to investigate actions here. Whether it is the Justice or Home Affairs Select Cttee, the CPS and this decision should be investigated on Parlt return #twitterjoketrial I think she's asking that parliament look into why the CPS ever brought this to trial in the first place.
