Be careful before you comment on this.

An old dear contacted her MP regarding her radio times, the cwu jumped on it and then all the twitter trolls jumped on it and started to give it to the MP.

It's an old dear, and the MP was just contacting RM for info for her constituents, nothing to go over the top about but hey, it is social media.

I remember ‘The Goodies’ on tv, and one of them lamenting the demise of comic books, saying (if I remember right)
‘In my day, it was The Beano and Dandy. Now it’s ‘Porno’ and ‘Randy’ !!!
