Should The Conservatives Have Reinstated This Counsellor?

[sp1814]

I am at a loss to understand how someone can accidentally post something, rather than deleting it...smacks of Alan Partridge accidentally saying ‘Yes’ to the porn channel, rather than ‘No’.

Same way as the Labour party can be riddled with anti semites spath.

Oh I once sent an insulting email about someone to the person in question - actually I have done it twice
Doh

Not being a Twitface user I'm not sure how it works. Alos unsure of what she was doing, was it a post she then shared to others? How does that work? If drag and drop I can understand errors but if you have to type in a name or something then I dont.

Twitter and Facebook are excellent tools for filtering out people who are too stupid to hold office, or hold influencial positions.
In this instance, a Councillor Tweeting a racist joke, should make them unsuitable to be a Conservative Councillor. And the fault does not just rest with her. People do not become Councillors by accident. They have to be nominated, selected and endorsed by the Party. So there is a collective fail.

Must agree with you there gromit, the problem with twitface et al is that it's too easy to broadcast to the world where as in the past an "ist" comment whilst "tired and emotional" in the boozer may only be heard by a few now it's out there and it's game over!

No, they shouldn't have. It's a cynical move to take control of the council.

Incompetance at what? Being able to use Facebook?

Personaly so long as they keep my bins emptied I dont care if they are techonology savvy.
