Don't you think it's just sick that the Tories are using the current economic climate as an excuse to decimate hard won workers' rights? A return to Hire and fire at will will not improve our economy in any way.

Mia Culpa and the perils of Facebook

I'm a relative newcomer to Facebook having resisted it for so long.  However I dipped my toe in a few months ago and boy, knowing that I'm mixing my metaphors, I've been burnt.

What I thought was a jokey comment about a cute baby pig photo unleashed a torrent of posts from upset vegetarians.  Quite right too.  It was a silly, unthinking thing to do.  However it is a lesson learnt.

Another comment I made was about feminism and the need for sisterhood and not doing other women down.  Again, this released a number of posts suggesting that by saying this I was somehow advocating that we do men down.  I certainly said no such thing but realised that comment to an audience of (mostly) strangers who do not know me, my life, my politics and so on means that I either have to shut up or develop a thick skin.  I'm still thinking about that choice.  I also briefly considered closing my account down but decided that being in contact with friends and seeing what they're up to is great.  I just need to be more aware that the friends of my friends are not my friends too.
