Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "Stella Creasy speaks out on online abuse" video.

She seems to be confusing online abuse for increased accessibility and accountability.Perhaps she'd prefer it where only those with a degree in English and the willingness to go post a letter communicated with her? I agree that abuse is demoralising, but so long as it is not physically threatening, it comes with the territory. If I elect you to do a job that you promise to do, then I discover that you are incompetent or lied to me, I would give you abuse too. now that politicians are coming face to face with the sentiments provoked by their actions, they are uncomfortable. They're all back in the town hall again and they are scared by it. I'm beginning to sense a movement by feminists and politicians to censor the right of disagreement. This is far more troubling than politicians receiving hostile emails. That said, we DO live in an age where people are rude in ways that they never would have considered acceptable before.
