Louise Mensch has launched a new "rival" to twitter surprisingly its not called the echo chamber

Louise Mensch has launches a rival to twitter called menschn.com this is not a play on her name. But is an illiterate  variant of the word mention. She says she launched it because she had become frustrated with twitter. I suppose it can be frustrating having to listen to different opinions and not being able to censor people who disagree with you. It's not the first time Louise Mensch has had a run in on twitter last month she attempted to deflect criticism of her partisan support for Rupert Murdoch by accusing others if immoral bigotry. Louise Mensch was subjected to sexist abuse but this was minority of people and is highly common thing that happens to everyone in internet arguments. What you do is you stand by your argument and prove them wrong. By trying to deflect attention from her immoral behaviour to the abuse she received she effectively proved those who accused her being in the pocket of Rupert Murdoch correct.

Oh and its currently only available in the US probably because republicans are very easy to manipulate and will bring traffic to the site.

Sir Martin Sorrell has suffered a major rebuke from his shareholders

Advertising boss Sir Martin Sorrell has suffered a major rebuke in one of the biggest pay revolts of the current "shareholder spring".
Some 59.5% of proxy investor votes went against WPP's remuneration report, which includes a £6.8 million package for Sir Martin, which he defended as a reward for "performance, not failure".
The vote, revealed at WPP's annual meeting in Dublin, is not binding and will not force WPP to reset its pay policy for last year.
Louise Rouse, director of engagement at investment campaigner FairPensions, who attended the meeting, said: "It is difficult to know whether the WPP board underestimated the level of shareholder anger or simply chose to ignore it."
The meeting in Dublin followed months of shareholder ire over executive pay with the likes of Aviva, Trinity Mirror, Barclays, William Hill, Xstrata and Premier Foods all facing significant votes against their pay reports.
Shareholder advisory groups, including the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and Pensions Investment Research Consultants (Pirc), had urged members not to back WPP's "excessive" remuneration report.
Pirc said "concerns lie in excessiveness and the balance between reward and incentive".
Writing in the Financial times last week, Sir Martin issued a robust defence of his pay, warning that if Britain wanted high achievers in the private sector, it needed to pay competitively.
He told the paper: "The compensation debate in the UK now seems to have shifted from undeserving bankers paid for failure and from payment for performance to what is fair pay."
However, chairman Philip Lader, a former White House deputy chief of staff, took a more conciliatory approach and said all pay deals were open to further "deliberations".
Other casualties of the so-called shareholder spring have included Andrew Moss, who quit as chief executive of Aviva, and Sly Bailey, who will leave her post as boss of Trinity Mirror.
Business Secretary Vince Cable is currently drawing up plans to give greater power to shareholders but is understood to be considering watering down proposals for a binding annual vote in favour of a poll every three years.

David Camerons actions are just making Jeremy Hunt look very guilty

Like a man fleeing from the law or child playing truant from school so they don't have to hand in the homework they never completed. David Cameron is desperately trying to keep Jeremy Hunts role in the BSKYB bid scandal from being scrutinized by independent outsiders. It is clear to everyone except David Cameron that there are a number of unanswered questions regarding Hunts conduct, not least of all that he threw Smith to the wolves to save his own career. Labour are right to demand an investigation into Hunts conduct. Unfortunately the Lib Dems are unable to pluck the courage to do the right thing so they will be abstaining from the vote.

Not politics but if true this is a most amazing story
