will we get to the stage when no-one can say what they want anymore as your online trail haunts you for life? is a shame
No. It isn't a shame. One should not say on-line anything that you wouldn't be happy to say to someone in the street. The whole anonymity thing leads to those hysterical facebook witch hunts.No-one is anonymous on-line. Your employers and prospective employers ARE reading your facebook, bebo or myspace pages and they ARE taking it into account. One must live with that.
To be fair Racingdude009 made comments HE wasn't embarassed about. It's just no-one else is going to agree...
The sooner those who wish to represent our communities are those who actually care about the society and don't just see it as a job or career, the sooner we will have a better country to live in.
I occasionally say things I regret online, much like in personal life. But I am open about who I am, and if anyone does have a problem they are quite welcome to get in touch and talk about it. I think that is how I treat my online persona anyway.

BUT this sort of thing will lead to the opposite. Everyone has embarrassments in their past. Anyone who doesn't is probably going to be precisely the kind of person who we least want as a politician - someone who has plotted out the entire path of their life aged 13 and endeavored to avoid anything that could remotely compromise their political career thirty years down the line.So not just a sad b
d, but a megalomaniac psychopathic sad bd at that. It isn't just a worry there, either. History shows us that society has been moved on by a tiny, tiny number of great men and women not just in politics but in engineering, philosophy, business, charity, mathematics, science... One characteristic that they almost all share is they are not just outliers in their chosen subject, but almost always deviants from the perspective of the status quo in so many other ways as well.
I'm not suggesting John Cowan is a great man for sticking his cock in a jar of marmalade. But let's be careful where this all ends up.

Hopefully this will put an end to his political career.
Given the way the liars and cheaters are these days, it sounds like it will give his political career a boost.
He's kinda like a 'mercenary MP', but a not very good at all one....

That's the bit that did it for me. From what i've read though, he seems perfect MP material to me, i reckon he would fit in just fine with the ladies and gentlemen who now inhabit the Palace of Westminster. Made for the job, i'd say.
