Michael Fabricant MP

Seems I wasn’t the only person who was a [bit underwhelmed by Michael Fabricant’s Twittering](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2009/02/27/michael-fabricants-twitter-whats-the-point/).

Guardian columnist Simon Hoggart has also put the boot in [over on their website](http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/mar/07/simon-hoggarts-week?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

However, I do feel that at least my criticism was constructive (even if Mr Fabricant didn’t see it as so). Mr Hoggart’s efforts were typical London media snobbery – if we don’t understand it, rubbish it.

Before launching into his jab at our MP’s efforts, the Guardian’s man says:

> As an open-minded Luddite I often think carefully about joining these online networks before deciding, no, why waste the time? (There are some upmarket Facebook-type sites now which you’re supposed to join, not to share pictures of yourself in a state of inebriation, but to discuss the arts, the economy and the future of the planet. I can’t be doing with them either.)

Anyway, I do hope our beloved MP will bite back at Mr Hoggart in the same way he did at me.
