A moronic Police and Crime Commissioner in Kent, Ann Barnes, ws stupid enough to think that she needed a youth commissioner to help her communicate with younger people in her area. She appointed a 17 year old, Paris Brown, though exactly why she chose this particular child has not been publicised.
Ms Brown seems to be a very voluble young woman, unfortunately for her. It now transpires that she has a history of 'tweeting', a particularly modern and pointless pastime, and her past 'tweets' have now come back to haunt both her and her boss. For some time, it seems that she made a number of 'tweets' which were of a possibly racist or anti-gay nature.
After initally ignoring calls for her to resign or be sacked, Ms Brown has finally grapsed the nettle and decided to step down, one assumes not without the odd shove from the woman who appointed her and whose own position must now be in serious question. Ms Barnes has reportedly said that it is 'a very sad day'.
One might hope that the people of Kent not only believe today to be a sad day but also that they now deeply regret electing such a stupid person in the first place. Perhaps when these utterly unnecessary posts come up for election in the future, the electorate will head for the shops, pub or anywhere else that isn't a polling station and that the message will be conveyed loud and clear - "STOP WASTING OUR MONEY !"
