All this online nastiness isn't just about MPs — it's poisoning our local chats too. Time to make platforms accountable.

I saw it happen just last month with the proposed new roundabout by the A6. Our own Councillor Davies, bless her, put up a post on the Bakewell Facebook group asking for opinions, and within hours it was just a free-for-all. People calling her names, making threats — not outright physical, but definitely nasty. All because they didn't like the idea of losing a few trees. It’s not just MPs getting this treatment, it trickles down to all of us who try to do a bit of good.

These social media companies, they just sit back and let it happen, don't they? They make all their money from people staying on their sites, even if it’s to argue and shout. I think it’s high time they were held responsible for the vile stuff that gets posted.
