Louise Mensch back on drugs/alcohol?

I definitely got that impression reading her tweets today:
www.independent.co.uk/news/people/louise-mensch-jeremy-hunt-twitter-father-sick-son-nhs-junior-doctor-nurses-conservative-cabinet-a7136916.html

It doesn't sound like she is in a good place.

Isn't it a bit strange to be in hospital with your son and be tweeting about politics.

Why strange?

You sit there waiting why not tweet while you're waiting? It's not like you're busy or anything.

Oh no, please don't mention her on here. She's like bloody Candyman. Say her name and she'll turn up and argue with everyone!

When you say 'back on,' do you mean there's history?

peachpudding the dad was in a hospital waiting area with his son and the [false] news was on the compulsory waiting area tv and he reported the reaction of the hospital ward to it.

He didn't tweet it to Mensch.

But she found it and publicly called him a 'loathsome tit' amongst other things.

Historically she turns up and is forthright at everyone.

I am just confused about why someone would think a delayed op is the result of a politician and not the doctors striking. Personally I would be more worries about my DC than twitter.

Well, he was worried about his child and that's why he tweeted.
Simple.

Ah Louise Mensch. How proud mnhq must be to have had that special relationship with her.

Incidentally, the first time I tried to post this message from my phone I got redirected to a hardcore porn site. How could that happen? And what can I do to stop it happening again?

but delayed ops have been caused by strikes not louise

She wasn't the addressee of the tweet.

No. Wants media career. Going down the Katie Hopkins Lite road. Treat accordingly. She's been at it the least two weeks.

She is just unpleasant and after attention.

I agree OP, her reaction does not seem normal. Calling someone a loathsome scumbag because they they didn't want Jeremy Hunt to stay heath secretary? Confused

Even if she is back on drugs/alcohol it's no excuse to being such a vile twat.

Whatever happened to "Menschn" ?

Ah, yes www.theguardian.com/media/2013/feb/06/menshn-close-louise-mensch-luke-bozier

Best not post that link too much. It'll start appearing in Google (again).

Looking an her account today, she seems to have sobered up in the cold light of day and deleted her tirade of abusive tweets from yesterday.

Twitter and alcohol (or whatever she was on) are a lethal combination.

No, CorkieD her appalling tweets are all still there.
She tweets and retweets such a ridiculous amount in 24 hours that they're hard to find, but yep, still there. She even reiterated that they would not be removed.
The woman has no shame.

Because it almost certainly isn't. It is much more likely to do with underfunding of the NHS.

As for Mensch, she is a stunningly stupid woman. Whether there's anything else going on, who knows. She's perfectly capable of posting offensive crap like this and thinking she's just being robust and forthright.
