Don't Ignore the Elephant | Felicity Cornelius-Mercer: Social Media – a blessing or a curse?

This week’s guest is Felicity Cornelius-Mercer. She’s become the female James Blunt of Twitter by defending attacks on her husband Johnny Mercer, MP with humour and wit.    We talk about the realities of living life in the public eye and what it’s like to work with your husband and still make a marriage work, and a little bit about male grooming.  We also chat about how hard it is to be a politician in this current climate, whether they should go on reality TV shows and will the Online Abuse Bill will make any difference. I’d love to know what you think.   She definitely gave me food for thought when I deal with hurtful comments in the future.  If you want to follow Felicity on Twitter, and you really, really should, this is where to find her -    Twitter @mercer_felicity   If you’re want to know more about becoming a lifeguard, see below https://www.everyoneactive.com/about-us/careers/nplq/   Don’t Ignore the Elephant Knitting pattern  Use the code DITE for 20% off Knitting Pattern by Claire Fairall Designs  All profits go to the Institute of Cancer Research    To find our more about me -  Instagram @oriordanliz Twitter @Liz_ORiordan YouTube @DrLizORiordan Website www.liz.oriordan.co.uk Don’t Ignore The Elephant is hosted by Dr Liz O’Riordan, in association with Elizabeth Richards, proudly sponsored by AOK Events, produced by Bird Lime Media.
