Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

I think most people have put something daft on a social networking site at some point.  An embarrassing photo, a stupid wall post, a jokey remark - I’m sure you catch my drift.  I was always a bit more cautious than most, hence my decision to use every privacy setting available on Facebook to make sure that no-one gets access to my profile unless I want them to.  I used to think this was overly cautious and a bit boring, but it looks as though my concerns were extremely well founded.  Facebook, MySpace and all the other social networking sites have the potential to ruin your life – literally.
