The events of August have made me much more pensive about the frequency of my posts and content.

One of the more chilling aspects of the threats made to the family was the visit to Hale Cafe by the hired thugs on the basis that “he calls this his office”.

Given the illiteracy of subsequent text messages, I doubt the heavies were themselves scrutinising social media. But somebody was.

Of course, I only have myself to blame I know.

Social media remains a cornerstone of modern marketing but my location check ins are likely to be reflective rather than current or predicted from now on.

Better safe than sorry for the moment.
