Never let it be said that Louise Mensch lets ignorance get in the way of having opinions:
The response to #CharlieHebdo should be to reprint his work and spread it wider than his killers could have thought possible

(to those critiquing my ‘his’ in Charlie Hebdo I am referring to the cartoonist, as well as magazine. Cartoons seem v similar to me.

I assume one man drew cartoons and others worked on the mag to print them. I support all of their free expression and have RTed *his* work

(Note to readers: Charlie Hebdo means “Charlie Weekly”; “Charlie” because the magazine was briefly banned in 1970 while printed under the name Hara-Kiri Hebdo for satirising the death of Charles de Gaulle. Changing the name was a way to both sidestep the ban and stick two fingers up at the French political establishment.)
