Gordon in the morning: Won't someone think of the children?

Now, there's no excuse for the person tweeting at Cher Lloyd that they hope her mum dies. Today Cher calls for someone to do something:

She said: "It disgusts me that nobody really cares about online bullying. I kind of take it on the chin but there are boys and girls out there who can't."

Cher added: "I'm worried about something happening to a young person. The Government should step in."

Yes. Perhaps they could start by stepping in and banning a TV programme which effectively offers a platform to millionaires to get richer by bullying people who want to sing a bit, as that's clearly not helping create an atmosphere where people think about what they say before they say it.
