Louise Mensch Quotes

• Your moral stance depends on what you think is being aborted. If you don’t believe it to be a person but part of a woman’s body, of course you will be pro-choice. I would be virulently pro-choice if I didn’t believe it to be a person.

• We’d all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn’t any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service.

• Menshn is a play on the word mention, and in the U.S. that’s how it’ll be perceived. Like Tumblr or Flickr. People in the U.K. thought that I’d named it after myself.

• In my view, the future of politics is, without a doubt, social liberalism married to economic conservatism. Which means we have to make an economic argument to social liberals, that it’s OK to vote for us. But we won’t run the economy into the ground at the same time.
