UKIP’s first ever elected MP may be about to gain notoriety of a different kind based on his latest tweet to his 27,000 followers.  He has just invited them to join him in a game of Hello Kitty World.

Come play Hello Kitty World with me! http://bit.ly/1cKRXuC  #hellokittyworld Kittt

At the time of writing he hasn’t commented on his tweet but I’m sure we will get one of the following explanations:

1. My acount was hacked
2. My daughter was using my phone
3. This is what happens when you let too many people into our country

We’re guessing at number 2 but whatever the explanation Carswell, as a prolific blogger who embraces digital communications, should know better.  At the time of writing it has received dozens of replies, been retweeted nearly 500 times and received 100+ favourites.

It won’t be the last social media gaffe of the election and Carswell will be adding passwords to his phone and PC, that is of course unless he does just want a game of Hello Kitty World.
