I’m surprised I have to explain this to journalists, but here goes, a short thread on #BorisJohnson and privacy...
Question 1. If you are having an argument so loud and violent it can be heard in neighbouring properties and the street, and the police are called, do you have a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’. I’m not polling this, the answer is no.
Question 2. If you are a person who might possibly become Prome Minister in the near future, is your behaviour in such a situation a matter of public interest. Again, no poll, I’m not going to allow people to be wilfully wrong, the answer is yes. Now can we move on?
Prome? Sorry, tweeting and walking the dog at the same time.
Blimey, the last time anything I tweeted got this much attention, it had been given a helping hand by @jk_rowling. It seems you all really love media law, I’m touched. No soundcloud, but I’m available for weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs...
I’ll be on with @NickFerrariLBC tomorrow just after 7 to talk about this.
About 1,000 new followers today as a result of this thread. Welcome all. Let’s see how long you stick around when it’s Six Nations time and the Welshness kicks in.
Just recorded a bit about this with @joncowap so should be on @BBCYork sometime this morning.

Katie Hopkins applies for insolvency agreement to avoid bankruptcy theguardian.com/media/2018/sep… - a short thread on Katie, the law, and how this all might have been avoided if she hadn’t been so trigger-happy with the block button...
You see, Katie blocked me a long, long time ago. Before all this blew up. Not because of anything I tweeted to her, but because *a lot* of people were pointing her in my direction...
Katie, as you know, is no stranger to controversy, and she had tweeted something of dubious legality, the details of which I cannot for the life of me remember. Anyhow, a few people were pointing out she was on a sticky wicket...

A quick thread on the ridiculous abuse aimed @hendopolis over #TomorrowsPapersToday and #BrendanCox...
Firstly, the repetition rule in libel, which is painfully simple, if you repeat a libel you are liable for it. This includes RTs...
So if you tweet a front page of a paper that carries a libel, you could be sued for it, because you have repeated the libel...

In the wake of yesterday's "Broadway Demons" thread, I realized my library has a Fold3 subscription, and I thought, let me look up the real Michael Keleshian and give him his due. This will be a short #thread about what I found-not much, but again, I want to give the man his due.
Michael Keleshian-- "Mike Kelley" in Father Duffy's memoir-- was born in Istanbul, circa 1893. At some point I have yet to work out, he came to the US with his family, either after the Hamidian Massacres of 1895, or at the beginning of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
He had a brother, Constantin, and his records say he lived in lower Manhattan, at 317 East 26th Street. And on 17 August 1917, Michael Keleshian enlisted at the 69th Regiment Armory at 68 Lexington Avenue, a stone's throw from his home.

Here goes the story of the #5KScammer @OgShallz I dont usually call people out but taking loans and claiming not to receive it and also taking orders for your business and not delivering what people order is a big fraud and scam. #Thread
So on Thursday I got a distress message from @ogshallz that she needed 5k which she would return by weekend, to my surprise, when i sent the money, she claimed she never recieved it, I got so worried that i even contacted barter by @theflutterwave Nd they confirmed d transaction
Was successful, but she kept denying it saying her bank's systems were down, I even offered to help by sending her the transaction Id but she never sent back a screenshot of complaining about it. She emphasized I should send another which spooked me off right away

#Thread This is an important question, so let's unpack this.

1) It is our view that coalition politics are the way of stable democracies and the future of South Africa. Germany is a good example of how coalitions work.
2) The first half of the Mandela administration ticked a number of boxes in terms of how coalitions should work (although that was a Government of National Unity rather than a coalition). The cabinet had ANC, NP, and IFP ministers. It worked well.
3) A number of our municipalities are run by coalition governments. Some of these work well. Others are a disaster.

Hier, @salhiabrakhlia présentait François-Xavier Bellamy, tête de liste LR aux Européennes et précisait qu’il n’était "pas adhérent du parti".

Dans la soirée, les Républicains l’ont attaquée : "Ça vous arrive de vérifier vos informations ?". Notre réponse 👇
#Quotidien
Le 20 janvier dernier, François-Xavier Bellamy confiait au JDD qu’il n’avait pas sa carte LR et affirmait « ne pas s’être pour l’heure posé la question de son adhésion ».

Un argument politique qui était sa signature aux Législatives de 2017.
@salhiabrakhlia #Quotidien
- Vous avez payé votre cotisation hier en étant investi en même temps, c’est ça ?
- Non, ça s’est préparé un peu en amont.

Voici ce qu’a répondu François-Xavier Bellamy ce matin sur LCI lorsqu’il a été interrogé sur son adhésion aux Républicains.

Short thread: I must confess that I’m completely puzzled by the argument that it’s somehow a _defense_ of Trump to point to the Hillary campaign’s employment of an ex-intel officer who used foreign sources. 1/
The 2016 race was snake v. snake. That’s one reason why millions upon millions of Americans voted in anguish. For defenders of one candidate to point to constantly point to the behavior of the other is a justification for a vote, not an excuse for misconduct /2
Hillary should have been indicted and prosecuted for mishandling classified information. I’ve never seen or read a convincing argument excusing her behavior. Never. /3
