Thread by @OwenJones84

The reason I'm currently trending is because a group of British journalists decided to mock the names of my friends at Novara.

One of them suffered a horrible personal tragedy, which I knew nothing about, in 2019, and obviously I was not, in any way, mocking this horror.

I appreciate there are several obsessive people on this website determined to impose the most bad faith and ungenerous interpretation on anything I do or say.

Robert deserves nothing but sympathy and love for his tragedy, which neither I or anyone mocked or referred to.

The original thread had triggered, really quite predictably, a load of overtly racist bile. That was my objection, and the fact some of the journalists originally mocking Novara journalists' names deleted their tweets is presumably because they became aware of this fact.

Here are tweets from 'Brian Spanner', who initiated the thread ridiculing Novara journalists' names, and who several British journalists follow and interact with on a regular basis.
