    #FreeTheBexleyOne - Prosecuted for Swearing on Twitter!!??

    "Olly Cromwell was found guilty under Section 127 of the Telecommunications Act 2003 of Tweeting a grossly offensive and menacing comment;"

    He was found not guilty of harrasment, so they prosecuted him swearing on Twitter!!

    Search Twitter for #FreeTheBexleyOne to find more...

    So much for Freedom of speech!
