He is a rather odious individual for many different reasons but I read with interest the judges statement and how the courts now see social media. I wonder how many football sites might sail close to the wind with sustained individual attacks.
On sentencing, Judge Menary KC told Barton: "Robust debate, satire, mockery and even crude language may fall within permissible free speech.
"But when posts deliberately target individuals with vilifying comparisons to serial killers or false insinuations of paedophilia, designed to humiliate and distress, they forfeit their protection.
"As the jury concluded, your offences exemplify behaviour that is beyond this limit – amounting to a sustained campaign of online abuse that was not mere commentary but targeted, extreme and deliberately harmful.

I think the judge summed it up correctly. Theres a difference between what some people say, and the things he has said about Aluko and Vine. Folk that still don’t realise that are living in the dark ages.
