Brighton release apology after causing fury in China with deleted Twitter post

Former footballer Joey Barton has been convicted of sending grossly offensive social media posts about broadcaster Jeremy Vine and TV football pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko. A jury at Liverpool Crown Court found Barton‚ 43‚ had 'crossed the line between free speech and a crime' with six posts he made on X‚ formerly Twitter. He was cleared of six other counts that he sent a grossly offensive electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety between January and March 2024.

Joey Barton today claimed that his trial on charges of sending abusive tweets was part of a state conspiracy against him which ITV had pushed police officers to pursue. In two hours under cross-examination‚ the former footballer described the case as a 'hatchet job' and said that he was in fear of being sent to jail‚ whilst the barrister prosecuting him was treating the trial like 'a game.' Barton‚ 43‚ launched an attack on prosecution witness Jeremy Vine - accusing him of having 'main character syndrome' and of 'snarling' at him when they passed each other in court on Wednesday.
