Is this including the defamation and threats or is it a different set of charges?
As much as I think the guy is a tool, it does seem incredibly selective when it comes to who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t.
Calling someone a bike nonce online is a criminal offense? Wow ok.
Get stabbed in the face and have your case closed by text 48 hours later, call someone a bike nonce on social and get hauled before the crown court.
He’s a fucking dick but no chance he should be criminally punished for that.
That’s why defamation lawsuits exist, and why he’s already had to pay Vine £75k.
The police and the justice system have better things to do.
Just another example of why this country is a laughing stock to the rest of the world
“called Vine a “bike nonce” he rides a bike with a 14in wheel
Joey Barton may be a bit of a lunatic, and I’ve heard of other stuff he’s done which might well have warranted prosecution, but this seems like the criminalisation of banter. Am I the only one who finds the phrase “bike nonce” quite amusing? I’d be tempted to use it myself on occasion, if it didn’t now carry the risk of a criminal conviction…
Cue the reactionary howling in rage and despair that you can’t publicy call people pedophiles and be immune to consequences for doing so…
Suppose they can make space for him in prison, for the grave offense if being a cunt online, by accidentally releasing a few peados
What a ridiculous country we are

The law coming down on people who use, say, the N word against people is understandable. Straight incitement also can’t stand. Basically anything else should be allowed to slide if you are half serious about these traditions of freedom that we notionally hold to.
Can’t wait for the ‘free speech for me, not for thee’ crowd to show up and start defending criminal prosecutions for hurting someone’s feelings in a way that doesn’t even constitute harassment.
Gone are the days of freedom of expression, freedom of press, and freedom of assembly.
Whatever you think of this tool, the fact that we can get prosecuted for saying things online should be getting alarm bells ringing inside of everyone. Coupled with the online safety act requiring us to submit ID to access certain content (assuming no VPN), I really don’t like where the UK is headed.
Wow, a lot of people here would be fine if someone was publishing material on a regular basis claiming they were a child abuser. Personally I would want that shit shut down ASAP, especially if I was a well known public figure.
Barton is an odious little twat, however this should not be a crime
It’s technically malicious communication in the eyes of the law. Consistently painting someone as a nonce, while having a following and platform to do so, is criminal in our country. Soft foul, but still a foul.
He’s a 40+ year old millionaire trying to troll people on Twitter like a 12 year old incel on 4Chan.
What a sad, pathetic excuse for a man.
Like, log off twitter and enjoy your millions rather than trying to seek the validation of middle-aged ex-EDL members, you great top hat.
