11 September - Lord of Twitter

I have been asked anonymously if the Michael Barnbrook who used to Tweet under the name @sleazebuster is the same Michael Barnbrook who Tweets using the new account @LordBarnbrook. I am afraid it most certainly is.

Twitter effectively robbed Mick of his 17,000 followers and for a while he took the view that it was a blessing in disguise and he told his friends he was not going to get involved with Twitter again, or indeed with chasing his corrupt former employers.

His last foray in that direction was to get Cressida Dick’s office to admit that her appearance on Westminster Bridge was not something that just sort of happened while she was passing by on other business, it was actually a planned appointment listed in her desk diary. Is anyone surprised that someone in high office lies? It is the way into high office.

Mick reported the misconduct to her boss Sadiq Khan and never heard back. As he said and I know very well, you can spend years, literally, chasing corrupt police forces and all you discover is that they always lie confident that no one has the money to chase them through the courts. And judges can be bent too. Probably not as commonly as police are but it happens. Want the details?

I doubt Mick will be as forthright on the new account as he was as @sleazebuster, he has other things to worry about at the moment. I’ll ask him next Thursday when he will be back in the borough.

I am still unsure whether to close my own Twitter account, it’s not been used since mid-July. If you want to get advice of new BiB blogs and can’t be bothered with the RSS feed follow @Mario426 who always Tweets about new material on Bonkers. It’s an automated service that comes from Australia.
