I didn't know this, but apparently at the weekends, Neville gives control of his twitter account over to an activist.

Last night, a TRA was posting from hos account. It was the usual TRA rubnish about how people are trying to take away their rights, provoke them to react violently and, worst of all, giving the TRA version of what happened at Speaker's Corner.

Cue angry feminists replying to counteract the lies, TRAs coming in to say "stop trying to silence trans voices" and "we do get abuse" and a cameo appearance from Adrian Harrop.

What a shit fest.

I'm appalled that this is coming from a famous person's account (the tweets are still upas of now). How could a celebrity do something so stupid? And surely some if this is libel? How much worse is thos crap going to get?

I STILL want to know which trans "rights" women are 'working to destroy' or prevent them having.

Me to Vicky. Exactly which rights is it that they think they don't have? Other than the right to access women only spaces.

I would love to know why they come out with this 'its clear Maria had the transwoman n a headlock' rubbish. The video is there for all to fucking see. Along with the actual conviction too...its really hard to get a conviction for male on female violence to start with, so clearly the very high burden of proof was met.

Well I thought what a weird thing for Neville to get involved with.
I can't imagine him being well educated on the issues then I read this disclaimer
Disclaimer: Most evenings from 7-10pm my twitter is taken over by activists and campaigners I pick personally to give them a voice and platform to raise awareness about their campaigns. What is said during these times during takeovers is not by myself so please be aware

So there not necessarily NS's views but then he says he hand picks. The activists.

But it seems like an odd thing to do full stop. There must be lots of confused contradictions on the account. Why not start an account specially to give activists a voice.

Seems weird

You can't imagine Gary Lineker doing it, can you? "Tonight I'm giving over control of my Twitter account to Nick Griffin..."

For some reason that photo of Neville Southall always makes me think of Oswald Mosley. It's the moustache I think that, without being an aficionado, I'd call an "extended Hitler".

Or Roderick Spode...

Well how much research do you reckon he does in to what these "activists" actually stand for not just talking about TRAs.

To me it's giving people a very high profile a platform for unmoderated views. It's odd.

Letting someone else post on your account is extraordinarily stupid. You’ll still be liable if they post something breaching libel or privacy laws.

Ahh, of course , VickyEadie it's Roderick Spode I was thinking of! I did an image search on Oswald Mosley and thought "that's not quite it but for some reason I have him in mind".

The woman who was attacked was clearly libelled. Will she be suing him?

There's several views that Neville should regret I hope

Neville is a big hero to the Twitter TRA brigade.

The exact opposite of Graham Linehan Hmm

He's also making libelous claims against Maria MacLachlan (the woman who was attacked at Hyde Park Corner by Tara Wolf)

Someone posted this picture on Twitter last night as well of Neville as he is today. To be honest he bears no resemblance to his Twitter picture with the moustache or without it.

And yes I think there's talks about him being sued on Twitter today. Apparently if your account posts libelous statements then you are responsible whether or not you yourself wrote the words. I suppose there's no way of proving that he didn't write the words in the way.

Oh thanks DJLippy.

I'd be very happy to support Maria with this. It's about time these lies got quashed for good!

Haha the irony of some one who seeminly hands over his twitter account to any one without any moderation or insight in to their views, calling people fuckwits.

I would have thought giving complete strangers control ofvyour public profile was the most fuckwit kind of thing to do

It is a very strange thing to do. Why could he not just setup an activists account and proclaim it as such and then urge all his supporters to follow that as well? Why pretend that he is tweeting all this stuff when in fact it's some activist?
