More Twitter-related Shenanigans



Talking about Louise Mensch and her encounters with BBC reporters...

Here's another exchange you may have missed:
Something like this always seems to happen during elections. BBC reporters just can't stop themselves.

As well as deleting his tweet attacking Louise Mensch and 'The Sun', Gareth Jones has also changed his Twitter handle from @BBCgarethjones to @Gareth___Jones (though his masthead still shows BBC Broadcasting House).

If you were wondering, Gareth is a Radio 5 Live News & Sport Producer.

Oddly, his feed also includes this from a few day's ago, tweeted during the ITV leaders' debate:
I guess he's talking about Leanne Woods of Plaid Cymru there; however, @simbrowning has deleted the tweet Gareth was replying to.

Someone else agreed with @simbrowning though (whatever it was he said):
And who's @simbrowning when he's (at home) at work? He's Simon Browning, BBC Breakfast General Election 2015 Producer

Did he also tweet something not entirely impartial and then delete the evidence?
