Lord McAlpine pursues legal action against Twitter users

Comment

I feel very uneasy about this (and no, I didn't tweet his name). If the innocent use the law to stop such statements, we can assume that the guilty will also seek to do the same. Lord McAlpine is innocent. However in 2008 Jimmy Saville was using a law firm to silence rumours.
