YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Joey Barton has been given a suspended jail term for "grossly offensive" social media posts about broadcaster Jeremy Vine and football pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko.

The former Premier League footballer who played for Manchester City and was once capped for England, was found guilty last month on six counts of sending a grossly offensive electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety. He was cleared of six other charges.

Last month a jury at Liverpool Crown Court found Barton, 43, had “crossed the line between free speech and a crime” with six posts on X, formerly Twitter.

Tom Swarbrick wants it straight from the source, so he sat down with Eni Aluko to get her reaction to the news.
