A political blogger called John Graham Kerlen, who writes under the name Olly Cromwell, has been convicted of sending "grossly offensive malicious communications" after calling a Bexley councillor the c-word on Twitter and inviting people to post faeces to the councillor's house. He will be sentenced on 9 May and could receive a custodial sentence of up to six months in jail. The blogger has a long history of dispute with the Bexley Council.
