1. This is "Phil Kane" or "PhilKane15". He's been on Twitter for almost a year.
2. "Phil" is a creature of habit, he visits Twitter every day, always from his computer - never his phone.
Which isn't too common these days.

3. Phil likes to reply to the same few people, over and over again.
What would be a reasonable number of times that a sane, genuine, person would tweet an insult, to someone they don't know, on Twitter?

Zero insults?
Ten insults?

5. "Phil Kane" has sent insults, harassment, taunts, snipey weird misogyny, and more, at @carolecadwalla...
NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT TIMES.
In ten months.

6. He trolls others too and does send some "normal" tweets about his dog, but his obsession with sending insults at @carolecadwalla tops everything.
He does it several times a day, every day.

7. The harassment varies, sometimes just straight insults.
8. How does he find the time?
9. Recently "Phil" has been sending this weird copy paste slogan a few times a day.
10. But then again, no one should feel special if they receive this, as he sends the same copy paste propaganda weirdness to: Kamala Harris (?), Ian Blackford MP (!) and LBC radio (?).
Normal.
Normal.
11. Over the course of nearly 1,000 tweets at @carolecadwalla of daily harassment, he's usually careful not to stray into direct threats.
Although this campaign of abuse would seem to cross the legal threshold of harassment.

12. He does occasionally slip into what might be interpreted as at least an implied threat though, like this one.
13. If someone sent 968 harassing letters, or made 968 harassing phone calls, would the @metpoliceuk investigate?
Are Tweets be any different?
