4. Sir Christ recently removed the "Sir" from his Twitter profile & changed his profile picture.
The "Philanthropist, father, social liberal, astronaut, nobel peace prize, village publican, forex trader, billionaire twitter addict" and other made up stuff
is now:
"Investor"

5. Sir Christopher Cottle's new photo is stolen from a "birthday experiences for the over 60s" website.
Specifically, a picture used to illustrate a £79 helicopter ride, over Bristol.

10. Sir Christopher pretends to be technically illiterate and have:
"only just heard about and joined Twitter".
But he also uses internet conspiracy theorist language like "Globalist".
And is very familiar, and a proponent of, weird little-known internet conspiracy theories.

11. "Russian trolls" are sometimes wrongly blamed for things that domestic trolls are actually responsible for.
12. But it is odd that Sir Christopher joined Twitter on the 11th of January, at 11am.
Then the same day, at 15:00, he somehow stumbled across this obscure, pro-Russia, propaganda Twitter account.
And retweeted it supportively.

13. The account that Sir Christopher somehow found, Ivan8848, mostly retweets Russian government content & praise for Putin.
That kind of thing.
That kind of thing.
14. Denial of Putin's corruption.
15. Very genuine and organic tweet, Ivan.
16. Ivan NOT Happy about this outrage against Russian government information worker!
17. "You should be FRIEND with us"
- from Ivan

18. You get the idea.
19. Anyway, how did Sir Christopher Cottle, who apparently doesn't know how to use Twitter, stumble across this obscure pro Russia/conspiracy theory Twitter account, in his first couple of hours?
Who knows!
Who knows!
20. Anyway, Sir Christopher has changed his profile again.
