“The lady doth protesteth too much, methinks”, but this graph shows there has been no ‘spiking’ phenomenon in my Twitter stats.

I am predicted to have 5,243 followers in 15 days, which is pretty exciting news. Eyeballing the graph below, it will be obvious that @legalcheek (blue), @davidallengreen (green) and I (red) have been ‘increasing’ at the same rate, though David is clearly miles ahead in sheer volume.

Either way, there is no phenomenon as demonstrated for ‘criminal justice guru Mervyn Barrett OBE’, as explained yesterday on the Legal Cheek blog. Mervyn’s graph is rather more suspicious.

All of this led @charonqc to indulge in a bit of ‘j’accuse’ himself, to which he received no reply.
