        @BBCBreaking Whilst I abhor such behaviour maybe the police could put as much effort in investigating today's child abuse allegations?

        @Grumpyme4 @BBCBreaking that or the fact that such perversions couldn't have occurred without high level police complicity or involvement.

        @BBCBreaking I remind you that, similarly with J.Savile, Ted Heath shall remain innocent under English law: never found guilty in court.

        .@BBCBreaking The term you are looking for is child sexual abuse. It's really not that difficult to use the correct terminology.

        @timwhistles @BBCBreaking No. The BBC constantly use the term 'sex assault' instead of 'sexual assault'.

        @EVB_Now @BBCBreaking But Twitter might 'require' using this inaccuracy from time to time. Elsewhere, I fully understand the frustration.

        @timwhistles @BBCBreaking No. It doesn't. It is perfectly possible to write a headline & tweet it out using accurate terminology.

        @EVB_Now @BBCBreaking And again.. Twitter sometimes 'requires' words to be abbreviated semantically incorrectly. Elsewhere I agree with you!

        @EVB_Now @BBCBreaking Pitw.. When I read this appalling tweet, I didn't notice the semantic error, if I had, I would of put it down to space
