Maybe Mark has taken a vow of silence. Or perhaps he's under investigation and all his digital devices have been confiscated. Probably too much to hope for.
Gazza's tweets are a bit garbled but it looks as if the accuser might have asked him for a selfie.
Paul Gascoigne breaks silence after he's charged with sexual assault
"Another, signed 'Gazza', said he was 'crying his eyes out', while a final post seemed to suggest he had let a woman kiss him on the cheek when she asked for a selfie and stuck up for her."

I couldn't quite get my head around the justification for tweeting Rolf Harris's name at such an early stage in the investigation and at a time when the newspapers weren't printing it. If I have read the response correctly, it seems that what is being said is that it was OK to have revealed Rolf's name at such an early stage because he was later found guilty.
Tweeting Rolf's name so early meant that any financially challenged, drink-sozzled, fantasising women who wanted to jump on the bandwagon had a lot more time to get their act together. Let's not forget his 'youngest victim', who he was found guilty of assaulting even though he'd never set foot in the community centre where it supposedly happened, with the conviction subsequently being overturned (something the tabloids like to forget, as he is still accused from time to time of 'assaulting girls [plural] as young as seven'). I wonder if she's had to pay back her £22,000 compo? I doubt it somehow.
I have never quite understood why he was able to reveal Rolf's name in the way he did, with impunity.
I agree entirely and can't understand either how he got away with it and continues to do so. The tweet was never removed from Twitter, which the police could surely have done if they were concerned it could pull in false accusers. It doesn't look as if his original defence team did anything about it either. The fact that MWT was able to tweet police activity "currently" (" Breaking : Rolf Harris currently being interviewed under caution at police station as part of #Savile other #sexual offences" source) suggests that he had very close contact with Operation Yewtree, so the police could hardly have been unaware of it. It makes me wonder if he put out the tweet, with that wording, which looks as if it's dropping hints with those hash-tagged words, at someone's suggestion and/or with their blessing. It was retweeted hundreds of times (nearer 900 times when I first saw it), and must have generated chatter off Twitter too, so it seems entirely possible that accusers could have seen it and been prompted to come up with a Savile-style sexual offence allegation. It also went out first thing on the day the Leveson report was published, which of course said “I think that it should be made abundantly clear that save in exceptional and clearly identified circumstances, the names or identifying details of those who are arrested or suspected of a crime should not be released to the press nor the public”.

H, it sounds as if there's a certain amount of dirty laundry that needs to be aired.
Perhaps there's nothing to this, especially as it's not clear who's behind the Twitter account, but this might explain why MWT has been silent - busy fending off another article:

Just finished reading a book : The Most Dangerous Detective by Steve Bishop.
independentaustralia.net/australia/austr...erous-detective,8318
Superbly researched and all about a very bent ( with numerous others) cop / detective in Queensland ( they used to call it The Deep North) during the 50 / 60 /70s.
Boy was it corrupt there but this one seems to have deliberately set up an innocent man to be hanged in South Australia before they abolished the death sentence and possibly murdered someone.
And then of course the really weird Lutheran New Zealander Sir Joh Belke Peterson came along as Premiere for 20 years in gerrymandered elections and refined bent cops so that even the Police Commissioner (a Pom eventually extricated from the UK to face trial) was on the take from brothels, bank robberies etc and if you arrived at the Premier's office with a brown paper bag of cash any ghastly development was approved...to the point the most beautiful beach in the world.. Surfer's Paradise with it's glorious sea mist that comes in the afternoon .... the sun is sadly obliterated by mega story buildings that shade the beach from 4pm onward.
The point was...the author examined nearly 200 cases in the USA where dedicated lawyers got prisoners serving life declared innocent in re-trials after proving with the DNA evidence they couldn't possibly have committed the crime..
But in nearly every case.. .they plead guilty and signed confessions !!
How many more? How many executed or died in jail?
How many in Britain's jails?..especially after just watching Rillington PLace and poor Timothy Evans- executed
