Slap in the face for Henry as social networks hit back

AS the fallout from Henry-gate continues, the maligned French captain may have hoped to count on his friends for support. However, as a result of the fury his Hand of Gaul has provoked, even that opportunity appears to be beyond the controversial star.

After days of public abuse, the company behind social networking site Twitter has suspended access to the player’s account, citing “strange activity”. While this means outraged messages can no longer be sent to the French forward’s personal site, it has also resulted in Henry being effectively blocked from the popular social network.

The situation has been repeated on the online information site wikipedia, which over the weekend locked its page on the footballer due to what it described as “vandalism”.
