A grandad has found himself bombarded with messages from strangers after a racist Twitter profile using his picture went viral.
Nigel Addison, 62, has been forced to call the police after a selfie he posted on Facebook was hijacked by a prankster tweeting under the name Barry Stanton.
The account, which claims to be of a dad-of-five from Blackpool, went viral after tweeting a series of provocative anti-immigration comments.
Tweets from the so-called Barry Stanton include: “Whey do black people thing comedy is just loud people shouting?” as well as supportive messages for Brexit.
