Help for a British Army soldier needed!!

Hi there troops, I've joined this forum today to ask for a bit of help for my mate Harry Wilson who serves for The British Army in 1Scots. Recently as last week he even got promoted, he has also served in Afghanistan.

Yesterday on Twitter my friend joined in on a wind up known as the 'BroxiWindUp' this wind up happens everyday involving random celebrities. Yesterday was the turn of Lily Allen @lilyrosecooper tweeting her saying congratulations for adopting a child from Zimbabwe called Tito. Harry tweeted this to her as well as 100's of others and she has hand picked him out calling him racist. She tweeted The British Army and the MOD asking for him to be dealt with.

They replied to her and then contacted Harry asking him to head back to Edinburgh to meet with his bosses. He text me today saying he's expected to be sacked over this ridiculous claim.

Please show your support for him by tweeting #HarryWilsonIsNotRacist either as a tweet or sending it to Lily Allen @lilyrosecooper

Thanks everyone for your time. Stay safe.

I don't see how that's going to help him.
No idea if he's racist or not, but he should have had more sense than to join in with something so inane and childish.

As a guy who himself has been in trouble for my sense of humor I sympathies with your friend, but like the guy above I'm not certain what good we can do.
Your friend might be lucky and get a slap on the wrist, or they might choose to make an example of him if this is the case I can't see that anything I say will change their mind.
Next time your friend decides to Troll a celebrity he wants to do it under an allies to save hassle,
Still I wish your friend the best of luck.

I tweeted it for you, hope for the best for the poor lad.

But next time tell him to either use an alias. Or just stay away from internet. It gets every one in trouble these days.

If you think you need to use an alias to do something, you just shouldn't be doing it.
