    Twitter airport hoax appeal fails

    </span> Mr Chambers lost his job because of the prosecution
    A trainee accountant who posted a message on Twitter threatening to blow up an airport has lost an appeal against his conviction.

    Paul Chambers says he acted in a moment of frustration after Robin Hood Airport in South Yorkshire was closed by snow.

    The 26-year-old from Doncaster, who now lives in Northern Ireland, was found guilty in May of sending a menacing electronic communication.

    A judge at Doncaster Crown Court refused to quash his conviction.
