Thing is, he failed to mention any of that in his tweet and so people made up their own minds as to what was going on.
Here's what he wrote:
No mention of charity anywhere, just a plug for his business.

There were a bunch of hipsters in Windrush sq today; ethnic hats, guitars, dancing.
Turns out they were Peruvian buskers.
Christmas fair thing was lame. Not a marsh mellow in sight.

No.
His twitter account does seem to be linked to his business. Is he not allow to plug his business using his twitter account?
He has only 59 followers.

Queens Head in Stockwell has got a good Christmas Fair thing going on. Lots of fun people there. Santa's grotto is well worth a visit.

Queens Head was mental! Larry Love singing Christmas songs and Al Zapp
trying to do some stand-up comedy but failing as there where to many kids for
his profanity laden show.

He can tweet and plug whatever he likes, just as people are free to comment on the content of those posts. Not sure what your point is here, to be honest.

It's terrible, but whenever I see them, I think of the Fast Show sketch.
The Winter Funland was pretty low on festive thrills.

its like a skating rink this evening. It isn't that cold, but its horrible walking across thereicy paving stones?

A bit like the all-new-all-lethal paving outside the British Library...it does piss me off when very expensive areas are laid out and being able to walk across them when it's wet is not something that strikes as a possibility, like it's a cataclysmic shock to the architects that it occasionally rains in Britain.

Santacon. It's the annual Santa convention. All the santae get together to parade through central london, distribute chocolate coins, sprouts and good cheer, and to pass resolutions*. And maybe get a little drunk.
I been on a few though not in recent years.
*WHAT DO WE WANT?
CHRISTMAS!
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?

Hello.
Would you like a

pic edited out. The following exchange now makes no sense. Should have stayed up later, shouldn't you have.

Why were you getting arrested, or was that the first in a series of Santa porn?

I was tasked with ruining santa's reputation for my old blog. A police officer (who arrived after some idiot phoned the police to report loads of santae 'kicking off' 
) kindly agreed to pose with me.
I'm taking that down in a minute as I've had an embargo on posting pics of me since changing my name.

Pic made perfect sense. I imagine santacon isn't so easy anymore. Santacon two I seem to remember bought an entire pub a round of drinks and then claimed it had no money. The landlord happily stepped in & bought it for us. With two thousand that's not so manageable.
So you've *already* changed your name. And you're still quimcunx. Which means you're not quimcunx.
As in all previous existential crisis I've had, I'm going to the offy. Anyone want anything?
