Comedian Stephen Fry has said he is prepared to go to prison over the Twitter joke trial.



Fry was at a benefit gig for a man who is appealing against his conviction for sending a menacing communication.



Paul Chambers had tweeted: Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You've got a week... otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!



Fry argued that Chambers' tweet was an example of Britain's tradition of self-deprecating humour and banter.
