You'll also notice that part of France is included in the Twitter corpus as the geo-fence used to enclose the UK was a rectangle and so included some unwanted areas on the edges. A restriction with the Twitter Streaming API, unfortunately.

Fair enough. Did you include that in the paper? I can't find it.

I'm not allowed to release the raw tweets due to Twitter API restrictions. I wish I could!
