Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Only the lawyers win. Unless you're on very solid ground the courts are the last place to get redress.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

It was only a matter of time before her big mouth got her into trouble..

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I know I'm a bad person but this has cheered me up no end :)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Katie who? Never heard of her.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Well less of you knocking yourself yet again as you are nothing of the sort dilli.:nono:

l think you have ;) as l thought you was related to her Mr K. :D

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

No seriously, what exactly is she famous for?

Never mind just used Wikipedia, though still none the wiser really.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

She is one of those publicity seeking big mouths who likes to hear her own controversial self opinionated views.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I think she is vile evil and nasty just for the sake of it.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

l quite agree dilli.

Lavendar's blue dilli, dilli

Katie Hopkins’ legal bills to top £300,000 after losing High Court battle to Jack Monroe.

she looks like Melissa from the chipy

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

£300k legal costs FGS! Lawyers win no matter what the outcome.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I had to look her up as well, the name seemed familiar, but didnt know why.

.. and Jack Monroe is, rather confusing, female, apparently.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

If only she had apologised and given £5k to charity - thought she was bulletproof...

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I bet the Daily Fail pay up and still employ her..all publicity sells the paper..:mad:

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

To be honest when I saw the Tweet in question I thought the case looked weak, the tweet seems just typical passive aggressive nonsense.

That said I don't have much sympathy for her. Her entire job is to dance close to the edge so she can't complain when she gets caught going over it. She is one of those people whose entire professional purpose seems to be to inject a shot of poison into the public discourse. She isn't a contrarian, or someone that writes 'unpopular truths' that would otherwise go unsaid, she is just someone who writes nasty stuff to shock and gets paid to do it.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

The thing is that what she actually said/wrote was far less offensive or harmful than a huge amount of stuff posted in places like the twittersphere. Her mistake was getting the wrong target and refusing to accept the remedial action offered to her. I dare say she'll be reflecting on that at her leisure.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

is a woman ever wrong :bsmack:

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

IIRC she didn't win The Apprentice.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

she's an over opinionated female " journalist"

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Careful now! :D

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Not in our household.:)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

She is a loathesome individual and a symptom of our society where people with no talent or even a clue can make a better living off it then ordinary people doing useful jobs i hope this is a nail in her cofgin but won't hold my breath.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

At least she can't do a Trump and stand for President..One reason for sticking with a constitutional monarchy in my humble opinion.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

She could form the "Hopkins" party, and try for a majority in the next election and become Prime Minister.

The Monarchy has nothing to do with it.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

girl power :):cleader:

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Come on CF let's crowd-fund Katie's court costs. All contributors to this thread are in for £10 - well done all!:cleader::cleader::cleader::cleader::cleader:

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

There is one crowd funding already..however the money collected will actually be going to the Trussel Fund.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Ah ok thanks, but I was thinking of a special CF fund ;).

But anyway, you sought it out with a view to contributing then?

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

No it was a link on Facebook.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

That you contributed through :)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Do you ever wish you were invisible? Doh! :D

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I contribute to no charities online..I just go to any of the local charity shops and put money in a tin.;)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Perhaps the action of clicking a link generates advertising revenue to which you would be an inadvertent contributor?

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I'm only kidding Maggy, you wouldn't support that old bag. She has been at it again though

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

...she just got sacked from LBC - good.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Praise be to god that someone has finally realised how great a idiot this woman actually is.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

My day just got a little better :)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Ironic that you gentlemen are being so nasty...

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

You would have knowledgeable experience on that score one has been told.:)

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

she is entitled to her opinions ,wonder how many others had similar thoughts ?


The now-deleted tweet, made in the hours after the explosion, read: "22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution #Machester (sic)."

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Now, now, persecuting other forum members is not permitted you nasty boy :angel:

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Terrible phrasing, I can only assume given her previous that she did it on purpose

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

You can assume anything you like, but thats all it is, an assumption.

I know little of this person, but from what I read, seems just as likely that people are looking for any excuse, and making something out of nothing.

I'm quite sure people are looking for "final solutions" to problems all the time, without anyone giving the phrase a second thought.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

It's hard not to read as 'the' final solution, especially given her record for trying to provoke people. I don't think I am alone in what I understand that phrasing to mean given how infamous it is. It appears LBC did too.

People like Hopkins seek to provoke by pushing it and pushing it and oftentimes they step too far.

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

Really, I don't think I've ever had the thought, what this situation needs right now is a final solution, have you ever thought those exact words? They're not words most people would associate together unless they're thinking of nazis

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

well i have to admit my first reaction was not lets light a candle sing songs or praise our multiculturalism it was to say the least quite brutal and expressed the fact that i have had enough of this bloody religion and it's idiot followers

Re: Katie Hopkins loses libel case
 

I was thinking more in general to a variety of different scenarios even mundane things like losing keys. I'm not sure about the candle lit vigils that take place after atrocities, think I lean more toward not being a fan of them or not being a fan of the attention they garner to be specific
