Mukhtar Ali Yasim: small-time actor turned political activist.
Got into a fight on Xitter, during which Mukhtar called Fox some not-nice-names. Fox started a libel action. Fox, for reasons, decided to stop the libel action and tried to negotiate an end to it with Mukhtar. Mukhtar declined to let it drop quietly and insisted on it being formally dismissed with Lozza Fox paying him £1,000s in legal costs.
N.B. Fox is going around telling anyone who will listen that he has decided to ‘discontinue’ his libel action but that description is not entirely congruent with reality. He may have wanted to merely discontinue and walk away, but the only way he could make it stop was to agree to Mukhtar’s demand for formal dismissal. Which, in legal terms, is tantamount to Lozza accepting he lost the case. Diddums.
