[News] Laurence Fox Loses Libel Case

[Hamilton]

On a similar legal note, I’d love the plaintiffs here to win damages.

Reminiscent of rent-a-gob Alex Jones losing his case for lying about Sandy Hook.

The law needs to start holding both individual actors AND the platforms that give them a voice to account.

It’s simply not ok for us to keep allowing X (formerly known as Twitter*) and Facebook to get away with the argument that they are not the publishers of the content.

In the past, platforms like newspapers and TV have been held accountable for content. Social media platforms should be no different.

NSC are quick to clamp down on defamatory statements. We need to see social media platforms stamping out the same statements just as fast.



*this parenthesis should be added at all times, if only to annoy Elon.

He literally has just repeated the claim - endorsed by GB News presenters of course. Thick as mince

Laurence Fox's brother in Law is Richard Ayoade.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during the mince pies this Christmas.

My thoughts and prayers to all those right wing white people that have faced racist abuse.

A reminder to NSC, should you need it, that accusing someone of something without any proof might just lose you everything.

There's been a disturbing increase in unfounded accusations of noncery on X, most recently with Joey Barton calling Jeremy Vine #BikeNonce repeatedly.

Will it stop here? Seems to be the only tactic the gammon shock jocks have.

Laurence Fox loses libel battle with Twitter users he called paedophiles

Reclaim party founder defamed two men on site now known as X after they called him a racist, judge rules

Bless ‘em. Says so much about this sort of individual and their intelligence that they very quickly resort to name calling and slander.

Mad.

I was in Oxford nearly eleven years ago on my first date with Mrs T, in a swanky bistro. Lozza was at the bar (this was lunchtime) drinking on his own and fiddling with his phone. Then going out for a fag. Then twitching back to his perch. Like a jilted teenager, or someone trying to refinance a turf account shortfall. Looked unhinged. I was visibly shocked.

As someone who is partial to a lunchtime Peroni and spends most of his spare time trading on Betfair, I fear this could also equally apply to me.

I'm more of a wood pub man though. I wouldn't be seen dead in a swanky bistro unless it had the horse racing on.

Kerching!

Mrs Justice Collins Rice says the actor's comments were "gross, groundless and indefensible".

The remarks on X, formerly Twitter, came in an exchange about Sainsbury's marking Black History Month

A cause worthy of starting a row over, eventually resulting in losing £180,000.

Still at least now he can only afford to shop in Lidl.

If he still lives where he was living there is a handy one just up the road.

Stalker ? Nope, if you spend your entire career posting videos it doesn't take long for us Londoners to recognise a street.

And no, I won't be posting it on here. Unlike him, I respect his right to privacy.

Oh yes. This could be genuinely brilliant.

Abbot?
