How often has Katie
 upset the lefties?Hundreds of times and high hundreds at that. How often have they got their own back? Once for certain. I hereby declare Katie the winner by a country mile. |

So like she tweeted to the wrong name by accident, then deleted it, and she gets done for the price of a house?
The world has gone mad. (Awaits the world suing for emotional distress) |

By:
Yep, still laughing Aka.

The real criminals in this case are the legal profession.
How can they justify those fees. They seem to have formed an alliance with the judiciary. Any time the State is being sued they pile on the expenses with the tacit approval of the judiciary. |
|
By:
We need a lot more in the public domain speaking out about all manner of issues.

I love how the defenders of free speech want to stop free speech.

There have always been limits to free speech, libel being one of them.
Hth. |
|
By:
The disgrace is how these trials cost so much. Its nothing more than theft really.
|
|
By:
One of the reasons why her hate filled diatribes haven't been challenged as often as they should.
|
|
By:
^ spot on
|
|
By:
I think bringing the issues into the lime light, which very few outlets seem to wish because of offending someone or losing votes, is to be applauded.
|
|
By:
No problem with that so long as you don't tell lies about people.
That's libel. |
|
By:
Almost nobody on tv media wants to discuss certain issues and certain cults and how they behave.
|
|
By:
Not sure what that has to do with this particular case where Hopkins accused this woman of defacing a war memorial.
|
|
By:
doesnt stop them ranting about it
|

Quick check with the good people posting, on behalf of Akabula.
Still laughing? |

In a society and tv media which is trying to shut down the discussion I am glad someone is prepared to speak out.
|
|
By:
so are the libel lawyers
|
|
By:
I am quite happy to see issues raised for debate
|
|
By:
not allowed to bet - with respect, you seem to have missed the main point of this thread. The issue here is not about raising issues for debate, or even shutting down discussion. It is about telling lies about people, which you cannot do under current law. What bit of this did you not understand.
|
|
By:
WELL yes you are right, but I don't think one fk up should reflect on someone who raises issues everybody is scared to raise.
all the best One **** up is used to flog her and therefore make the issues she raises as irrelevent. The deabate MUST continue. |

Why would the Daily Fail pay for her expenses/fines in this matter? This case has nothing to do with this paper has it? It's her own personal tweetings that have got her into trouble I thought - nothing to do with the paper.
|
|
By:
possibly contracted to them to keep their readers happy whilst
not directly publishing her rantings as part of their agenda |
|
By:
Can't say I like the girl but the fine seems a dangerous step to suppressing comment,free speech is a precious aspect and the rush to take offence can affect both left and right wings of the spectrum,only the lawyers will benefit.
|
|
By:
The person libelled in this case was prepared to accept an apology plus a £5k donation to charity from Hopkins. Ms Hopkins refused this offer and chose to go to trial, which I'm sure the judge took into account when determining her fine and costs.

By:
treetop - free speech does not allow you to tell lies about individuals.
That's called libel. Hth. |
|
By:
24 k for libel doesnt seem high tenpins
had the victim been more famous i'm sure damages would be higher freedom of speech doesnt include right to falsely accuse folk with no comeback |
|
By:
treetop not tenpins , easy mistake to make !
