Hopkins is on YouTube now unfortunately - has her own channel on which she continues to spout her bile and aim her venom at all her usual folk devils.

I'm surprised Vine didn't take legal action, didn't she in a roundabout way imply it was him regarding the BBC presenter allegations ?

MavisMcMinty · 21/07/2023 16:54

Imagine how soul-destroying it must be to HAVE to be hateful for every penny of your income. Nobody wants Hopkins to say nice agreeable things or indeed to BE nice and agreeable. People only want Hatie Katie.

He has just won one stalker case that was awful, maybe he did. Hope so.

I thought KH had faded into obscurity totally, I haven't heard about her since being deported, she must have a niche audience on youtube!

'Behold Wootton, a sideboard made of ham, with efit eyes, dropping quotable quotes so fast there was no way you could possibly digest the last one before the next one was being gnashed out through his veneers'

Yes Marina really displays classy and professional 'journalism'.

You're right, she really is an excellent and very perceptive writer.

Yes, imagine living your life like that. Her kids must be teens now, it must have an effect on them surely.

To have so much hate inside you must be truly awful.

'Imagine how soul-destroying it must be to HAVE to be hateful for every penny of your income'

I know it's like Hyde calling Wootton a side of ham and harping on about his veneers. Must be very proud of this 'reporting'.

DuncinToffee · 21/07/2023 17:33

Update Three: as well as the security threats, we of course face legal challenges to our reporting which we will counter.

This was sent by Wootton's lawyers to a raft of other news organisations in an attempt to chill their follow-up reporting.

To us, this looks like SLAPP

No-one who has read both could seriously believe they were remotely comparable.

Hyde's writing is infinitely more intelligent, too.

Anxioys · 21/07/2023 18:21

Hyde was very witty, taking Wootton's faux style and playing it back at him. Clever and of course deserved.

CarlosAlcaraz · 21/07/2023 18:30

Why isn't this being more widely reported? Are all other media outlets too scared of the repercussions? Or are they protecting someone else? Is it because there may be connections to the RF ?

MavisMcMinty · 21/07/2023 18:31

In a way I hope Wootton HASN’T done what he’s accused of, because it’s more fitting, more karma, more natural justice if he’s subjected to a wholly unwarranted attack, like he does to others.

Interesting perspective.

I’d guess it’s more to do with connections to RM and news corp over that tbh. The old man has billions at his disposal to play with.

CrazyArmadilloLady · 21/07/2023 19:48

Thank God Dan’s got you valiantly and relentlessly going in to bat for him. I’m sure he’s ever so grateful.

DuncinToffee · 21/07/2023 19:57

Wootton is crowdfunding for his legalcase against Bylines in case posters are interested Wink

MavisMcMinty · 21/07/2023 19:58

Heh, I’m sure a few of his defenders on this thread will be reaching for their credit cards to save poor old Desperate Dan.

CarlosAlcaraz · 21/07/2023 20:22

I've just seen this ! I thought it might be a fake account, if it's real doesn't DW block and delete anyone who says anything against him? ( disclaimer: I don't really know how Twitter works)

CarlosAlcaraz · 21/07/2023 20:44

I wonder why GB News isn't coughing up his legal fees ? Is he self employed?

Because presumably they have worked out that since he wasn't employed by them at the time, they have no responsibility. Why should they pay fees for any misconduct that is nothing to do with them? If it had happened when he was employed or contracted then they wouldn't be responsible either.

Yes that's true. Maybe he should just wait until the investigation is over and his name is cleared and then he can sue , I'm sure the lawyers would help him with a no win no fee deal.

Anxioys · 21/07/2023 22:06

Crowdfunding your legal fees is a bit odd in his position. He should have enough to sue Byline without. A clear case would not be expensive.

If on the other hand you were worried you would need to defend yourself against a claim and that would be expensive, you might try and cadge money from people.

newnamethanks · 21/07/2023 22:56

Danny boy won't be risking his own money on this when he has stalwart defenders like some on here to crowdfund him.
