Jack Monroe asked for a retraction and an apology for the tweet. She didn’t get one so she sued. ( fir the want of an apology a trial was lost)
Katie lost her job, then another job after loosing the trial.
After loosing the trial, being ordered to pay costs of both sides and loosing her job she has had to put her house on the market. Get it? I think it’s a great tweet.

BUT better than that!! I’m detached with five bedrooms. Do I live in a mansion too or is it a palace??

MimsyFluff · 19/01/2018 16:52

If Exeter is now in London can I pretend say I live in London? Were up north but what's a few miles

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 19/01/2018 16:53

Where is Jack Monroe crowing about KH losing her house? I wouldn't blame her if she was, but I haven't seen it.

You live by the sword, you die by the sword. No sympathy at all. She has to pay 24k damages and 107k costs, I believe.

Hygge · 19/01/2018 16:53

I don't like either of them, and I can't remember what KH said about JM.

The only surprise about this is that it hasn't happened a lot sooner considering the way KH likes to give her opinion on everything.

That said, this must be horrible for her children and I feel quite sad for them, but I can''s work up much sympathy for KH herself.

JM's response does seem a little gloating. A simple comment saying it's a shame it came to this when an apology might have prevented it would have done.

ToadOfSadness · 19/01/2018 16:53

If that's a mansion, then so is mine, it has 5 bedrooms.

People attract what they give out.

megletthesecond · 19/01/2018 16:54

It's entirely her own fault. If she had an ounce of sense she should have seen it coming and reined it in.

fleshmarketclose · 19/01/2018 16:54

Migraine inducing carpet and wall in the music room. It looks like the bathroom was carpeted with an offcut from downstairs which begs the question why? The rest of it is pretty meh isn't it?

BattleCuntGalactica · 19/01/2018 16:55

Jack is a bloody legend.

snash12 · 19/01/2018 16:55

I'm not a fan of KH but really £107k fine for a tweet". That's ridiculous.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 19/01/2018 16:59

Approximately 2hrs from Exeter to Paddington is stretching it a bit, isn’t it?

Some trains might only Take 2hrs but that’s not usual.

ProperLavs · 19/01/2018 16:59

Good. The vile woman thought she was untouchable. I'm glad she's been made to pay. If I were Jm I would be bloody gloating.

thecatfromjapan · 19/01/2018 17:00

Stone Katie Hopkins became an expensive liability for the Daily Mail -
they were publishing her libellous rubbish - and lost her job as a Professional Troll and Attacker of the Vulnerable.

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 19/01/2018 17:01

No, £107k expenses incurred by the other side. KH was given several chances to back down, apologise and admit she had accused JM of something she hadn't done (KH had her confused with someone else). She took none of them. Why should JM pay her lawyers for something she didn't start?

Deshasafraisy · 19/01/2018 17:04

Karma. That devil had it coming.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/01/2018 17:05

Üell it could have been resolved üith an apology, and retractment of the tweet.
However Katie is a very proud üomen üho doesn't back down.

I don't think I üould (backdoün) either, if im to be 100% honest. That's ühy I think before i speak. It's not difficult.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 19/01/2018 17:05

No sympathy for KH but I feel sorry for her kids.
Mind you, I've always felt sorry for her kids having her as a mother

hibbledibble · 19/01/2018 17:06

Lol. That's no mansion. It is incredibly tasteless though.

Reading the details of the case, I have no sympathy for Hopkins. Monroe asked for an apology, Hopkinds refused. Only then did Monroe take up the libel case.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 19/01/2018 17:06

Hopkins deserves every shit fest that comes her way.

Number of bedrooms doesn’t equal mansion. I’ve seen 5 bed houses on tiny footprints. At least this is a decent size 5 bed.

£350k in costs? Ouch. Excellent news Grin

I’m no fan of monroe but good on her.

Sidelook · 19/01/2018 17:09

She lost her job on LBC, may have been because of this! Karma was going to catch up with her at some point.

HairyBallTheorem · 19/01/2018 17:11

Does an attack of schadenfreude count as a form of caring?

(After her likening refugees to cockroaches I don't even feel the slightest twinge about my somewhat gloaty feelings).

My top thoughts on the "mansion" - what sort of a monster leans a musical instrument against a radiator?

Mogginthemog · 19/01/2018 17:13

She totally deserves it (but her kids don’t ). If you build an entire career around saying and writing vile, racist, judgemental shite then when anything proves to be slanderous or libellous, the people on the receiving end will no doubt receive great satisfaction in suing her for it if they can.

I thought JMs little poem was quite clever, though it would have been more dignified to stay silent in the knowledge that she’s won.

FurCoatFurKnickers · 19/01/2018 17:16

It's her holiday home.

Her main home is in London.

Mogginthemog · 19/01/2018 17:17

Furcoat oh that’s a shame

letsdolunch321 · 19/01/2018 17:17

She is one irritating bitch. Karma has smacked her in the mouth. RESULT

FurCoatFurKnickers · 19/01/2018 17:19

IGNORE PREVIOUS COMMENT

I was wrong.

That badly decorated place IS her main home.
