AIBU to hope for a libel trial as entertaining as Vardy v Rooney and an outcome that rivals the Katy Hopkins debacle?
AIBU?

The type of person who makes unpleasant comments about the death of a disabled child should probably crawl back into the hole she, sorry, THEY came out of

And why must he be wrong ? Because you say so , really ?
Only yesterday in the paper they interviewed two ladies who had attended the course and both said it was invaluable. One said she used to wander around the shops not knowing what to buy and now she goes armed with an ingredients list and makes home cooked food .
How can that possibly be wrong , oh yes because the left wing facials tell us , OMG

He may have "an awful lot of support" for his mistaken and jaundiced opinion. That doesn't make it true. I would have thought you might know that.

Can anyone explain why it is fine and innovative for Monroe to suggest people buy from value ranges and batch cook but disgusting and insensitive when Tories say it.

That's what the no-win no-fee is there for.

Poor people can't afford solicitors' fees for defamation cases.

I'm no fan of Lee Anderson, but he is my MP.
Until about four year ago he was labour. He was also a coal miner straight out of school for ten years and he grew up in an very deprived area. I don't know what his family life was like but there are no 'good bits' of that area.
There is a special blue light in the toilets in Asda so you can't see your veins and shoot up.
I work in a school right where he grew up. Our children have to brush their teeth at school as they don't do it at home. It is not an area of wealth.

@hattie43 sorry I was agreeing with you there, not being sarky. She comes from a pretty comfortable background.

She is very mentally unwell she says so herself. She is a good writer but some (a lot) of it is just manic ranting. She very much views herself as a working class hero. She sent her son to school hungry and she has admitted this she could have asked school and church etc for help but felt too ashamed. She has been an alcoholic again with a very young child. This is stuff she has admitted to. I find her self obsessed and wonder where the child she has fits into this and gets his needs met. She said some bloody awful thing about David Cameron’s dead son which was unforgivable. She is no saint.

She was let go from a Sainsbury's promo a few years ago because of this awful tweet about the death of David Cameron's son

Lol defamation lawyers don't work on a no win no fee basis. It's not like medical negligence or personal injury where someone might genuinely need money because a horrible thing has happened to them. Nobody ever needs to start defamation action.
roarfeckingroarr · 15/05/2022 17:30
Yes please
