Post from David Paisley on bluesky on Feb 5th. See also a summary screenshot of the statements.

"The High Court has ruled in my defamation case against Graham Linehan, finding that the statements he published were defamatory at common law. Huge thanks to my legal team for their support throughout this process. You can read the full judgment here:

caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/kb/2025/228"

Hopefully IMO this judgement along with the UK's Online Safety Bill should send a message and clear up any ambiguity that unfounded accusations made against gay or trans people may be defamation with legal consequences, and that platforms now have legal responsibility over the content they publish.

The heading here is misleading and I wonder if the poster would consider changing it?

It clearly states at the start that it is the 2nd judgement of preliminary issues. No one has won or lost the case yet if that is the latest news.

The OP is a TRA and isn’t interested in accurate representation of the case, only in trying to throw shade on anyone who campaigns for the rights of women as a sex class.

Glasshouse, dear. Glasshouse.

Do you mean - look at the lovely seedlings you’re cultivating in this lush nursery? Because I agree, but can’t take all the credit. In fact, to be fair, it’s often people like the OP who peak ordinary readers and grow our ranks for us. Like a lovely manure.
