Good.

Hatey Cockpins

I thike lis name.

[Polar Bear]

I can only hope that the court judgement today will have a moderating effect on social media nastiness.

Somehow I doubt it.

[hatler]

And she's back and twatting tweeting.

Vile faecal smear on the arse of humanity argues:
1. Twitter can't be libellous.
2. She's a twat, and that's what twats do, so it can't be libellous.

Hopkins: the 'justification' defence for defamation is meant to apply to what you say about the plaintiff, not what you are

Somebody might like to remind Ms Cockpins of this:

It didn't end well for Bercow

Bercow said: "The High Court found that my tweet constituted a serious libel...

Didn't end well for Hopkins either. Hah!

Cool.

What about costs though ? I imagine it costs more than 25k to bring a libel action successfully.

She's already been ordered to pay over £100k for the bill, with the expected legal costs somewhere in the region of £300k. What a shame

[rogerzilla]

Small change for the BQFH.

[hatler]

Even cooler. The Beeb article didn't have those figures earlier on.

I had it in the back of my mind that for libel cases, costs couldn't be awarded.

This was just made for Nelson

Though, of course, keen observers of Supertwattery will note those names having come up before, so they all have credentials.

Idiot Duncan Smith, on the radio this morning:
"We believe that countries in the Union are better off staying in the Union."

 

[Bledlow]

That's not what he was saying before the referendum last June. When did he become in favour of Remain?

[citoyen]

Exactly what I would be asking him if I were Nicola Sturgeon.

As a politician, he reserves the right to talk complete bollocks and change his mind.

In fact, isn't it in the job description?

And per these screencaps posted by MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin, being praised by David Duke is a sure sign of being a waste of genetic material: https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/841014593669468160

There's a Just Giving Page set up to meet her costs.

(No, there isn't. There's a Just Giving Page set up by Southend News Network, which at first glance says it's to meet Ms Hopkins costs. In reality it's going to the Trussell Trust)

Very prescient of NWA to write "Fear Of A Black Planet" about him all those years ago.

Public Enemy!  Even I know that.  NWA's magnum opus was Fuck Tha Police.

Don't they all look the same?

John Cleese, for doing an ambulance-chasing PPI advert.  Is he that desperate?

Katie Hopkins

[Mr Larrington]

Has Hatey Cockpins made a tit of herself yet again, Vince, or is this just for sustained Super-Twattery over a number of years, a sort of Lifetime Achievement Award?

[Vince]

She was interviewed on Radio 4 yesterday and was trying to make out that she had nothing to be ashamed of and it was all an over reaction by the wronged party.
TBH it was the first time I had heard he speak and now I feel her position in this thread is only eclipsed by Piers 'Complete Bellend' Morgan.
