[News] Laurence Fox Loses Libel Case

[Guinness Boy]

A reminder to NSC, should you need it, that accusing someone of something without any proof might just lose you everything.

There's been a disturbing increase in unfounded accusations of noncery on X, most recently with Joey Barton calling Jeremy Vine #BikeNonce repeatedly.

Will it stop here? Seems to be the only tactic the gammon shock jocks have.

Wanker. Protected statement of opinion!

He was good in Lewis, should stick to acting

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I reckon I can normally spot if someone is grifting weird and wonderful opinions for cash ala Hopkins or is genuinely unhinged. I think Fox found a GB news niche and thought he'd be clever exploiting it but then part of me thinks he is a can short of a six pack and spends his evenings with Le Tissier "doing his own research"

Mad or grifter? You decide. Could make a good gameshow.

He was an annoying twat in that, and that's his high point

Oh yes. This could be genuinely brilliant.

I've never liked him.

 

[clapham_gull]

They are many commentators / journalists making exactly the same points he makes but not in a way that ends them up in court.

It really isn't that difficult.

Nice little summary here.

A pity Big Kev retired. Great series. Like Morse, but without the misogyny.

I would have gladly watched a series with Hathaway as lead. Sadly the nobby twat decided to tank himself for real, instead. Sad.

Mad.

I was in Oxford nearly eleven years ago on my first date with Mrs T, in a swanky bistro. Lozza was at the bar (this was lunchtime) drinking on his own and fiddling with his phone. Then going out for a fag. Then twitching back to his perch. Like a jilted teenager, or someone trying to refinance a turf account shortfall. Looked unhinged. I was visibly shocked.

You forgot colonic irrigation. Using a genuine agricultural water delivery system for a 1,000 acre field of thirsty sweetcorn. No resistance to high velocity flow anticipated. Apart from Lozza's thready colon, caecum and, let's face it, his ordinarily reticent duodenum. Possibly even the high ground of the ileum. Could be spectacularly Mr Creosotey.

Talking of Morse, John Thaw's first wife is historian and feminist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Alexander.

She talk me feminist history at the then called East London Polytechnic.

Her and Fox would have got on like a house on fire.

 

[Pevenseagull]

...I'd pretty much forgotten all about them.

Glad to see it's going well for it.

 

[Weststander]

On a similar legal note, I’d love the plaintiffs here to win damages.

Reminiscent of rent-a-gob Alex Jones losing his case for lying about Sandy Hook.

 

[Simster]

Since being exposed as a nasty alt right idiot who says "who'd want to shag that?" on live tv about a woman who has the temerity to be feminist, I'm afraid his acting roles have dried up.

What a shame.
