Well, the accusations are there everyone to see, he did it and he has no defence for it

..yeah, I do think that Laurence Fox is playing a dangerous game atm...it can be played for a while in ‘feeding off prejudice’ but it’s not a game that gives any wins in the end, as it hasn’t for Katie...it’s a very ‘short game’, I think and it may make him unemployable or much less employable etc...

It was on a public forum on the internet yes, I think it was Twitter, but whether it was or not is slightly irrelevant in these cases

Good, I hope they take everything that failed actor has.
Libel is libel, if you call someone a peadophile as a random retort and that post is likely to be seen by a lot of people then it can cause damage by people who will take it at face value and anyone who follows that twat probably is gullible enough to believe everything he says. Calling two well known LGBT activists peadophiles with no reason or rhyme to it is pure homophobia. There's no downplaying this as some spat on Social Media. |

I think there's a pretty distinct line between being called a racist and a paedophile. One is a crime and the other is not; implying someone is a paedophile is literally accusing them of crimes they have not committed. There was a recent case with Justin Bieber I think, where he sued two women who made up allegations (on Twitter) that he had raped them, and I believe that was successful. Being called a racist is unpleasant (if you aren't one, anyway, so that doesn't apply here) but it isn't false witness.

Also, you are literally missing my whole point here, as usual.

Let’s not forget Cliff Richard suing the dicks off of the British media and police for what happened to him

What did his tweets actually say? Was it something like "a load of paedos are moaning at me" or did he directly call those two people paedos?

It doesn't matter that you mentioned false accusations out of obligation because you've downplayed these accusations of insults by being all like 'But if everyone sues each other over insults, the system will collapse1!!11!' Falsely accusing someone of a crime is punishable by civil law and has been for decades, the system hasn't crashed and burned yet because most people don't go around accusing people of being peadophiles, and it won't crash and burn if Crystal gets her justice. It's all just hysteria on your part in an attempt to talk down what is a valid case. |

1. He's wrong - Yes 2. He should get sued - Yes 3. They should win - Yes Im just stating it won't be that easy, considering twitter is a cesspool for 'false accusations' every day. But you're arguing something i agree with you on, so don't see the point in continuing debating because it'll go nowhere. There's a bigger picture here, just because i choose to look at this from every angle doesn't mean im downplaying anything.

Just don’t see why because he is racist his past successes are now regarded as failures I also think suing people over tweets and insults is extremely childish and exactly the ‘woke’ culture he is talking about. Normal people just brush it off and know it’s someone clutching at straws when they’re insulting them. Everyone has been insulted or called something malicilously or as a joke before. ActualMy suing someone is pretty pathetic and a waste of other peoples time imo Last edited by DouglasS; 07-10-2020 at 09:40 PM. |

Swan is clearly saying that probably hundreds of people a day on Twitter are accused of things or called a paedo when they are not as an insult. All these hundreds of people just ignore it and block it, or laugh it off... Since when has the nation Been filled with baby snowflakes that cry at any insult (even if it is defamation) and go to the law/civil case Last edited by DouglasS; 07-10-2020 at 09:43 PM. |
