But people are like “Ha ha ha £1 the court clearly does not believe them and is mocking them haha cockadoodledoooooo.”

Load of nonsense.

If the court didn’t believe them the court would have ruled against them and not upheld the claim. They wouldn’t have ruled in their favour but only given £1 damages in some sort of playground “psyche!!!” prank for goodness sakes.

People just don’t understand the purpose or significance of the £1 damages so they make up their own (daft) explanation.

Some of us no full well what’s going on.

Offering a pound is a bit of an insult, worse than not giving anything...

It was meant as an insult…

she was suing for damages, she won, and the court decided that she was so damaged by the revelations in the newspaper that it warranted her receiving £1

Frivolous law suit is the phrase that comes to my mind

I don’t suppose her loss of memory helped…when she dictated the wording “in case it got into the hands of the press”

A fair bit of selective jibing at this actually.

The article clearly states that the media organisation will further pay an UNSPECIFIED sum to her for infringement of HER copyright.

I'd like to know what that sum is!!

For Meghan Markle, she has fought and won this, she hardly needs finances, the victory is and will remain hers, no matter how that upsets those who maybe hoped she'd be unsuccessful.

I would also like to know how much that payment is...

I'm assuming its ginaormius and would make her look like a money hungry bitch, so she has stopped it becoming public..the 1 pound however, makes her look hard done by, so she has no problems with it being revealed.

It's her own fault.

But is it really?

From all accounts I just see the Media and the public just ripping her apart for anything (including a miscarriage fgs) the only thing where I can't tell if Meghan was in the wrong is ultimately if her & Kate's feud led to Harry & William to fall out with each other.

But the public & the Media have been the aggressors against H&M every step of the way imo, and until one of those two does something to change my mind on that then I'll defend them and say that it's "not their fault" that this country likes to single people out to harass, but of course everyone else in the country is a saint bar H&M in some people's eyes.

I bet that our Media even prefers some criminals to Meghan, it's become that much of a sickness for them.

She won the case....good for her. However she was actually the biggest loser because once again the case exploited her ability to lie and manipulate the truth once again....and please dont tell me that she doesn't need the money because only a year ago they were moaning about being cut off financially from Prince Charles.
Money breeds money...you can never have enough of it when you adapt to a certain life style.

If as you say 'I' haven't to say, she doesn't need finances, then please follow your own advice and not then to myself present as full knowledge your view in you saying she does.
I don't care a jot as to monies involved.

She won the case, that was her main aim.
That has been achieved.
I will always applaud victories against any gutter press.
So well done to her in my view for never backing down on this and ALSO deemed in law to be right.

She won the case only because the MOS published too much of the letter instead of only parts relevant to her father wanting to answer the accusations made against him.
I personally couldn’t applaud anyone who schemed to allow 4 of her friends to reveal parts of the letter to the press which painted her father in a bad light and which were shown to be lies/out of context in subsequent emails revealed in court.

I personally couldn’t applaud anyone who withheld important documents from the court; therefore was in contempt of court, and outright lied about participation in the book, never mind all the other lies, manipulations and chaos she has caused previously.
As the present law dictates, she won the case on a technicality, but I certainly wouldn’t be applauding someone so devious as to use the press herself when it suits her to lie to the public to get their misplaced sympathies by deception.
But each to their own of course.

What????

I merely commented on your comment "she hardly needs the money" and I beg to differ....

Meg
[will receive £1 in damages from Associated Newspapers]

how very nice

"She just wanted to establish a principle and get her legal costs paid, although she may well still be a half a million pounds out of pocket as a result of this process."
..........

Being exposed as the lying schemer she is cost her around half a million. Happy days.

Good post jet..very true.

Hasn't Harry been £1-ing her every night anyway?

Sexual innuendos aside, why did the Daily Fail fabricate details in this case? If you don't want controversy then at least report the facts.

Facts in the Daily Mail.
I don't think we'll ever see that day Mock.

It's just about taken over from the Sun as the truly worst of gutter trash as to publications.

I won't insult the word ' news' as to term it a (news) paper.
It should be only on any fiction stands in retail outlets in my view.

I agree with all that you say here Joey.

I'm sure that at one time many years ago that DM had good intentions, but sadly has become corrupted by the Murdoch era.

Well we can try doing a Rule Britannia remix with their groaning added in.
