Not good Few days for Right Wingers and Libel Cases 14:00 - Mar 6 with 820 viewsKievthegreat

- Michele Donelan (current Sciences Minister) - had to pay out (well actually us as taxpayer had to pay) for her to settle her case when she accused an academic of being pro-Hamas and another of sharing extremist views.

- Baroness Jacqueline Foster (Tory Peer) - had to pay out "substantial damages" to a student on university challenge after baselessly accusing her of spreading antisemitism because she had an octopus as their mascot.

- Laurence Fox (Racist) - has had his case dismissed after someone called him a racist and ended up paying some of the defendants legal fees. a Twitter user called Fox a racist, doubled down on it, Fox has tried to sue him, but has given up and paid out to the twitter user.

That Baroness Foster story is strange enough.
Hopefully it results in more people, especially politicians considering the dangers of misusing and weaponising racism.

Should be an automatic ban from politics for life if you libel someone in that manner.

What sort of simpleton gets upset about a soft toy?

Perhaps Barrenhead Foster will next be targeting Octopus Energy.

I believe similar accusations of anti-semitism were thrown at Greta Thunberg recently for having an octopus toy and posting her support for Palestinians suffering in Gaza.
I’m sure someone will be along shortly though, to educate us on the very real trauma of seeing young climate activists and eight limbed molluscs mentioned in the same thread.
