Joey Barton's Jeremy Vine posts defamatory, High Court rules

Jeremy Vine sued Joey Barton for libel and harassment over a series of social media posts.

Whole thing is like a parody. Favourite line is

a reader would have understood the word "bike" to be a "meaningless aspect of the accusation", used only as an indication that this was a label attached to Mr Vine, who was known as a cyclist, "without detracting from the operative word 'nonce'."

Was just going to post about this.
Beginning to look like this might be a bit expensive for Mr Barton.

So he advocating pre stonewall riot legislation?

A reduction in peoples legal rights and more big government that he often cries about.

That was either filmed on his birthday or the morning after , I can’t imagine his thought processes . I can’t decide if it makes me angry or laugh at the tragic patheticness of if

Yup, the same guy who turned up to a protest wearing a pair of Nike a day after he vowed to boycott them.

It’s almost as if… bear with me here… he doesn’t believe a word of his own ravings and that he’s just a really bad con man.
Or he could just be incredibly stupid… or both…

Wonder how badly scorched his decking ended up?

I note grifty mcgriftface Farage is being 'controversial' again. Moving towards sectarian politics apparently.

Agree with that, its all about making money. Total coward too burning it in his garden too see how doing that hate crime in public would work out for him.

More so than the times he was tricked into saying "Up the Ra" and "Tiocfaidh ar la"?
