Katie Hopkins

[noseall]

No the defamation was never denied. The damages were disputed. It was common ground that Hopkins had posted what she posted and that it was not true.

The argument was over the harm caused.

Not what I asked or why the case proceeded, but thanks anyway.

However, Notch and Carmen etc had it spot on as to why she decided to sue ...

Jack Monroe, a food writer and activist, sued columnist Katie Hopkins for libel in 2017. The case arose after Hopkins falsely accused Monroe on Twitter of vandalizing a war memorial or condoning such behavior. Hopkins had mistaken Monroe for another writer, Laurie Penny, who had commented on the vandalism of a memorial during an anti-austerity protest. Monroe requested an apology and a donation to charity, but Hopkins refused, leading to the lawsuit.

It literally says “Hopkins had mistaken monroe”. Which is what Pete said and the judgement dozens of times. Which caused you to post a picture of you wetting your pants laughing.

Turns out Pete was 100% correct.
Turns out nosenout looks a fool. Again.

It literally says “Hopkins had mistaken monroe”.

It literally will along with a plethora of other banal things that were said or written before (and after) she decided to sue.
It makes no odds. She decided to sue once Hopkins refused to back down and apologise...

So Pete was right then. Or do you want to keep grizzling for another few posts?

I'm under no illusions as to why she decided to sue, but you obviously are.....

“Hopkins had mistaken monroe”.

There is no tweet indicating that

There is no tweet indicating that

I thought there was:

But 12 days later, on Tuesday 2 June 2015, at 6.58am Ms Hopkins tweeted “@MsJackMonroe I was confused about identity. I got it wrong.”

There was no mistaken identity.

You are wrong

Katie Hopkins knew who Laurie Penny was and had been tweeting about her previously….so it clearly was not mistaken identity, it was simply that Hopkins sent it to Jack Monroe in error. That had nothing whatsoever to,do with the court case, which is why Noseall was laughing at Petal01s post.

I thought there was:

Yes, Katie Hopkins made the claim of mistaken identity, but that can’t be true, Hopkins had been tweeting repeatedly about Laurie Penny, so the fact she knew who she was meant she couldn’t be mistaking her for somebody else.

Hopkins tweet:
“But 12 days later, on Tuesday 2 June 2015, at 6.58am Ms Hopkins tweeted “@MsJackMonroe I was confused about identity. I got it wrong”

Was clearly an attempt by Hopkins to use ‘mistaken identity’ as an excuse to try and get her off the hook without apologising…..which failed spectacularly.

We will never know because Hopkins didn't give any evidence. The other interpretation is that Hopkins didn't actually know who @PennyRed was. And had somehow got it into her mind that PennyRed was actually Jack Monroe, using a second twitter handle. And she was sort of "outing" her second identity when she tweeted:

“@MsJackMonroe scrawled on any memorials recently? Vandalised the memory of those who fought for your freedom. Grandma got any more medals?”

The whole thing is certainly very weird.

Was it June 2016 when 51% of the passengers on the Titanic voted for the iceberg ?

51% went for the lifeboats.

 

[noseall]

51% went for the lifeboats.

I don't think you've seen the brexitanic outcome, have you?

It's still sunk boyo.

Not really. Once Hopkins had a lesbian in her sights, it didn't matter what her name was. The blundering foghorn, messed with the wrong people.

It doesn't really matter what you think or believe. The mistaken identity was accepted by the claimant and the Judge. The letter before action, confirms it. The tweet response confirms it and the Judgment mentions it half a dozens times. Therefore Pete's analysis was 100% accurate.

The more you two grizzle about being wrong, the dumber you both look.

What matters is FACT

This is a FACT: Katie Hopkins knew Laurie Penny she had been tweeting about her quite a few times before hand.
This is FACT: the legal action has nothing to do with the so called ‘mistaken identity’ it was immaterial.

was accepted

Yes they accepted the claimed lead up to the situation because it was immaterial to the case

Thank you for proving you are WRONG.
