It was judged to be a fair opinion I believe.

So the point made, stands

Seems a fair assessment to me! What's he moaning about.

 

[JohnD]

He's a Brexer. They all do it if you make a factual comment.

He's a Brexer.

Typical brexer. Convince the moron population to vote for millionaires to become even richer and leave the serfs with the shít.

Brexit - utter pile of dung.

Maybe he will appeal the decision, maybe he's just sucking it up.

Not according to the report I read, of the defence case.

It was an opinion piece. The opinion was allowed and accepted.

Yep. The judge said that what was written was pretty much truthful.

 

[blup]

Did the case consider whether the promised benefits of post brexhit Britain had been delivered?

No, I thought not. Is there going to be a brexhit public inquiry?

Blup

No need. Everyone can see Brexit is shít. Brexit liars have been sacked or lost their potency. Shamed Boris now languishes in the gutter, a Daily Fail hack.

Both perhaps?

"The claimant having failed on the issue of 'serious harm' and the defendant having succeeded on its honest opinion defence, this claim must be dismissed," the judge said.
