But of course they can't say that anymore because it isn't PC. Years ago they used to bladdy dawb it on walls and houses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s very good at taking her knockers down. Ultimately though she is relaying a story that she claims the woman at the Legion told her about being bullied and threatened with funding cuts by council members. So maybe Energy FM will next interview the people at the legion as well next to see if what was attributed to them by KH is true or not? If I was a councilor I wouldn’t want these comments circulating. You’d look to close it down and as the legion are their tenants it should be easy enough you’d think for them to confirm or deny if any pressure was applied? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=964388064863982&ref=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what you think of him, Devon Watson hasn’t ever been proven to be a liar in a court of law. Katie Hopkins has- and it made her insolvent. The Legion don’t get grants.

It would seem very easy for the management at the Legion to confirm to Energy whether Hopkins has lied or not. She specifically says that she got the information about the alleged threats from the lady who runs the club. You say Hopkins lied but equally she gives the source for the information she imparts - the nice lady at the legion. She even mentions her name so it should be easy enough to get what was said refuted if it’s untrue.

Surely it’s easy enough to get her to confirm or deny what was said? If I was a councilor named it’s the first thing I’d do - pick up the phone to her and ask her to deny what was said to Energy FM by KH if I thought it wasn’t true and I was getting flack for it.

Roger Mexico Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 58 minutes ago, Barlow said: I think the point here is the amount of damages that were awarded. I'm not condoning anything she said but the level of damages awarded by the court is questionable. So not bankrupted for telling lies as such. But it wouldn't be the damages (£24,000) that bankrupted her - it would be the legal fees. The thing is she was given a chance to settle the case early on by apologising and making a much smaller donation to charity and she refused. Damages probably reflected to fact that she kept on making things worse for herself, but they weren't actually that high. People like Hopkins seem like overgrown spoilt toddlers. They think they should be able to do whatever they want and say whatever they want without any consequences. And when the world fails to respond in the ways they demand, they scream and complain just how oppressed they are and demand everyone sympathise with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
