Freelance Guardian writer Jack Monroe is suing Katie Hopkins after the
Mail Online columnist accused her of sympathising with the
vandalisation of a war memorial and then said that she had confused
the food blogger with another writer.
Monroe on Monday confirmed issuing proceedings after the controverial
columnist accused the blogger of supporting the vandalism of a second
world war memorial.
The row, reported on Monday in the Press Gazette, dates back to last
May when Twitter erupted after a memorial was daubed with the words
“Fuck Tory scum”. Hopkins asked Monroe: “Scrawled on any memorials
lately? Vandalised the memory of those who fought for your freedom?
Grandma got any more medals?”
Katie's back in court this week I think:
