  • If it sets such a bad precedent (which I don't believe it does) then Hopkins could have prevented it by apologising as soon as she realised her mistake. But she didn't and she fought on and on.

  • True. She was never going to do that of course, it would destroy her whole personal brand. Especially the £5k going to a migrant charity.

    To clarify I do think the ruling was spot on and obviously the verdict gives me an enormous amount of personal satisfaction. But I suspect if it's little Mrs Miggins in her cake shop who has published two libellous tweets about a nasty nasty person people would feel differently. But if you're a nasty nasty person then showing serious harm to your reputation is harder so we must just trust in the law I suppose...
