When has anyone been threatened with litigation?

What happened with the legal proceedings that were started against yourself?
When another local councillor claimed what you'd posted on here was lies.
Has that instance now been settled?

I mentioned a veiled threat, wish you could get, 'he who must not be named' to answer this thread as quick as you jumped on me.
No wonder I think a great deal less of you as each day passes.
Don't bother getting in touch with Lawyers, It isn't libel, it isn't slander, that is what I think, I take it even in your world I'm allowed to think?

Yes, he got his money.
Then he got voted off the council.
Swings and roundabouts.

Unlike certain Conservative councillors, I have no intention of suing anyone for expressing an opinion.
I wish I could get my head around what it is you're actually trying to say, any chance of a reply in plain English?

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
I'm suprised I wasn't sued, when I posted that the Tory candidate at the last General Election only learned how to get out of a sports car at her posh Lytham school, without showing her knickers.
'Why you nasty little Labour activist, I always show my knickers when getting out of a car!'
'I'll see you in court'.
Happy days.
The like of which we'll never see again.
Sadly.
For Labour.

He won the case?
You did post something which wasn't true on here, a public forum?
You live...and learn.
Swings, and roundabouts.

Well the MP sent me a PM about repeating hearsay on this website, I think he did the same to another member too, but that's what he does, besides stabbing his constituents in the back that is, and kissing Mr Eds feet

Luckily for some you can't be sued for saying one thing....and doing another.
There are no laws againsy hypocrisy.
Graham must be relieved.
For now.

Apparently so. I just found it interesting that all references to the point which triggered my 'factual mishap' were seemingly absent from council minutes after that.
It was a hugely defamatory statement...which failed to ignite much interest in the local press.
I made two public apologies, the Labour group paid up the money, smiles happy day.
Apologies once again for my error.

Ah, attack being the best form of defence, you attempt to make me seem as simple as thee.
Allow me to assist, if you are conceited enough to think YOU, are, 'he that must not be mentioned', then you are wrong, your jump, your own wrong conclusion.
Read back to some advice in this thread from the one named in the title.
Now, allow me one last sentence, I thought you might be good for the Borough, you got voted in, now actually get on and do something and stop disappointing me.

Perhaps they just got lost.
In Kashmir.

I'm not as conceiting as you would seemingly love to think but if you see friendly advice not to repeat something potentially libellous as a veiled threat then you must be very easily offended. Carry on regardless, just don't say you haven't been warned if one day you repeat something which may not be true and someone somewhere decides to sue you.
Solicitors have endless patience.
And costs.

For your own benefit, I daresay.
Take off the blue blinkers, John. They don't suit you anymore.
