I have suffered dreadful abuse online since winning my libel action, but the message is clear: defamation has consequences
On Tuesday on Sky News, I was asked by Kay Burley if I had any sympathy for Laurence Fox. I nearly said yes. But that night, he was back to tweeting about my cock. What a difference 12 hours can make.
If you’re new to this saga, I’ve just won a libel battle against Fox in the high court. I sued him for calling me a paedophile in October 2020. He retaliated, countersuing me for calling him a racist (apparently Mr Free Speech Absolutist is not so keen on speech that he does not agree with). In a judgment released on Monday (more than three years later), he lost on both counts.
