Quite a few posts starting with Genuine question

Read into that what you will.
I'm reading into that people are asking genuine questions?
It's an interesting point. I wonder if there is a name for word or phrases whose use can be taken as an indicator of the exact opposite in reality?

"I'm not racist but" = "I am a xenophobe of the highest order who will become concerned for my property values if my white neighbours happen to pick up a bit of a tan on holiday".

Starting a phrase with "Genuine question" = "I am about to pose an outrageous rhetorical question which has been ineptly designed to foist my unacceptable views upon you in such a way as to let me claim I was only asking a question should the flame war on Twitter not go the way I was expecting."

"No, please, after you" = "You utter throbber! Can you not see that I'm an important person in a hurry! Doesn't your wheelchair do reverse?"
Lol perhaps it really is just a genuine question vs 99% of questions on PH which simply take the piss.

Haven't seen anyone asking for him to be locked up, but it turns out the falsely accusing people that you don't agree with of being paedophiles such that your brain dead followers give them st loads of abuse has consequences.

Bloke is a moron, as are those who buy into this nonsense.

Graham Linehan might be a tad worried too. I hope so.

He seems to have lost because the judge said everyone considers him a racist,

I wonder if it is true though?

I tried to creat a poll on the subject but can't see an option for creating poles any more and then the mods closed the posting.

If you want to create a pole I suggest giving birth in Poland.

He’s a thoroughly unpleasant individual. I’m sure the well respected and talented members of his family find him acutely embarrassing. He also spineless and can’t take it when people call him out.

That's only half the story, as shown in your video.

He lost his defence case because the court agreed that his statements about the claimants being paedophiles was not only completely unfounded, but also could be shown to have been extremely damaging to their reputations and wellbeing.

He lost his counterclaim, however, not necessarily because the judge believes him to be a racist, but because for a case of defamation to win, the claimant also has to show significant damage to their reputation as a result. The judge's argument was that regardless of whether or not it was reasonable to consider him to be a racist, his own actions in recent years have already done so much damage to his reputation that a couple of people tweeting the accusation couldn't actually cause any significant damage to it!

In short, if you've made everyone think you're a tt, then people can call you a tt whether you actually are or not.

I guess he could just be a nasty piece of work but must admit I do wonder if it's a mental health thing.

Fox is merely the symptom. The root cause is Jeremy Hosking, Reclaim's principal bank roller, the guy who lent anti vax grifitng wingnut Andrew Bridgen £4m interest free to cover his debts,

Fox is an entitled waster, born into a privileged acting dynasty who has chosen to throw it all away. Hosking on the other hand is the puppet master in the background trying to buy his way into the nation's political & cultural vectors without accountability. You all need to ask the right questions.

We keep getting this ridiculous assertion on PH that whenever someone acts like a tt people will say they wonder if it's a mental health thing. Some people are just tts and many millions of us have mental health issues without acting like tts.

With this kind of suggestion being so prevalent it's no wonder some people don't want to admit to having mental health issues.

He does seem to have a rather inflated opinion of his popularity.
Before he lost his deposit at the Uxbridge by-election… wasnt he going to be the next PM?

Perhaps damaged by his mates down the rabbit holes!

I suspect he has probably always been something of a tt to those who knew him, but kept his opinions to himself in public. Then, because he's a celebrity, once he does say them in public, in the minds of the general public it's a very sudden and unexpected change, hence the thoughts of mental health.

I did start off with "I guess he could just be a nasty piece of work" but if he is he seems to have hidden it very well and then very quickly set fire to his career his marriage and his life.

I do take your point and the concern and I'm not getting into an argument about it but I'd say it has to be a possibility.

It is common for big time losers in libel cases to declare bankruptcy. However...
