Take the case then.....
Based on your understanding of defamation, perhaps that would be best.

I think people are losing perspective here. FFS we are talking about some kids on Youtube.

There is a guy running for President in the US who was totally funded (and bailed out of several bankruptcies in the late 80s) by his Dad. He may or may not be a billionaire as he won't disclose his tax returns and he may or may not have huge levels of debt. Latest news suggests he hasn't made a charitable donation since 2008 despite boasting about his wealth at every occasion and he has been using money donated to his family's charitable foundation for personal use.

He did actually sue Forbes Magazine a few years ago who suggested he wasn't as wealthy as he stated, the judge threw the case out as frivolous.

Every day the news media talks about his background, family history and Father's wealth enabling him. I don't think he has sued anyone, in fact one of his spokespeople on CNN yesterday blamed his Father for discriminating against black tenants, so shifting the blame from Trump onto his (deceased) Dad. Nice!

In that case it does matter as he is running for public office and appears to be a serial bull*****er.

Unless one of these Youtube kids is running for office (unlikely as most don't appear to have a lot of real world experience) then it matters not one bit. They certainly aren't hurting anyone or doing anything offensive.

This whole argument sounds like a playground spat about whose Dad is richer.. very odd indeed!

Pistonheads is always a good read, but I recommend people start from the beginning because there are so many things repeated and repeated in this thread.

Tim has previously stated on video that Shmee150 is not funded by the bank of mum and dad. You have inferred that it is, on a public forum. If Tim so wished, he could sue you for libel. Simples.
He'd also have to prove it's not true, maybe that's why he doesn't wink

How were the sandwiches?
They were quite nice thank you.

I had tuna mayonnaise, and although I put them in my lunchbox at 8am they were still fresh when I ate them as I had the foresight to freeze a freeze pack and pop it in my lunchbox so my sandwiches wouldn't get warm & stale.

Sandwiches.

Did you put any cucumber slices in? I between Shmee would have cucumber in his tuna sangers (or perhaps just the cucumber as he is posh).

I don't like cucumber.

But I do like McLarens.

Especially in Cerulean Blue.

Funnily enough I had a cucumber sandwich yesterday, with crusts and salad cream on. Does that mean I'm middle class?

This Motor Trend video is well worth a watch, if you haven't seen it already.

No. Not if it had salad cream involved. So don't panic.

If you were formally working class (definition being a simple cheese sandwich) but have since had cucumber sandwiches, this is the very definition of social mobility, it seems that you fall into the lower middle class, you need to buy more supercars to progress further.

I'd hazard that switching the salad cream for an organic, olive oil mayonnaise could be sufficient.

Switching to a free trade focaccia rather than sliced and referring to the sandwich maker as 'Terrence' instead of 'Tel' will definitely do the trick but does risk moving you outside of the conventional class system altogether and into the uniform, pan-social demographic of 'the tw4t'.

Conversely, eating any type of sandwich in a field that you own, via a tax efficient wrapper, while insisting to anyone who will listen that you really haven't any money is probably the most assured way to firmly make the leap.

Supercars are risky as the wrong purchase can fire you down to sub-traveller status all too easily.
