Seriously, people need to understand that they can't just tweet defamatory stuff without consequences.
Perhaps you need to understand the article.Seriously, people need to understand that they can't just tweet defamatory stuff without consequences.
"ON HIS own Twitter feed, George Galloway MP insists that retweeting someone else’s comment is “not per se endorsement: sometimes the opposite”. When someone else retweets a comment about him, however, he regards it as an endorsement – and, quite probably, a potential libel."
This is the guff that is on the web site for Chambers in Bradford which I assume is the firm in question

They seem to have forgotten which round the David v Goliath battle went - and who won!
I thought the references to "calculated risk takers" and being willing to "push the boundaries of the law" were spot on though.

If I were to receive such a letter, I would refer to the reply given in the case of Arkell versus Pressdram 1971.

Galloway has to be one of my most hated figures.
Total socialist scum.
I'm sure he'd be at, if not very near to, the top of the list if the opposite of the "people who deserve to live forever" thread was created.

The overuse of the ampersand doesn't help to paint a picture of a learned individual, either.Dr Mike Oxgreen said:

Christ, I find myself agreeing with Mr SAS, though to be fair quite a few older people use FB to keep in touch with family etc. There is no excuse for Twitter to exist though.k and ttter, only fit for chav Kyle dropouts/ general losers and those who just like to cause problems.Its not needed and far better off without it..Ironically Galloway tweeted this yesterday.
For reference this is the guy Galloway was referring to to:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maajid_Nawaz
And he claims he was never a terrorist, only an extremist (think Breivik vs BNP).
