Half of it is costs... do you think the lawyers will share that out too?

[aea730]

Fair enough, Id still settle for 300k for a touch of eavesdropping, I could top it up with a few appearances in Hello magazine and selling a few shots of myself pi55ed up getting into a taxi

and the intrusion when you were still a child? Or if your children were intruded upon. To me, this sends a warning to the industry. Rightly so.

what she does the with cash is upto her. A charity would be nice, of course.

Can everyday people afford that kind of justice? I guess it would take a fair amount of money to take on a newspaper. Or is it that you only hear about cases like this because of celebrities being in the public eye?

I haven't studied this is depth, because I couldn't care less, but I recall seeing comments that she's not in a great place financially?

[frosted]

If I was her I wouldn't settle till someone at NI went jail . Can you imagine the paranoia in that family , wonder how many people they pushed away

[Oakey]

It would be nice if these people actually went through with nailing these fuvkers to the wall rather than settling out of court for a bag of cash. Is Hugh Grant taking it all the way or has he been placated with money too?

ETA: assuming she settled out of court. No linky, no informative opinion.

Would Charlotte Church even still exist without the tabloids? She'd be on the checkout in Poundland.

She is famous and made her money by singing classical music , doubt the tabloids helped her in any way in being "famous"

Does she still do that though? Thought she was more about orange ex husbands on reality TV and drinking cheeky vimtos.

Don't know, don't listen to classic music nor do I have time for people like her . I was just pointing out that she was famous before the sun and notw started destroying her life

[gtdc]

Can't see how it's destroyed. If they didn't write about her would any of us have heard of here for the last 10 years?

[DJRC]

Church's case against NI was about the intrusions they wrought upon her family when she was still a child, starting from 15/6 when she became famous and the damage done to her parents, the grief they were put through, the stories, pressure etc. Her point was that a large part of their lives had had misery piled on them when they themselves were not public figures, they just happened to have a talented and famous child. I have relatively little time for the "Chavin" show, but I can see her point on this one. Her other point about settling now I also thought was highly relevent and bang on the money, that frankly she said she knew damn well that there was no chance of getting those responsible for authorising the actions being put in the dock.

£600k isn't enough- if it was, our papers wouldn't be full of the st that they are.
