Katie Hopkins to pay £324,000

Anyone else happy to see Katie Hopkins ordered to pay £24k in compensation, plus £300k legal fees today. The funniest part was she could have settled the case for an apology and a £5k donation to a migrant charity. Made my day.

I find it strange that the woman in question demanded she pay 5 large to a "migrant" charity and not just a charity.

I have to admit that I smiled. Its not every day one of the UK's biggest trolls get called to account.

The migrant charity demand was probably on account of KH cockroaches column.

Personally, I hope it bankrupts her but what's really said is that she'll probably be able to pay it, whilst anyone else would lose everything they had if hit with a bill like that. The fact that you can earn that kind of a living by contributing nothing to society and just spewing hate says in a nutshell everything that's wrong with western society.

Kilkenny, but Dublin is more fun

Unfortunately it will probably cause her to become even more bitter and write even more articles blaming pc culture for all the world's woes.

i don't...

it was one of her newspaper columns after she famously compared asylum seekers to "cockroaches"

anyway she has previous in this....

she cost the mail a lot of money where a muslim family sued her as she called them "terrorists" in another of her columns when a story came out about a family who were taken of a flight bound for a family holiday at disneyland...

She's learnt the hard way talk isn't cheap, but as a cockroach herself it'll take more than this to rid society of the vile creature, sadly she'll have a large following in her "yuppy" circle of friends, I'm sure the bill will be split

I do not see anything being funny if legal fees of £300, 000 have been incurred . The law needs to be amended to cap legal fees at a sensible level of say £20, 000 per case .

It never ceases to amaze me the issues which people take to court and the costs incurred .

It appears to be a case of mistaken identity .

Her contribution is writing in news papers and the fact that people like to read her columns regardless of whether they agree or disagree. No one is compelled to purchase a newspaper and people would not buy them unless they found the content interesting .

Footballers probably earn a lot more than she does . Do they contribute more ?

i'm sorry... but that is rubbish...

well hopkins could have avoided all this by actually apologising... and do you think there would have been numerous attempts to do that before it got to this stage....

she still fought it in court.. it wasn't like she was there against her will kicking and screaming

she is her own worst enemy, I don't sympathise with her a bit!

you may want to appraise yourself of the issue, the person who she libelled received scores upon scores of hate filled messages from people who believed what Hopkins wrote..

I would definitely say that sports people all round make a lot more positive contributions to society than the hate filled witch that is Katie Hopkins, so yes.

The judicial susten is not your strong point it seems. Juries decide upon the evidence and the judge will pass sentence as part of their role in the court..

Libel is libel and regardless of what ones political stance if you commit it and it goes through the process then that's that..

It's pretty clear and obvious..

Yes, thanks for reminding us, 'enemies of the people'. Honestly what would they know, all those years of experience and studying. Prosecuting, defending, considering arguments and sentencing. Poor Ms Hopkins treated so unfairly by an unjust system.

Lets see, KH libelled someone from a military family declined an offer to settle out of court. When you play stupid games, you may well win stupid prizes.

Yes. I mean, it's not hard to contribute more than someone like Hopkins.

But I think footballers probably get some unfair criticism anyway. Some of them do a lot for their communities. And no one gets upset about actors or musicians getting paid millions, so there's definitely some snobbery involved.

Part of many footballers contract includes giving back to the community. Many remember where they came from and give back. Not sure about Bon Geldof though ...

that's the legal system for you..

the actual question should be (the fact that Hopkins is a vile troll and appeals to those with similar deluded and stone age views is known) is why would she be so stupid to carry it on when her counsel would have laid out her position at the start..

The only people who really won here are the lawyers.

She made a mistake, and was stubborn enough not to apologise, so 24 grand is a decent slap.... the rest is just rich dicks getting richer.

She's a dick. This wasn't freedom of speech, it wasn't mistaken identity because she could have apologised after she learned of her error. She makes her money by making inflammatory comments and this time it's cost her, whether people agree with Jack Monroe's political stance or not. Hopkins is poison.

I think Jack Monroe asked for a payment to a charity for migrants to redress some of the bile that has come from Katie Hopkins.

Both women had a choice, though one is a decent human being and the other... I can't find the words to describe it. The court decided that one of them had done wrong. Justice served.

No it wasn't an opinion piece, KH directly accused JM of vandalising a war memorial on twitter. Ms Hopkins was given the opportunity apologise and donate to a charity of Ms Monroe's choosing. The courts found that KH was guilty of Libel. She now gets to pay damages and costs.

It will hopefully make some realise that what they say has consequence's, and perhaps some will think before they quote

"They are in Ireland unfortunately

Flash, its a bloody stretch to equate KH with feminist columnists. Gender is of no relevance whatsoever to this issue.

Same thing, deliberately inflammatory media types "

.

YouTube is full of them, yer have black dudes with inflammatory talk over black dudes, feminazis with inflammatory talk about men, women slagging off feminazis, Blacks calling whites, whites slagging off Blacks they all have a different target audience, they all wanna get people outraged for money and its always the same scam. They know what the world needs to be better and they cant do it coz of xyz if only you could join them the world will be lovely yak yak yak yak.

Are you on with me or against me , its not much difference than this forum

"Anyone else happy to see Katie Hopkins ordered to pay £24k in compensation, plus £300k legal fees today. The funniest part was she could have settled the case for an apology and a £5k donation to a migrant charity. Made my day. I do not see anything being funny if legal fees of £300, 000 have been incurred . The law needs to be amended to cap legal fees at a sensible level of say £20, 000 per case .

It never ceases to amaze me the issues which people take to court and the costs incurred .

It appears to be a case of mistaken identity . yes , surely the absurd cost should be the main story here ! "

Come on Mr Suit, who caused these costs? Be honest now, could this have all been sorted with a donation to charity and no legal costs? Yes or No?

"I'm not saying Hopkins I'd perfect but it riled me that left wingers can get away with saying anything they like !!!

It certainly appears to be like that for sure, but let's be honest most judges are woolly backed lefties any way, who have no understanding or appreciation of day to day life

The judicial susten is not your strong point it seems. Juries decide upon the evidence and the judge will pass sentence as part of their role in the court..

Libel is libel and regardless of what ones political stance if you commit it and it goes through the process then that's that..

It's pretty clear and obvious.."

However all judges do is make a decision on the day . It has no impact on their own personal lives and they seem totally indifferent to the costs involved in cases ( in addition to all thr pomp and ceremony involved). Judges make decisions, it does not necessary mean it is the right one.

Google or any other search engine as you seem to have problems finding common information will tell you that, juries hear the evidence presented under the stewardship of the judge during the case..

Then juries again under the guidance of said judge are sent to deliberate on the evidence etc..

Are you suggesting that in order to keep costs down that judges should keep it short?

Also Google the principles of justice while your there..

"Personally, I hope it bankrupts her but what's really said is that she'll probably be able to pay it, whilst anyone else would lose everything they had if hit with a bill like that. The fact that you can earn that kind of a living by contributing nothing to society and just spewing hate says in a nutshell everything that's wrong with western society. Her contribution is writing in news papers and the fact that people like to read her columns regardless of whether they agree or disagree. No one is compelled to purchase a newspaper and people would not buy them unless they found the content interesting .

Footballers probably earn a lot more than she does . Do they contribute more ?

she is a vile person and writes for a paper albeit online that has a history of having to pay compensation..

you sound like you want to defend her..?

I like the girl, does any body know if there is a just giving page where I can donate to her costs

Yes there is. It has already raised about five grand which has been given to a foodbank instead .... for people who are living in the real world"

Foreign aid should have been scrapped years ago, it serves no purpose and delivers next to nowt for the end user and bears little or no resemblance to the huge cost incurred to the UK tax payer

We should target natural distasters like the earth quakes in Italy, not Africa which is basket case, always has been always will be. I was giving tin foil to blue peter for Africa when I was 10 and that was 44 years ago. Nothing has changed and it has sucked up 1000's of millions in aid

.

Thats not true, they bought an awful lot of guns and got a lotta billionaires out of it .

I dont support foreign aid for that reason, most of it is just wasted or used for corruption, remove the aid and the despots wont be able to afford guns and then the people can revolt and have a chance of having a decent country for once

That is a fairly cowardly comment to make but probably not unexpected from someone like yourself .

What I said was that Christopher Booker was entitled to comment on the various legal issues concerning the case . Only social workers , the police , solictors and barristers would hsve sufficient knowledge of the case to make a decision.

I make no apologies for commenting on the various legal processes involved .

A barrister representing someone who has committed a crime does not condone the crime committed .

Maybe you should be better informed on the workings of the court of protection before comnenting on tbe forum.

She may say what you are thinking, not me. Free speech doesn't mean you can incite hate or lie about people though, does it?

Remoaners incite hate against Brexiters all the time, especially on here. "

Not sure anyone has ever said they 'hate' anyone regardless of how they did vote or those who didn't vote..

lots of passionate debate but on such an issue that's to be expected..

hate, not that no..

You are thinking of accusing innocent people of desecrating war graves? Why would you want to do something like that?

"I'm not saying Hopkins I'd perfect but it riled me that left wingers can get away with saying anything they like !!!

It certainly appears to be like that for sure, but let's be honest most judges are woolly backed lefties any way, who have no understanding or appreciation of day to day life

The judicial susten is not your strong point it seems. Juries decide upon the evidence and the judge will pass sentence as part of their role in the court..

Libel is libel and regardless of what ones political stance if you commit it and it goes through the process then that's that..

It's pretty clear and obvious.. However all judges do is make a decision on the day . It has no impact on their own personal lives and they seem totally indifferent to the costs involved in cases ( in addition to all thr pomp and ceremony involved). Judges make decisions, it does not necessary mean it is the right one.

Google or any other search engine as you seem to have problems finding common information will tell you that, juries hear the evidence presented under the stewardship of the judge during the case..

Then juries again under the guidance of said judge are sent to deliberate on the evidence etc..

Are you suggesting that in order to keep costs down that judges should keep it short?

Also Google the principles of justice while your there..

Maybe Pat is suggesting that after Brexit the UK can no longer afford decent justice, instead we need to do it on the cheap?

Pat and his logic has been beyond me for several years, who knows..

We'll add that to the list of things we can no longer afford, including our foreign aid budget and a department for energy and climate change

And scrap all PPE and the regs on working with asbestos as it's all ok and no one has ever contracted mesothelioma or will do cos some eminent journo has said so..

"

I would guess that I hsve probably done more research into Asbestos removal than you have .

If making sarcastic comments keeps you happy or gives you satisfa tion that is fine .

I prefer to assess the risks and take action on those that represent danger . And not frighten people by quoting unnecessary risks .

Its an interesting phenomenon that research shows that racists/sexists believe that their opinions are far more popular than they actually are.

If the overwhelming majority didnt disagree with these things then it wouldnt be condemned like it is.

For example there are Unionist politicians that routinely post discriminatory things on social media about catholics and get away with it because a large section of their voterbase is ok with it.

The whole process needs to be streamlined and made more accountable . I have sued a public authority as a litigant in person and some of the tactics used are little short of disgracefull. Examples include failing to file pleadings on time and non disclosure of evidence . The whole process was in my opinion a complete waste of money .

Asbestos removal..?

but on the other thread you said asbestos was mainly in concrete and not an issue?

why would you need to remove it then..?

on that salient point you have not only exhibited a massive lack of knowledge about where in our homes, workplaces etc asbestos is present but you've also contradicted your view that Booker is 'spot on'..

without getting into the lamp post urination game you are lamely trying to introduce i did 22 plus yrs dealing with incidents involving asbestos where risk assessment was daily with the stuff..

oops i just did..

so to summarise Pat;

yesterday asbestos wasn't a problem because the journalist said so.. 'spot on' you said..

and you had thrown his book away..?

and its only in concrete so not a problem (grossly not accurate)..

today you have said you have done much research into asbestos removal..

smells fishy Pat..

Foreign aid should have been scrapped years ago, it serves no purpose and delivers next to nowt for the end user and bears little or no resemblance to the huge cost incurred to the UK tax payer

We should target natural distasters like the earth quakes in Italy, not Africa which is basket case, always has been always will be. I was giving tin foil to blue peter for Africa when I was 10 and that was 44 years ago. Nothing has changed and it has sucked up 1000's of millions in aid.

Thats not true, they bought an awful lot of guns and got a lotta billionaires out of it .

I dont support foreign aid for that reason, most of it is just wasted or used for corruption, remove the aid and the despots wont be able to afford guns and then the people can revolt and have a chance of having a decent country for once"

This statement, and the one previous, is not true.

Some aid has definitely not been effective, but a lot has, and some parts of Africa are now booming.

I suggest you try and look past the stereotype on Africa.

That may well be true but then it's even more reason Hater Hopkins should have apologised to begin with. She could then have avoided the costs.

Thats why i said most aid not all aid, yes some makes an impact however most gets squandered onto regimes that cause most of the problems, its how Africa is kept fucked up while the money men strip its assets. Its not a secret its quite open, unless you think the entire continent is just fucked up by chance or culture? These are probably true to to an extent but they dont drive it.

Sorry but while this may have been more true in the past there's been a much bigger focus on good governance in the past 10-15 years.

There's also a big difference between aid from governments and overall aid through independent organisations and the public.

"Anyone else happy to see Katie Hopkins ordered to pay £24k in compensation, plus £300k legal fees today. The funniest part was she could have settled the case for an apology and a £5k donation to a migrant charity. Made my day. I do not see anything being funny if legal fees of £300, 000 have been incurred . The law needs to be amended to cap legal fees at a sensible level of say £20, 000 per case .

It never ceases to amaze me the issues which people take to court and the costs incurred .

It appears to be a case of mistaken identity . "

Pat, I am really surprised that you would like to see a cap in costs. The costs are on the basis of professionally qualified self-employed barristers. I thought you liked people to earn what they are worth, working for themselves? You want to limit their success? How surprising.

Under that sort of 'free speech' I could call you a murderer and it would be ok would it? She accused someone of something they didn't do and did it in a way that inflamed hatred from her followers to send death and sexual abuse threats to Munroe. But according to you that's what people were thinking so it's ok and just free speech.

An interesting comment and point taken . However it is difficult to see how arguing out cases in court ( and I am referring to civil litigation as opposed to criminal prosecutions ) at unlimited costs is of any real benefit to anyone . ( except to lawyers and solicitors )

A case in point is one in todays paper . The National Coal Board were sued on behalf of 97,000 miners whose health had been damaged . The lawyers made £115 million while tens of thousands of the miners had been awarded damags of less than £1000 , one of them only 50 p .

We have the potential scenario now where in certain cases Doctors may refrain from saving someones life for fear of being sued .

yesterday asbestos wasn't a problem because the journalist said so.. 'spot on' you said..

and you had thrown his book away..?

and its only in concrete so not a problem (grossly not accurate)..

today you have said you have done much research into asbestos removal..

smells fishy Pat..

like your making it up on the hoof.. "

Luckily no one compells you to accept the results of Christopher Bookers research . However I am happy to accept the results of his findings as are many other people .

Some people have incurred a lot of unnecessary expenses because of the various scare tactics used by the asbestos removal industry . I prefer to investigate the risks that I may be encountering and not necessarily accept blindly the advice given . ( i.e an open minded approach )

"I'm not saying Hopkins I'd perfect but it riled me that left wingers can get away with saying anything they like !!!

It certainly appears to be like that for sure, but let's be honest most judges are woolly backed lefties any way, who have no understanding or appreciation of day to day life

The judicial susten is not your strong point it seems. Juries decide upon the evidence and the judge will pass sentence as part of their role in the court..

Libel is libel and regardless of what ones political stance if you commit it and it goes through the process then that's that..

It's pretty clear and obvious.. However all judges do is make a decision on the day . It has no impact on their own personal lives and they seem totally indifferent to the costs involved in cases ( in addition to all thr pomp and ceremony involved). Judges make decisions, it does not necessary mean it is the right one.

Google or any other search engine as you seem to have problems finding common information will tell you that, juries hear the evidence presented under the stewardship of the judge during the case..

Then juries again under the guidance of said judge are sent to deliberate on the evidence etc..

Are you suggesting that in order to keep costs down that judges should keep it short?

Also Google the principles of justice while your there..

Maybe Pat is suggesting that after Brexit the UK can no longer afford decent justice, instead we need to do it on the cheap?

Pat and his logic has been beyond me for several years, who knows..

We'll add that to the list of things we can no longer afford, including our foreign aid budget and a department for energy and climate change

And scrap all PPE and the regs on working with asbestos as it's all ok and no one has ever contracted mesothelioma or will do cos some eminent journo has said so..

I would guess that I hsve probably done more research into Asbestos removal than you have .

If making sarcastic comments keeps you happy or gives you satisfa tion that is fine .

I prefer to assess the risks and take action on those that represent danger . And not frighten people by quoting unnecessary risks .

Asbestos removal..?

but on the other thread you said asbestos was mainly in concrete and not an issue?

why would you need to remove it then..?

on that salient point you have not only exhibited a massive lack of knowledge about where in our homes, workplaces etc asbestos is present but you've also contradicted your view that Booker is 'spot on'..

without getting into the lamp post urination game you are lamely trying to introduce i did 22 plus yrs dealing with incidents involving asbestos where risk assessment was daily with the stuff..

oops i just did..

His 'findings' are based on a proven liar called John Brindle who was successfully prosecuted for pretending he had qualifications he does not..

several other claims by Brindle have been shown to be false by professional bodies and organisations..

also your man Booker has been shown by the HSE to be quoting falsehoods, several times..

safety with asbestos is there because it kills people, end of..

again why are you saying you investigate the risks when you are also saying Booker is your 'go to' man and he says there are no risks..

your contradicting yourself, again..

question to you Pat, how do you explain the nearly 3000 deaths in this country in 2014 directly caused by mesothelioma/ asbestosis if there is no risk.. ?

that approach seems very similar to when you thought professional pest controllers were over stressing what was needed in one of your properties and not worth the money so you did your own research on here..?

and to a point such things can be sorted but with asbestos removal that's a different level of risk..

We'll add that to the list of things we can no longer afford, including our foreign aid budget and a department for energy and climate change

Foreign aid should have been scrapped years ago, it serves no purpose and delivers next to nowt for the end user and bears little or no resemblance to the huge cost incurred to the UK tax payer

We should target natural distasters like the earth quakes in Italy, not Africa which is basket case, always has been always will be. I was giving tin foil to blue peter for Africa when I was 10 and that was 44 years ago. Nothing has changed and it has sucked up 1000's of millions in aid.

Thats not true, they bought an awful lot of guns and got a lotta billionaires out of it .

I dont support foreign aid for that reason, most of it is just wasted or used for corruption, remove the aid and the despots wont be able to afford guns and then the people can revolt and have a chance of having a decent country for once

This statement, and the one previous, is not true.

Some aid has definitely not been effective, but a lot has, and some parts of Africa are now booming.

I suggest you try and look past the stereotype on Africa..

Thats why i said most aid not all aid, yes some makes an impact however most gets squandered onto regimes that cause most of the problems, its how Africa is kept fucked up while the money men strip its assets. Its not a secret its quite open, unless you think the entire continent is just fucked up by chance or culture? These are probably true to to an extent but they dont drive it.

They use your empathy to keep the situation on going

Sorry but while this may have been more true in the past there's been a much bigger focus on good governance in the past 10-15 years.

There's also a big difference between aid from governments and overall aid through independent organisations and the public.

"

.

But i was talking about oversees foreign aid given by governments not private charity work, i agree theres a big difference.

But thats not what Im saying,im saying the entire system that runs aid on a governmental level including UN and IMF bank bailouts are designed to keep places fucked up while the rich extort the place for its wealth, they rely on your empathy for sad pictures of dying kids to keep that going.

South America, Africa, most of the middle East, Russia, Baltic states these are just places designed to be kept shit by a system while being exploited.

I do not think that I would ever be relying on advice from an internet forum such as this . We are simply in Cyberland and far removed from the real world . Any information on here is simply a discussion topic . A topic or thread may be started to engage in conversation , this forum can hardly be considered an area from which to obtain serious advice . That is why I am so surprised that some posters are so eager to post links to the documentation from which they obtain they opinions ? Unless someone has two much time on their hand I cannot see anyone looking back to the relevant supporting documentation. .

Regarding advice , a lot of members are extremely helpful and in the case of one of the issues to which you refer about ten pmed me . I would hope that it is not just a one way feed and where relevant I have provided help and guidance on other issues in return .

Christopher Booker is a distinguished author and I am happy to rely on his advice as are many other people . No one is compelled to accept what he says , you are not compelled to accept anything that I say as being true , and vice versa I am not compelled to accept anything which you say as being true .We are all quite capable of carrying out our own risk assessment .

The information which Christopher Booker has in his book plus the various weekly newspaper columns which he writes give me sufficient information on the issue . The climate change lobby will of course attempt to discredit him becauses it damages their money making gravy train .

In any event the dangers of asbestos were ingrained into me at a very young age by my father . I do not doubt the validity of his advice .

If you are approaching the issue from an employee perspective you may have a different view .

In any event , whatever peoples views are o the issue , it does not make much difference to me .

What was this thread about? Oh yes. Hopkins.

Directed incorrect information at the wrong person who suffered abuse as a consequence then couldn't bring herself to apologise.

Stupid and arrogant.

Upshot, she gets sued for libel and loses because she was in the wrong and pays damages.

Fair enough.

Pays legal fees of her victim.

Fair enough. I'm not sure what else anyone should expect to happen. What would the alternative be? If you are forced to defend your reputation in court you should pay for the privilege when proven correct?

I assume that's where we have spun off into other dodgy journalism.

To say that climate science is a vast industry when compared to the petrochemical industry and its embedded political connections is laughable.

To day that a journalist had proven climate change to be untrue is laughable.

To say that a journalist has proven asbestos not to be a problem without any medical evidence to prove it is laughable.

So no, I disagree and I'm disappointed that anyone claims that a tertiary source interpreting information is more reliable than the people and organisations generating the information.They are only experts though. That this tertiary interpretation is enough.

If it did not reinforce your existing opinions would it be so acceptable?

If he supported remaining in the EU would that be enough for you?

Back to Hopkins for a moment....

You would have thought she would have learnt her lesson after the last time her words got her into trouble when she ended up costing the daily mail 150k.... but that wasn't her money I suppose

Only difference this time is that she did it on twitter rather than in a newspaper... and she had no one else to hide behind

I can't believe people here tried to defend her... it was a horrible accusation to make, and when she knew it wasn't true all she had to do to make it right was to say sorry....

She couldn't even utter that!

They made me take my shed down in the rain and i could only use a hammer and a saw.

Then you have to double bag your bits of asbestos up and take it too the dump or have it collected by a registered firm.

Hopefully that will minimise the chances of you coughing your lungs up or having bits of them cut out when your older.

I think you know that, but I guess it doesn't prevent you being cold and wet

"I'm not saying Hopkins I'd perfect but it riled me that left wingers can get away with saying anything they like !!!

It certainly appears to be like that for sure, but let's be honest most judges are woolly backed lefties any way, who have no understanding or appreciation of day to day life

The judicial susten is not your strong point it seems. Juries decide upon the evidence and the judge will pass sentence as part of their role in the court..

Libel is libel and regardless of what ones political stance if you commit it and it goes through the process then that's that..

It's pretty clear and obvious.. However all judges do is make a decision on the day . It has no impact on their own personal lives and they seem totally indifferent to the costs involved in cases ( in addition to all thr pomp and ceremony involved). Judges make decisions, it does not necessary mean it is the right one.

Google or any other search engine as you seem to have problems finding common information will tell you that, juries hear the evidence presented under the stewardship of the judge during the case..

Then juries again under the guidance of said judge are sent to deliberate on the evidence etc..

Are you suggesting that in order to keep costs down that judges should keep it short?

Also Google the principles of justice while your there..

Maybe Pat is suggesting that after Brexit the UK can no longer afford decent justice, instead we need to do it on the cheap?

Pat and his logic has been beyond me for several years, who knows..

We'll add that to the list of things we can no longer afford, including our foreign aid budget and a department for energy and climate change

And scrap all PPE and the regs on working with asbestos as it's all ok and no one has ever contracted mesothelioma or will do cos some eminent journo has said so..

I would guess that I hsve probably done more research into Asbestos removal than you have .

If making sarcastic comments keeps you happy or gives you satisfa tion that is fine .

I prefer to assess the risks and take action on those that represent danger . And not frighten people by quoting unnecessary risks .

Asbestos removal..?

but on the other thread you said asbestos was mainly in concrete and not an issue?

why would you need to remove it then..?

on that salient point you have not only exhibited a massive lack of knowledge about where in our homes, workplaces etc asbestos is present but you've also contradicted your view that Booker is 'spot on'..

without getting into the lamp post urination game you are lamely trying to introduce i did 22 plus yrs dealing with incidents involving asbestos where risk assessment was daily with the stuff..

oops i just did..

so to summarise Pat;

yesterday asbestos wasn't a problem because the journalist said so.. 'spot on' you said..

and you had thrown his book away..?

and its only in concrete so not a problem (grossly not accurate)..

today you have said you have done much research into asbestos removal..

smells fishy Pat..

like your making it up on the hoof..

Luckily no one compells you to accept the results of Christopher Bookers research . However I am happy to accept the results of his findings as are many other people .

Some people have incurred a lot of unnecessary expenses because of the various scare tactics used by the asbestos removal industry . I prefer to investigate the risks that I may be encountering and not necessarily accept blindly the advice given . ( i.e an open minded approach )

His 'findings' are based on a proven liar called John Brindle who was successfully prosecuted for pretending he had qualifications he does not..

several other claims by Brindle have been shown to be false by professional bodies and organisations..

also your man Booker has been shown by the HSE to be quoting falsehoods, several times..

safety with asbestos is there because it kills people, end of..

again why are you saying you investigate the risks when you are also saying Booker is your 'go to' man and he says there are no risks..

your contradicting yourself, again..

question to you Pat, how do you explain the nearly 3000 deaths in this country in 2014 directly caused by mesothelioma/ asbestosis if there is no risk.. ?

I never said that there is no risk , there is no risk in certain scenarios . ( namely asbestos enclosed within cement ) "

The amount of asbestos in cement is low but still when reduced down for other uses is a risk and it's managed on site..

Where asbestos is concerned there is always a risk, managing it will in certain scenario's reduce it and make working with it or removing it safer..

"Back to Hopkins for a moment....

You would have thought she would have learnt her lesson after the last time her words got her into trouble when she ended up costing the daily mail 150k.... but that wasn't her money I suppose

Only difference this time is that she did it on twitter rather than in a newspaper... and she had no one else to hide behind

I can't believe people here tried to defend her... it was a horrible accusation to make, and when she knew it wasn't true all she had to do to make it right was to say sorry....

Or it may be that we do not know the terms and conditions of the settlement offer made to her . It is quite possible that tbe conditions attached to it were unacceptable . We are simply guessing the issue on these forums .

However Brooker never disputed this , his concern was about the issues being totally overstated in certain scenarios unnecessary extra costs being incurred in its removal.

stop it, your trying to justify or excuse the vile woman's behaviour.. again..

she had the chance to make it all go away by simply apologising and paying £5 k to a charity..

she chose not to..

she is not only a vile person she is also stupid and will be out of pocket ..

he has no credibility in the area, his source is a proven liar with no qualifications and he has every time he opens his unqualified mouth corrected by the HSE..

that's the HSE who base their qualified professional judgement upon proven scientific evidence..

for someone who professes to have done research in this area and say's an open mind is needed you certainly don't put it into practise..

Luckily no one compells you to accept the results of Christopher Bookers research . However I am happy to accept the results of his findings as are many other people .

Some people have incurred a lot of unnecessary expenses because of the various scare tactics used by the asbestos removal industry . I prefer to investigate the risks that I may be encountering and not necessarily accept blindly the advice given . ( i.e an open minded approach )

that approach seems very similar to when you thought professional pest controllers were over stressing what was needed in one of your properties and not worth the money so you did your own research on here..?

and to a point such things can be sorted but with asbestos removal that's a different level of risk..

I do not think that I would ever be relying on advice from an internet forum such as this . We are simply in Cyberland and far removed from the real world . Any information on here is simply a discussion topic . A topic or thread may be started to engage in conversation , this forum can hardly be considered an area from which to obtain serious advice . That is why I am so surprised that some posters are so eager to post links to the documentation from which they obtain they opinions ? Unless someone has two much time on their hand I cannot see anyone looking back to the relevant supporting documentation. .

Regarding advice , a lot of members are extremely helpful and in the case of one of the issues to which you refer about ten pmed me . I would hope that it is not just a one way feed and where relevant I have provided help and guidance on other issues in return .

Christopher Booker is a distinguished author and I am happy to rely on his advice as are many other people . No one is compelled to accept what he says , you are not compelled to accept anything that I say as being true , and vice versa I am not compelled to accept anything which you say as being true .We are all quite capable of carrying out our own risk assessment .

The information which Christopher Booker has in his book plus the various weekly newspaper columns which he writes give me sufficient information on the issue . The climate change lobby will of course attempt to discredit him becauses it damages their money making gravy train .

In any event the dangers of asbestos were ingrained into me at a very young age by my father . I do not doubt the validity of his advice .

If you are approaching the issue from an employee perspective you may have a different view .

In any event , whatever peoples views are o the issue , it does not make much difference to me .

As the OP of this thread I deem this post completely irrelevant. Thank you, that is all."

Hello . I would like to apologise to you . It was not my intention to post irrelevant issues on your thread. However a few posters for reasons best known to themselves raised issues on other posts which I had made ( tbe posts to which they referred were completely irrelevant to the thread ).

One again apologies and I hope that any further responses which you receive are specifically related to the thread . I will not make any more posts on it. Best wishes Patrick.

I am not sure the country needs more hate filled liars does it?

This is a woman who has discovered that she can be famous simply by being controversial. She knows all too well that lemmings lap up her controversy and make her popular. She is a modern day Bernard Manning and I am sure that we will all look back at her in the same way we now look back at Bernard Manning. The people who loved his "honesty" are the same type of people that lap up Hopkins "honesty."

Hopkins is a hate-monger, pure and simple.

She's also not stupid, she'd have known that calling migrants cockroaches was provocative, given that it's the same word used in propaganda aimed at encouraging Hutus to murder Tutsis during the Rwandan genocide.
