Are you so dense that you can't see that when you normalise political violence, you don't have any control over who it gets used against?

Nobody is talking about normalising political violence: stopping Nazis is all about stopping political violence.

Was wondering what Laura Murray had said to libel Rachel Riley and caused her to delete her twitter.

My main take from it is that if you scroll down to the 8th reply you get Angry Of Tuebrook calling someone a bellend. 

I stand by that.

Does the libel case hang on Riley proving that her Twitter shit is neither dangerous nor stupid? If so, she's fucked.

It's ok that I still fancy her though yeah?

Yeah. She's still fit. A fit cunt. 

 

Plus, a general point of order. Can we stop saying that Laura Murray was libellous to the professional tile arranger. It's an allegation. We're doing that not giving anybody on the left the privilege of due process thing again.

Fucking hell have you ever looked at her Twitter feed? Reminds me of when my sister used to argue with people on MSN.

 

'And another thing Hahaha!!'

 

'You tell him girl-friend!'

 

'Thanks babes love you too!'

 

The woman needs to go take a midol.

It hangs on whether the allegation that Riley said that Corbyn deserved to be assaulted because he is a Nazi is true or not. If shown to be untrue, it must then be shown that the statement caused serious harm to her reputation. 

 

Murray will have a few defences available to her. One being fair comment/honest opinion. Given that Riley's tweet is very vague and doesn't categorically state that she was highlighting Owen Jones alleged hypocrisy, it could be argued that Murray honestly believed that Riley was saying that Corbyn deserved attacking as he was a Nazi. The fact that several other Twitter users have also interpreted Riley's tweet in this manner would serve as evidence to back up Murray's defence. Also, Riley mentions nothing at all about hypocrisy in her original tweet. She does, however, mention "good advice." This uses the same terminology as Owen Jones tweet which she shared. In that, the "advice" which Jones imparts is don't be a Nazi and you won't get egged. This, for me, further backs up Murray's interpretation of Riley's vague tweet.
