...or how to make myself REALLY unpopular in one easy blog!
I’m clearly missing something here.
In their latest attempt to divert attention from the dodgy duo, Springer the Swinger and Kate Lawless sued The Tabloids for suggesting that they may have bumped off their babe and covered it up (presumable under a few feet of soil or water).
OK, I can understand The Daily Scum falling over and settling out of court as a cheap and easy option, but having to print that pre-prepared, ludicrous ’apology’ that declares them wholly innocent of all charges?
How the HELL did they ever get this into court?
I thought that both of ’em had been declared Arguidos - which means the cops are suggesting that they may have murdered their babe and covered it up, which the police have often intimated is their main focus of their enquiry (especially as infanticide is not an uncommon event).
So, if you are officially suspected by the police of covering up a murder, how can you sue a paper for suggesting that you may have covered up a murder (apart from continuing to follow the Professional Murderers Diversion manual)?
Despite absolutely no evidence whatsoever for an abduction, and a mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing at Certain Individuals, they have the audacity to sue for libel!
Oooh, I wish I was a magistrate!
"You’re suing the paper for suggesting you may have murdered a child and covered it up"
"Yes M’Lud"
"You’re an Arguido, are you not?"
"Yes M’Lud"
"And what does that mean"
"Well, it means the Police are suggesting that we may have murdered our child and covered it up"
"So, if you have this official status. and the papers are following up on it, why not sue the police for suggesting it in the first place - otherwise, the papers would have been unable to suggest it?"
"Ah - you won’t catch me out like that! Until my Arguido status is lifted, I refuse to answer any more questions. Once it’s lifted, I can refuse to answer them as I did before I was an Arguido. So there."
"Oh sod it - just pay them some money and print their apology."
It’s Jeffrey Archer all over again!
