Oh no anyway…. Part 2?

STATEMENT REGARDING JOEY BARTON:
The news of Joey Barton’s apology and commitment to pay damages and costs is not the final outcome of this case.
After five defamatory tweets, my lawyer offered Barton a chance to settle: pay £75k, plus my costs, and make an apology.
He ignored that offer and posted more disgusting tweets about me, even publishing my home address to his followers.
When I then took my case to the High Court, a judge ruled that TEN of the tweets I complained of were defamatory. Having lost, Barton has returned to the offer we made after tweet 5.
There has therefore been a parallel action on tweets 6-10 and Barton will pay further damages for these. A number of other steps — including statements made in Court by way of apology — are still to be taken, and Barton has agreed to pay my legal costs of all of the claims.

It's a slightly more nuanced case of this is an agreed statement, written by Jeremy Vine's lawyers, that I have reluctantly put out as part of the settlement, on advice from my lawyersNote his intentional inclusion of the inverted commas to convey this.
Will he wind his neck in in future, or will he double down on it, hoping that simpletons get their hands in their pocket via GoFundMe?
The 75 grand is a big hit but I would wager the costs will be similar.
All because a petulant bully likes to gob off on Twitter. What a time to be alive!

He should have plenty of money left after his football and management career, I wouldn't be surprised if he is making some money from his hate and nonsense peddling. Lots of idiots happy to be fleeced for a few quid a month to have their own beliefs echoed back to them. 550 patreon supporters at £5 a month. He will also be making money from his podcast.Russell Brand was making a fortune talking rubbish to his idiots.
Jeremy Vine is at best a smug, sanctimonious little sh#t, that being said he pales into insignificance against that walking pustule of humanity that is Barton.
Just the sight of him induces nausea, every word that spills from his vile, unfiltered gob should carry a public health warning, it baffles me how this jumped up little toad has avoided a good hiding for so long.

I get it that one individual could have a hateful agenda like Barton who just wants to be in the limelight still. But to have thousands of people follow him positively, they really need to dial up their own number, and have a proper fJust the sight of him induces nausea, every word that spills from his vile, unfiltered gob should carry a public health warning, it baffles me how this jumped up little toad has avoided a good hiding for so long.
