They also had a comment on their Facebook page asking anybody if they 'know how to remove negative comments from posts'. Which is incredibly hypocritical.
They're not exactly covering themselves in glory with this one.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Standard says "Mr Turnham is among a number of neighbours to have written to the local council asking for the bar’s licence to be reviewed over noise complaints."

why so defensive?
it was the implication, just because someone doesn't understand the lyrics of a certain act it does not mean there aren't lots of meanings and intelligence contained in them
yes I do actually, I've been there plenty, not that I have to justify myself to you

Sounds sensible.
Oh, so someone who saw the CCTV did comment, effectively inviting people to blame the teacher (or another resident).
This is assuming that the author of this comment has anything to do with the bar. It's impossible to tell what's bullshit and what isn't.
'I'm just asking questions' is a pathetic thing to say when throwing around allegations this toxic and insinuating that the resident is lying ('supposed' tourist).

I see the LCC does beginners' media law courses. Maybe U75 could negotiate a group discount on behalf of this thread

As far as I am aware, the issue of whether hyperlinking to a libellous claim is repeating the libel has yet to be tested in court.
It seems it went before the High Court in 2010 (Spectator Magazine vs Islam Expo) and the claim was not upheld, but it also seems that the matter was not resolved to any meaningful degree either.

To be fair, they were looking at the legality of recklessly re-tweeting unsubstantiated malicious content and spent little time considering the ignorance of such an act, which had been pretty much universally accepted.

That is interesting, but it was also a judgment made in the days before links to Tweets etc visually replicated the content of the tweet in question. Such a post would now certainly be viewed as defamation as you are effectively retweeting the defamatory tweet - there's a good summary of it here

They have now (at last) apologised to the teacher in question.

That's a pretty pathetic excuse of an apology by someone who has engaged his/ her anger before engaging his / her brain. Doesn't come over as sincere at all, seems like they don't give a shit about dragging an innocent man's name through the mud.

It's the most passive aggressive thing I think I've ever read.

And then this line:Blimey. Caps galore.
"we have issued a public apology and are deeply sorry for the actions, others have taken upon themselves to find justice, in relation to this petition."
Er, what? Sounds a bit like 'we started this but can't be held responsible for any of the fallout'.

“We understand this is alleged, however this man has been fighting against the bar”
A loaded sentence if ever there was one.
Now, I read plenty of Sherlock Holmes when I was younger, and this classic quote always stayed with me:
“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?”
So it is improbable that the bar themselves sprayed the vile graffiti, but not impossible - motive being the stitch-up of the person originally accused and who they have understood to be "fighting against the bar”.

I think there's far more probable and likely scenarios to pursue and rule out before the elaborate "they did it themselves, guv" ruse becomes a credible candidate.
The allegation - if proved untrue - is also deeply defamatory.

Indeed. I am presuming the Police are assessing all angles,will rule out the impossible, and apprehend the culprit, no matter how improbable.
