I wonder if Hopkins thinks of libel damages as incidental expenses in her line of spite spiel
stuff, a bit like a travel card for normal people..

What's laurie's cut?

 

[Dan U]

Over 100k of costs to be paid on account, i.e immediately. More later I think

Well that sure escalated.

Take a look at @Law_and_policy's Tweet:

He goes on to tweet that this is in addition to Hopkins own costs.

Fucking lawyers sure know how to charge.

Interestingly, the writers of On the Buses named their main character after reading some of Judith Butler's early works. Reg Varney himself was a Maoist.

Honourable mention in the judgement and a chapter in a forthcoming book no doubt.

I doubt it tbh. I'm sure she gets paid well by the Mail but my guess is that's it's nowhere near enough to make the sort of money being talked about here incidental. She's not that valuable to them IMO - other hateful gobshites are easily available.

Expect a "how can I afford my kids education now" piece soon

500 grand is a lifechanging amount of money for Hopkins. She isn't a multimillionaire I don't think.

 

[8den]

I think the splendid part of this is, Munroe offered to settle this ages okay if Hopkins donated 5k to charity, now it's going to cost her 300k.

 

[killer b]

now it's going to cost her 300k.

plus her own costs.

Doesn't surprise me, I read Bleak House and not much has changed since then I guess.

Rod Liddle's about to tweet something hateful about Loose Women in the next 5 minutes. It's what passes for a job application nowadays.

It's hard to work out really - all the TV she's done will pay well, but I imagine the costs of maintaining the lifestyle she puts across won't be cheap.

well about double that, if she hired as expensive lawyers herself.

Hopkins is hawking the shit out of her new book today.

noun
noun: Schadenfreude; noun: schadenfreude

1. pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
   "a business that thrives on Schadenfreude"

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Good. I'm not a fan of this country's libel laws, but the more suffering and humiliation felt by Hopkins and other such trash and vermin the better.

 

[8den]

Hopkins is hawking the shit out of her new book today.

An author gets (roughly) 10% of a books cover price.

If her book is retailing at 8.99, thats a fuck tonne of rainforest thats needs to felled before it covers her costs.

556173 copies?

over half a million is a big bite for hopkins to cough up. i don't imagine she has that sort of amount lieing around. She may have a hefty mortgage to pay off as well. She will be feeling a lot of pain today and we should all take a moment to reflect on her suffering .....

The moment where she wondered about going with the offer of a 5k hit was no doubt like The Great Huhne thinking 'hmmm, perhaps she could take the points, that might work'.
