Ahh. Definitely one of them then. Still. It's a rare move for one of the hacks to nail a story to the mast like this. Suspect he's had one too many blue wickeds. I have visions of him lying passed out in the settee. Bladdered. Vest on. While on the table next to him his phone is ringing and ringing. The shot then cuts to Alan Biggs in a phone box, furrowed brow, close up. saying "Pick up the phone , for fùxks sake kid, this is career suicide. Pick up!"* *nb In this particular adaptation Biggs role would be played by Christopher Walken. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Seeing as he's happy to broadcast this on Twitter (and directly at Westwood for that matter), I'm sure, in the interests of journalistic, fairness, integrity etc., that he'll be more than happy to give Kieran Westwood his right to reply.

theowlsman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Defammation of character unless Gregg can prove convincingly he’s on to something. Suspect he’s more likely to issue an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Pretty dangerous game to be playing by a so-called journalist. Accusing someone of being a "bad" person on a social media platform. If he is mates with Cameron Dawson, then I'm sure Cameron would be thrilled to see his mate Tweeting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 A defamation of character lawsuit will only be successful if the information published is: Untrue in some respect Exaggerated Reported in an intentionally misleading way In the UK, there is no statutory definition of defamation. Instead, various statements by the courts contribute to a common law definition of defamation. Each definition has a common link to the reputation of the person or business about whom the statement is made. The most widely regarded definition of defamation is a statement made which ‘tends to lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally’.

To be fair to the lad. This is about the most exciting thing that would have come from one of our hacks told the story about Quixall doing a poo in Bobby Charlton boot!

theowlsman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I might be wrong, but I suspect Westwood can probably afford to take this to court. If Gregg is providing a personal view, he is in the hot seat. If he provides a view in his capacity as an employee of a media company, then it is his employers that can be taken to court and held responsible for any perceived wrongdoing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
