It's about time that someone put 'the frighteners' on this alleged Newspaper.
They should be afraid......very afraid.... :o)

They were sued in 2008 by US billionaire Sheldon Adelson which cost them £4million in damages and his legal costs.

// Asked if the retraction would affect the suit, Harder [Trump's Attorney] replied: “It does not.”

Steve Klepper an appellate lawyer for the Baltimore law firm Kramon & Graham, said the inclusion of a blogger in the suit indicated legal maneuvering.
He told the Guardian: “Anytime you have a filing that adds a minor in-state defendant, it’s a flag that they were joined to prevent removal to federal court."

Klepper pointed to a Maryland defamation statute that might provide a basis for Melania Trump’s suit. It reads: “A single or married woman whose character or reputation for chastity is defamed by any person may maintain an action against that person.” //

It it goes belly up for the DM at least the 'Crosswords' section will not be as heavy on here.

Of more importance, I would be lost without the crossword :-)

[mikey4444]

Apart from a rapid decrease in posts from AOG, would anyone actually notice if the DM went out of business ?

In what way would Britain be disadvantaged if it were to happen ?

[Gromit]

Bazile,
Mrs Trump made a speech to the Republican Convention. Someone observed thata lot of it was word for word the same as Michele Obama had made in 2008. In other words, she plagarised Obama. Some underling has since admitted responsibity. None of that is conne ted to Trumps legal action against the Daily Mail.

[Bazile]

Oh that .

I thought that it was something inflammatory , which i had missed

[youngmafbog]

Well for a start Mickey it is free online, which is why so many use it.

Would it be noticed/ Certainly more than the Guardian going!!!
