Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster has been awarded £125,000 in damages after a defamatory tweet by TV presenter Dr Christian Jessen.
Presumably that means he's going to have to make more programmes featuring diseased weenuses in order to pay for it.

Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster has been awarded £125,000 in damages after a defamatory tweet by TV presenter Dr Christian Jessen.
Dr Jessen tweeted an unfounded claim that the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader had been having an extra-marital affair on 23 December 2019.
The post remained online until Dr Jessen deleted it on 7 January 2020.
A judge at the High Court in Belfast said it was an "outrageous libel" which was "grossly defamatory".
Mr Justice McAlinden said the tweet had attacked Mrs Foster's "integrity at a most fundamental level" and involved the "trashing in a very public fashion" the relationship which was most important in her life.
He told the court the tweet had called into question her suitability to hold the office of first minister at a time when delicate negotiations were continuing on the re-establishment of the Stormont executive after three years of deadlock.

I don't think there are many pious unionists.Originally posted by Lance View Post
it must drive the yanks crazy when they find out about NI.
They instinctively support the republic (it's a republic, it's thrown off the shackles of the imperial master), but then they realise the unionists are just as bat tulip crazy (sorry. pious and faithful) as they are.

No and I would not either. However, it is well known in Ireland that she is not lovely and has a personality as I described.Originally posted by d000hg View Post

Her personality is about as lovely as cancer.Originally posted by ladymuck View Post
Maybe she's got a lovely personality?
Still a minimum 50 pinter!
Any way she is gone. Many people with interests in Ireland will be delighted.
We opened a bottle of champers here last night to celebrate
