The libel trial: McAlpine -v- Sally Bercow..

Leading Libel Judge, Mr Justice Tugendhat, must stop Lord McAlpine’s false libel claims. He must uphold the defence of, SALLY BERCOW.

 Judge Tugendhat must closely examine, not only, the case, McAlpine –v-Sally Bercow; he must also closely examine everything else McAlpine and his legal team have been up to recently making similar, exact libel claims. He must look closely at, all the previous blackmailing and intimidation, they have employed, in order to force those that they accuse, to settle out of court.

Lord McAlpine, and his corrupt legal team, has been intimidating and blackmailing many people and, institutions, such as the BBC and ITV, into ‘settling out of court’ huge financial settlements or, face the threat of horrendous expense, in legal litigation defending themselves in court. And, they have been making a fortune out of that process. When, actually, Lord McAlpine’s, ‘name’, has never even been mentioned, or published at all.

On November 2^nd 2012, the BBC ‘Newsnight’ program transmitted a report of an investigation it had been conducting into an allegation that, allegedly, young boys had been sexually abused in a Welsh care home. McAlpine’s name was never mentioned. But, during that program it was suggested that a prominent ‘politician’ of Margaret Thatcher’s government, was the abuser.

 Lord McAlpine, and, his legal team, immediately seized this opportunity to sue the BBC for ‘libel’. Yet, the BBC had never once even mentioned his name. The BBC weighed up the threat of the huge expense of litigation, and the likely public opprobrium, whilst a defence would be presented to a court in a lengthy trial; and, so, dishing out a settlement of £185,000 of ‘public statutory licence fee’ money that, ought to have been used for the making of BBC programming, in settlement of that ‘threat’; appeared to be the easiest option.

On the 8^th November 2012 during the ITV program “This Morning”, Phillip Schofield, the presenter of the program, passed over to David Cameron, the Prime Minister, a document, which he claimed was a ‘list of names’ of alleged paedophiles, claiming that this ‘list’, he had obtained from the Internet. The passing of this document to the Prime Minister, was so fleeting, and lasting only a few seconds of duration; yet, Lord McAlpine and his legal team recognized a yet, further opportunity, to make another false libel claim; and, cash in. They, asserted, that during the passing of that document to the Prime Minister, the list of names upon it included Lord McAlpine’s name; and, that during the passing over of that document, the TV viewer could clearly see his name displayed. They sued ITV for libel.

I happened to have been recording that, “This Morning”, transmission on my DVD recorder/player. And, so when all the fuss over this incident ‘hit the headlines’ I replayed that recorded program in ‘slow motion’. This revealed that it was absolutely impossible to see clearly, any ‘names’ on that list. So, why did ITV settle that libel claim? ITV paid McAlpine £125,000, for nothing. Because ITV, just like the BBC, were fearful of the high expense, and the public opprobrium that might result in defending “The Truth”  in any trial in a Court. McAlpine’s blackmail and intimidation had succeeded again.

SALLY BERCOW is the only one so intimidated, who has had the guts and the courage to resist; that is why she is now defending herself in, “McAlpine –v-Sally Bercow”, in a Court of Law.

Two days after the BBC “Newsnight” program was transmitted, SALLY BERCOW posted a tweet on Twitter. The words posted on that website were these: “Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *Innocent face*”

Lord McAlpine alleges that this is libel. But, it is not libel at all; SALLY BERCOW has not accused Lord McAlpine of anything. In her tweet, she merely poses a question; which, in the view of all the rumours that were in circulation at that time; was a legitimate question, to pose. It was merely a flippant tweet.

But, McAlpine seized the opportunity, to blackmail and intimidate, and, to grasp more money again.

Judge Tugendhat, in judging “McAlpine –v-Sally Bercow” must take into consideration all of the blackmailing and intimidation activities of Lord McAlpine and his legal team previously, as the true motivation, for pursuing this action against SALLY BERCOW. Was, McAlpine truly libelled? Was, he actually accused? Or, is this trial merely another ‘opportunity’ for McAlpine and his legal team, to make more money?

It is the previous activities of the blackmailing and the intimidation of McAlpine;

That, reveals the, TRUTH.
