Tory councillor to pay 'substantial' damages to Jeremy Corbyn

Yes and so he should. I just wonder which charity Corbyn has decided to send whatever the payment is.

I have never met the man but know people who have.

By all accounts he is utterly dedicated to the people of his own constituency and has long been a good consituency MP  on their behalf.

I suspect he will probably give the money to some local charity that does good work for the people of his constituency..

But whomever he gives it too, it will probably become public knowledge in the fullness of time.

Dunno, but if there is an East Riding charity dedicated to giving arseholes a good kicking then that might not be a bad idea.

Personally when I receive out of court settlement damages I donate them to Shelter Box.

A Conservative councillor will pay "substantial" damages and legal costs to Jeremy Corbyn for tweeting a doctored photograph of the former Labour leader at the scene of the Liverpool terrorist attack.

Paul Nickerson, a councillor on East Riding of Yorkshire Council, apologised and has taken "full responsibility" for the tweet, which showed Mr Corbyn laying a poppy wreath at the burning taxi outside Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Mr Corbyn said his lawyer brought legal proceedings for libel against Mr Nickerson and they have now come to an agreement but the amount the councillor has agreed to pay has not been revealed.
In his official apology, Mr Nickerson said the fake photo gave "the completely untrue impression that Jeremy Corbyn supports terrorist violence including suicide bombings".
