Nicely deflected.

Still doesn't change that what the journo said was untrue, which she admitted after initially trying to defend it.

The judge basically said that because Banks lied about much his Russian dealings it was reasonable for Cadwalladr to suspect that he'd lied about other stuff as well. She won the case by proving that Adams is a proven liar and she didn't damage his reputation given the state it was already in.

A very disingenuous spinning of the situation :D

She said that he told lies about a covert relationship with the russians and implied that these were in relation to funding the brexit campaign. 

The judgement includes the judge saying that he lied about his relationship with the Russians. 

. "But there were aspects of Mr 
Banks’s evidence that came across as evasive and lacking in candour. For example, his 
attempt to claim that the “Russian gold sector consolidation play” seven-page 
presentation was prepared by Andrew Umbers, rather than a document provided to him 
by Siman Povarenkin, was not credible. Nor was his denial that the leaking of the text 
of emails to the press in early June 2018 had forced him to give a more detailed account 
of his relationship with the Russian Embassy credible. "

 

What this case has established is that he had a covert relationship with Russians and lied about it but that there's no evidence that the lies were linked to campaign funding. 

Pyrrhic AF

:lol: You're spinning that he came out well from a case he just lost!

He did.  The journalist's claim was shown to be untrue.

Banksy was cleared with regards to the allegation.  You're engaging in all sorts of sophistic smokescreens and mirrors to deflect from the point at hand.

Maybe we should wait and see if he appeals?

Conservatives really are utterly disgusting pieces of shit. 

I actually felt sorry for that Amiss character for a few minutes until I saw his voting record posted on Twitter. f**k them all.

Here's what poor Mr Banks got so upset about.

 

Reading between the lines of the judgement, i'd got the impression that the judge thought that the previous judge had made a c**t of defining the "single meaning" of what she'd said.

Having seen that, i can see why- she clearly doesn't allege that brexit campaign money came from Russia. 

What an awful speaker though, amazed anyone sat through that.
