Ukip MEP ordered to pay Labour MPs £160,000 in libel damages

Oh dear, seems one ukip MEP has been telling 'porkies' and has been succesfully sued by three Labour MPs to the tune of £160,000. I hope she has a deep purse!!!

Let's get the story, UJ

The UKIP MEP criticised three Labour MPs for Rotherham over the fact that they didn't do anything about the child abuse there

To say that they didn't know what was going on is unbelievable
The whole thing smacks of an Establishment suppression

The story is in the link attached to my thread, the High Court Judge, after hearing all the evidence on both sides, determined the claim and imposed the penalty.
