As expected he’s lost his defamation case against Vine after he called him a nonce repeatedly on Twitter, and has had to pay £75k in damages plus legal costs
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.

It takes a special level of twuntery to make Jeremy Vine the good guy.
Still, got to laugh. My favourite Joey Barton arc was him coming to Scotland after being in the English Championship team of the year and only lasting five games in the Scottish top flight before going back home because he couldn't cope with the intensity of the game.

You won't be awarded damages for reputational damage if you can't demonstrate that people didn't already widely consider you to be a nоnce.

The fact that we are all talking about both of these people on here kind of proves a point.
People are making these idiots relevant. Just dont give them the air time.
This whole affair was just about getting them clicks on the internet.

STATEMENT REGARDING JOEY BARTON:
The news of Joey Barton’s apology and commitment to pay damages and costs is not the final outcome of this case.
After five defamatory tweets, my lawyer offered Barton a chance to settle: pay £75k, plus my costs, and make an apology.
He ignored that offer and posted more disgusting tweets about me, even publishing my home address to his followers.
When I then took my case to the High Court, a judge ruled that TEN of the tweets I complained of were defamatory. Having lost, Barton has returned to the offer we made after tweet 5.
There has therefore been a parallel action on tweets 6-10 and Barton will pay further damages for these. A number of other steps — including statements made in Court by way of apology — are still to be taken, and Barton has agreed to pay my legal costs of all of the claims.

More football clubs were willing to hire Joey Barton than Sol Campbell as a manager
