A thread showing how, as The Sun's "confidential source" Rebecca Vardy lost the #WagathaChristie case, the "newspaper" (a generous description) itself took one of a helluva kicking in the judgment. NB Schadenfreude warning! 1/
You can tell that The Sun knew that it and its journalistic standards suffered withering criticism by the fact that, in 1000s of words of coverage, Murdoch's rag doesn't mention The Sun once! That's despite being named by the judge over 125 times in 290 paragraphs. 2/
A real feat of misleading court reporting. Using distortion, low cunning & the rare quality of *having no shame*. The case is all about Vardy (via her agent) selling stories to The Sun. Yet The Sun reports "stories were leaked to *the press*" & "selling stories to *the media*" 3/
You have not been sued for libel.
I have.
There are many things I have wanted to say in the last 6 weeks of #DeppvHeard
But I haven't.
Because whatever I say will be used to attack not just me but others too.
Because that's how libel works. That's the whole point of it.

So you'll not understand how it's not just designed to silence you. Although it does. But also to destroy you. Which it does too.
It's not a pissy business dispute. It's a full-frontal multi-million quid existential assault. On who you are.

Because it is a rich man's sport. That only rich men play. Because only millionaires get to have 'reputations' in the age of the internet. Sticks & stones, pal, you just have to suck it up.
