Someone with a bit more legal brains than me, will he have a case? Because I don’t believe suing law work the same here and there.
Between invading Venezuela and now this, he’s really pulling out all the stops to distract from the fact he sucked Bill Clinton’s dick, huh
The leader of our “closest ally” whom we have a “special relationship” apparently.
Starmer has handled Trump well up until now, but this will be a real if test if he can get him to get a grip.
Well good luck to him! I don’t know how you can sue for defamation from abroad when you’re a paedo cunt who’s actively overthrowing democracy in his own country for saying you’re a cunt and overthrowing democracy, no matter how much the Beeb fucked up on this.
I really don’t understand why they edited the speech in that way though, they could literally have played hundreds of Trump clips to show how he his. Why lie at all?
I wish it wasn’t Trump doing this, but it’s just so, so lovely to see the BBC at the receiving end of threatening letters and demands for money for once. I hope their senior directors now feel what my elderly neighbour felt.
What’s that Donny? We can’t hear you over Big, Beautiful Bill’s bulging balls
Good. Hopefully he can threaten them with visits to investigate the BBC’s continued use of his likeness and threaten them into paying him whether he has a right to or not.
As one of millions of TV licence holders who funds the BBC, a shareholder effectively, he’s getting f@ck all from me… let’s see this narcissistic fascist man baby in court.. He can come and knock on every door in the U.K. for his money..
The BBC should tell him a) F*ck off and b) Grow Up
I don’t watch the BBC but if this helps gets rid of the licence fee even the BBC itself I don’t think I’ll be shedding a tear
Good luck to Trump, I watched that documentary when it aired. The quotes were right at the start, used as a dramatic opening and pretty obviously an edit. At no point in the actual show was it claimed he said words in that order.
In hindsight a bad move from the BBC but no way could you say they intended to put words into Trumps mouth.
As said in another thread. Huge fuck up by the BBC, absolutely glaring incompetence and people rightfully deserve to be resigning and getting sacked over it. Apology was also warranted
But, what damages does he have? He won the next election. He’s legit the President, the doc clearly did not dissuade people from voting for him, nor did he face criminal charges over the event.
Obviously this is all posturing though anyway.
Wait didn’t he say he eoukd not sue if the bbc posted a retraction ?
Which they did now he is sueing?
Looks like he can’t keep his word.
IANAL but to my mind (correct me if I’m wrong as long as you’re not a right wing cretin) he doesn’t win in court if he can’t come at them another way. He has regulatory powers that he can fuck over US broadcasters with so they sometimes capitulate but he has no such influence on a UK broadcaster.
UK courts won’t entertain his bullshit and he is a nightmare client with a history of non-payment so he won’t get competent counsel for an international punitive damages claim.
I personally won’t ever pay a penny of a license fee ever again if he gets half as much from them, he’s suing over an edit but he absolutely cajoled and manipulated his fat necked, moronic supporters into an insurrection regardless of how it was presented on Panorama.
Get to fuck, you absolute parasitic, paedophile bitch.
I am confused how he can actually do this from a legal standpoint. Can someone explain ?
Would love to see him in our courts just for the spectacle alone.
Watch as the useful idiots who have been all over the BBC for this editing business nod along in agreement. Maybe Britain should rename some buildings after him, too, and send him a shipment of young girls as a peace offering.
I mean, honestly, how dare Britain besmirch such a noble convicted criminal and paedophile as Donald Trump!
Not happening. His *shakedown for a settlement* tactics work with US broadcasters because he can use his office to influence business outcomes for them and their parent companies.
Won’t work with a publicly owned foreign broadcaster.
A man who used to say Jeffery was a good friend and Epstein says he was a very evil man….
Time to get an Award investigating documentry publish exposing Trump
There’s some extremely angering about this. The BBC has been funded through British tax payers. If trump were to succeed in this, then he will be taking money from the pockets of the British public given for public broadcasting.
And is he suing in a British court? As suing in the US won’t doing anything
Eta the article says Florida. How is a US court going to enforce a judgement against the BBC….
Seems reasonable.
You can’t go around deliberatejy manipulating news to fit a social agenda of “orange man bad”
BBC should do what it’s tax later funded for,
Report the news, not make up news.
Guardian next please
Trump says a lot of things when all he ever does is bluster and sexually assault women and minors.
When bbc apologised, it was so obvious that he is going to do this. Talk about enabling a guy.
This is not about President Trump. It is about the integrity and standing of the BBC and by extension the United Kingdom. What the editorial staff of the Panorama documentary did was wrong, pure and simple. They are perfectly entitled to their personal beliefs but they work for an organisation that must be seen to be impartial at all times. Their bosses have been forced to resign as is proper and hopefully there will be dismissals to follow.
A billion ? Surely it should be a trillion. What’s wrong with the guy, is he lacking in confidence?
