Frankie Boyle wins libel case against the daily Mirror

[Gromit]

This bit made me chuckle...

// Ronald Thwaites QC said jurors should not find in the comedian's favour.
And he said if jurors thought that Mr Boyle had been libelled they should show their ''contempt'' by awarding damages of 45p - the price of a copy of the Daily Mirror. //

The Jury awarded him a total of £54,650 damages.

He won't give it to charity - that's just another of his unfunny jokes.

[Duncer]

He is still trying to get over Saturday. Was at a craft dinner the other week and Mr Rowbotham was very amusing.

[ummmm]

He's clearly funnier than you, duncer!

I agree, right decision.

The law works for everyone.

Just because you are an obnoxious vile man with a swinging brick where your heart should be does not exclude you from legal redress - and that is the wonderful thing about living here.

Justice is for all - you don't have to pass a culture test to be included.

[Duncer]

He's clearly funnier than you, duncer!

A matter of opinion. I find illnesses funnier than him.

[ummmm]

Difference of opinion - exactly!!

[Duncer]

So we agree on something?
