I just hope lord mcalpine doesnt settle out of court for an 'undisclosed sum, plus public apology'

Well you have to ask Is she guilty of spreading false rumours or does she and everyone else believe that what the BBC said was true.heaven forbid if you cannot believe what the BBC say where does that leave the rest of us.

Now she believed like the rest of us that the story was true,Does that mean that nobody can repeat what someone told them or they may also be sued for liable.

Nearly everyone in the country could be in trouble if that was the case.

If you repeat something that you were told or heard from a reliable source would it be your problem for repeating it or would the problem be strictly from the BBC for announcing it.

I never heard or read her tweet so I have no idea as to what was said, but if she said it believing it to be true and she got sued by lord whoever he was.Would she then be able to sue the BBC for giving out false information.

I suppose it all comes down to what your mother told you years ago. "If you can't say anything nice about a person, then don't say anything".

(That's why I never say anything nice about Brumas).
