THE JOURNALIST WHO BROKE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA WAS THANKED WITH A £1 MILLION LEGAL BILL
Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla exposed one of the biggest political scandals in modern British history. Cambridge Analytica. Brexit dark money. Possible Russian influence in UK democracy. The kind of journalism that wins Pulitzer nominations and keeps people in power very nervous.
So what happened next?
Arron Banks the man who made the biggest single political donation in UK history at around £9 million to Brexit campaigns, sued her personally. Not The @observer , which published her work for years. Not @TEDTalks, which hosted her talk. Her. Individually. A freelance journalist.
The suit was over one sentence in a 2019 TED Talk and a single tweet, in which she said Banks had lied about a secret relationship with the Russian government. Banks denied it. He had, however, admitted meeting Russian embassy officials multiple times more than he originally told a Parliamentary committee.
@guardian, her own publisher, declined to fund her defence.
She crowdfunded her legal costs from 29,000 members of the public.
She faced potential costs of up to £1 million. She eventually won on the main issues in the High Court in 2022, but lost on appeal on one narrow point.
She was ordered to pay Banks £35,000 in damages, issue an apology, and delete certain tweets. She was also hit with a costs order of over £1 million.
The woman who exposed how democracy gets bought had to beg the public for money to stay solvent while doing it.
Seventeen press freedom organisations called the case an attempt to intimidate and silence public interest journalism. The UK government eventually introduced anti-SLAPP legislation. Partly because of what happened to her.
In the UK, you can crowdfund a journalist's survival costs after she exposes the possible corruption of a referendum ..
.. Or you can fund the laws that protect journalists before they get financially destroyed.
We chose the first option.

I hope my recent interviews have now clarified the facts about that £5 million gift.
To summarise:
It was an unconditional gift
It was for security
It was a reward for Brexit
It’s none of your business!
I could spend it on Ferraris
But I’m going to spend it on security
Although I haven’t spent it yet
I didn’t spend it on houses. Unless I did, which I could have
I didn’t declare it because it wasn’t political!
But Starmer being given some glasses definitely WAS political
Oh leave me alone!
@Kit_Yates_Maths Came across this in the 1980 whole earth catalogue apparently dates back to the 1940s - thought you might be intrested if you’ve not seen it already.
Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.
My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.
They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.
"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."
He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.
And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.
It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.
Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.
It's a real mess, man.
That guy sucks.
Nobody wants to live next to a war criminal... I've just signed my name calling for the government to investigate Brits who have returned from serving in the IDF - you should too! @DeclassifiedUK https://t.co/DUnJneVQNG
"If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know:
Jews all over the world are not responsible for the actions of the Zionist State of Israel!
Israel doesn't represent the Jewish people!"
-Rabbi Yakoov Shapiro in Jerusalem.
If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.
And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

In 6 months - 2,800 arrests were made in the UK for supporting Palestinian Action.
None were made for over 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals who have served in an IDF that's slaughtering thousands of innocent children in Palestine & Lebanon.
Please RT until this is reversed.
@AndyMcDonaldMP If I organised an event selling stolen goods I would be arrested and prosecuted, the same should happen for people selling stolen land. These’re is no excuse for the authorities not acting ( unless of course the accusation of 2 tier policing is true! )
@brucefenton I see a lot of evidence on social media of Jews criticising and/or objecting to Israel’s actions but is rarely reflected in the UK mainstream media media which is persistantly pro Isreal in both it’s language and coverage.
