New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

It's quite juvenile and not backed up by any supporting evidence. The lack of supporting evidence might make you fall foul of libel laws since how can it be a genuinely held belief rather than just an insult?

Why is it juvenile?  What if I was addressing that comment to DP?  Would it an innocent opinion, or libel?

[Mr Gray]

Kizzy has offered sound rational explanations for her belief. As you have with regards to your opinion that you're almost certain that CB is guilty. I don't think the expression of either opinion is libellous in these particular examples.

Kizzys sound rational explanation yesterday was...
Because they were there
Because I dont beleive a word they say


neither sound nor rational and hence libellous

Not if you understand libel law...you cant libel the dead

Thanks.

I've not studied libel law... I am an expert on private parking fines though if you ever need help!!! As far as I understand it what matters is your supporting evidence and whether it could therefore be deemed to be a reasonable opinion. DaveL will be able to answer your question though.

It sounds like a childish insult. Playground stuff.

So you don’t know what you’re talking about but are still keen to defend Kizzy come what may.  Tsk.

What a strange comment.  So if I’d had the chance to confront Savile and said those words to him I would be considered juvenile by you would I?

Which bit of supporting evidence did you miss?

I have  a private car park that some locals park on. Im thinking of putting up  signs explaining charges are made to anyone parking there....what do you think...Parking charges can be enforced but not fines

What are you on about?

Let’s try this.  In my opinion Martin Grime cued the dogs to alert to the McCanns car.  There is evidence to suggest this is so.  It’s my opinion.  Is it libellous or perfectly reasonable?

I googled libel defence and opinion....

"Honest opinion It can be used as a defence to defamation claims if the defendant can show that: that the statement in question was an opinion; that within the statement there was an apparent basis to the opinion; and. the statement is one that an honest person could have held."

I don't believe either you or Kizzy have been libellous in expressing an opinion that there was no abduction & that K&G know what happened to MM or expressing an opinion that CB was the abductor.
