Hahahahahaha!
The councillor, of Minster and Woodmansey ward, briefly launched a GoFundMe appeal called "Jeremy Corbyn VS Cllr Paul Nickerson Legal Fees" - but it only raised £30 before he decided to remove it.

He’s skint, or he’s a pussy.
It was satire. Was it funny? Subjective. Was it defamatory? Was it fuck. He’d have had a very strong defence. But could he afford the lawyers? Everyone’s man of the people social justice martyr Corbyn clearly could.

This Councillor must have been a bit unpopular though,
- so that his party just threw him under the bus, rather than supporting his defence.

I don’t see how.
That selfie on the beach with a can of lager just oozes charm and charisma.

You haven't helped the defence
As my old news editor used to say, if you're going to libel someone, do it properly. say exactly what you're accusing them of. He didn't - he implied to a reasonable person that he sympathises with the hospital bomber - great band name btw.
Corbyn hung out with a great many objectionable people, as I know well. That doesn't stop what this chump said being defamatory and pretty much undefendable. If I were any politician's legal adviser I'd recommend going after anyone with over a few thousand followers if they could be identified.

Hmmm.
You do know, with all your erudition, satire doesn’t have to be literally true, right?

Got a link to the offending article?

It was clearly defamatory
It's not the point that anyone would believe that he actually laid the wreath it's the clear implication that he sympathises with terrorists.
You need a copy of McNae's.

He has form, therefore fair comment. “Present, but not involved.”

That has to be one of the grimmest local newspapers.

"Alongside his now defunct appeal to pay his legal fees, Cllr Nickerson has also created a separate GoFundMe appeal to raise £10,000 for charity."
Yeah right.
