British Woman's Twitter Comments Spark Expensive Libel Claims

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the BBC: "A woman who complained about an unpaid £146 invoice is facing a libel battle that could cost her more than £100,000. Lesley Kemp, 55, took to Twitter claiming that a company based in the Middle East had failed to pay her promptly for transcription work. Now the firm is suing Mrs Kemp, of Milton Keynes, for defamation, claiming up to £50,000 in damages and a further £70,000 in costs. The company, Resolution Productions, based in Qatar, has yet to comment."

    As Americans, we should never take our freedoms for granted

    Especially if you deal with the Muslims, you have to be double careful

    That company in Qatar are Muslim owned and operated, that poor British woman did not understand the barbarism of the Muslims and that's how she ends up facing all the legal fiasco now

    As a businessman I sometimes had to deal with people from the Middle East, from Pakistan, from Turkey --- I tried my best not to, but then, business is business --- and when I deal with the Muslims, I be extra careful, because those people will eat you alive if they perceive that you are weak

    That's true. This form of extorsion is probably another Al-Quaida revenu stream. Everyone should make a point not to deal with Muslim connected businesses. Even if you don't get ripped off you will be funding terror
