ITV will pay Lord McAlpine £125,000 after reaching a settlement over his libel claim. A statement will be read out in court on behalf of Phillip Schofield apologising for accidentally flashing his name on screen during an interview with the PM. Now they’re shelling out a six-figure sum. Pesky bloggers eh…

Ken let the cat out of the bag about Ed on 10 o’Clock Live last night:
“He is genuinely a socialist. And that is why I am delighted we finally got one because we haven’t had one for some time leading the Labour Party.”
Exclusive: Guidogram going out shortly.
And what about Nancy Schofield, he gets away scot free i suppose
They should dock it from his producer’s salary

George Osborne made a huge profit of £450,000 by selling his second home which was part paid for by the taxpayer, it was claimed today.
The Chancellor used Commons expenses to pay interest on the mortgage for the farmhouse in his Cheshire constituency.
He sold the property in January this year amid claims he was preparing for the Tatton seat to be abolished under plans to cut the number of MPs.
Mr Osborne bought the house at Harrop Fold Farm near Macclesfield for £445,000 in 2000.

I definitely saw ******’s name on that paper as Dave put it in his pocket. Dave should be sued.
McAlpine is onto a good thing here – just how rich is he – fabulously – and a major tax dodger – after his Thtacherite policies have devastated the British economy he then goes and lives in a tax haven – he may not be a paedophile – but he is a parasite
I hope McAlpine will be sponsoring this site, as a token of his appreciation!
I still cant work out what phillip schofield thought he was doing, its a really bizarre thing to do.
He’s ‘one of us’ ex beeboid
Aaah Scot free, coming soon to the House I trust
Heteroflexibility has its perks…
wots it all done to the viewing figures?
I’m so glad this is a Tory peer getting retribution. If it was Labour, I’d have outed him ages ago and now could be under some pretty expensive libel costs (if they paid the 25k up front needed to sue me…).
Not really into ‘up front’ to be honest old bean.
Police should investigate Philip Schofield’s conduct more carefully. I heard he spend most of the nineties in a broom cupboard with his hands up an underage gopher’s bum. Sicko.
Or inside Judge Jules and Jason Donovan if p0pbitch is to be believed.
‘Accidently on purpose’ morelike…
Can we move on now. This is getting boring.
And I object to valuable police resources being used for show trials for Mcalpine.
It isn’t just lefties that this will gag – wait til Labour are back in power.
That’ll be in 2075, if they’re lucky.
1 not 7
sadly i think they will get in next time with lib dem propping,.
You couldn’t see any names on that list. THis is a farce.
Then how McAlpine’ know his name was on it?
Did Philip tell him? or Holly?
or Dave?
How did Dave know they were all homosexual?
He very wisely pulled a fast one, which is a surprise given he is “thicker than a whale omelet”…..by introducing a “minority” he left the grey f*$kwit no-where to go……they do it all the time…..
…Had Schofield continued to push he would have run the risk of being labeled “Homophobic”….career over and Peter Tatchell on his case until the day he dies…..
“Homophobe card”…derives from the “Race card” guaranteed to…well see for yourself

well done “call me Dave”……didn’t think you had it in you
David Laws and the homsexual fraternity know all about using the homo card to silence any dissent against their criminal activities … now who else has used this tactic …. oh those that scream and squeal anti-semitism at any and every TheirGodofmoney given opportunity perhaps?
I always knew the PM was clever !
All things homosexual seems to be Dave’s priority at the moment.
‘Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, ‘What a good opportunity to have a bath!’
He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.
When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.
An Israeli had stolen them.’
The Israeli representative jumped up furiously and shouted, ‘What are you talking about? The Israelis weren’t there then.’
The Palestinian representative smiled and said:
‘And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.’
This comment was brought to you by Pallywood Productions.
The sad thing is he belives it
Very good.
Except Moses actually being an Israeli rather spoils it.
He was technically stateless at the time, having renounced his Egyptian citizenship
Did we let him in?
Moses was a basket case..
* applause*
We were there first!
The ‘Chosen@ holocausted my homeland…
errrrr does this mean that the Compo culture that Dave and co loathe is a alive and well.
No more cushy DayBreak or This Morning slots for Dave…oh dear
Thuper i’m thsure the viewers will love to see me get more facetime.
Can the Hampstead private equity operators and hedge funds please appoint a presentable leader of the Labour Party FFS ?
Or the Rothschilds with their cash contribution?
They would be doing the nation a service
Ed really should be relagated to some High School Debating Society
That’th thilly, but quite funny.
Do Rothschilds fund the Do Not Unseat Ed campaign as well?
Im amazed he still clings to his job, there again the rest of them are as bad, Hattie etc.
Must be lunchbreak at Labour Party HQ
I did not know that care in the community posted on blogs
ITV didnt even name him….and NO you could not see his name on the list.
STFU
LOL….Now ITV will hate you too….Great News
How’s your boots meal deal? Prawn and mayo? Highland spring and a bag of McCoys? Make sure the crumbs don’t get into your keyboard, your boss will not be pleased if you mess up the Unions PC
Moussa works in the private sector. Its a constant torment to him to be putting pennies into the bosses pockets.
But…needs must..
LOL. McWankStain £125K from ITV
…Im sure you all blame the BBC.
Moussa works???
Tory scum!
{Sent from the BBC Newsroom ipad}
I think you will find with a decent TV you could.
This is far less than the figure m’lord’s reps have been touting for the past few days. So maybe the defamation wasn’t as clear cut as they’d hoped…..
People can call me what they like for that sort of money.
Depending on a calculus of how much more work will be involved to get how many more pounds, it might have been worth it just to take what was on offer. Sorta like marginal tax brackets– why bust your hump just to make a few more quid anyway, seeing as it will cost you more to do so, a law of diminishing returns? Forgone opportunity enters into the picture as well– the more time a brief spends on a case, the fewer cases (s)he’ll get to handle in a career, so you’ve got to suck out all the juice you can out of the few cases you DO handle, see Jarndyce v Jarndyce. Clients aren’t exactly wild about that idea. So you have to tell them, how long do you want this out there in the public arena? Don’t you want “closure”? Can’t we draw a line under this and just move forward and get on with our lives? And you whip out all the statistics about how most cases settle at a figure which is less than the plaintiff would have preferred but more than (s)he could have realistically expected at verdict, and vice versa for the defence briefs and their clients. (Cf Mark Twain on “statistics”). “Here’s-a-bob-now-shut-your-gob” is how the game is played and ’twas ever thus, except for those very few for whom it really ISN’T about the dosh (e.g., the Winslow Boy case). Why shouldn’t Lord Mac play along?

I will now join the Cum Dansing on my Ice Programme
Which has an Autimat of 52.31%
So guacaomole to you all (you know the rest)
Only 125,000 quid?
That’s less than my expenses
You could not see the names. This is ITV simply avoiding legal costs.
I refer the honorable anon to the answer I gave some moments ago.
If the names were not visible, then how McAlpine, and his lawyers know his name was on the list?
Crikey thats over £300,000in two weeks for doing sod all except to pretend you are badly hurt.
Yes its a horrible thing to be accused of but Im sure an apology wouldve sufficed.
Would it be that the more money they pay, the more sorry that they are?
Seems fair to me.
You can get £200k for tripping over your own feet these days.
Slander lawyers 4U.
woman just got 900k for finger injury
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha –> BANK
To be fair it is appalling to accuse somebody of being a paedophile on national TV, the news would have been all over the world in a short time. I dont think you would be very amused if it was said about you. People on here can be too flippant sometimes.
BBC at its best:

Wonderful!
BBC sorted : check
ITV sorted : check.
Sally, your are next on ze list.
The Speaker has brought more disrepute to his Office and Parliament than even Gorbals Mick…..
He should resign NOW…
Let’s move forward from this cesspiut of filth
Ipropose that Lord A should set up a Fund for the victims of all this abuse
And put all the dama
Let’s move forward from this cesspiut of filth
Ipropose that Lord A should set up a Fund for the victims of all this abuse
And put all the damagaes he is being awarded into the Fund
£125K for NOTHING !!!!
ITV didnt name him, and no one saw the list on TV.
…It just makes you look worse.
Keep up the bad work
You keep saying this..and you keep being wrong. It was on youtube in minutes. And twitter .
If it wasn’t why are ITV paying up at all?
Would you pay up for not naming someone to someone who never named anyone on air?
ITV are in the wrong, and they know it. Schofield should have apologised personally in court. Who in ITV decided on the stunt, maybe there is a connection to Tom Watson?
errrrrr name was all over internet prior to Scofield…FACT
And that proves your point how?
You said no one saw the list. Now you say everyone has seen it.
Could you try and be consistent?
No it wasn’t. You can’t even read the THIS MORNING in caps on the other side. Find me one still where you can see his name. You won’t.
Try freezing the frame as he hands over the list!
MPs deserve to be ‘trusted’ again on expenses, head of watchdog claims
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9695658/MPs-deserve-to-be-trusted-again-on-expenses-head-of-watchdog-claims.html
Shome mishtake, shurely?
And now for Sally Bercow. Let’s hope she gets dragged through the courts. John Bercow should resign as Speaker.
“Today I will muddle on and hope for the best.”
Ed Balls: “Today I will muddle on and hope for the worst.”
Please do not forget this Epic Labour Car Crash which still makes me laugh
Says it all really
Britain has never seen such a bunch of Imbeciles, Cross Dressers, Wankers and Frauds…
They beamed down from the Starship Westminster, took all our dilithium* and beamed up again.
*(For ‘dilithium’ read ‘votes’ – Ed)
Made my afternoon!
And this pearl
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/uk-politics-video/6832893/Gordon-Brown-and-Al-Gore-walk-into-a-cupboard-in-Copenhagen.html
The BBC did not mention his name, the ITV did not show his name and yet they pay hundreds of thousands to him.
WHY???
I would like to see these cases tested in court.
Wonder if the money will be donated to a charity ?
Suggestions on a postcard please.
