Bothering Boris

Snap prediction: case is nonsense and £200k crowdfunded cash goes down the drain (otherwise know as legal fees).
Time will tell but I am pretty confident of this prediction.

The most interesting aspect (and perhaps only) of this case is that it's a "private prosecution."

[@commonopinion7529]

that's what i thought but a crowd funded private prosecution via a legal firm is not so interesting. perhaps i should look into the legal firm doing the prosecution? or perhaps if he is doing the court case on his own.

[@commonopinion7529]

Bankside Commercial Solicitors and Lewis Power QC brought the action on his (Marcus J Ball) behalf. And they will be getting the crowdfunded money in fees no doubt. I'm not impressed with Marcus at all.

@@commonopinion7529 Thx for the update. Yeah, this little private prosecution looks more like a guy trying to use Brexit to generate an income.

[@paulwilcox9184]

Would the crowdfunders be liable for any damages if Boris Johnson counter sues (if found innocent)?

[@commonopinion7529]

nope, a fool and their money are easily parted. Marcus Ball wishes to prosecute and any liability is his own to bear. He's walking into a trap (of sorts).
