The Metro newspaper reported on Wednesday how a student won £10,000 in damages from a former friend. Raymond Bryce, a law student, failed to see the funny side of chef Jeremiah Barber’s post of a paedophiliac picture on his Facebook page with the words “ Ray, you like kids and you are gay so bet you love this picture, Ha Ha”. Bryce sued Barber in the High Court for libel and won damages. Barber ended up with a large money Judgment against him, a conviction for circulating indecent images of children and 150 hours’ community service. This is yet another illustration of how some people seem to take leave of their senses when using social media. What a thing to “joke” about!
