Another bill for the taxpayer
Probably blame the judge. Going by his name, he doesn't sound local. Knoworrimean?How is he going to pin this one on Labour?
He will definitely try spin it. Use tactics straight from the Trump play book. Just like all this generation of Tory *****.Probably blame the judge. Going by his name, he doesn't sound local. Knoworrimean?
I'm guessing there will be some spiel from an anonymous 'Teeswork spokesman' saying that in the long run the decision will cost the tax payer tens of millions in additional costs due to lack of access to the site so BenT was right to take the case to court in the public interest.Let's see how the Gazette report this one.
Give them chance to have their briefing with Ben where he will tell them the angle to take.Let's see how the Gazette report this one.
This is the PD Ports access case which Ben was always going to lose.Is this the case where Gibson is quoted talking like some type of gangster in a meeting?

Yes.Is this the case where Gibson is quoted talking like some type of gangster in a meeting?
Oh yeah, it was that meeting with Gibson. The lawsuit had nothing to do with Gibson though, he was just Ben's attack dog at the time.I’m pretty sure a newspaper covered a meeting between PD and Houchen that Gibson attended. If the report is accurate, Gibson came across like a total knobhead.
Thanks, that’s the one. Absolutely shameless from Gibson.
There's nothing to obfuscate though surely? It's PD Ports land, always has been and this court case was never in the public's interest. £5m of taxpayer's money spaffed up the wall.Gazette has gone with the tactic of publishing the full ruling to try and obfuscate matters.
If BenT had won there would have been a banner headline and a picture of him in full high viz, grinning like a Cheshire cat saying what a disgrace PD Ports are.
"However, PD Port’s claims of proprietary estoppel - a legal remedy that can be used when a landowner has promised property will be transferred to someone else at a later date, only to later renege on their statement - fails."There's nothing to obfuscate though surely?
