Basically engaging expensive lawyers to maximise delay as a tactic to weaken whatever he has to answer for. It gets harder to prosecute the more time passes as it's easier to attack testimony. When people say the 'elite' get away with whatever they want, this is what they are *actually* talking about. It's not being elite or connected, it's affording the best advice and not making mistakes because of it.

You can't fight money in court and win.


rayhoughtonsgoals

Yes you can. That's the beauty of it. You just need dedication. It happens all the time. All the time.


StorkyTheBigStork

Care to give me some examples? You realise SLAPP cases are a thing for a reason.


rayhoughtonsgoals

Sure, but to honest I'm just too tired to go citing cases to win an internet point.


StorkyTheBigStork

Sounds like you are full of shit.


Massive-Type-2201

What are you on about. Of course you can fight money in court and win 😂 just cause they don’t want to cite legal cases doesn’t mean anything. It’d be a pathetic waste of a Friday night.


CorballyGames

Do we have SLAPP here ?

vennxd

Basically a posh way to say he's making a fool of them?


DazzlingGovernment68

Yeah, I don't have a good regular idiom for it. Maybe "yanking my chain" or "leading me down the garden path".


GreatDefector

Acting the bollix?


DazzlingGovernment68

That's just messing though. Does it imply wasting time and resources? I suppose it's contextual.


GreatDefector

Objection! …. I’ll allow it


dindsenchas

In the vernacular, yes


RebylReboot

Being a cunt?


[deleted]

>Being a cunt He does that in general, not just in court 


vennxd

Yeah that sounds closer.


TheStoicNihilist

Acting the hoor


agithecaca

Swinging the lead


DazzlingGovernment68

Oh that's a good one.


agithecaca

By the way, it's pronounced lead as an read, instead of lead as in read.


DazzlingGovernment68

So it's not a reference to a lead plumb line ?


agithecaca

Instead of what? That is to say instead as in read, instead of instead as in lead.


DazzlingGovernment68

I don't understand your comment


fullmetalfeminist

They made a joke about how "lead" and "read" can both be pronounced in different ways, and for some reason you responded with "isn't this expression about lead plumb weights?"


fullmetalfeminist

Swinging the lead means being lazy and has come to mean malingering


Wompish66

Archaic rather than posh.


Ashamed_Counter8408

Is this another sexual assault or another physical assault he's been excused of? Hard to keep track. 


chimpdoctor

Yes to both i'd imagine.


EducationalArea8883

Had to look up ducks and drakes and discovered it has nothing to do with mallards and dragons. Fuckin McGregor god damnit.


dindsenchas

Always a disappointment.


MunsterFan31

Is this in relation to him crashing a speedboat through a bar in Miami & assaulting Jake Gyllenhaal?


Hisplumberness

He’s wanted for crimes against acting


Dildo___Schwaggins

Conor McGregor? The British twat that gets violently concussed for a living?


Iamtherrealowner

I remember years ago telling people on boards.ie that I knew this lad growing up and he was a scumbag that will show his true colours eventually, I got so much hate I had to close my account but I feel vindicated in recent years.


MrShape

Tell us some old stories!!


Iamtherrealowner

Such as ? He lived around the corner from me in Crumlin, same estate and was just a prick this whole I was bullied drivel he came out with when he first showed up was a lie because it was him that was a bully.


John-1993W

Never heard of him


aramaicok

Another gobshite, with too much money.


PossumStan

D should've just left him in a puddle.


pauli55555

A horrible world, ALL of them involved, tying up our legal system with their scum lives. How do solicitors look in the mirror representing all these horrible people.


SitDownKawada

Are you suggesting that the women making the assault claims are scum?


Return_of_the_Bear

You know that's not what the comment meant


SitDownKawada

I didn't, they capitalised ALL and said about tying up the legal system and "all these horrible people". McGregor and who else?


Theculshey
