"So, Ms Bindel, you have, as a matter of public record, stated several times that your lesbianism is a conscious choice made on the basis of your political beliefs?"
"Yes, your honour."
"And is it not the case that a substantial part of your case against Ms Brown for libel rests on her describing her knowledge of the existence of rumours that you may be a political lesbian?"
"Yes, your honour. Also, she is mean to me."
"And are you aware that, in order to prove libel, the remarks in question must be defamatory?"
"Yes, your honour."
"Ms Bindel, I understand your girlfriend is a lawyer of some repute, so I imagine she will have no trouble explaining to you who will be paying Ms Brown's legal bill, and just how much shit you have dropped yourself in right now."
