I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Daily Mail only has the highest calibre of research journalists and everything they print is true.
My opinion of Spot has diminished some-what after learning that he actually bothers with this gutter press rubbish. How many times have they been sued?

From wikipedia:Fraser Nelson is a British political journalist and current editor of The Spectator magazine.
In addition to this role, Nelson is also a political columnist for the News of the World and a board director with the Centre for Policy Studies think tank. He was previously political editor of The Scotsman and a business reporter with The Times.
Educated at Nairn Academy and Dollar Academy, Nelson went on to study at the University of Glasgow and City University, London. He is an economic libertarian, sceptical of the reaction to global warming and a supporter of the Conservative Party and traditional conservative policies, and he has on occasion criticised David Cameron's leadership.Journalists don't get much more respectably qualified than that. Reading The Spectator is, presumably, okay by you?

I don't care how qualified he is... It's the shyte that's printed in TNOTW that I object to and I believe It's readers to be of the 'labotomy reunion Brigade'.

I'm not sure how to go about finding that information. I do hope you didn't ask while knowing the answer, that would have really wasted my time.
Here's a list of the number of times UK National Newspapers have printed an article headlined "Apology" referring to one of their earlier stories. That's usually an indication that they've lost a libel case though some might be gestures of politeness. The list could be made more useful if it were for the same date range for each paper but that would take rather more work. These cover the last 16 years.

Interesting but surely TNOTW should be in there some-where along with It's sister paper 'The Sun'. It has to be... the first lawsuit in my memory was the crap they wrote in the 60's about Jagger when they caqlled him a drug addict. That's for one. A recent lawsuit came from 'Max Mosely'. I understand an on-going Investigation is taking place pending a lawsuit between the NOTW and the BNP. Another I recall was the editor tapping Royal family phones. I will see what I can find.
Apologies can not be classed as cast Iron law suits.

Oscar anyone who reads the daily mail on regular basis is in no position to make any comment. There is more intellectual content and integrity in the beano than there is the daily mail. You're even adopting their style of writing-just rant never mind the quality. If I actually thought you believed that what you have just writ I would be compelled to ignore you henceforth as a dim witted closet BNP member.
Mind you can't remember the last time read the News of the world-in line or otherwise. Apart from just now :-5

But neither does it answer the question 'How many celebs have sued the NOTW'. Nor even your original question "How many times have they been sued". If you actually do have the answer then, as I said, I'm not sure how to go about finding that information short of knowing a report where it's been counted but I'd be interested to see the figure.

I'd be very Interested also... I'm trying to find some stats but they seem elusive on google. That does not mean to say they have never been sued. Jagger, Mosley, Alex Ferguson are three I am well aware of but there has to be more. I've also just found 'Lily Allen' and kate Moss'.

I expect there's hundreds. You'd need to specify whether you wanted sued or successfully sued, and the date range to look through, and it would cost hundreds of hours to get close to anything accurate.
Treating ForumGarden as Comedy Central is all very well but it leaves no room for others to hold anything resembling a serious discussion any longer. How would you react to a prefix "serious discussion" in opening posts as a marker not to go in and bring up perennial bêtes noires like the Daily Mail, Gordon Brown and libel?

Excuse me but I was not being humorous. You don't seem to have the ability to understand the damage gordon brown has done to this country. He is without doubt one of the worst chancellors in history, only Tony Blair can claim to have done more damage as a PM although give gordon his due he is doing his best to claim that as well. The mess now is largely due to his policies as chancellor, he is incompetent, inept, a numpty, calling him a wanker is being charitable-at least it implies he made someone happy, if only briefly.
I always assumed your adoration is intended to be humorous. If it is real I despair.
Name one chancellor who has done more damage than gordon brown.
