Sir Sadiq: standing up to money-hungry bastards who want to terrorise the British population for profit, even if it means his emails have to be searched
Nigel Farage: licking as many boots of money-hungry bastards as he can, as long as it makes him a little bit richer and a little more famous
If somebody is prepared to allow lawyers to search their emails then there isn't really any point searching the emails since you already know there's nothing in there that's incriminating.
They seem to have got to the stage of the lawsuit where they just start throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, which usually means they don't actually have anything material to use.
I see. I think it's good though that Sadiq is willing to contest this legal case, when the UK's right-wing politicians probably would have rolled over a long time ago if they were offered some kind of financial reward.
