British Libel Laws Suck

British law tilts heavily in favor of the defendant, making it a good place to launch a libel lawsuit. As the Guardian points out: “English libel law now applies to everyone on Earth. Make any accusation, anywhere in the world, and if the subject can demonstrate that a single person in England or Wales has read it, you could be sued here for every penny, cent, rouble, rupee or renminbi you possess.”
