It's worse than that. The UK courts have a long history of awarding libel damages for publishing stuff that is, er, true.

Anyone touting the UK's legal system as the way libel should be handled is a prize berk of the highest order, as here it really is all about who's got the most cash to spend on lawyers. The finest libel verdicts that money can buy.
