That is not defence for the administrator or owner of the forum.
Here is what I have cobbled together on the subject of defamation. The communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressively stated or implied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government or nation. constitues a tort and as such is actionable in UK law. That a fact may be true is no defence where a person publicly reveals information which is not of public concern and the release of which would offend a “reasonable person”. It's a grey area all round and very often people simply withdraw and pay up rather than face their day in court. |

It is opinion stated as fact; no intelligent person would believe a scintilla of what David Noakes has posted.
It doesn't name a living individual other than George Bush, the world's most powerful elected representative, and he is not going to worry about David Noakes (who?). The allegation of the placing of paedophiles and perverts in high places will not attract libel cases, but will just tend to make this forum a laughing stock amongst political blogs and other fora. Outside of a decreasing number of Eurosceptics, David Noakes has, IMHO, no personal credibility whatsoever. It's not worth trying to give him an infraction as it will appeal to his sense of victimisation by EU disinformation specialists. I think we can indulge him a little longer. To be honest being insulted and abused by David Noakes is a badge of honour. I find it refreshing to be seen as worthy of attack by a scion of the Eurotruth (b@llsh|t and drivel faction) complement on this forum. David Noakes believes himself to be an important man, a leader and intellectual who is superior to us mere mortals. I'd hate to feed his delusions.

Bear,
"where a person publicly reveals information which is not of public concern and the release of which would offend a “reasonable person”." is drawn from privacy laws in the USA and doesn't apply in the UK.

H, IIRC, in English libel law the fact that something is true is a defence.

However since Sir James Goldsmith's attempt to revive the law of Criminal Libel against Private Eye collapsed years ago it is unlikely to trouble us in the future. Be that as it may, I think Mr Noakes is going to find himself in deep **** one of these days. |
