      No it isn't. You can have an opinion on it, and you can voice that opinion. But if you state it as a fact you invite consequences. Had Spurling started with "in my opinion" or "I question whether" then she'd have been rather safer.

      What can I tell you, that's how it works in practice. There's an old episode of HIGNFY where they start almost every sentence with allegedly to make the point.

      The hilarious thing about TERFs as a class of people is you always get to this English chauvinism shit eventually Libel tourism from vexatious litigators seeking out UK courts for SLAPPs is notorious, it's one of the most frequently discussed aspects of UK law

      In practice it seems like it has not, as we can clearly see with recent events Putting the burden of proof on the defendant remains a terrible, terrible idea

          AIUI the 2013 Act puts some of the burden on the claimant at least

          aiui (and i'm not a lawyer) the claimant has to prove that their reputation was actually harmed, but the defendant still has to prove that the statement was true (it's presumed false).
