In addition to what are facts, libel and defamation laws also have a number of built-in protections for free speech, such as honestly held opinion and public interest considerations. Perhaps posters should actually try and get an understanding of the law before accusing people of breaking it.

If I believe something to be a libel I would hardly repeat it. Would you? 

Why are you defending Nige?  I am sure, if he didn't say these things, he is a big boy and will take action.  His mate Don can give him advice.

If you have an issue with what people post, you can complain to Admin direct.

You can quote something someone else has said and add “this is libellous”. I genuinely would love to know what you’re thinking.

A website operator does have a defence available to them personally, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/26/section/5, against a complaint of a defamation posted by someone else on their website.  They're required to deal with the alleged defamation by acting in accordance  with the regulations  at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2013/9780111104620/pdfs/ukdsi_9780111104620_en.pdf.

There's an Explanatory Note at the end of the regulations, that provides a  plainer language summary of them.

This is absolutely shocking.

In today's Guardian.

Presumably The Guardian doesn't think any of it is libellous.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      And here we go again. A nice booming bomb drop sounding explosion to kick things off. Can anyone really remember a time when we had fireworks every week from September on?

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      Some terrible ones up near the ED estate this evening. I had reported two lots of misuse to the council but was told last week “it’s not for them to deal with” it’s only for the police. I asked them why they had a fireworks misuse button on their website if it’s nothing to do with them - he couldn’t give me an answer. The Met aren’t gonna give two figs about local issues like this but I will try and go through the SN team.

      Is Toast toast?

      By Sue · Posted

      Ah yes. That has just brought the revolting thought into my mind of spam on toast. And now spam fritters, which it was my sad misfortune to be regularly given for lunch at school, many many decades ago.
