An example?

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

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.

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.

I'm not, I'm defending this site. Litigious individuals, and it's now a fashion, can make publishers lives horrid. Or do you want the site closed down?

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.

That is chilling.  I hope that someone has reported the ones who filmed themselves having sex with girls/women and then passed the film to other people.  They should all be arrested. I remember hearing about a BBC radio reporter called Benjamin Wilkins was arrested in 2008 and jailed in 2010 for filming himself having sex with quite a number of women via a hidden camera in his bedroom.  He also had a camera in the bathroom.  The footage was discovered by a a girlfriend who contacted a woman in the film and she went to the police.  He pleaded guilty to11 counts of voyeurism and sentenced to 8 months in prison.    He did not pass the films to anyone else.  Info about Wilkins is still out there.  Several newspapers including the Telegraph and the Daily Record wrote about it.

Dulwich College doesn't seem to have issued any statement on its (surprisingly active!) news page, although tbf it's not clear if anyone has asked them to comment since publication of the story. Farage has denied "directly" racially abusing anyone. 🤔
