Why do Brits engage in libel so much? They always get caught and they always end up paying out...a lot.
The more important question is: what exactly was the extent of the UK government’s knowledge of and assistance provided to the conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States, in which Steele is a central figure?
Was Steele still working for the UK government when he was engaged in this conspiracy?
We need to know the real answer to this question before we take any further cooperative steps with the UK in any field whatsoever.
A libel/slander case is generally harder than heck to prove in the UK. And thanks to their gagging laws, anything that might rate one rarely gets said/written. Over there anyway.
