British papers will report many things censored by the U.S. media. However, when it comes to potential defamation claims, they curb their reporting.
The reason for this is that, unlike the U.S., truth of the assertion isn’t a defense in a defamation suit over there. That’s why you’ll see Hollyweird actors sue British tabloids for claims that would be laughed out of court if against a U.S. paper.
For similar British censorship, see last year’s refusal to name singer Elton John in reporting of a scandal allegedly involving his “husband” and a three-way orgy.
