Why are we sending our tax money for foreign anti-American propaganda??
Not nearly enough by today’s standards.
Better do it. They dont have the bogus restriction on defamation actions by public officials of New York Times v Sullivan
Trump would never win a defamation lawsuit in England. They hate him as much as our own commies hate him.
i love it.
Awesome, although he should sue for a lot more.

England is truly a tyranny now isn’t it.
The UK’s Deep State isn’t worried about the outcome.
They can fix that.
They’re worried about discovery.
And since would be a civil case, the Hague Service Convention applies.

They also need a license for their pet fish.

“Trump would never win a defamation lawsuit in England.”
The law is an entirely different beast in the UK as compared to here. Defamation is dead serious business in the UK and their courts are heavily biased against it regardless of who the plaintiff/defendant happens to be.
I wonder what Ellen, Rosie, and George think of this?
$20 BILLION WOULD WORK FOR ME
