  Having dug up and watched how they edited it, yes a retraction was definitely called for. They cut out almost an hour of content to manipulate his words in a way a journalist should never do.

  Fuck paying him any money though. Their response here seems reasonable.

    Honestly. The gov should force any case to be in UK courts.

    Trump and his lawyers have no hope of using judges who owe him their position.

    Add to that the UK is (correctly) famouse for having extream liable protections, so most would see it as advantages. It is also very much a fact that truth is a defence, so the fact that multiple US courts etc have supported the claims.

    Adding. There is no way trump can stand up in a UK court and fail to commit purgery. He is just incapable. And will piss judges off no end.
