Yes quite. But you're posting to the wrong person. I was merely pointing out that you do not have to prove that you're not what someone has labelled you in any libel case, not if there were grounds for libel. [Post edited 11 Oct 2017 16:43]

Lily Allen on 00:41 - Oct 11 by Highjack | Yes essentially, and since I have no convictions for "kiddy fiddling" it would be an open and shut case. Lily, despite her inate vacuousness has only described Boris as a renowned eccentric. I'm certain she would have had advice before posting that one. |
I’m no barrack room lawyer (we’ve got a few of those here) but my understanding is that if I called you a monkey and you sued me for libel or slander it would be for me to prove that you’re a monkey in court, the onus wouldn’t be in you to prove that you’re not. |  |

Lily Allen on 16:34 - Oct 11 with 949 views | westwalesed | Yes she should be able to say what she wants, as long as she's willing to risk being sued for libel. |  |

It's the difference between UK and US libel law. Under both U.K. and US law Lily Allen is a silly attention seeking prat. |  | |  |

So in UK libel law if I called you a corrupt harpie (not that I ever would) and you sued me it would by up to me to prove in court that you are indeed a corrupt harpie? In US law it would be for you to prove that you’re not a corrupt harpie. Correct? |  |

Just leave the word 'corrupt' out and you'll be fine. [Post edited 11 Oct 2017 20:17]

Yup. There was a particularly good episode of The Good Wife on the subject :-) |  | |  |
Lily Allen on 20:32 - Oct 11 with 785 views | monmouth | Scott Turow's novel 'Identical' is based on it too. Surprised me I must say, but the Yanks have got it right. If you sue it is up to you to prove you are not what has been alleged. |  |

If that's the law in America, then sorry that's just wrong, surely the onus of proof should be on the accuser not the accused. |  |
