Defamation can have very negative impact on people’s life or institutions’ reputation. However this should not be a reason for people in the UK to sue anybody at anytime. Defamation cases in England are 140 times more costly than in the rest of Europe, and can completely ruin the person or institution sued. I think that the UK libel laws must be reviewed and relaxed a bit because at this point is can strongly jeopardise the so popular UK freedom of speech.
