There is a story that libel lawyers tell, about a political satire play about a politician who was corrupt, self-serving, dishonest, incompetent and lied to the country, to Parliament and to the Queen. This politician was portrayed as a shameless sponger to took money from Russian oligarchs and gave them seats in the House of Lords, made his brother and school chums peers, was an adulterer who left a string of fatherless children behind him, and was unfaithful to his wife, his long-term mistress, his fiancée, and the young lady violinist he met at an awards ceremony.
The Prime Minister of the time, let's call him Joris Nobson, was enraged and demanded Carter-Ruck sued the theatre.
They said to him, are you going to tell the court that you recognise this corrupt, lying, shameless politician as yourself?
They did not take the case.
Whenever I comment unfavourably on racism, apartheid and genocide, aveatry and filly falsely accuse me of antisemitism.
