Simon Singh libel case dropped
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/apr/15/simon-singh-libel-case-dropped
very good news, but it has still cost him a hell of a lot of money to defend his right to express an opinion.
" "Dr Singh's predicament as the sole defendant in an action brought in respect of a comment piece in the Guardian newspaper (to which the BCA never directed any complaint) was seen as a rallying point for those concerned about the abuse of UK libel laws in connection with scientific debate." "
Hopefully the libel laws will get sorted in the new Parliament.
