Fear of Libel Laws

In a piece called Scientifically Correct – Raymond Tallis, I drew attention to the problems of the British libel laws.  Now one of my favourite authors, Simon Singh, has had to give up his column in The Guardian because fighting the libel writ is taking too much time.

Simon says that it may come to the point, where quality American publications refuse to publish in the UK, because they are feared of the consequencies.
