    UK libel laws are fucking insane to me. Way over the top.

    Edit: You know what? In the USA, where you have to show actual harm, I’m happy to say that Lorna Rooke doesn’t just have the personality of Darth Vader. She fucking is Darth Vader.

      This was not libel.

      It was workplace harassment. And would also be a issue in the US.

      If you actually read what happened. The person that did this was an absolute arsehole.

      Filling in a personality test for a 3rd party while she is away. Then announcing your own negative result to all attendies when she arrives. While at an official work event.

      Is a clear case of harradement and abuse. The company not responding to this, And the victim feeling the need to resign. Is a valid reason to take it to court.

      PS Your response with 0 knowledge of the victim. Make you a bully. Anywhere.

        If you actually read…

        I know that the law in the UK is fucking shit. I don’t know the details because I don’t practice law. I responded with my interpretation of what I thought I read, because I read it.
