If I published everything I have heard second hand I'd still be typing at Easter. For your convenience and education here is a snippet from Wiki that might help.<br /><br />English law allows actions for libel to be brought in the High Court for any published statements which are alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual (or individuals; note that under English law companies are legal persons, and may bring suit for defamation)[1][2][3][4] in a manner which causes them loss in their trade or profession, or causes a reasonable person to think worse of him, her or them. Allowable defences are justification (i.e. the truth of the statement), fair comment (i.e., whether the statement was a view that a reasonable person could have held), and privilege (i.e., whether the statements were made in Parliament or in court, or whether they were fair reports of allegations in the public interest). An offer of amends is a barrier to litigation. A defamatory statement is presumed to be false, unless the defendant can prove its truth. Furthermore, to collect compensatory damages, a public official or public figure must prove actual malice (knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth). A private individual must only prove negligence (not exercising due care) to collect compensatory damages. In order to collect punitive damages, all individuals must prove actual malice.<br /><br />English defamation law puts the burden of proving the truth of allegedly defamatory statements on the defendant, rather than the plaintiff, and has been considered an impediment to free speech in much of the developed world.<br /><br /><br />That final point is interesting, and I would happily defend myself in Court Of course I'd finally find out who you are too, which would be even more interesting!Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075632962275755022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-382784642062066772015-01-16T08:40:39.440+00:002015-01-16T08:40:39.440+00:00Ever heard of libel folks?.... perasonal opinions ...Ever heard of libel folks?.... perasonal opinions are one thing but if this has an impact on Mr Eden getting another job good luck at the court caseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-47846448310726708482015-01-13T22:37:59.044+00:002015-01-13T22:37:59.044+00:00Thanks Lee.

He didn't say if the directive had come from above although I assume it was discussed. A lot of the fleet reduction was due to shift pattern alterations and the cessation of one man one bus operations. Sadly though not enough surplus was left in the fleet to cater for the reliability of the vehicles that were left.Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075632962275755022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-22842238139635732492015-01-13T22:34:47.384+00:002015-01-13T22:34:47.384+00:00It will take a person with drive, ambition, and re...It will take a person with drive, ambition, and really good man management skills.
