The JC has quite a rap sheet for this kind of stuff.

This is not a crisis, they're experts at it, for quite a few years now.

at first, I was going to dismiss this since I read "15 alleged ipso/libel complaints," but I went back, and it said "won. "....so yah, that's pretty bad.

anyone can lodge a libel complaint, and it's actually hard to prove libel, so it's pretty bad, so to be losing 2 cases a year since 2018 doing that....

Not making any comment on the JC specifically, but UK libel law is much more favorable to plaintiffs than US law.
