We publish in the UK. That's where we are and where the button that says, 'Publish' gets pushed. Our servers are in the UK. These two points are not related though.

Just because you happen to read it in the UK makes it no more relevant to UK law than if I'd sent you a letter via the States

For the purposes of defamation law, the content of a website or newspaper which is accessed in England & Wales is litigable in E&W courts, regardless of where it was created. Hence libel tourism.

As for this scheme - I have no idea because i haven't bothered to read the bill.

If that's the only criteria, we're in trouble.

Good to see the Evening Standard breaking the budget embargo and tweeting most of the contents. I wonder if that would be covered.
