UK judge refuses Trump's appeal in suit related to Steele dossier

7. The UK courts are notoriously plaintiff-friendly

When it comes to defamation. Unlike in the US, they do not require proving malice aforethought to rule in a plaintiff's favour. If the crap people say about you damages you, malice intended or not, the courts can be quite sympathetic.

Given that leniency, I was really surprised that TSF lost this lawsuit. That he couldn't get a defamation case to stick in the UK, of all places, shows how utterly divorced his claims are from reality.

Or maybe it's that the court decided they wouldn't put up with rot from a perpetually whinging titty baby Yank against a British citizen. Unspoken tribal loyalty isn't unheard of among the lords and ladies of the High Court.
