Look, I don't like that the UK doesn't protect the freedom of speech as well as the US but then again, it's not my country. However the UK is a friendly country that has close economic, military, and cultural ties with us that I would not like to see damaged.
If Britain does not reform its laws in this area though some of those ties might be harmed. For the past few years publishers have been pressing Congress to grant protection from overseas libel tourism lawsuits, from what I've read legislators have been waiting for Britain to reform those laws themselves because the alternative would seriously affect legal cooperation between our two nations. No one wants that to happen but it might.
