There's not much of a libel/slander/defamation case in the UK when one party reports another party to the police or intelligence services there and doesn't go about otherwise making a public display of their suspicions. It's unfortunate that accusers who get it wrong are so often protected from being found liable for damages -- in the US much as in the UK.
Reminds of the time when we arrived late at LHR so missed connection to BOM.
My son, then about ten was parked about 15 ft away , always within my sight.
I had to wait In rebooking line so kept an eye on him, saw him talk toa tall Texan ( hat and boots).
After a while he looked at me , shook his head and carried on.
I asked my son about the exchange : T= Son where you headed ? S= Bombay, India. T where you from ? S : From Detroit ! T : OK, where are your parents from ? S:Oh they are from Pittsburgh !
No wonder the Texan walked away confused. We are from India ! Whwn I asked son why he said so, he said he saw that in a movie once and was dying to try it on someone. !!
