Nine iron ... long iron ...
In the final analysis, it ain't the club. It's the swinger.
Or as Houdini once said, "It's not the size of the wand that puts the rabbit in the hat. It's the magic of the magician."

If you were a "standard ordinary history teacher" in a "girls secondary modern school", that is to say "a girls school, dominated by women, on the staff as well..." making such accusations might be quite telling.
Accused by one's own mouth etc.

It always used to be a business trick when dealing with someone who puffs themselves up to imagine them stripped down naked.
But there are some cases where such an exercise can be more damaging to the psyche than an aid.

I well remember all the lies when Charlie was being censored over there.
Now Peter cannot even defend himself against SUCH filth. Had there actually BEEN such a complaint I daresay said lady would step up and say so in public. Only a coward and a true lowlife posts defaming tripe without a hint of evidence. As the only voices of reason and truth leave they will be left with the LenCos and Burtons and Walkers who will promote de-education.
And where in all this is the good John Simkin?

A very strange and loud silence, I agree. I hold a PM that includes the charges; my denials; a repeat of and expansion of charges; my demand to 'put up or shut up'; then a caution that the matter must never be spoken about openly by me [implied that that way he'd then not either]. Fair play was never his strong suit.

Peter,
Given the nature of British libel laws, perhaps you've been handed a truly golden opportunity to right your financial ship.
Take old Nine Iron to the cleaners!

Interesting research....
English law allows actions for libel to be brought in the High Court for any published statements which are alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual (or individuals) in a manner which causes them loss in their trade or profession, or causes a reasonable person to think worse of him, her or them. Allowable defences are justification (i.e. the truth of the statement), fair comment (i.e. whether the statement was a view that a reasonable person could have held), and privilege (i.e. whether the statements were made in Parliament or in court, or whether they were fair reports of allegations in the public interest). A defamatory statement is presumed to be false, unless the defendant can prove its truth. Furthermore, to collect compensatory damages, a public official or public figure must prove actual malice (knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth). A private individual must only prove negligence (not exercising due care) to collect compensatory damages. In order to collect punitive damages, all individuals must prove actual malice.

Sounds like you can start shopping for a new Aston-Martin.
Seriously, the intent of the rumor-spreading was to damage your reputation and your bona fides as a teacher, writer, and researcher. It also was a direct attempt to wreak havoc on your ability to earn a living.
Also, the timing of this libel is of keen relevance.
IMMEDIATELY TAKE SCREEN CAPTURES OF THE ACCUSATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE MADE IN PRIVATE E-MAILS.
But by all means do NOT take my word on any of this. Get yourself a good barrister, or solicitor, or whatever in hell they produce at the Inns of Court.
QB quick.

Perry, Have you checked your email. From this one [I was much too logical for his pea-size ganglion - why did I bother?!] they got MUCH worse. I have them all secure. I'd forgot his mention of you - divs on the Martin?

E-mail checked. More, please.
As for the A-M: I'll take it on days with a "y" in their spellings.
