Note the "If". Left had indeed claimed that there were attacks on his personal peers, and I agree that if it were true it is overstepping their right to privacy and probably life if the claimed attacks were death threats.

HOWEVER, if it turns out that Left is lying I will agree that Left have commited defamation against a group of possibly hundreds of thousands of people and I would really suggest to him at that moment (apart from what the law thinks appropriate, which is a somewhat long prison time) to really apologise and permanently stay outside of the stock market.

He is English and I knew from reading their (in a country sense) opinion pieces that they tend to put distance in unsure or unverified information, possibly because of the much stricter libel/defamation laws there (see as an example https://youtu.be/z49LjJj3VTI that discusses why there is avoidance on the phrase "tired and emotional" which acquired a different meaning in UK). I guess that this is just an unintentional carryover especially that American opinion pieces don't really delinate fact from opinion in their writing.
