I beg to differ. You posted a statement here that said you had asked her about her "unauthorised wearing of an RAF flying badge last October" (post #3487). I would suggest that is potentially libellous because the wording used clearly states that she needed some authorisation to wear that badge which she seemed (in your view) not to have. I am suggesting to you that as (as far as I am aware) a civillian does not require any special authorisation to wear the badge your accusation that her wearing of it was "unauthorised" is potentially libellous.

It doesn;t matter what you said in your actual question to her - indeed as long as that email was shown only to TCT it is my understanding that it *cannot* be libellous because it has not been shown to a third party (to be libelous/defamatory it has to be something that alters someone else's opinion of you) - I and concerned solely withthe statement you made here.

I hope that clarifies the point.
