Is it libel if it’s true?

If I point out for the record that Keith Vaz is a bit of a cunt, does that break any libel laws?

Vaz is raising it in the House of Commons this afternoon:

We tend to leave that sort of thing up to you lot. It’s not very British. Our kids are still flushing each others heads down the toilet.

…and it begins. Be prepared to see all the crying on your local news cast soon. Now all it takes is some emo kid to shoot up his school cafeteria.

I don’t know much about this history of Daily Mail. But the piece of MW2 was pretty level headed and spot on in my book.

I actually read this on the 7th and thought they were fairly lenient about it, they don’t renounce gaming as sick twisted or evil, they pretty much just state the facts on this one, which for the Daily Mail is a fucking rarity.

They say the game has controversial segments, can anyone deny that after we had two pages of argument over it here on vg247 ourselves? They mention that these bits can be skipped.

If they really wanted to take a pop at gaming they could have claimed bullshit about the corruption of our youth through “forced” violent sections of games, but they didn’t, they just told it like it is.

At what point is the penny finally going to drop and everybody realizes that video games are no longer (and haven’t been for a very long time) a for kids only medium?

I wondered when Mr Vaz would poke his nose in. Surprised it’s taken this long really…
