That was rather a long time ago, since when we’ve had the Reform Act and our monarchs cannot start unpopular wars any more. Nowadays we wait to be told by the US which country we should invade.
One thing Trump doesn’t realise: if he loses a libel case in England, he could have costs awarded against him. If he wins and the judge thinks it’s a bit iffy, he still won’t get his costs. The McLibel case cost a certain fast food company (which I personally would never patronise even if I was dehydrated and starving) a lot of money and a large Streisand Effect, since when large corporations have actually steered clear of libel cases. Since 2013 and the anti-reputation-manager law reform, libel cases have gone rather quiet.
