slander

I'm sure you're like me, and instantly saw the comedic value of the Herald article titled: Green party 'doing Devil's work'. Said article begins:

... and I can just see the headline on page 1 tomorrow:

prince of lies denIEs links with Green Party, threatens defamation action: 'We only had one meeting where we may have discussed a leaflet', Satan says.
