As best as I can tell, it is completely legal in the UK to print utter 
nonsense and claim that it is fact or even "news".

Unless you claim something untrue about a /person/ or /financial 
entity/. Then they can choose to sue you. But if you write that, say, 
MMR causes autism, that's 100% legal. Nobody can sue you for that... If 
you say that /they claimed/ this, they can sue you for lying about what 
they said. But other than that...
