The "allegations" are too vague to be libellous. They are strong opinions admittedly but they are not specific enough to be libellous. How can one attack or defend a statment as vague as "making life impossible". What are the parameters of possible/impossible and who sets them. They are opinions and it seems to me that peterh on behalf of his polictical masters doesn't much like opinions he doesn't agree with. If there are specific allegations then they should be made but be aware if you repeat them directly or indirectly (i.e by commenting on their truth or otherwise) then you are party to the libel.
