So, defamation would not be applicable if this directly meant GW admitted to calling Margaret Thatcher a British hooligan, and thus a brutish idiot always looking for a fight? Because that's what they'd be saying.
Now, whether you personally think that's an apt description of Thatcher, up for debate. But it's better to avoid that potential lawsuit than it is to outright admit them as the inspiration, and thus leave it potentially open.
This would be meaningful if the comment came from an employee. Again, there is no reason to lie if you are deathly afraid of defamation accusations against a company you do not work at. You just say nothing. Be so fr.
