From what I’ve heard, Britain has very strong libel and slander laws – much stronger ones than in North America. If that is the case (Please let me know if it isn’t) than why do british tabloids seems so much worse about publishing blatantly false and defamatory things about british public figures?
It certainly still happens in North America, especially online, but looking at a magazine rack, the ones where you look at them a think “yeah, that’s absolutely fake” are always british, and I don’t get how that is when their laws are stronger

They do. But as long as it makes them more money than breaking laws cost them, they will keep doing it.
Exactly like how google/amazon/facebook and the like collect your personal data and sell them, which is against laws in Europe. They get more money than the fine they have to pay (and they usually dont pay them anyway).
