Jailhouselawyer becomes a net warrior over super-injunctions
Net warriors fight gagging culture
By Richard Woods and Robin Henry, Sunday Times, 15 May 2011
"...As if to ram the point home, a British blogger raised the stakes on Friday. The man, who lives in Hull, published on his website a draconian injunction involving a wealthy family who are not celebrities. The document was supposed to be confidential and to keep secret the names of the parties involved.
The blogger declared that the law is an ass and told the Sunday Times: "Someone described what I've done as historic. Maybe. I didn't really think about it".
Though he risks prosecution, he said: "Obviously I'm worried, but I think justice should manifestly be seen to be done. It is either out in the open or it is closed".
By yesterday, 8,000 people had read the super-injunction on his site and many more may have been sent links to it".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
