SOMETHING ABOUT A BIG FAT RUSSIAN THUG

What's this about a webhost shedding bloggers because some London firm of legal shysters have been employed by some extremely unattractive Russian bloke to stop them saying nasty things about him when all he did was buy shares in a shit football club?

On a completely different subject, Chicken Yoghurt covers a little noticed story about Alisher Usmanov, a Russian billionaire who has shares in Arsenal FC, employing Schillings law firm to get Fasthosts internet service providers to pull the plug on blogs to stop nasty things being said about him. I wonder that no one else in the blogosphere has picked up on this story yet. Odd that.

Weird.

You'd think at least one or two would pick up on it wouldn't you?

I blame the shit weather.

A few fancy headed letters in undecipherable English and the blogosphere retreats.

Well, Will, you know me - always the first to know.

My finger is so hard on the pulse it's positively jumping up and down.
