Mentioning someone was in prison for bad things isn’t a crime, it’s a public service (he’s not even from this continent!)

Yesterday: They’ve Already Spent Close to a Million Dollars on Lawyers and Sent Us About 50 KG of Legal Papers (Sponsored by Mysterious Third Party) to Try to Censor Techrights, Without Success

As a little bit of an introduction, this article concerns a firm that breaches rules and admits this [1, 2]. Breach of confidence included. We’ll come to this in a moment. It’s so bad a reputation that around here in Manchester very small law firms already know that London firm for being one of the worst and they were sued by their own clients last month [1, 2, 3]. Having dealt with SLAPPs for many years, this one was lousy to begin with, resulting in a firm counter-suit (almost 200 pages long), just months after two more counter-suits [1, 2]. Both cases involve Americans [1, 2] who merely ‘visit’ Europe via the lousy law firm in London, egging on women to attack other women on behalf of men who attack women. No wonder this law firm is seemingly ‘selling the office’ already (its contents) and is happy to misuse data, despite it claiming to be an expert in data protection. This month their staff was passing around in legal documents and to third parties photos of our home taken for purposes unrelated to the matter (couriers giving photographic evidence of delivery), so we’ve reported the matter to British authorities. Those photos are clearly misused. Imagine me getting proof of delivery photos, then starting to spread such photos around, blogging photos like these to an audience they are not intended for (with the faces of people that I delivered parcels to, without any consent).

With that little introduction out of the way, today we deal with this person.

His lawyers are acting like assassins or Mafia, to use the metaphor those firms earned for themselves (in my opinion, some of their managers literally look like assassins, maybe they fancy themselves that). They sent an Hells Angels-like motorcyclist to our home. It was the delivery person whom they paid a lot of money to ride up to Manchester. Don’t they know sending big men with helmets and dark overalls can scare people? Thankfully, I myself am a big person, so it didn’t startle me; he chatted with me for a long time about the truly ridiculous things this law firm does for an American against Brits who reported, correctly, what he did to other Americans.

He totally sympathised with me, saying what they had done is “ridiculous!” (Direct quote; he said more things to that effect, dismissive of what he helped deliver)

He was actually very nice to me, borderline apologetic for what he was doing. He agreed that I ought to be seeking compensation for what they did to me and to my family.

Job insecurity compels people to do things without caring “too much” about the consequences or whose interests are served (e.g. Americans who spent about a million dollars to harasses not only a reporter in Europe but also his whole family).

Imagine a society where workers think about and care about the ethics of what they do for a living, and then act accordingly instead of just following orders.

This man put his life at risk on a motorcycle with super strong gusts (and heavy rain, hence wet surfaces on the road) to come here on a day like this and I still find it ironic that at the end he was more like a friend to me, and not scary at all.

“Pawn” of the lawyers…

Since Graveley was paid by Microsoft (an American from an American company) and his American litigation buddy is funded by some shadowy rich people (or corporations) by his own admission I’m led to believe that they don’t get their money’s worth, they just try to intimidate my wife and I in vain.

At the end, this ugly and clearly coordinated effort is doomed to backfire because we’ll write everything they did to us and report to the correct authorities, including politicians.

When law firms take any unscrupulous person as a client they end up being known in distant cities for how bad (low success rate) and evil they are. The only thing that can compel firms to do this is financial trouble, hence low standards or low thresholds (it doesn’t seem to matter where the money comes from, but that is very risky). ?

Today, the Microsofters’ lawyers dumped on us four (yes, 4) very large boxes full of legal papers. Two were almost literally dumped on our home, cluttering the entrance. They’re about as tall and me and taller by far than Microsoft’s OOXML. By their clients’ own admission, some other party (or parties) funds these lawyers. So it would appear they act as a proxy, or instrumentalised as we explained this morning. To repeat: “A Web site called Gawker published a correct and amicable article about a billionaire, Thiel, being gay. Thiel couldn’t sue Gawker for anything, so instead he bankrolled the lawsuit of Hogan, drowning Gawker in legal bills.”

By their own disclosure to the Court this past January, they’re already north of 500,000 pounds for their own legal bills (including VAT), not counting the bills of the serial strangler from Microsoft.

All in all, one can reasonably estimate they’ve already spent close to a million dollars just trying to remove pages from this site, in vain. Even a million bucks didn’t do that. When asked who’s paying their bills they refused to answer.

They try to overcompensate with sheer volume for a lack of solid, clear arguments (we are the victims here [1, 2]). Judges do not have time to read so many boxes full of papers; these lawyers try to drown out our own arguments with decrees. They’ve also made it abundantly clear that they use Microsoft software to prepare this (as usual); American software, American clients, with an American president who fancies pouring out diarrhoea on the American people. ?

estimate, based on documents sent to me from Brett Wilson LLP, that they’re willing to spend about a million pounds (not dollars, pounds) lawyering up against me and against my wife. It’s obscene and we know they’re funded by mystery financiers. Probably rich people desperate to silence our Web sites.

This morning in Tux Machines I published: It’s Not Justice When One Side Denies the Other Side the Ability to Even Speak

So at this point my wife and I have a million-pound (not dollars, pounds) “gun” pointing at us. Judges won’t overlook this. It’s lawfare, i.e. it’s misuse of a licence to bully people and censor sites. It would be a stain on the aura of the Magna Carta.

will say frankly, and upfront, that the accusations aren’t baseless. I firmly believe that all the evidence exists and the facts are on my side.

Highly irresponsible thugs did something really horrible 10 days ago. I won’t be able to comment about it fully until the case is over and other sites have said a lot more earlier today [1, 2]. This blog post will focus on more personal aspects.

10 days ago I wrote to the Court: “It is Yom Kippur today. We will respond to you tomorrow. This is important because we must also add to the bundle about 50 PDFs which will show the need for Adjoining of Case Numbers KB-2024-003529 and KB-2024-001270.”

This is an important message and the timing of the message was not of our own choosing. It was also minutes after a terror attack on a local synagogue.

It matters a lot because our legal advisor is a Jewish man who lived near that synagogue, which they (Brett Wilson LLP) are fully aware of; he went on BBC to say people painted swastikas on his own home. Aside from it, it’s Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year to him, so they basically sent threatening letters to both my wife and I on the equivalent of Xmas Eve at 4:30PM, then a very large number of pages (PDFs to both of us) on the equivalent of 10AM Xmas Day when people are literally fasting for over 24 hours (no water either, so health too is at risk), having always shown mean intent and already attempted to book the Hearing for the equivalent of Boxing Day; they attempted this a long time beforehand, back in January 2025.

How could they not know? I’ll write about this in the future.

And perhaps unintentionally (a subject to be covered another day or year), they also did this type of thing also during a funeral.

They’re not just cruel, they’re reckless and extremely insensitive. We’ll treat this accordingly and report what they did based on the hard evidence.

The SRA will be informed fully of what they did.

Then again, consider the fact they represent alleged sympathisers of Hamas. One client, who commented about October 7 2023 only several days after the attack (as if he wasn’t too sure what to say or whether it was a bad thing), made a public statement tacitly justifying acts of terrorism as a route towards peace.

It is my honest opinion that Brett Wilson LLP is a highly antisemitic firm. I’ve already seen plenty of circumstantial evidence of this. This firm also attracts antisemitic clients.

T is important to keep free press alive in the UK. Protecting it from hostile forces means making sacrifices, never surrendering to bullies.

As Rianne and I both explained [1, 2], over a year ago we filed lawsuits against the ‘Hulk Hogan of UEFI’, who had done truly horrible things to us and to many others. He promotes and works for monopoly. He defames people who work against monopoly.

Last year he hired aggressors in London (because he’s based in the US) to drown us with about 3,000 of pages of legal papers. Last week they did truly horrible things, which I’ve since explained in my personal blog: If You Glorify Violence, Then Some People Will Eventually Do It | The Second Antisemitic Attack in Manchester on October 2nd Came From Brett Wilson LLP (Almost at the Exact Same Time as the First) | Brett Wilson LLP Acting in a Way That We Deem Antisemitic, Disrespectful, and Highly Insensitive

They now try to force matters by doing what I deem to be borderline hate crimes; and if their client attends in person at some hearing, as security is of utmost importance to us, we must also request special security because he publicly boasts about wanting to hurt and even stab people he dislikes; he also did truly horrible things to my wife, she cannot be in the same room as him. It’s too much risk and his litigation partner (represented by the same lawyers and barrister) was already in prison for strangling women and worse. It’s really bad that journalists in the UK are treated so badly by Brett Wilson LLP’s American clients, who actually did truly horrible things (which I merely reported on).

At the end we’ll pursue reform in the UK; we cannot let the US (“No Kings”, except their President) abuse people in the UK like this.

Last week: If You Glorify Violence, Then Some People Will Eventually Do It | The Second Antisemitic Attack in Manchester on October 2nd Came From Brett Wilson LLP (Almost at the Exact Same Time as the First)

T is not our intention to theorise, but where there is smoke there is usually a fire.

Today we decided to break the silence on this matter, having just reported this matter to the UK High Court.

Brett Wilson LLP did something truly evil to us and we intend to hold it accountable.

As it turns out, we’re not alone, as even clients of Brett Wilson LLP are suing Brett Wilson LLP (“The Lawsuit by Clients of Brett Wilson LLP Against Brett Wilson LLP is Officially On, It is Progressing, The ‘Experts’ Pick Outside Law Firms (RPC and Mills & Reeve) to Spare Them From Litigants in Person”).

Law firms live and die (or thrive/survive/perish) based on the reputation they earn for themselves.

The word “evil” may seem vague, sometimes subjective, but what happened last week isn’t unprecedented (it’s part of a pattern) and that it happened just minutes after a terror attack on a synagogue near to us must be documented. There’s a personal element to this story, so we’ll blog this in the personal site.

Stay tuned for more.

By attacking people on The Day of Atonement

magine our surprise. So the ‘Hulk Hogan of UEFI’ decided to sic his dodgy lawyers at us at a seemingly ‘strategic’ time.

They are very toxic people who tacitly justify terrorism. We were reminded of this just minutes after the terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, yet they persisted with threats and massive PDFs all day long (since the night before). How would they feel if we did this to them on Xmas Day and moreover on a Xmas Day when they can neither eat nor drink for 25 hours? Yes, it was the equivalent of this.

It would certainly appear like Brett Wilson LLP’s aim is to torture people 1) during the holiest of days (with fasting) and 2) right after terror attacks 2 miles from their home.

We’ll hold Brett Wilson LLP accountable for this.
