Schillings and Spicer could be a lot nicer

Craig is being bullied by lawyers again, and could do with your support.

No doubt there'll be plenty more over the weekend.

UPDATE - Meanwhile...

Unity - Source for the gander: Whatever you might personally think of the underlying issues, there is no doubt that David has, in blogging terms, handled the story correctly... And, on that basis alone, I personally feel that we all, as bloggers, should be supporting David and Harry's Place, much as we've supported other bloggers when they've faced the threat of vexatious legal action. But - as you might expect from me - there's a little more to be said...

UPDATE (12 Jul) - Back to Craig Murray and his recent hassle from paper-pushing bullies:

Unity - Murray faces more legal bullying: To appreciate the full scope of what Schillings are trying to do here, you need to read the letter that was sent to Craig and his publishers, which was marked 'Not For Publication' - Craig has it on his blog in PDF format, but to make life easier for everyone, here's the full text of the letter...

Click, read and share.

It's not the first time that Schillings have played this game. Their top-secret threats are so very special that they're protected by copyright even. Bless 'em. Bless 'em dry.

My copy of the letter appears ~~below the fold~~ at the 'Usmanov' blog* (woo-hoo! chase me!) because I miss the love that Schillings used to send my way. Repeat it in a post of your own if you're feeling frisky, but do be aware that there may be a legal risk, even from these clowns.

(Psst! Don't expect a lot of noise about this from 'bloggers' who themselves have become fond of secret threats and intimidation.)

[*UPDATE - Location changed. I forgot that I'm sharing server space with innocent bystanders, and Schillings have a record of knocking off a few civilians to the left and right of their intended target(s). Of course, I'm not suggesting for a second that any of their clients could be accused of anything like that....]
