173... 192... 224... 251...292...302 and rising.....

It's amazing what the crass bully boy tactics of a corpulent Uzbek oligarch and his team of legal vultures (my sincere apologies to the birds of the genus Gyps) can do. At the moment over 300 bloggers from all across the political spectrum have expressed their outrage at Usmanov's antics.

Nice to see you on top of these events, Jams! By coincidence, a couple of weeks ago I'd sent a link to Murray's blog to a friend of mine who's something of an expert on Central Asia but didn't know of it. For the time being, I guess he won't know of it...

It got my goat. Usmanov should ahve challenged Murray in the courts. The action is made more craven ecause he has taken no action against Murray's book even though it is said to be "grossly defamatory". If Murray is even half correct then Usmanov is really is a lying crminal scumbag.

In the US, Usmanov would have no recourse because our libel laws are extremely restrictive, but the UK courts definitely side with the plaintiff, which is why you get so many Americans suing in your courts.

If he has a case, he should take it court, because it certainly isn't going to get better for him annoying all of the other people that have been affected.

I wish we tightened up our laws the current situation is an utter joke.

It will be interesting to see what Usmanov does next. His attempt to muzzle Murray has backfired spectacularly. If he comes afterthis (growing) list then he will enrage other bloggers
