The knives are out

By The Basa ⋅ June 24, 2005 ⋅

A little later than expected but the hate sites have begun to start popping up - I don’t include http://www.go-and-live-somewhere-else-then.co.uk/ as one of the hate sites - I like and participate in that one! On one of them of course has crossed the line when they published the address of where a 79 year-old disabled lady lives with the possibility of putting her in danger. There is also the question of using copyrighted material without permission - in case you didn’t know, that is illegal.

Readers may wish to know the person who is responsible for this crossing of the line. Although the person wishes to remain anonymous it is very difficult to do something on the internet and keep it secret, especially when you are using Microsoft Passport to set up the blog - you should really read the terms of service when signing up for Passport - they are indeed interesting and you will be surprised at what they reveal - including where legal disputes are resolved.

Well it turns out that Portobello Labour Party’s upcoming star Bob the Nazi is the guy responsible. Not only that, it appears that some of the information appearing on the website must have come from the city finance chief Councillor Maureen ‘three houses’ Child. If I indeed prove that Councillor Childs leaked personal information, she will find herself in court.

Now that I have a few hours free, it is time to see what has been happening in our ‘inspiring capital’ this week.
