It’s extraordinary, but true, and even though we live in a 
democracy where freedom of speech is a right we can enjoy, that freedom does not extend to your blog if you upset a rich and powerful person.
That is the gist of Iain Dale’s unbelievable post outlining the shutting down of Tim Ireland’s Bloggerhead’s site, as well as Craig Murray‘s, former Ambassador to Uzbekhistan.
They both spoke out against the Russian/Uzbekh billionaire, Alisher Usmanov, (pictured) who is trying to buy Arsenal FC. Lawyers letters followed which led to the webhost pulling the plug.
As Bloggerheads also hosts blogs run by Conservative MP Boris Johnson and Labour councillor Bob Piper, as well as others, their sites have vanished too, even though they did not offend the billionaire.
Iain’s article, and the comments posted, is essential reading. Good points have been made, like using American webhosts instead. And does this set a precedent which other influential people will follow if bloggers upset them?
And, as Iain says, who wants that kind of person in control of their football club? It shows him to be a person who wants everything on his terms and a bully.
This is what Craig Murray has told Iain about the extraordinary events:
“Craigmurray.co.uk has vanished – as has bloggerheads and bobpiper – after the server has been “pulledâ€? by services management company Fasthosts Internet Ltd of Gloucester. Fasthosts have done this in response to legal threats from libel lawyers Schillings, acting on behalf of Alisher Usmanov, the Uzbek oligarch and friend of Putin currently trying to buy Arsenal football club.
“As a former British Ambassador in Uzbekistan, I know a great deal more about Mr Usmanov, and especially about his criminal record, than he finds comfortable. The principal point at issue is that he has been able to take down one of the UK’s leading political websites without anything being tested in court. Fasthosts have pathetically repeated Schillings bluster that my site is “Defamatoryâ€?, as though that were established.
“We all know that money talks. It seems it can stop other people talking, too. There appears a real danger that all the material on the site may be lost and not able to be
recovered.”
Newspapers are not shut down if they face libel allegations, (not in the UK anyway) there is a legal process that is followed. Surely that process applies to bloggers too. If the offending comments were not libellous – and only a court can decide this – then Mr Usmanov’s actions could be deemed illegal. He would have to pay damages. There are all sorts of legal ramifications involved with this story.
My message to Mr Usmanov is:
ПожалуйÑ?та Ñ?проÑ?ите, что ваши законоведы reinstate Ñ?ти blogs, вы не имейте никакую потребноÑ?Ñ‚ÑŒ быть иÑ?пугано они говорÑ?Ñ‚ еÑ?ли вы будете правдивой перÑ?оной.

Curmudgeon, Good point. In fact, my blog is banned in China, but luckily I am still online here.
I thought this only happened in China…. incredible.
This is incredible – and scandalous!
That blogs are being taken off illustrates the power they have, and the fact that powerful people are afraid of what they can say.
Whatever happened to free speech?
[...] Alisher Usmanov- Come On Feel Tha Noize!

While the information is available in a book and Usmanov did not sue over that (gosh you don’t suppose he doesn’t want the claims tested in court do you? Why, that would mean they are true!) his goons know some scary letters to a company who can avoid jeopardy by simply deleting a few accounts does the trick.

He shouldn’t be able to shut down their sites so easily. The company that caved in to the threats is a disgrace and should be boycotted by all.
[...] Boris Johnson, Bob Piper and Clive Summerfield have lost their sites for the simple reason that they were hosted on the the same server as Craig’s and Tim’s sites and went the same way when the plug was pulled. They are NOT associated with the dispute with Alisher Usmanov in any way. How crude! Further Update Tom Watson is now hoping Bob’s plight will unite local bloggers from across the political spectrum: This guy Usmanov is some unifying oligarch. He’s got Iain Dale writing in support of Tim and Craig Murray. All we need now is that idiot James Graham and Prague Tory (who we should congratulate on his recent wedding) to join in and we’ve got the biggest show of holding hands since the last night of the proms. (James – I have no opinion or your idiocy or otherwise!) Tom (himself an MP) adds that he thinks the decision of the web host company was a little hasty – given the profile of the people they’ve cut off Unfortunately for the hotshot lawyers, one of them happens to be a democratically elected Member of Parliament with regular columns in a number of national newspapers. Oh, and he wants to be mayor of London. Who would you put your money on to win the battle of hearts and minds?
