Blogger David Holford has been threatened with legal action by Tower Hamlets Council unless he removes some comments from his site. He has no plans to comply.
For more from me about why Tower Hamlets Council are not, as they claim, preventing hate speech but rather are attempting to suppress ridicule of Tower Hamlets Council, click here, or here if the Blogspot archives are bust again.
Shall we all link to Tower Hamlets until _they_ apologise and retract their threats to David Holford? If so, which page?
We might start by linking to this page and this page.
Great story — links, and large, prominent excerpts from the hot cross buns post will appear at An Age Like This shortly.
The best thing that can happen here is for the council to come under rather severe ridicule.
I blogged on the hot cross buns ban too, quoting a very funny story in The Telegraph. Jewish World Review, which links to my Fox blog-column, got an e-mail from Tower Hamlets vaguely threatening legal action. It sounds like the same letter they sent Holford.
The JWR editor and I decided to ignore it.
Ok
