Free David Osler

This poor man, an interesting lefty blogger, is being sued (see the October 9th post).

His crime? He listed the political parties and legal history of a Tory candidate. She doesn't claim inaccuracy, but feels that him listing the 4 parties she belonged to in 1 year breaches her human right to freedom of assembly. She's also suing him because a commenter on the piece described her as 'one cherry short of a Schwarzwalderkirschtorte', which is a) mild and b) slightly amusing. He's spending a lot of his time in court at the moment, and will soon be bankrupted. Because this is a freedom of speech matter, lots of unpleasant rightwing bloggers are supporting him. Well done, chaps (they are all chaps).
