Guido’s Free Speech Battle: Latest Update
It has been over two months since we were in the High Court for the trial of preliminary issues to determine meaning and to establish what it is exactly that a full trial will be arguing about. (See the previous Court Report here.)
It seems like a good moment to give co-conspirators an update after so many of you have been so generous – raising £94,799 towards the battle to defend the case brought against Guido by Dale Vince. Total costs to date have now exceeded £80,000.
We are still waiting for Mr Justice Pepperall to make his rulings. There is no fixed deadline by which the Judge’s ruling has to be made.
Dale Vince’s lawyers meantime have written to complain that we stated in the fundraising video that Dale “wants to block access to this site”, claiming this isn’t true, as he only wanted to block access to the bits of the site about him. This type of petty nitpicking is typical of Dale.
Dale’s lawyers also complained about us drawing a comparison of his methods to how the Chinese Communist Party operates internet censorship. If Dale Vince doesn’t want to be compared to bad actors who try to censor the internet with firewalls he should perhaps not adopt their methods.
I want to again thank the 2,900 conspirators for your support. Together we can Just Stop Dale!
