This BristolBloggerGate thing is rumbling on and on and on – it now appears that the party demanding that WordPress.com take down blog posts on the issue (scalps so far: The Bristol Blogger, EcoLogics and Sir Howard Newby Watch) is not former UWE vice chancellor Sir Howard Newby but instead his current employer the University of Liverpool!
I wonder what former Liverpool student and current Channel 4 News anchor Jon Snow – who is also a patron of Media Defence Legal Initiative, which provides “legal support to journalists and media outlets who seek to protect their right to freedom of expression” – makes of all this…

Full name and address of the complainant is:
Mr Kevan Ryan
Director of Legal Services
The University of Liverpool
The Foundation Building
765 Brownlow Hill
Liverpool L69 7ZX
It’s nice to know the taxpayers paying to protect Sir Howard from questions over his private business affairs isn’t it?
According to the University of Liverpool website, Mr Ryan’s email address would appear to be:
kevan.ryan@liv.ac.uk
Judging by the weather forecast, whilst it will be rather cold in Liverpool today, there will only be mild snow flurries in the night, so hopefully Mr Ryan will be able to make it in to work, and hence answer the no doubt numerous email enquiries from people wishing to have clarified for them the involvement of the University in censoring critics of Sir Howard.
