SLAPP Censorship - Part 39 Out of 200: Recycled Text for Garrett and Graveley (Buy One, Get One Free?)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 08, 2026

Compare the texts of the Particulars of Claims (PoCs), with many more examples to come.

The Defendant operates the website www.techrights.org (“Techrights”) and lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom. Techrights is a website that focusses on software and technology. It is a website available to the public-at-large by use of an internet browser, and is available globally including within the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

In the previous part (early this morning) we showed how shameless self-promotion and obvious exaggerations can become docket material in the UK, put there by Americans via hired guns. Shown above is how their barrister recycles text to make perhaps thousands of pounds per hour (as per real time spent, not time claimed to have been spent unless there are discounts arranged). He does not even know his client's first name!

5RB: Sometimes we even get your name right

Garrett and Graveley worked on this together, based on what Garrett told me after he had sworn on the Bible.

As a bit of background for those who are only just (right now) joining us: in 2021 Graveley was arrested in the US for strangling women and around the same time Garrett began sending me legal threats and Graveley's "best friend" lost his job as GitHub's CEO. All those people (three of them) are in GNOME and were connected to or employed by Microsoft. They know each other, they're no strangers by any stretch of imagination.

When I wrote this morning we had already amassed over 75 KG of legal papers from Garrett and Graveley; since then they've dumped another 10 KG or so of legal papers, bringing the tally up to around 85+ KG as of this morning. They've just sent thousands of pages for a very short meeting (about 90 minutes, that's a rate of over 15 pages per minute of meeting), as sometimes quantity can make up for a lack of quality argument. They call it "optics". The facts don't favour them and they know it. People associated with Brett Wilson LLP (the hired guns of Garrett and Graveley) were sending threats from burner accounts - threats I could in theory pass to the police but chose not to. Their threats to us were expected and anticipated, as they strive to take down our site while doxing relatives of mine (Garrett acting like a cracker, not a hacker) and trying to hide their contempt of court, abuse of process, many breaches of rules, defamatory letters etc. To distract from what their clients did to women they're picking on my wife over things Garrett's employer has done since 2012 (Garrett made it personal and attacked me personally for criticising his employer over it) and now they foresee British taxpayers shouldering the cost of this Americans-only tag-team litigation, which was reported to the toothless SRA over a year ago. It should be mentioned that Brett Wilson LLP is being sponsored by third parties and salaries from Microsoft to do this to us. Their barrister made lots of money this way, not the first time he and Brett Wilson LLP pick on underfunded women.

Below is my response to this barrister talking about Techrights as if a site that exposes a lot of corruption (since 2006; the barrister was a little kid back then!) is actually the "naughty" party that merits or deserves punishment. Remember: this is sponsored by third parties and salaries from Microsoft. Garrett is being instrumentalised for censorship by shadowy third parties and he only ever communicates via hired guns that already sent nearly 100 KG of legal documents to us (conservative estimate of the legal bills by now is around a million dollars; Garrett ran out of money ages ago).
