I’ve received this email from Roger Tattersall’s attorney (known as a solicitor in England) with the request that I post it. I’m happy to do so. Please see in the letter where the legal fund is being setup. – Anthony
To:
All those who feel offended and/or threatened by the actions taken against innocent climate enthusiast Roger Tattersall aka ‘Tallbloke’ as a result of the unsought anonymous drop of data from the person or persons known as ‘FOIA’.
That data is clearly in the public interest by virtue of having relevance to the wisdom of certain global policy decisions relating to energy use, energy supply and possibly global rationing of energy sources and the direct or indirect taxation of every individual on the planet for the foreseeable future.
Roger has been publicly libelled and abused across the world to the detriment of his reputation and has suffered distress, inconvenience and damage to property. The worst such offender appears to have been a contributor at ‘Scienceblogs’.
His privacy has been invaded and he and his family have been intimidated.
It is possible that treatment of that nature could be meted out to any persons expressing sceptical views about the so called climate consensus.
A clear signal needs to be sent out that such treatment is an abuse of process and a negation of free speech and democratic freedoms.
It is proposed to investigate all options open to Roger for the obtaining of suitable redress within the law. In the event that legal actions are considered appropriate it will be necessary to appoint suitably experienced Counsel to represent his interests and in this matter Roger’s interests coincide with those of all of who find themselves unable to feebly acquiesce in the pressure that is being applied to prevent them from exercising their hard won freedoms.
To that end, an appeal fund is being launched in order to finance the necessary steps. Contributions can be made via Roger’s Paypal account as displayed on his site (http://tallbloke.wordpress.com/) and all funds received for that purpose are to be transferred to the Client Account of his solicitors Wilde & Company.
Any funds not eventually used for necessary legal expenses will be donated to a selection of climate sceptic organisations. Accounting procedures will be put in place in compliance with the requirements of the UK regulatory system governing the proper use of Client monies held by UK solicitors.

Ah Americans interfering again with British politics and life. If you are so worried Watts how about giving the police the info they need to track down the hacking criminals?
Good luck Rog!
Fifty quid flung your way.
T’was the week before Christmas when the crap hit the fan, Tall bloke take no prisoners, the other series of events occurring are the forthcoming charges of fraud against many global warmist scientists, by the actions by the lord of Blenchley it would seem that the latest email releases give rise to some rather unfortunate corollations of collusion and corruption in the hockey team. With tall blokes prevail and the yanks having a go at some of their own via the DOJ it would appear that some at least are worried about their future because of their past.
Truth and justice is more important than these egotistical idiots, what ever their fate it is their own doing.
“I would have thaought it far better to stick to the legal case, even though I would love to see a forensic examination of the science.”
The legal case involving Roger will be uncontaminated by the scientific issues.
In setting out both areas of concern I was simply seeking to divert potential allegations of a wider political agenda.
Thank you Tallbloke & Stephen Wilde. My donnation will eb comming in a bit after christmas when the traffic slow abit though I hope it stays at a steady stream.
Those donating might consider 5 or 10 or even 1 lb a week after your initial donation. Give up the extra coffee, beer, soda (BUT NOT MY CHOCOLATE) and put the money aside to donate to Roger instead. As Stephen Wilde said this is going to be a long haul.
On 30 September 2006 the US Senate unanimously ratified the The US-UK Extradition Treaty 2003

1. Tallbloke is a UK citizen, therefore that is not ‘interfering’ in British politics and life. It is WUWT reporting the news.
2. Climate alarmists appear to have a despearate need to label as “criminals” anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Even a fool could see that the Climategate 1 & 2 leaks were done by an insider; an employee with access.
Run along now. RealClimate is waiting for you to report back.

It is interesting to watch the thieves and liars and their allies and compatriots in the process of melting down. As it were.”

If this bloke has been verbally abused and his house or car attacked we assume
If he reported it to the police did he get the crime numbers and where are the police call logs
James Delingpole weighs in with support and reposts Stephen Wilde’s letter: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100124846/tallbloke-a-christmas-appeal/
“This blog urges all readers to think of the Spirit of Christmas and give generously.
Here are just some of things your money might buy:
50p buys a week’s supply of maggoty gruel to serve to the Lead Authors of the IPCC’s assessment reports, if and when they are eventually tried and imprisoned for crimes against science, economics and Western Civilisation.
£20 buys a set of handcuffs for one member of the Hockey Team
£25 buys the extra special set with spikes laced with marmite
£500 buys a course in Excel basics for Professor Phil Jones
£1000 buys a large island in Greece on which to imprison the Climategate 2500”
(however a Greek island is far too good – need somewhere that they can really feel a cooling climate)
At 4:35 AM on 18 December, Verity Jones abstracts from James Delingpole’s post on Tallbloke’s legal assistance fund:
…kvetching:
Well, hell. There’s always Alkatraz.
Though we’ve been intending it to receive the Obama Administration after 20 January 2013.
Oh, well. I guess the Gitmo Madrasah is probably the better choice for putting that latter bunch away until they finish composting.

Seems to me it is the BRITS or should I say the City of London, the London School of Economics, Rhodes Scholarships and the University of Oxford that has royal messed up the USA economically. And that goes back over a hundred years.
lazyteenager says Tallbloke wants to make a statement, and so do I, and I want it very clearly made, for “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” (Orwell).
A couple of days ago I contributed (another identity) with a hundred for Tallbloke’s to get some hardware. I guess that’s been solved. My next contribution has to be in a month… and if Tallbloke drinks a beer from my money, that’s just as good.
I grow my own veg, can i send some rotten stuff to throw at the miscreants when theyre up before the beak? 🙂

1. Prove there was an hacking. The problem with you people is that you don’t know the idea of proof.
2. How are you that certain that Watts has something to give? Tell us the rest of your delusions.
Anyway, “don’t feed the trolls”.
Tallbloke, sure do wish I could donate too, six years ago I’d have £300 in there pronto, now I worry of having the $40 for bread, milk eggs and the basics, heat now. You and I both being recovering from disabilities I do feel for you in this screw-ball situation. But, one thing I do have is endless time if you and Stephen need any help along those lines, just ask through Anthony, he can email me. We’re all in there for you, hang tight.
I’m now more searching if international laws cover cases where and if illegal elements move into the UN itself, are there rico-like avenues at the international level that can enforce justice for us sorry simple folk around the world. Seems time to move to the next level. The interplay between UN delegates, NGOs, internation companies, scientists and governments makes it so clear what is going on, the money.
Any attorneys out there that might have some insight into this aspect?
Just read Tallbloke’s posting of thanks and about how his wife has also suffered and he is putting her first at this time!
Well if that don’t sum up a man who deserves support, I don’t know what does!
1st Donation on it’s way!
Further thoughts…
Throughout history there are many examples of dictators or dictatorial regimes getting the boot from their fed up citizenry.
Pressure applied at an ever increasing rate is absorbed until one fine day a single event, a spark, something that would otherwise be insignificant in the grand scheme becomes a focal point for the greivances of the many.
The straw that breaks the camels back if you will.
I feel that is what has just happened here with the invasion of Tallblokes privacy, the stomping of his rights and the unwarranted viscious comments by those with their own nasty little axes to grind.
I feel this may well be the Climate Realists “Arab spring”.
I certainly hope it gains momentum.
Figuratively speaking, its “Time to kick some warmist ar*e”.

I think, Charles, it’s what became known as the Ceausescu moment. And also, a great time to be alive to witness.

Re foregoing comments about use of the name ‘Climate Realists’. In the absence of funds nor web site, our Group in Oz decided some two years ago now that we needed a better identity to market ourselves and compete against the long established, well oiled Green/Enviro machine.
We chose the name “Climate Realists of Five Dock”. Jo Nova kindly promoted it on her web site and we have expanded from two members initially to some 40 strong and growing. We usually meet weekly in a social environment at a nearby Club for a few drinks and dinner.
The word ‘Five Dock’ is a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Thus the package can be readily adopted anywhere around the world by fellow skeptics ie “Climate Realists of xxxxxxxxxx”. We also have a logo (a microscope) followed by the these words in latin “De Omnibus Dubitandum – Question Everything!” which appears on both our letterheads and business cards.
We find this provides a more professional image and counter against the long established Green/Enviro groups. Two more Sydney based ‘Climate Realists of Bondi & Sutherland’ have now formed.
Happy to share more details among other ‘Climate Realists’ if interested?
Donation to the Alcatraz Fund forthcoming. Goodluck, Tallbloke.
Seems to me that a libel case is misplaced effort and could backfire. The real conflict is not between bloggers with different opinions. The real conflict is between honest science (outside the Establishment) and corrupt science (within the Establishment).
Prosecuting a libel among bloggers could lead to a barrage of countersuits in all directions. Worst of all, it could end up setting a precedent that would shut down all dissent outside the fraternity of paid “journalists”.

What stuns me is the involvement of the US DoJ in this case. Why would Holder’s DoJ care one whit about hacked or leaked emails from a university in the UK? Unless maybe these cast some very important political/business folks in a very unfavorable light.”
I don’t doubt that part of it is to cover up collusion and fraud by our own government/politicians, but don’t forget that the head of DoJ, our Attorney General Eric Holder, is currently being grilled in Congressional hearings on the “Fast and Furious” gunrunning operation.
Apparently DoJ and ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) had the “brilliant” idea of forcing gun dealers in southern border states to allow a variety of weapons (including assault rifles) to be sold willy nilly and cross the border, on the idea that it would allow them to track WHICH criminals ended up with them. (and it all comes with the added bonus of using any crime thus committed to further regulate guns for the law-abiding)
It appears the White House knew.
Mexico did not, and some 2000 weapons crossed the border to kill many many Mexcian citizens, and a few walked back across to hunt and kill a US Border Patrol agent.
Holder is stonewalling, squirming, sweating, and a variety of senior officials have demanded he step down.
There is a large house of cards on many fronts, all of which could come crashing down.
I’m glad Tallbloke is suing, as he should, and I hope it HURTS HURTS HURTS those who have acted with such dishonor and impunity toward so many.
Will try to send something, even if just a pittance.
All the best, tallbloke et al.
At 6:25 AM on 18 December, Barbara Munsey had commented on the as-yet-unindicted Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General with “drop dead” responsibility for Operation Fast & Furious and the whole glorious federal “Gunrunner” campaign to violate international law and advance the cause of victim disarmament in these United States. Ms. Munsey had written:
Oh, to hell with having Holder merely “step down.” There’s a bunch more to “Project Gunrunner” than just what our Mombasa Messiah’s BATFE had been doing in the Southwest. In Florida, for example, there’s been Operation Castaway running arms to criminal gangs in Honduras
If there were ever any purpose for which the International Criminal Court in the Hague had been created, kids, this is it.
Had sent a small donation a couple of days ago. Of course Roger is free to use it however he sees fit.
Donation made.
This is a very important case – for the civil liberties aspect too.
All the best, Tallbloke.
