After Bloggerheads was shut down thanks to the machinations of Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist Alisher Usmanov Manic has relocated to B-Heads.

Bloggerheads has been shut down for Manic's hosting Craig Murray's website in which he mentioned that Alisher Usmanov, a previously unknown-in-the-UK Uzbek (Uzbeck? Uzbecki? Uzbeckistani?) who seeks to become the chairman of Arsenal F.C., is a Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist. Thanks to his efforts in gagging and/or shutting down the few people that paid attention to Murray, Usmanov has ensured that bloggers are picking up on the story, which should mean with luck that old media will have the story by the end of next week.

If you are in any way interested in finding out why Murray feels that Alisher Usmanov from Uzbekistan is a Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist then there are still many places on the interweb that have the original article, here's one for example. And you may want to spread the word about that Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist Alisher Usmanov and his attempts to gag free speech, it would help if the place you're writing on is not in the U.K.

Septicisle has more on the Bloggerheads angle, he's been thinking about Alisher Usmanov for a while now.

NOTE: Which is not to say I automatically believe Murray's accusations, I just think it's a pleasant sounding phrase that trips off the tongue when in the presence of someone who tries to sue other people out of existence.
