On that BBC article again from 2006. Defamation, wherever it comes from, can never be morally deemed to be creative output



The decision not to remove the news story from the BBC’s web site falls within the category of “editorial and creative output” …

Reputations can be severely damaged by being so reckless about information, particularly in this online world. 60% of employers look up future employees on Google, apparently.

The BBC are acting like a nasty bully to me, and I think their attitude towards me has been nothing short of sick. I am disabled, and despite seven degrees, I am too frightened to seek regular employment because of the attitude of the BBC in showing some compassion to me. Yes, I was alcoholic, but I survived 2 months in a coma at the Royal Free Hospital. I have trained in academic law, rebuilt my life, and live with my wonderful parents here in Primrose Hill. The BBC know all this as well as the evidence that I have never been a stalker.

The BBC articles are still there for everyone to see if you Google “Shibley Rahman”.


Interestingly the BBC decision letter (9 September 2010) makes no reference that there is a strong case that the article is clearly defamatory in its central accusation and headline.

A note: I experienced bullying at school, where the bully just expects you to shut up after a while. Having been distressed for several months about this, I am not going to be silenced. Here is the evidence for the world to see whether you like it or not.

I am protecting my reputation, as indeed other institutions are protecting theirs.
