Lying Staines has Libelled Honest Lying Staines

The big debate over a wikipedia at the moment is whether Paul Staines, the internet's biggest liar, has libelled himself. Apparently all those nutjob pamphlets he wrote, were written by someone else. Presumably this was another Paul Staines when he was off his nuts on acid.

Amazingly Lobster Blogster has found one sound reference for Staines' seminal work:
Staines, Paul. 1989. In the Grip of the Sandinistas: Human Rights in Nicaragua 1979-1989 Washington, D.C.: International Society for Human Rights.
Here at Louisiana State University.

Needless to say, the Lobster BSc Bristol 1984, has got in touch with the Louisiana State University to ask them to check the shelves of their library. The Lobster however believes it is very unlikely that Staines' later became the "UK secretary-general of the International Society for Human Rights and editor of Human Rights Briefing". In fact I nearly wet myself laughing when I read it. Staines himself has one well thumbed copy, but sadly Amazon says it is out of stock. An interesting feature of Amazon is that anyone can log in and edit the details of books. Perhaps the former Secretary General can find time in his busy schedule to log in and put in some valid ISBN numbers? My local library can find almost any book, but Staines' work defeated them.

Just time for a couple of quick notes:
The Lobster has led some silly lawyers a merry dance the last couple of days. When you've finished billing your clients, do remember to pop along to the IT department, and ask the what an ISP footprint might look like. I think you'll find that the chambers of Leolin Price CBE QC has got quite a big one. Do feel free to take a peek at Lobster Blogster from time to time, but I'm not sure you should be spending quite so much time blogging during working hours. Unless of course you just happen to be working for a silly man who dreams of power without responsibility, or his idiot mate.

Having mentioned the alma mater, I couldn't resist a quick: "Vidal says hi". If the apostles are still worshipping, it would be nice to catch up with you again. Happy blogging!

It's available at the Cambridge UL.
 
Thank you Andrew, or would you prefer your pet name, Sox?

You are quite right, it's in the catalogue - but is it on the shelf? Try googling the ISBN, and you get a very sad list of bogus sites and self editting catalogues.

Give me a real ISBN and I'll dust of my reader's card and pop down the British Library.

A quick tip: if Staines quotes it, it's probably a lie. Sometimes he even copyrights his lies. I can't wait for Staines v. Staines at the High Court.
 
No probs.
Pet name 'Sox'? Je ne comprend pas...
Not in Cam right now, will be 2nd half of Dec - could request it then if you like (unless you can get in touch with someone there now). Looks like it's not on the shelves, but accessible on request. It only takes a couple of hours normally for requests to be delivered and the book's existence confirmed.
 
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than
just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
However think about if you added some great photos or video clips to
give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
and videos, this website could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Very good blog!
