This statement has started appearing on a lot of commentators’ Twitter timelines…

As the Secret Barrister put it

Quote:

For those asking, this is about as effective a legal strategy as a bank robber donning a t-shirt reading “I AM NOT DISHONESTLY APPROPRIATING PROPERTY BELONGING TO ANOTHER WITH THE INTENTION OF PERMANENTLY DEPRIVING THE OTHER OF IT.”

It reminds me of those statements people would make on Facebook, saying they don't consent to their content being used by Facebook. Pusedo-legal nonsense.

They're either doing it for dramatic effect, sulking, or stupid. Probably all three.

“Disclaimers” do not absolve you of all liability.

Their way of trying to claim anything they said won't get them in trouble.

'You can't charge me with being racist as I put that thing on my account':rolleyes:

Be interesting to know the rationale and who came up with the wording. It’s clearly a result of “legal advice” whether it’d have standing or not.

"howsoever identified" looks like a nod to the whole him/her/they identity discussions.

I read it more as a "whatever disparaging term is used", but I suppose Dan Wootton may have gone "woke"… ;)

If you fancy a laugh, search Twitter by "howsoever identified"…

This is what ChatGPT thinks of it.

I think you're giving it too much credit. It's just people trying to make it sound law-like. It's the freemen of the land stuff. People just making stuff up.

I’d not rule out them being gullible enough to pay for it from someone qualified enough to say in the email “BY THE WAY THIS ISN’T LEGAL ADVICE” in terms they can’t understand.
