If you’re going to complain to a lawyer or police that you’re being defamed/harassed, a tip: don’t mislead them

(Post made at 0815 GMT on 10 Dec 2018 in a personal capacity.  Please see here for important background and disclosure of interests).

Solicitors (and I imagine the police too) don’t like it when someone gives them false or misleading information.  

For example, if the solicitor is given the impression that there is no evidence to support the claim that the WYO has been uncooperative with some schools and local musical organisations, when you know (or ought to know) that there is evidence in black and white in an email of the WYO doing precisely that.

And several other examples too.
