# Heh, what a tool. Or not.
'Expert witnesses described the kit as "completely ineffectual" and an "affront" to science.'

# I'm amused by how none of the reports are willing to describe the golf-ball 'dowsers' he was rebadging
as a pile of crap too.

Made a bit of cash, didn't he? People have known about this scam for years; they just haven't bothered to prosecute him as they know he's not defrauding citizens of this country. Be interesting to see if a British court can make a case stick. And if they can, why they didn't stop him earlier? As is often mentioned, he got around export controls by demonstrating that the devices didn't actually do anything.

# I suppose they get around describing the dowsers as cack
by referring to them as 'novelty' items... a bit like those condom machines in pub toilets that say you shouldn't use them as a contraceptive, they're just 'fun'.
Agreed, the entire case seems to be a bit of a paradox. Made for £15, sold for £10,000... I'd like to see him on Dragon's Den :)

# In fairness, people have been making a fuss about him for years.
But cases like this can take a long time to come to court. After all, he could afford expensive lawyers...
