Not a word of condemnation from the MSM or political leaders anywhere. It’s pretty obvious the reason they aren’t condemning it is because it is their intention to implement it globally. Anyone who thinks this isn’t coming to England is in for a rude awakening very soon #TYRANNYpic.twitter.com/jYtkwr6HcU
When I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled, via malicious complaints, in 2018), I frequently tweeted that Russia might offer the UK cheap gas supplies in return for a less-aggressively anti-Russia foreign policy.
The fact is that there are some people who cannot wait to be given the green light to denounce others. It happened not only in Stalin’s Russia but in the Britain of the Second World War, and in Germany too.
The Gestapo which (contrary to Western popular opinion formed via Hollywood films) was not a huge monolithic “NKVD” or “KGB” but a relatively small and efficient organization staffed almost entirely by ex-police detectives from the “Kripo” or Kriminalpolizei, spent much of its time following up leads generated by the public. Most were nonsense. In fact, a Gestapo officer spent much of his time binning plainly malicious and often anonymous denunciations.
“The Gestapo—at times—was overwhelmed with denunciations and most of its time was spent sorting out the credible from the less credible denunciations.[116] Many of the local offices were understaffed and overworked, struggling with the paper load caused by so many denunciations.” [Wikipedia]: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo#Population_ratios,_methods_and_effectiveness.
As can be seen, British people in 2020 and 2021 have shown themselves willing to report their neighbours and others even for breaches of the ridiculous and arbitrary “Rule of 6”, a “rule” just made up on the hoof by the bad joke currently posing as Prime Minister.
The propaganda put out last year was that Britain had become a stronger “community”. 90% or more of that was and is rubbish. As with most of the “virus”-related stuff, you are better off believing the very opposite of what the authorities say.

French police stand & watch them as they carry the dinghy to the shore & enter the water to board. Evidence they are culpable in trafficking by doing nothing.
You can see what is happening from the wider perspective: the international conspiracy (or “consensus”) wants to destroy the European peoples, their race and culture.
Aim: destroy European race and culture.
Method: flood Europe with the racially and culturally backward.
Also: Broadcast racemixing propaganda: put it into every TV drama, radio programme, TV ad, and promote the aim in a hundred other ways; normalize mixed-race offspring; prevent opposing views being heard or seen.
In the UK, there is empty rhetoric from the NWO/ZOG government about stopping “illegal” migration, but at same time the System is encouraging “legal” migration (and now also openly inviting 5 million Hong Kong Chinese to come and live in the UK).
Look at what the police, border guards, navies of Britain and France are doing. Are they even trying to stem the flood? No, they are facilitating it, with the occasional arrest of a few people-smugglers (to keep the public quiet).
This is conspiracy, and treachery.

Wikipedia is a useful resource if used with a sceptical attitude. For example, I saw this piece about one Anna Seghers, a Jewish woman who became a Communist Party member in Germany in 1928: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Seghers.
According to that article, Anna Seghers was “arrested by the Gestapo” in 1932. That would in fact have been impossible, if only because the Gestapo was established only in 1933, at which time it was a police organization purely in the region of Prussia, having been set up by Goering. It became a nationwide organization three or more years later, in and after 1936: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo.
Anna Seghers was from Mainz, in the Rhineland-Palatinate, and spent all or most of her life until 1934 in that region of Germany, mostly in Koblenz and Cologne. In other words, in the part of Germany where she lived, and when she lived there, there was no Gestapo.
It is possible that this Anna Seghers was questioned by local police, though not Gestapo, or even that she was briefly detained in 1933 or 1934 in Prussia (where there was a Gestapo), though that seems unlikely. Whatever the true facts, and even if she was arrested, she was then released. So she was not (as typical postwar propaganda would have it) brutalized, imprisoned, sent to a concentration camp, shot, “gassed” or her skull exhibited by SS-Ahnenerbe…
In fact, she went —and was allowed to go— to Switzerland in 1933 or 1934, and from there she went to Mexico.
“While still in Paris, in 1939, she had written The Seventh Cross, for which she received the Büchner-Prize in 1947. The novel is set in 1936 and describes the escape of seven prisoners from a concentration camp. It was published in the United States in 1942 and produced as a movie in 1944 by MGM starring Spencer Tracy. The Seventh Cross was one of the very few depictions of Nazi concentration camps, in either literature or the cinema, during World War II.” [Wikipedia]
So look at that above paragraph: The Seventh Cross was “one of the very few depictions of concentration camps” before 1945, yet that description is entirely fictional! Anna Seghers was never anywhere near a concentration camp or any kind of camp! In fact, she had left Germany in 1933 or 1934, i.e. before or within a few months of Hitler’s accession as Chancellor.
Reminiscent of the above is the 1993 film Schindler’s List, which many think of as “history”, whereas in fact it was based on a novel, Schindler’s Ark, written by an Australian who was only born in 1935, and whose novel (i.e. a work of fiction, which in fact won the Booker Prize for Historical Fiction) was published in 1983.
Naturally, a few real facts are woven into the fictional narrative. This is common to all “faction” writing (cf. The Day of the Jackal etc).
Another is the film Sophie’s Choice, which is completely fictional, but which many naive people cite as a “true story” and an example of the behaviour of the SS etc!
#OtD 19 Nov 1900, German communist and anti-Nazi activist Anna Seghers was born in Mainz. She wrote a novel in 1932 warning of the dangers of fascism, Die Gefährten, which led her to be arrested by the Gestapo, but she survived pic.twitter.com/SkbVY9mIXH
The “Working Class History” Twitter account weasels about Anna Seghers having “survived”, as if “the Gestapo” did terrible things to her instead of…nothing. The tweet there is very misleading, implying that Anna Seghers was detained for years, maybe until 1945!
I notice that self-describing “historian” and “journalist” Mike Stuchbery, a twice-sacked temporary schoolteacher now living in Stuttgart, Germany, retweeted the above misleading tweet. He really ought to start to check his facts, in the manner of a real historian…[https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/].

What surprises me is the surprise shown by all (in the msm etc).
Actually, exactly what do you have to do now to get permanently binned as a minister or Cabinet minister? Seems that bullying your staff is not enough.

It may be that a number of readers of this blog have already heard of someone called Mike Stuchbery, 40, who describes himself on Twitter as “journalist, historian and teacher” (also, now that he has relocated to Germany, “tour guide”).
Stuchbery is of Australian origin, whatever that now means. He was apparently a blogger on educational matters for the Australian broadcaster ABC (akin to the BBC) for a while. He was a teacher in Germany and Australia, then in the UK, but was sacked after a month or so from his last school (even though his contract was only for 3 months anyway) for reasons that are “a little vague”, at least to me. He then moved to Luton, where he rebranded himself as “historian” and “journalist”, despite (as far as I know) having never having had any training, education or work experience in those fields (I am very fair: if anyone has verifiable information to the contrary, let me know and I shall amend this article or add a note).
Stuchbery as “historian”
Now, we are, especially perhaps in the UK, in a society where all sorts of people do a degree in, say, History, maybe even get a “doctorate” (no-one actually ever fails…they just do a year and write a thesis, no matter how narrowly-based, then call themselves “historian” and/or “Doctor”).
Traditionally, in the UK (though not in, say, Germany), “Dr.” was reserved for academics, people in holy orders, scientists doing research etc, or medical doctors (though many medical men and women in fact do not have doctorates— it’s a conventional courtesy title). It was always thought infra dig for anyone else with a doctorate to actually call themselves “doctor” as a title, even though people with a Ph.D. do actually have a doctorate on paper.
Likewise, the term “historian” has been reserved for those either engaged in teaching History, as an academic subject at university level, or writing about it.
Leaving that aside, as far as I know Stuchbery has no formal qualifications in History anyway. I suppose that I could be mistaken, but in any event he is neither teaching at a university (for what that may now be worth) nor writing books. He simply tweets bits and pieces (though I’m not knocking his tweets about German —or other— Dark Ages, mediaeval, or Renaissance history; in fact I enjoy reading them, as I do some of his other non-political tweets).
As far as I am aware, Stuchbery has written no book about historical events.
I myself am very interested in some aspects of history and some periods of history, but I would not call myself “historian”, even though, in one or two areas, my knowledge-level would be equivalent to that of a “professional” historian.
Look at this:
Other opponents of the regime were simply held temporarily at Hotel Silber. Rudolf Schlichter, the influential 1920s artist, painted 'The Prisoner' after his time there.

“Other opponents of the regime were simply held temporarily at Hotel Silber. Rudolf Schlichter, the influential 1920s artist, painted ‘The Prisoner’ after his time there. Rudolf Steiner, the educational theorist & mystic, was also temporarily detained for Gestapo questioning. /7“
Ah. So according to “historian” Stuchbery, Rudolf Steiner was “temporarily detained for Gestapo questioning”? Stuchbery thus manages to display ignorance of both Rudolf Steiner and the Gestapo. For those unaware of why that is:
Rudolf Steiner was born in 1861 in a Germanophone region of what today is Croatia and died in Switzerland of natural causes in 1925;
The Gestapo was established by Goering in 1933 (initially in Prussia, only being extended to other parts of Germany in and after 1936).
In other words, Rudolf Steiner died eight years before the Gestapo even existed. Rudolf Steiner was in fact not even in Germany after 1923, so the idea that he could be “detained for Gestapo questioning” is made even more absurd.
You begin to see why people question Stuchbery’s qualifications (in any sense— he has no formal qualification or training in history, as far as I know). The above example is not in any way obscure or trivial. These are basic facts for any educated person who purports to know about the period in question.
Readers might note that the other person Stuchbery mentions in those tweets was released by the Gestapo (assuming that he, unlike Steiner, was ever there). One could not imagine that happening under Stalin’s rule which the KPD (German communists) supported. Stuchbery thinks that the KPD were just poor victims of National Socialism. That’s not just politically and historically biased and/or naive; it’s simply inaccurate.
Stuchbery as “journalist”
The Guardian was ready to refer to Stuchbery as “journalist”! Well, I suppose that if idiots like Zoe Williams and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown can pose as journalists, why not!
In fact, while the Huffington Post and a couple of (real) UK national newspapers have apparently printed stuff once or twice by Stuchbery (though not for some years, as far as I know), his “journalistic” scribbling seems confined now to a couple of online outlets such as one called Byline Times.
Stuchbery’s states of mind
Stuchbery has mental problems and is on some kind of medication, like so many “antifa” and also many Jew-Zionist types. I have even blogged, previously, about the connection between contemporary “anti-fascism” and mental illness. Perhaps I should add Stuchbery to that article.
Hey, Lucy, know you're lurking, so let me be absolutely clear:
I will never, ever be ashamed of my previous struggles with mental illness. Ever.

Stuchbery’s methods as “antifa” nuisance and “activist”
Stuchbery tends to threaten people obliquely, though he never puts his own head on the block. His modus operandi is threefold:
to incite violence by “antifa” idiots;
to try to get the police or other security agencies involved so that social nationalists and others get harassed and snooped upon;
to denounce those of a broadly nationalist viewpoint to online platforms and fora, with the aim of killing off free speech and also preventing such people from receiving donations online (see below)

Talking of people “peeing themselves”, here’s a photo of Stuchbery when his attempt to incite some kind of home invasion at the home of the wife of the political activist known as “Tommy Robinson” went wrong. It went wrong for Stuchbery because Robinson later turned up at Stuchbery’s own home (both houses were in Luton, UK), at which point Stuchbery had a total meltdown. I do not know whether he actually “peed himself”, but I should not be surprised. Remember, this is the Stuchbery who tweeted about how others should “punch Nazis, keep on punching, never stop…”, and said that German “antifa” thugs should travel overseas to attack social nationalists, because “German antifa really know how to crack skulls” (though he himself could not punch his way out of a wet paper bag).

So Stuchbery is on GoFundMe, Patreon, Crowdfunder, Ko-fi etc?
I do not object to that, as such.
If people want to support Stuchbery while he works (if at all) part-time, while he travels around Germany enjoying himself (he relocated to Stuttgart a month or two ago), then more fool them! What I object to is the hypocrisy and malice of Stuchbery and his crowd of fake “journalists”, “historians”, people who use the title “Dr.” when they are just one-trick-ponies with a Ph.D. from some degree mill. They sneak around the Internet, trying to close down freedom of expression.

Hypocrite Stuchbery tweets about “freedom of belief” while supporting the “German” laws criminalizing, inter alia, “holocaust” “denial” ( historical revision) etc. He believes in “freedom of belief” so much that, if he sees anyone with whom he disagrees, he tries to get that person bumped off Twitter, Facebook etc, tries to get the person arrested, tries to attack his or her donation pages online, or worse…
Here [see below] is the Germany that Stuchbery and his equally extremist “German” wife love (to see trashed): invaded by millions of non-Europeans and ruled by an authoritarian Zionist Occupation Government [ZOG]!
Stuchbery and others want to run those with whom they disagree off Twitter (which they laughably over-value), other online fora too, and also prevent them from getting funding via donations. Stuchbery wants to prevent the freedom of expression of others.
In other words, Stuchbery is a kind of para-terrorist, one who would not say boo to a goose in real life, but wallows in the violence committed by others of a so-called “anti-fascist”, meaning anti-European race and culture, disposition. Moreover, he has a record of incitement. He talks at times as if he is on good terms with security services in Germany. Maybe those departments should take a good look at him (and his German wife).
Notes
Incredibly, even the Daily Telegraph called Stuchbery an “historian” when alt-Right “Prison Planet” Watson (quite rightly) exploded re. yet another attempt to brainwash young people into believing that Britain has always been “diverse” (full of blacks)…and yes, the Romans may have imported a few Arabs or Nubians as slaves or whatever. That means nothing.
In fact, the same (((propaganda))) and (((brainwashing))), calling Stuchbery “historian”, found its way right across the media (msm), even into such unlikely publications as Teen Vogue! Written by one Robert Newhouse…(((……?……..)))
Perhaps I should add, for those unaware of my views, that I am not a follower or supporter of “Tommy Robinson”, though I agree with a few of his views, notably the invasion of Europe by Muslims and others. For me, Robinson is just an unwitting (perhaps witting) catspaw for the System: pro-Jew, pro-Israel etc, just like Katie Hopkins, “Prison Planet” Watson, Breitbart, UKIP, Brexit Party etc. However, unlike Stuchbery, I do not want to deny Robinson or the others their free speech rights.
Update, 28 October 2019
He’s still trying to destroy freedom of expression online…
The latest news is that some odd woman tied up with both “antifa” nonsense and Jew-Zionists has created a GoFundMe appeal on behalf of Stuchbery, supposedly so that he can sue the political activist known as Tommy Robinson.
I prefer not to comment on the proposed legal claim until I read more about the foundations for such claim. I presume that Stuchbery is doing this (the woman mentioned above may be raising funds for him but only Stuchbery himself can actually sue) because:
he knows or believes that Tommy Robinson has assets sufficient to satisfy any successful claim;
he has seen that others are already suing Tommy Robinson;
he thinks, perhaps, that a civil legal action will damage Tommy Robinson by starving him of funds;
if successful, Stuchbery will make a great deal more money than he gets at present via online begging or his part-time work in Stuttgart, where he now resides.
Were I the defendant, and leaving aside the potential substantive issues that might be in issue in the proposed case, I suppose that I should focus firstly on the fact that Stuchbery is
resident outside the strict jurisdiction (albeit still in the EU);
is a foreign national (as I understand, an Australian citizen);
has no real or other property in England and Wales;
has no means with which to satisfy any judgment on costs or in respect of any counterclaim or setoff that might be claimed by Tommy Robinson, should the Court decide against Stuchbery on one or more issues or otherwise.
I doubt that this claim will get off the ground. I certainly doubt that it will clear the probable first hurdle, as explained above, but we shall see. It appears, however, that plenty of mugs are donating to the said GoFundMe appeal at present.
Update, 25 November 2019
Stuchbery’s solicitors, Eve Solicitors (the firm is a limited company in fact, possibly in effect a one-man operation), are operating out of a rundown Victorian terrace in Bradford; several other small legal and other firms are operating nearby. The operation has only been in operation since 20 May 2019, at earliest:
The “firm” has only been at its present address since 28 September 2019, before which, i.e. from its incorporation in May until September 2019, it operated out of a tiny Victorian terraced house in a “Coronation Street” lookalike, Hudswell Street, Wakefield (Yorkshire).
The principal (and only named) solicitor is one Waseem Ahmed.
Where the name “Eve” came from, God knows. My only guess is “Adam and Eve”, as in the Cockney rhyming slang, “you wouldn’t Adam and Eve it!”
Only joking.
Having said that, when I was a practising barrister in London in the early-mid 1990s, I knew of Pakistani and other ethnic-minority solicitors (in London, in Luton and elsewhere) who used “English”-sounding names for their small firms. Some of them still owe me money! (Unpaid fees). I am sure that Stuchbery’s solicitor is not like that.
I looked earlier at the GoFundMe appeal set up to collect money for Stuchbery’s proposed legal claim against Tommy Robinson. So far, 262 mugs have donated a total (as of time and date of writing) of £5,209 to start the claim. I wonder whether they or others will donate the rest of the £15,000 asked for? Frankly, I doubt it, though the amount so far raised has been raised in only three days.
I doubt that the proposed lawsuit will either launch or get anywhere.
Further thoughts
The woman who is fundraising for Stuchbery, and who seems to have all day to tweet etc, has tweeted that “As many of you know, Mike Stuchbery is about to sue #TommyRobinson for harassment. He is backed by #ResistingHate and a full legal team.“
A “full legal team”? So that would be someone called Waseem Ahmed and…?
I do not say that “Eve Solicitors” (i.e. Mr. Ahmed) is a one-man-band (though it certainly seems to be), and I cannot say that there are no legal people offering advice etc from the sidelines (what used to be known at the Bar as “cocktail party advice”), but I do know, having been at one time a practising barrister who (in the 1990s) regularly appeared (weekly, at least) in the High Court, as well as in County Courts, and more occasionally other types of court and tribunal (both then and in the 2002-2008 period), that GoFundMe £20,000 will only serve to kick off such a case and claim, if I have understood its likely nature properly. Costs rapidly escalate.
Solicitors vary in their fees, barristers likewise. Simply to issue proceedings in a High Court action (which I suppose the proposed case would probably be) would be several hundred pounds as a minimum, and many thousands of pounds in some cases.
As a rule of thumb, a barrister will get anywhere from (as minimum) £500 a day on a small civil matter in the County Court, up to many thousands of pounds per day for almost any High Court matter, though there is no “limit” as such, and some barristers, eg the top commercial silks (QCs) will be on £10,000 a day or more. The spectrum is very wide.
As those who enjoyed Rumpole of the Bailey will know, a barrister usually gets a “brief fee” (to cover all preparation and the first day, if any, in court), then daily “refreshers”. How much are they? How long is a piece of string?
One of my own last few cases was a County Court commercial matter involving a large amount of cattle feed. Now that it is long ago since I last appeared in court (December 2007; this case was not long before that), I think that I can reveal, by way of illustration, that I was paid, that time, £5,000 as a brief fee and £1,000 a day for refreshers (in fact there were no refreshers, because the matter settled on the first day in court).
I have no real idea how much the case of Stuchbery v. Robinson might cost Stuchbery in legal fees if it is ever pursued to court, but my semi-educated guess (“semi” because I have not been involved with the Bar for over a decade) is that whoever presents it in court (unless doing it for free or on the cheap) will probably want a brief fee of perhaps £5,000 (at least) and (at minimum) £500 per day refreshers. Maybe £10,000 and £1,000 per day. It can be seen that, even at the lower estimate, a 2-week hearing (10 days in court, which this well might be) is going to cost £9,500 for Counsel’s fees alone.
Solicitors’ fees also vary widely. When I myself worked (overseas) for law firms (as an employed lawyer), the firms charged for my work at anything up to USD $500 (or about £400) an hour (I myself didn’t get that, sadly, the firms did); and that was over 20 years ago. I suppose that Stuchbery’s solicitors will not be very expensive, but will probably still charge maybe £50 an hour at absolute minimum. Solicitor case preparation might take hundreds of hours. 100 hours @ £50 p.h. = £5,000.
Then there are what solicitors term “disbursements”, i.e. the expenses of the case such as issue fees, witness expenses, whatever.
You can see how £20,000 can be quickly exhausted…
However, even if Stuchbery’s solicitors (solicitor?) can launch the proposed matter and fund a couple of weeks in court (and don’t forget that the solicitor, if in attendance, will also be charging for his time there), there is the matter of what happens if Stuchbery loses. No, that is not left to chance. The lawyers for the proposed defendant, Robinson, will in that event have to have their costs covered too. Even if they only come to the same level as Stuchbery’s (which I doubt), that puts Stuchbery (and possibly others who have funded the claim) £20,000+ in the hole. It could be a great deal more. Maybe even hundreds of thousands.
Stuchbery is an Australian citizen, maybe also a German one now (I do not know). He has no real property in the UK or, as far as I know, even in Germany, where he now lives. He has no, or no substantial, monies in the UK (or anywhere?). He does not have a substantial income or a full-time job.
On the above facts, and if Robinson applies in court for that, Stuchbery is almost certain to have to provide “security for costs”, i.e. [see above] monies “paid into court” (into a court-controlled account) to cover Robinson’s costs should Stuchbery lose his case. Likewise, on the above facts, that would almost certainly have to be the whole of Robinson’s likely outlay in defending the case. Certainly tens of thousands of pounds. Possibly over £100,000.
If Robinson applies for security for costs, if the court agrees with the application, but then Stuchbery cannot come up with whatever sum is demanded (I cannot think that it would be lower than £20,000; probably far far more), then the claim (the case) will be struck out, possibly with costs awarded to Robinson.
Stuchbery will probably have to raise £40,000+ even to start his case.
I think that my readers will understand better now why I think that Stuchbery has no chance of success regardless of the merits of his case (if any).
Presumably, Stuchbery does understand that, in a case like this, witnesses (he himself, Robinson, others) will have to give evidence, be cross-examined on that, all the while with Stuchbery staying in the UK, perhaps for weeks or even a month or more. Expensive.
Update, 26 November 2019
Stuchbery again applauding censorship, and elimination of free speech and accurate reporting (but then, Stuchbery not being a real journalist but a tendentious pro-“antifa” fanatic, what else would one expect of him?):
Meanwhile, the “Sue Tommy Robinson” GoFundMe set up by Stuchbery’s supporter(s) is running into the sand. The fund is still attracting donations at a daytime rate of about £100 an hour (almost nothing overnight); about £1,000 a day. The rate is slowing and I myself doubt that it will reach its £20,000 target (as I write, the total stands at over £6,600), let alone the £40,000+ really required to seriously launch proceedings in a matter of this sort. Still, time will tell.
I have to concede that it is impressive to see so many donations flood in, mostly at £5 or £10 a time. One every 5-10 minutes as I look this evening. A lot of people don’t like Tommy Robinson. I’m not very favourable to him myself! (I oppose Stuchbery and his type more, though).
I doubt that Stuchbery’s mental health will stand up to what could be an extended civil trial, if it ever gets going. I have blogged previously about the odd fact that so many “antifa” types are on medication for mental problems.
Anyway, looks like he’s gone, at least for now.
Update, 27 November 2019
The plot thickens!
Pre-action letter has gone out to 'Tommy Robinson' alerting him of my intention to take legal action against him.
I notice that Stuchbery has already deleted his “everybody hates me; I’m going into the garden to eat worms” tweet of last night. He must have forgotten to take his medication. Lucky that I copied the tweet to this blog…
As to the “Letter before Action”, such letters were at one time often the only correspondence inter partes before proceedings were issued. Since the advent of the new Civil Procedure Rules [“CPR”] about 20 years ago, there is laid down a whole pre-action protocols for various types of case: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules
I notice that the letter refers only to “harassment” as a head of action (at this stage at least). I notice also that the letter is signed by a solicitor called Mohammed Akhtar. So Eve Solicitors would seem to have at least two lawyers on board.
Speaking personally, this is not an area of law I myself ever dealt with, even after I returned to the practising Bar in 2002 (after 6 years spent away, mostly overseas). It will be noted that the Act itself dates from 1997. The Act covers both criminal and civil proceedings.
However, as a purely civil matter, which this proposed legal action is, it will be heard in the County Court, in all probability, rather than the High Court. The judge can grant an injunction (e.g. restraining the defendant from approaching the claimant or his home, or from doing various acts). The judge is also empowered to award damages.
In this proposed case, the court will not (IMO) order any injunction because the proposed claimant, Stuchbery, lives overseas (and in fact it may be that the proposed defendant, Robinson, has no idea where exactly Stuchbery lives in Germany, meaning his actual address). The Court will not in any event purport to grant an injunction in another jurisdiction. An injunction only affecting England and Wales is possible, but might be considered otiose in a circumstance where Stuchbery is overseas and may never be again in the English jurisdiction.
That leaves damages.
In this case, it may be that Robinson would be able to lay a counterclaim. That will depend on the facts (which I know only in outline, from what I have read).
This case may well require a “window” of several weeks and may be set down for more than 1 week. Perhaps 2 weeks. Perhaps longer (e.g. if there is to be a counterclaim). There may be and probably will be a need to call numerous witnesses.
Despite the Letter before Action, and despite the likelihood that this will be County Court and not High Court, my feeling is that this action will either not proceed, or perhaps may be launched only to founder on the jagged reef of “Security for Costs”. I cannot see that any judge would deny Robinson security for his likely costs, on these facts.
I still think that Stuchbery and his backers are going to have to come up with something nearer to £40,000 to get this matter launched and over the Security for Costs hurdle.
I have decided to publish a separate blog post about Stuchbery’s legal action, to include anything else about his activities that might be of interest. That means that this blog post ends here.
Here we are almost at mid-January 2020, yet so far no sign of either the harassment action threatened against Tommy Robinson by Stuchbery and his cohorts, or even the second fundraising drive for that (disguised as a drive for funds so that Frau Stuchbery can also sue). It will be interesting to see whether either will happen. If not, what happens to the nearly £10,000 already donated to Roanna, “witch of peace”, for Stuchbery’s legal action?
I begin to wonder whether the police and/or Solicitors’ Regulation Authority may not eventually be taking an interest in this crowdfunding activity.
I see on Twitter that “Dr.” Louise Raw, another prolific “antifa” tweeter, seems to think that there will be a defamation action against Tommy Robinson. Not by Stuchbery, I hazard (I suppose that she may be referring to a different potential claimant).
In the meantime, despite claiming on Twitter to have no less than three jobs, Stuchbery, on this Friday morning, seems (what a surprise) not to be working but strolling into town (I presume Stuttgart) to have a leisurely coffee:
Think I've gone a new level of native here. Sun's out, so I've gone into town, despite the stiff breeze, to pick up some Vitamin D and drink coffee.
“Despite the stiff breeze“? Ha ha! Hardly Front Line Stalingrad…
In the meantime, Stuchbery, while drinking his —as it may be— melange or mocha, is still inciting violence online against those who question the “holocaust” farrago:

Update, 19 July 2020
Stuchbery again threatening to bring defamation actions across the world, actions that he would be unable to sustain substantively or financially. He’s not exactly a loony, not totally, but not far off. Mentally and politically “disturbed”.
If they did, it'd be libel and they'd want a bloody great lawyer, and so would the groups associated with them, because I'd clean them out otherwise. https://t.co/aKGkmjqRbA
That must be about the 10th time at least that I have seen Stuchbery threaten to bring legal suit in defamation etc against all sorts of people (a while ago, he was claiming that I myself “defame” him; I never received his summons to a defamation action, and never will…).
Oh, and his “planned action” (planned by him and the “antifa” troll Roanna Carleton-Taylor of Derbyshire) has raised £11,644 via GoFundMe, but the last donation (£5) was nearly 3 months ago, and it is clear that I was right: Stuchbery never will sue Tommy Robinson. I have no idea whether Stuchbery, “Roanna” and the Paki-stani one-man solicitor firm will simply divide up the money that mugs donated. Perhaps we shall find out, one day.
Update, 21 July 2020
Stuchbery again threatening people with libel action, this time over their retweeting of this blog!
and the retweeter has dug deeper with his “me too”-ism, now calling me “vile” and “a fucking awful person” (because I am against the Jew-Zionists and for a real future for Europe and the world).
After actually checking there's no arguing the author is a fucking awful person. Regardless, nobody has addressed the content at all.
How quick these supposed “liberal”/”Left” types are to judge the character of someone (me) that they have not met and about whom they know nothing, really…Still, at least this one still likes my article!
Now the retweeter talks about me having “mental issues”! No, never did have, either. Stuchbery, on the other hand…(read my article). Just as well that I do not launch fantasy libel actions at the drop of a hat…
I will live with the shame. I didn't know of the author's mental issues prior to posting but that doesn't change the content of the post.
Their argument rumbles on, with both sides playing defamation lawyer. Typical Twitter. Comedy gold; and all about whether someone with no public profile outside Twitter (Stuchbery) was libelled by various people unknown or those (speaking of myself) with no public profile at all, except that I have been attacked by Jew-Zionist fanatics in the past years:
Are you saying I support Nazis? This is quite interesting given my history but whatever tickles your pickle. Unlike Cryin' Mike I don't threaten legal action for slander terribly often.
As a matter of fact, Stuchbery (or anyone else) ought to have a look at my several articles about the Jew solicitor, Mark Lewis, whom many (mugs) think a great libel lawyer, before threatening me with a defamation action! I have said far far “worse” (though true) things about Lewis than I ever have about Stuchbery, yet (despite the fact that Lewis and/or his friends are well aware of my address etc) he has never attempted to sue me…
I might add that, though I was not (mainly) a defamation barrister when I was a barrister, I did advise on a few cases, though my main defamation “case” was advised on and brought to court when I was still a belated student, and before I ever was a barrister: Flegon v. Solzhenitsyn. We won.
To his credit, Hayden Hewitt, whoever he is, does stick to his guns in saying that my article about Stuchbery is interesting (look at some of my others…feel free), but sadly feels the need to judge me again (I am, apparently, in his wisdom, to be considered “a shit human being“, presumably for not being “woke”…)
Sorry, it means being a fanboy. You know, supporting people who actually condone violence (not libel, he's tweeted it himself). But I digress, I care not that the author of the article is a shit human being there was some interesting content in there.
Playing Devil’s Advocate, though, Monsieur Hewitt is not correct in saying that any libel in my article would, in fantasy libel land, devolve only upon me. If someone republishes (eg retweets) a libel, the retweeter is jointly and severally liable for the libel with the original publisher of the alleged libel and any other republishers. Hey, I might get to know Monsieur Hewitt after all, when Stuchbery sues us both! We can listen to Stuchbery outline his case, as squadrons of flying pigs pass by…
The one thing extra that is interesting me about this typically unimportant Twitter squall in a teacup is that Mike Stuchbery seems to have a number of people supporting him; the sad thing, for him, is that they all seem to be mentally-deficient, marginalized, and both ignorant and fanatical (often with under a hundred Twitter followers; is that even possible these days?!).
Update, 22 July 2020
So, I climbed my 'mountain' yesterday. The Michaelsberg, near Cleebronn, is a very special spot. First a Celt sacred site, then a Roman temple honouring the moon, then an Alemannic church, it finally ended up a Capuchin monastery. pic.twitter.com/TCQUHVcQpf
Now if only Stuchbery would stick to tweeting about this sort of thing, and drop the “antifa” nonsense…The tweet above is genuinely interesting.
Update, 2 August 2020
I saw this:
I hear there's another hit piece coming out on me, making defamatory claims. To those working on it – be very, very careful about what you have to say, lest it become extremely expensive for you.
Interesting. Incidentally, the “hit piece” is not something of mine, or in any way connected with me. I may link to it though, if and when it is published (and if it is of interest).
Note that Stuchbery again threatens a defamation action. How many would that be? To be fair, he has not actually or directly threatened me with one, though he has tweeted (incorrectly) that I have “defamed” him (I demur, and/or say that he would have no actionable claim against me, quite apart from any ability to collect money from me in the event —which would never happen— that he were successful in any claim against me).
Stuchbery has certainly threatened defamation actions or other legal action against “Tommy Robinson”, unnamed Danish bloggers or tweeters, various others. Nothing has happened in any country so far. It never will. Stuchbery is an online “blowhard”, a man of straw.
Update, 4 August 2020
Saw this tweet, in which Stuchbery commends the mini-police state being imposed on the unfortunate people of his native Melbourne.
Stuchbery again manifesting his inner “Stalinist”. He just loves the idea of inflicting violence on others, or even seeing it happen, or reading about it. I think that his mental problems are far more severe than he admits, and may go back to childhood.
Update, 18 August 2020
Stuchbery is now threatening to sue yet another group of people!
'Unchained Media' are promising to release an article which will clearly be defamatory, judging by this snippet. Any response will come from here, and action will be taken judging on the severity of the claims. pic.twitter.com/gq2xAALISQ
So how many does that make? “Unchained Media” (whoever they are), Tommy Robinson, various Danes, me, various others. In reality, none will be sued.
By the way, what did happen to the money raised by no less than 692 mugs on the basis that Tommy Robinson was going to be sued? It stuck at £11, 644, and no-one has donated for months: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sue-tommy-robinson
Is it just sitting there? Did Stuchbery get any? Did Roanna aka “@antifashwitch/@witchofpeace” get any of it, or does their Paki-stani solicitor have it in some account or other? We do not know…
At least Stuchbery & Co have a good excuse now as to why they cannot sue Tommy Robinson: he has apparently recently relocated to Spain.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery (now resident in Stuttgart) is still loving the idea of people having violence inflicted on them, whether by out of control Australian police, “antifa” idiots in London, or whoever…
Below, Stuchbery defending cold-blooded murder. Stuchbery’s idea of “self-defence” ignores any notion of proportionality: someone who arrives somewhere with a paintball gun and a pepper spray is fair game to be sought out and just gunned down!
Paul, babe, maybe don't turn up to a city with mace and paintball guns if you don't want someone to exercise their right to self-defence? Play fuckwit games, win fuckwit prizes. https://t.co/8b9khfJklM
Still, I suppose that one should not expect rationality from the irrational…
Keep taking the pills…
Update, 2 September 2020
Below, cowardly sadist Stuchbery enjoys the fact that in Australia’s pathetic (and economically-collapsing) new “woke” and multikulti police state, a young pregnant mother is handcuffed and arrested in front of her young children for the “crime” of calling for a demonstration against the “virus” hysteria:
Covid Karen back in Oz learns the hard way that posting about an anti-mask demo on Facebook actually constitutes Incitement. https://t.co/RylQSOSBgp
A reminder below of one time when Stuchbery himself “learned the hard way“, crying his eyes out and quite likely becoming incontinent!
Update, 4 December 2022
Well, here we are, over 3 years from the date of the original blog post and, quelle surprise, Stuchbery, Roanna Carleton-Taylor (now “@oilpaintwitch”), and the Paki-stani one-man-firm solicitor “up North” have not, as far as I have seen anywhere, sued Tommy Robinson; neither have they taken even preliminary steps to doing so. I have no idea whether the three stooges will just split the nearly £12,000 donated by hundreds of naive “woke” mugs. I would not be surprised if that had already occurred. If so, it would be not far from being a species of fraud.
The “woke”, pro-“antifa” and “anti-racist” people on Twitter etc are often just stupid mugs; look at how many of them donate money monthly on Patreon to the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, aka “Jack Monroe”.
Update, 23 February 2023
Stuchbery is still “grifting”…
January and February are always very tight. If you enjoy the periodic content that your favourite neurospicy history-obsessive creates, why not buy me a three-buck coffee? Better than giving Space Karen eight bucks! https://t.co/Xd2iEmxucQpic.twitter.com/FstYsjUZc0
Well, contrary to what he said a few years ago, Stuchbery has now given up the fiction that he “works three jobs“, or even one. He tweeted a little while ago that he is now a beneficiary of Germany’s generous social security/”welfare” system. As I presumed would be the case from the start.
Update, 17 October 2024
Verrry tough month here, so if you enjoy my content across my various social media, buying me a coffee would be greatly appreciated. https://t.co/F5OpoIhhNI
Because it doesn't pay the bills, man. I literally need to use the time to find a full-time gig.
Look, I'd love tweeting on history, but people aren't gonna sign up to a Patreon for tweets and there's no way I'm signing up for a blue tick to get paid for impressions. https://t.co/IBzYuImpxg
Pity. Even I was willing to concede that I liked some of Stuchbery’s historical pieces (though not the ones about 19thC/20thC history, where his political biases and ignorance tend to result in risible errors). No matter that Stuchbery mostly copies stuff he gets from tourist literature; some is still of interest.
Actually, you know what, fuck it, I'm curious, and I'm broke, and I wanna tweet about history without X Premium or whatever.
Would you pay €2-3 a month for a couple of threads, 'On This Day's and other historical treats?
Looks like Stuchbery has about 36 potential clients, so a potential 72 Euros a month (about £60)… Better keep “signing-on” in Stuttgart!
Update, 28 November 2024
Stuchbery is still making empty threats, this time against Elon Musk!
I feature (very, very, very inaccurately) in said documentary. If Elon gets me hurt by some deranged chud, the noise I'll make is unbelievable. leftfootforward.org/2024/11/elon…
Musk will be shaking with fear as unemployed grifter Stuchbery (who lives off the German social security system) threatens to “make a noise“! The German psychiatrists who must now be prescribing his medication should increase the dosage!
Here is Stuchbery “making a noise” about me (falsely, because he had already tweeted several if not many times about me) in 2020:
Does anybody know who this Ian Millard bloke is? It's just been brought to my attention he's been consistently defaming me. https://t.co/1Kv5xYACVx
Ok. Finally pulled the plug over there. Difficult, as it gave me a voice when I struggled in real life. It took me some wild places. It’s a dark place now, and I can’t be a part of it any longer. Can’t give the worst people in the world that much access to me. Deeply bittersweet, but also relief.— Mike Stuchbery 💀🍷 (@mikestuchbery.bsky.social) 22 January 2025 at 11:55
Stuchbery has already started to “report” various Blue Sky posts with which he disagrees. Ha…
[“Retribution— Get down there where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]
Update, 30 January 2025
Despite the largesse of the German social security system, Stuchbery continues to beg for money online:
BYW, if you're enjoying #badeurope, you can always buy me a coffee. It fuels the sifting for historical horrors! ko-fi.com/mikestuchbery
…and he still has not corrected his own historical errors of years ago, some pointed out above on the blog…
Meanwhile, dozens of mugs on Blue Sky Social apparently regard Stuchbery as some kind of authority on German National Socialism and the Third Reich! Ha ha!
