This blog post may be shorter than other daily posts, at least in terms of original content, because I am working on a long post about the Alison Chabloz situation and connected free speech issues. That will probably be posted this evening or overnight; if not, then soon, anyway.
In the meantime, some tweets and news reports I have seen:
Proof that Harvard does not teach common sense. Never even entered her mind that threatening to stab people would be frowned upon by her employer. Idiot.
Incidentally, I would not usually repost anything from “Never Again UK”, a Twitter account run by a fanatical Jew Zionist, but in this case I make an exception. It made me laugh, too.
That woman exhibits the same characteristics as Shane Jones of Nailsea and others of that ilk (see preceding BBC tweet), an inability to see themselves and their own inconsistent stance clearly.
CoronaVirus is so progressive that it only spreads in families, churches, pubs & Donald Trump and pro-statue rallies. It knows that BLM and Antifa riots must be left alone. pic.twitter.com/2UwAVvMiin
I should have mentioned, @admcollingwood, that the expression 'scientific consensus' is an oxymoron. Science progresses by the experimental destruction of previously settled and widely-accepted ideas. Try this for example https://t.co/OGiCb4109qhttps://t.co/pX4nMOtwPR
How does it 'make sense' @hardfloor74? Disease in decline, no serious risk to most people who catch it, evidence of usefulness of muzzles so weak even the govt panic-mongers admit it;In a year's' time all the dolphins will be complaining that the sea's full of discarded muzzles. https://t.co/9qMEKFtuQu
A different point @RobM777. FDR was, whatever your view of him (mine is very mixed) , *faced* with mass unemployment which had arisen before he took office. Al Johnson and his lot have *created* mass unemployment by deliberate action, and increased it by refusing to admit error. https://t.co/tt93dPtyeX
This is in the class of David Low @bobscartoons. The starkness, simplicity, the mixture of laughter and seriousness in the right proportions, the clear unfussy line. https://t.co/6TWw4l0Wsy
And getting away with it @nappatedd . The main criticism of the mad government, in the public mind, is that it did not go mad a week earlier. https://t.co/wB6VUj1IF9
Ruined lives, wrecked health , who knows what, all caused by state-sponsored panic. And these people claim to be the heirs of Franklin Roosevelt.. pic.twitter.com/zWTiblWQQk
Of course you're amazed @geofrec. Conformist Groupthinkers are always amazed by individual thought. 'Large' and 'substantial' are such precise words, aren't they? Actually the true definition of 'pandemic' is now 'disease the government has decided to panic about and exaggerate'. https://t.co/zLb45g9LC3
Totally unbothered @peterscellar. I don't think it is in most cases an especially severe disease,I cannot live a fugitive and cloistered life, and do not wish to. How do you feel about living the rest of your days under perpetual regulation, supervision and state-sponsored fear? https://t.co/vdi2IpQh5k
The extraordinary thing is that many in government, commerce and the msm seem to assume that the public will rush eagerly to pubs, wine bars, other places, even if forced to wear muzzles orsome sort, and perhaps even be enclosed in separate areas by plastic shower curtains. Screw that! Barbers too.
If my barber insists on me wearing a facemask in his shop (presumably the ladies he employs will also be wearing masks), then I shall just get my hair cut again at home. I am not a pop singer or male model, and no-one cares if I am not perfectly coiffed. I shall also be saving nearly £20 a pop. Ten more Lotto tickets. Yay!
Will MOSSAD or Aman (Israeli “services”) kill her, too?
The tweet below amused me. “Antifa” cheerleader (always from well behind the lines), Mike Stuchbery of (now) Stuttgart, claims, not for the first time, that he has several jobs. In reality, he spends most of his time playing the “historian” (deriving his comments from guide books etc), travelling around Baden-Württemberg to see the sights, drinking coffee or beer in cafes, while tweeting and trying to get those of whom he disapproves removed from Twitter, Facebook etc.
Was just texted by one of my employers, who found it very amusing that a 'Steffi Meadows' had emailed, saying that I was a notorious 'anti-white' racist who had to flee England. 🤣
— Mike Stuchbery 💀🍷 (@MikeStuchbery_) July 2, 2020
Actually, I quite like some of his Germany-based tweets about mediaeval and Renaissance history, but he will keep supporting the destruction of white Northern Europe… unacceptable.
Oh, here is the self-styled “historian” unable to spell the name “Mosley”…
She's not being 'cancelled'. She was never acceptable. Oswald Mosely fangirls advocating a white ethnostate aren't exactly stars. However, they are making money through videos.
Hate is no way to pay the bills. She should be looking at seeking gainful employment. https://t.co/0Mxl7FTNZ7
— Mike Stuchbery 💀🍷 (@MikeStuchbery_) July 2, 2020
On previous occasions, “historian” Stuchbery (he also claims to be “journalist” and teacher, among other things) has made other howlers, such as misidentifying a photo of Enoch Powell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell as one of Oswald Mosley, and claiming that the Gestapo held the great thinker Rudolf Steiner prisoner for several days in the 1930s, while they interrogated him.
This would have been impossible, because the Gestapo was not even established until 1933 (and in Prussia only, until 1936). Apart from that, Steiner died in Switzerland, and of natural causes, in 1925 (8 years before the Gestapo was established), and was not even in Germany after 1923.
Copying bits out of books or tourist guidebooks does not make anyone “historian”; neither does inventing cartoon-level “anti-fascist” “history”…
Note that Stuchbery tells someone that she should be “seeking gainful employment”, when he himself grifts constantly on all the online donation sites, as well as now getting subsidized by the German “welfare” system. What a hypocrite!
Regular readers will know that I have written previously about Mike Stuchbery and his collaborator Roanna Carleton-Taylor (aka “@WitchOfPeace” and now “@AntiFashWitch”).
There was supposed to be legal action launched (at latest) by January 2020. So far, nothing.
Well, here we are pretty much at the end of February. Stuchbery and “AntiFashWitch” Roanna Carleton-Taylor (and their “full legal team”, meaning a Pakistani in a back room in a North of England rustbelt town) have still not launched the threatened legal action (or even served the preliminary paperwork) against Tommy Robinson/Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
It looks as though, as I blogged weeks and even months ago, Stuchbery, Roanna and the Pakistani have reached “peak mug”. No-one now wants to donate to their doomed lawsuit. Only £5 has been donated to the GoFundMe appeal in over a week, and over the past month or so, only £80 has come in.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery continues to travel around Germany, sending out feelers for any hospitality that might be on offer:
I'm in Munich this weekend. Do I know anybody there?
Though now based in Stuttgart with his “German” wife, Stuchbery is going to Munich and has been around the Bodensee (Lake Constance) this week:
Guys, for various reasons I've been down near the Bodensee a bit and I don't think I've ever come across a landscape that made me feel so… happy? pic.twitter.com/LBfEmtQVQd
Quite a feat for someone who claims to “work three jobs”…
Still, I am sure that the 689 mugs who —incredibly— have donated to his GoFundMe appeal (currently totalling £11,614), or to Stuchbery directly, will be glad that Stuchbery can enjoy life at their expense, despite the fact that there is obviously never going to be a lawsuit by him against Tommy Robinson.
nb. As explained previously in my blog posts, the above does not mean that I support Tommy Robinson either.
This blog
I am not sure quite why, but despite the brevity of today’s blog so far (I am going to combine it with tomorrow’s), my blog pages have had more visitors today than on any other day in the 3 years since I started: over 600 views (349 of this page alone), from over 300 visitors. All in about 4 hours or so, and with nearly 7 hours to run (time now is just after 1700 hrs). More than twice the usual number of views and visitors. A strange statistical anomaly.
Note
I notice that, I having been mentioned by Stuchbery on his Twitter account, all sorts of odd people and natural “followers” have started to tweet things about me, often inaccurate. Example? That I was a member of the British Movement in the 1970s. No, I never was, though I believe that I did briefly exchange a couple of not entirely friendly letters with the leader of the BM, Michael McLaughlin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McLaughlin]. 1978, I think.
It is a characteristic of Twitter that many remoras follow each shark. Thus today the Twitter “followers” of Stuchbery support him by tweeting against me. A few examples seen:
a minor author (very minor) says that I feel entitled to “judge” Stuchbery because (she says) I have “a History A Level”. I suppose that that is a guess on her part (and she herself purports to “judge” me merely because a few “antifa” idiots tweet rubbish about me);
some idiot says that I am a “disbarred solicitor” (actually, barrister, not solicitor; and solicitors are in any case not “disbarred” but “struck off”;
some ugly cow tweets that I “have issues” and adds, by way of proving that assertion, that I made a typo somewhere, typing “lawter” instead of “lawyer”;
another one tweets that I am “far far right” (in fact, I never use the lazy terms “right” and “left”). That one also tweets, illogically, “ignore…report”! To whom will you “report” me, anyway? I am not on Twitter and my blog is hosted by WordPress, an excellent American organization wedded to the principles of freedom of expression. The woman wanting me to be both ignored and “reported” seems to be part-Danish and living in Belgium. Judgment poor…
I am called “a typical embittered internet nonentity” by, er, a typical Twitter nonentity called “Spex, @_Hydrofish”, who has all of 135 Twitter followers (I had 3,000 when the Jewish lobby had me expelled);
“@WigNatKing” asserts that I work for “TR News”, the Tommy Robinson setup. No. Not only do I not work for TR News, but have never had contact with it and do not, as such, “support” Tommy Robinson.
These people are beyond sad…Their whole day is made up of tweeting to others of similar views, while denouncing and “reporting” those with whom they disagree (or those with whom they think that they disagree) to Twitter. For such people, Twitter is terribly important. Fools, mostly.
Incidentally, Stuchbery may claim that my existence has just been “brought to his attention”, but I think not. However, he has, by mentioning my blog on his Twitter output, just increased considerably the numbers of those reading my stuff. “One human soul is a big audience”, as someone or other (St. Thomas Aquinas?) once said.
As for Stuchbery talking about defamation etc (a trait that he shares with quite a few other —mostly ignorant— persons on Twitter), he not only will not sue me (nor will he sue anyone else) in defamation, but cannot (for a number of reasons). He was ranting or bleating about suing a load of Danes, in Denmark, recently (and demanding to know names of suitable libel lawyers in that jurisdiction, despite being entirely unable to pay any retained).
Someone should write a dystopian sci-fi novel in which a malefic organization sets up something akin to Twitter, convinces people that it is pretty much the most important thing in the world, then manages to deflect any discontent in the self-describing “aware” population to that platform.
In that non-existent novel, the “aware” or “woke” or “liberal” (and indeed “illiberal” and pro-multikulti) people then spend almost all of their time on “Twitter” or whatever, thinking that they are achieving something, showing off, virtue-signalling, not to forget denouncing “bad folk” on the platform, and (very important to those idiots) getting the controllers of the platform to expel those with whom the “aware” people disagree. Meanwhile, the real rulers and influencers carry on ruling and influencing, and the poor Twitter saps are entirely unaware of it.
MI5
Saw a 30-min doc. about the Security Service, presented by ITV’s Security correspondent, an Indian or South African Indian (I think) called something like Karroo. Irritating that supposed journalists now say things such as “Director-Generals” when they mean “Directors-General” (Laura Kuenssberg did it the other day: “Secretary of States”, when she meant “Secretaries of State”).
As to the film itself, interesting without being very enlightening. The most interesting bare fact was that MI5 has doubled its staff numbers in the past decade.
Hunted
Saw Hunted, a TV show I quite like, which involves fugitives and a hunter force. Somewhat contrived, as it would have to be to work at all, but good entertainment.
One of the fugitives had to go to Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, where I myself, aged 20-something, was supposed to be met in the market square at 0900 hrs once, about 40 years ago. Misjudging the distance and how long it would take me to get there overnight from Central London (without a car), I was there far too early, by about 0300!
I was soon found in the deserted and cold square by the friendly local police patrolman, who strolled around on his beat talking to me and telling me all about the local crime situation (there was a little crime, surprisingly— someone had tried a smash-and-grab not very long before; a few weeks before; arrested). His inspector arrived at one point, examined my “papers” (as they say in some countries) and had an equally friendly chat with me for a while before saluting and going back, as I supposed, to his police station. My people did arrive, dead on time at 0900 hrs. Moral? Early is nearly as bad as late when it comes to rendezvous.
Tom Watson
A few words about Tom Watson, who stepped down as MP [Lab., West Bromwich East 2001-2019] before the 2019 General Election. He would either have been deselected or lost the seat at that election. A Conservative presently holds the seat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(Labour_politician).
Seems that his attempt at emulating the witchfinder-general over child sexual abuse and the subsequent (and to some extent consequent) wrongheaded witchhunt, may result in the bastard losing out on the well-paid sinecure of being a “Lord”.
My reason to dislike Watson? Not because of his “hunt the paedophile VIPs” nonsense, nor because he was an expenses freeloader (he claimed the maximum allowed every year for groceries, £5,000 p.a.). His constituents of course had no idea that MPs could even get food for free! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(Labour_politician)#Expenses
No, my main reason to dislike Watson is because he was a total doormat for the Jewish lobby (Zionist lobby, Israel lobby) in the UK.
Watson supported malicious Zionist snoop organizations like the Community Security Trust [CST], “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [CAA] and “antifa” trash such as “Hope Not Hate”.
Watson undermined Labour and Corbyn non-stop, and was a major reason why we are now lumbered with Boris-idiot posing as PM. Also, though of less importance, he actually referred to Mike Stuchbery [see above] as a “journalist” in the House of Commons, thus making a fool of himself. Watson wanted to squash Tommy Robinson, of course.
Now? Well, I expect that the Jews will find some sinecure for the bastard if his House of Lords expectations come to nothing.
End of a busy day on my blog. 415 different visitors and no less than 783 views. 32 different countries. Nearly two-thirds of the views today were of today’s Diary Blog, the rest many and various previous blog posts. Amazing what “the oxygen of publicity” can do…
After midnight music
Some interesting tweets seen
This is the brief, almost hallucinatory moment in 2018 in which BBC's @vicderbyshire calmly challenges the antisemitism crisis narrative. Her show's been axed, of course, and nothing like it has ever been allowed to happen again. https://t.co/ennU31fhy4
The creator of 'Hunters' admits he made up events to "address our urgent present". He's trying to rile up people in a violent frenzy to attack anyone who criticizes Jewish behavior. https://t.co/uVwKHUrpt9pic.twitter.com/CjX09Oxf35
The Greta Thunberg phenomenon (public relations effort) is based primarily on hate. It emanates like a carbon emission from Greta Nut herself. It oozes from the tweets of the mainly rather stupid people who support her (I mean those who do not have the excuse of extreme youth). Here’s one:
“Bitter and twisted old gammony fucks“…meaning white BRITISH people who are not under-30, who have seen this country’s decline over 40-60 years and hate both that decline and what it means in terms of socio-cultural collapse.
If you tweeted the equivalent about blacks, Pakistanis, Jews etc, you would have the police and a host of special interest groups on your tail.
Oh, so it’s OK for Greta Nut to travel around the world, spouting complete nonsense, because she is making “old people” have strokes, apparently. Well, when I myself am on Mount Parnassus or wherever, I hope that I can look down on that idiot being abused in old age by the even-worse idiots no doubt to come.
I thought that this one [below] was a —not very clever— parody, but it seems not! I think that the bastard is serious!
In fact, despite all the publicity, not very many people have turned out to see and hear the mentally-disturbed Swedish autistic: the muddy and rainswept scene below was photographed about the same time that Greta Nut was arriving in the city.
Greta Thunberg is a 17 year old mentally-disturbed Swedish autistic who has no official or other qualifications in any scientific or other discipline, and no background in anything (how could she, at her age?)…
“A bunch of boomers“, by which the idiot above (who is “trashing the planet” every bit as much as any “boomer”, by the way) means, in reality, “I’m not responsible for anything! It’s all the fault of those older people!” Hey, now of whom does that attitude remind me? Oh, I know…
“A vast crowd“? About 500 or so, seems, maybe 1,000, but Julian Druker of ITN 5 News (yes, that’s right, an msm journalist…), seems determined to call the audience “vast”.
The assessment (below) of today’s photo-opportunity seems sensible:
Any idea why #GretaThunberg doesn’t protest in China, the US or Russia which have v high levels of emissions? UK’s are vanishingly small in global terms. Feels like we’re the safe target.
BTW, Louise Raw knows perfectly well who I am, because she tweeted about me a few weeks ago, annoyed that I had pointed out that, in the UK, it has never been considered acceptable to use a doctorate as a title unless one is an academic, a scientist in an institute, a medical graduate, or one in holy orders (there may be one or two other minor exceptions).
A “witch”, a “doctor”, a “journalist”/”historian”, and a shared ideology of delusion…What a bunch!
Four-fifths of the population of Europe are asleep…
Great to see the Mayor of #Bristol welcoming #GretaThunberg & the #ClimateStrike. Young people are among those most vulnerable to illegal & harmful #airpollution. The urgent actions needed will help tackle both problems so hopefully we'll see bold proposals put forward soon… https://t.co/JzAifp1qjU
Well, the crowd has certainly grown. Hard to estimate, and the crowd looks more numerous because of all the placards and umbrellas, but certainly in the thousands. 5,000? 10,000? Having said that, they have come from all over the UK, and even Bristol has nearly 500,000 inhabitants, so the crowd is only about 1% of the Bristol city population, or 1 in every 14,000 of the UK population, roughly. Really, it is a photo-opportunity and TV news opportunity for (those behind) Greta Thunberg.
Government policies and their consequences
Tory economic policy creates misery: A study has linked a spike in mental-health problems among the unemployed with the rollout of universal credit and other government welfare changes. There is no sign of any govt policy change.https://t.co/hGqNHg6s2D
Profits B4 People: Evidence that leasehold homeowners unfairly treated & prospective buyers misled by developers, escalating ground rents, disproportionate fees for routine maintenance, false info about converting leasehold to freehold. Need reforms.https://t.co/GeT39Kg3Om
Persimmon's £40m boss quits just over a year after the £75m one. The company built shoddy houses, milked the Help to Buy scheme, made profit of £65,657 on every house sold, fat-cattery has been rife. It should be investigated, banned from public contracts.https://t.co/DfWxJgquQq
The NHS is in a mess for a number of reasons, but a social health service, not run as a profit-making entity, is an essential in any modern civilized society. The alternative is not good.
“Antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery, who labels himself “historian” and “journalist” as he travels around Germany as a kind of tourist, tweeted about me. That stimulated a far higher than normal throughput on my blog (with one hour to go, 1008 views in 2 days, so at least twice the usual number of views).
Looking at tweets about me arising from Stuchbery’s tweet, I find that only about a dozen (if that) were hostile, some neutral, a couple quite positive. Stuchbery may have done me a favour by tweeting about me. I should hate to have to be grateful to him!
Boris-idiot and Coronavirus
Saw a few minutes of Boris-idiot posing as Prime Minister tonight. Making a statement about this very serious situation of the Chinese Coronavirus. Scarcely able to stop himself smirking, obviously dying to clown or to tell a joke. Pitiful. The stupid bastard should not be where he is.
Midnight music
Update, 26 September 2020
Yet again, my predictions turn out as expected: Labour Party backstabber Tom Watson has indeed been found a sinecure (and a well-paid one, at an estimated £200,000 a year) as CEO of UK Music [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Music#History], a position formerly held by another doormat for the Jewish lobby (and, like Watson, a member of Labour Friends of Israel), Michael Dugher, the former MP for Barnsley East. Dugher in turn has been (((found))) a new position, even better-paid, as Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council.
“It was announced on 14 October 2022, that as part of the 2022 Special Honours, Watson would receive a life peerage.[101] On 21 November 2022, he was created Baron Watson of Wyre Forest, of Kidderminster in the County of Worcestershire.[102]“
The family concerned has had its home repossessed by the local council. Without going into the reasons and merits of that repossession (and without examining why the acquaintances of the 15-year-old son think that it is OK to make fun of his homelessness), one can see:
that the council in question is staffed by idiots;
the effect of mass immigration on services available to British people.
Firstly, the council. The council no longer runs the school but still owns the bungalow. It does not need that bungalow for a new school caretaker. Why could the family not be allowed to stay, paying extra rent or even market rent?
The council has laid out what must have been hundreds of thousands of pounds to alternately bring the action and then to defend the result in the higher courts. Is this money well spent? The council could even, for that money, have bought at least one such bungalow elsewhere and rented it to the family in question (or to someone else).
Immigration: we see that there is very little spare accommodation available to councils, even for emergencies. When a country imports literally millions(since 1997, perhaps 11 million) and those immigrants are breeding fast, this is what happens. Hertfordshire and Essex become, in their urban areas, Calcutta and Kingston. Don’t believe me? Visit, say, Ilford, Essex and doubt no more…
The “refugees welcome” dimwits and “multikultis” will say that all (“all”?!) that is required is for local councils, or central government, or Uncle Tom Cobbley, to house anyone requiring housing. Just like that. Manna from Heaven. Pie in the sky. If only life were that simple!
A sad story, and a tale of unnecessary suffering.
Mike Stuchbery’s case against Tommy Robinson
If anyone is following the legal proceedings of self-styled “historian”, “journalist” and antifa rear-echelon cheerleader Mike Stuchbery against Tommy Robinson, my blog post (updated every few days) can be found here:
So far, Stuchbery and his UK supporters have raised £11,594 from mug donors, but it is a mystery what has happened to that money. His one-man-band Pakistani solicitor (there may be a second solicitor involved) sent a “Letter before Action” to “Tommy Robinson” (sub nom Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) in November 2019. Since then, nothing. I have blogged (see above) repeatedly that I do not think that any action will be launched, or will be successful if launched.
Anyone wanting to read more about Stuchbery can do so here:
What a deadhead! It also shows that Lisa Nandy is yet another post-Blair political box-ticker, politically-correct agenda constantly at hand. She has, like others, obviously not thought this through.
Labour is a joke now. Boris-idiot is embedded in No.10 for at least 2 years and quite possibly nearly 4 years. Whatever Labour does in the next 2+ years is supremely irrelevant.
Even when I was at school in Sydney (1967-69), a Holden was a rara avis. I knew not one person who owned one. My family and their friends and wider circle owned Fords, VWs, Mercedes, even one Rolls-Royce, but no Holdens. Occasionally one would be seen on the road, but not often.
Sabisky
So when Dominic Cummings put out an advert for 'weirdos' to work in Number 10, it turns out he meant supporters of Eugenics. Deeply sinister. Andrew Sabisky should be nowhere near government. https://t.co/whzaPXsV5D
“…should be nowhere near government“…says a thick black barrister (practised for about 3 years in criminal law before becoming an MP at age 28, having also been in the USA for a year or so). Basically a black “racist” who believes in corporal punishment, supports the Jewish lobby (which is why he is often on TV and elsewhere in the msm), and thinks that white European people are the source of most of the evil in this world.
Thick? Yes. Don’t assume that a law degree, Bar qualification or whatever signifies high intellect or knowledge these days. Lammy even thought that reference to the colour of the smoke of the Sistine Chapel at a Papal conclave was “a silly racist joke”!
Lammy is also a liar, having said (to give but one example) that his mother raised him in conditions of poverty alleviated by Tax Credits, an easily-rebutted claim in view of the fact that tax credits of that sort were only introduced when Lammy was aged 31 (though there were other low-income credits before that, so in fairness it may just be that Lammy was not lying but just talking confused rubbish. He often does).
Lammy also claimed recently (on Twitter) that “[his] ancestors died fighting this shit”, by which he apparently meant white European civilization. What “ancestors”? What “shit”? If his ancestors died fighting anything, it was in African tribal wars, or maybe in riots on British streets (though that seems unlikely). Hard to know where else the ancestors of this African-race Guyanese might have “died fighting”. Perhaps Lammy will enlighten us.
Anyway, the good news is that Lammy, who actually managed to get promotion to junior minister under Blair/Brown (tokenism?), will probably never be “anywhere near government” himself now. By the time that Labour wins another general election, he will be at least 50 and quite possibly 150!
The scalded reaction of the msm, many System politicians and the Twittersphere indicates to me that Sabisky was at least on the right track overall, even if not in every detail.
This was almost literally “15 minutes of fame”…
Baddiel and “holocaust” “denial”
I see that the Jew TV face, David Baddiel, has done a show about so-called “holocaust” “denial”, i.e. about the modern-day heroes and heroines who examine this whole narrative sometimes termed “The Hoax of the Twentieth Century”, people who are treated as heretics and, in a few countries, actually prosecuted as modern heretics.
It is telling that Baddiel did not include these people (from a newspaper report, seems that maybe there was only one person) on his previous series, Heretics. That is because those people, including the nasty comedienne, Jo Brand, are not heretics, just nasty squalid people who, like Baddiel, get paid large amounts for being “edgy” in a fake way. Not real “heretics” by any means.
So there had to be a special show to trash a view of modern history that is claiming more adherents every day. I shall not be watching Baddiel’s show. I could almost predict its content, minute by minute, anyway. A waste of time.
It may well be that people adherent to Islam and/or Labour want to silence Katie Hopkins, but she is deluding herself if she cannot see that Jewish interests are behind the attacks on her. Sadly, she seems intent on trying to curry favour with the Jewish lobby, which will not work (even if she is part-Jew herself). They hate her. Still, that seems to be the path she has chosen…
The Master Race
I saw this tweet by ignorant rent-a-mouth James O’Brien:
I’ve never encountered a believer in a ‘master race’ who would come close to qualifying for membership.
The term “Master Race” is or can be misleading. It tends to conjure a picture of a latter-day Nietzschean “blond beast”, complete with equally Nietzschean whip, lashing the “inferior breeds” into submission and obedience.
In reality, what is or should be meant is that History or (to put it another way) the “evolution of consciousness” through Time, requires at any given moment an advanced element, which (though that advanced element may or may not have the keys to world power) “leads” that evolution simply by being the most advanced in terms of evolution.
There are also backward or laggard elements. We are talking about races, nations, groups, not necessarily about individuals within any of those races, nations or groups.
The leading racial/national/group element will tend to have more power than the rest, but that is by no means always so.
I have been hostile to “Boris” for many years, since he was (underwhelmingly) MP for Henley. Others have now caught up; the public has not— yet. I think that it has to happen before too long, though. The part-Jew public entertainer cannot fill the boots of a prime minister. Speaking of boots, an article now compares Boris-idiot to Caligula:
A Chinese enterprise “promises” to build HS2 in 5 years at relatively low cost (£100 BN instead of £120 BN or more? Original estimate was £62 BN…). At what environmental cost?
What does Boris Johnson, Boris-idiot, care? A part-Jew, part-Turk, part God-knows-what, born in New York City, brought up mainly in the USA and Brussels, whose stepmother is a very wealthy Jewess. What does he care about Britain and the people of Britain? He is only interested in money, at root. He is not a legitimate Prime Minister, and anything is justified to remove him.
Ireland
“People wanted to kick the government and Sinn Fein provided the shoe to do the kicking,” says Christy Parker, a journalist from the beautiful but de-industrialised town of Youghal in county Cork. He speaks of the “chasm” between the elite benefiting from Ireland’s impressive economic progress and the large part of the population that has been left behind.” [The Independent]
That was my impression too, though I have not been to Ireland since the mid-1980s (and before that, the late 1970s), and a lot of water has flowed since then.
In fact, that is one reason why the UK should develop a real social-national party, because it just might come about that the shopworn System parties will flag at the very moment when the British people will be desperate for something, anything…
Returning to Ireland, where does it go from here? Sinn Fein, which fought only a proportion of the seats in contest, nonetheless won a plurality of the popular vote: Sinn Fein 24.5% (37 seats), Fianna Fail 22.2% (38 seats), Fine Gael 20.9% (35 seats).
The Irish Parliament, the Dail, has 160 seats including the (non-voting) Ceann Comhairle (Speaker). 80 seats are required to form a coalition government; alternatively to create a “confidence and supply” arrangement less than a coalition.
In other words, one of the first three parties will have to join with one of the others (or both of the others) and/or smaller parties. Sinn Fein thinks that it can get by via an extended coalition with a number of smaller parties. Alternatively, the two main System parties together would only be 7 or 8 votes (the last Speaker was from Fianna Fail) short of a majority.
Emily Thornberry is out, thus leaving Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy as remaining contenders. At present, Keir Starmer looks like a shoo-in. I doubt that he would excite many voters, but it may be that in 2022 or 2024, after years of Boris-idiot as PM, that very dullness might even be a selling point…
Stop all farm subsidies. They are a major reason why farmers and landowners pay £10,000 an acre for agricultural (non-building) land. This system (despite some “stewardship” subsidies or grants) is anti-environment, overall, paying money merely for owning land, while the farmers carry on as free businessmen in most respects. Public money going to private pockets, deep pockets at that.
Adolf Hitler said that “the future of electricity generation lies in the winds and the waves” [see Hitler’s Table Talk]. All we have to do now is to reduce the aesthetic impact of wind farms and the impact they have on bird life.
I think that I score four points out of twenty. Five points if my return to the UK from Australia in 1969, aged 13, and aboard the old Oriana, is not labelled a “cruise”. I suppose not, though it had most of the same characteristics, so make that five points out of twenty.
Many will be familiar with the name of Mike Stuchbery, the “antifa” cheerleader who is said to have instigated a kind of “home invasion” at the house of Tommy Robinson’s wife (Stuchbery spins it differently) in 2019. Stuchbery then got a nasty shock when “Robinson” turned up at Stuchbery’s own house (both were located in the Luton area)
There has been water under bridges since then. “Robinson” has done (more) time in prison, while Stuchbery fled with his “German” wife to Stuttgart, where he now lives.
I have mocked Stuchbery’s constant claims to be a hard worker holding down (as he ludicrously pretends) “three jobs”, when it is obvious that he is what his detractors claim, a kind of grifter who relies mainly on donations from supporters, State assistance, and also a working wife (as I apprehend).
Not that there is anything wrong with those three methods of subsistence, an sich. It does grate a little, though, when Stuchbery makes his claims of being a grafter rather than a grifter. He seems to have plenty of time to travel around and, on weekday morns, stroll into Stuttgart for the odd melange and, as it might be, some Schwarzwaldtorte or Sachertorte (actually, the latter is my own favourite…).
I happened to be looking for the first time at the Byline Times, the online “newspaper” headed by the writer Peter Jukes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jukes]. This is one of Stuchbery’s “three jobs”, I believe. Well, last year (2019), he wrote, by my count, 19 fairly short pieces for Byline Times. So one article every 2-3 weeks. So far, in 2020, only one article. I cannot imagine that that pays much, if anything.
I believe that Stuchbery also takes tourists around Stuttgart and teaches some English as a foreign language.
Actually, Stuchbery reminds me of the conscientious objector, member of a religious cult, during WW2, who was asked how he intended to make his living if not in the armed forces. He replied, on the form provided, “God will provide. (wife working)“!
An underwhelming read, frankly. Britain has declined hugely since the 1980s, let alone early 1970s. Stuchbery has not the personal experience (he only arrived from Australia in 2014, though apparently he was born here), or historian’s —or journalistic— skills, to make much sense of trends and events.
Stuchbery thinks that copying bits out of books or tourist pamphlets makes him a “historian”, just as he thinks that scribbling for platforms such as Byline Times makes him a “journalist”. It’s risible. Look at my blog about him to see a few howlers that he has made.
I have had to explain at intervals that being opposed to “antifa” inciters and enemies of free speech like Stuchbery does not mean that I am in any way a supporter of Tommy Robinson.
At present, I am waiting, with great interest, for Stuchbery’s supposed and proposed legal case against Tommy Robinson (for which a crazed woman called Roanna “@antifashwitch” has raised about £11,000 via GoFundMe). I think that, like the Jewish Messiah and the “cheque in the post”, the lawsuit is unlikely to ever come to pass…
Katie Hopkins seems to have been, in effect, expelled from Twitter. When the Jews got me expelled, Twitter weaselled about it being a “suspension”. I knew at once that it was a permanent expulsion. I also guessed correctly that it was meaningless, much like Twitter itself.
I doubt that Katie Hopkins will be “allowed” back on Twitter. She may realize before long that it really does not matter, because Twitter is 99% a waste of time in terms of real political influence. In her case though, I suppose that her various social media platforms were monetized, so she might suffer in that way.
The right-on idiot “antifa” types and pseudo-socialist scribblers etc are all ecstatic at her removal from their beloved echo-chamber, as seen in the triumphalism of the Daily Mirror report, below:
Here [below] is a pretty typical idiot of that sort, cheering on the “right” of the owners or officials of a huge transnational enterprise to censor or “unperson” someone whose views they (and/or in this case some Jewess who helps out on on a UK game show, apparently) dislike:
Here again, quite typical tweets from some other idiot-“antifa” tweeters:
Social media has given a voice to bigots and racists but we can help to silence them. The right to freedom of speech does not include the right to impinge on the rights of others.
I suppose that I must reiterate my view about Katie Hopkins. I disliked her attitude and most of her views from the first time I saw her on TV, which was when she did a 5-minute op-ed piece on BBC Daily Politics about 8 or 9 years ago. Her target then was those on disability benefits, and her views echoed those of the government regime of David Cameron-Levita, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud, inter alia.
Over the years, Katie Hopkins became a kind of female British “shock jock”. Her views are mostly very different from mine. She says that she is pro-Jew, pro-Israel (I think that I read somewhere that she herself is part-Jew, but I may be mistaken), anti-Islam (I am with her there, up to a point), anti-Islamist (I agree with her there), anti-mass migration into Europe (I am certainly with her on that), but she is also pro-Conservative, anti-Welfare State, anti-renter/pro-landlord (that may have changed now that she herself has to rent a home) and generally “libertarian” (anathema to me).
So I do not approve of many of her political stances, but have no objection to her expressing them. Those who had her expelled from Twitter just want to close down free speech by making a spurious distinction between “free speech” and “hate speech”.
What they really want is simply to ban views of which they disapprove.
Who are “they”, in this context? Well, mainly the Jew-Zionist element, but also the idiot-“antifa” element. The funny thing is that the “antifa” element is mostly anti-Israel, but when it comes to Jewish-supremacist influence and power in the UK, USA, France etc, the “antifa” idiots line up behind the Jews! As the now long-deceased husband of a friend of mine once said “one Jew can lead a thousand Englishmen by the nose!” That is so so true, sadly…
Likewise, Katie Hopkins bent over backwards to tell the Jews and Israel how much she loves them. Did it help her? Not a jot.
The same is true of the “alt-right” wastes of space. They all say how much they love Israel etc. Idiots. Breitbart, “Prison Planet” Watson, Tommy Robinson etc. One word from a well-connected or embedded Jew and, bang, they’re gone. Just like Katie Hopkins.
The privatization of public space
I first spoke about this matter when I addressed the London Forum in early 2017. It was novel then; in fact, as far as I am aware, no-one then was raising the point that the citizen qua citizen has no legal right to post (or even to exist, online) on the private-enterprise Internet platforms such as Twitter, Facebook etc.
There is also the point (which I touched on briefly in my 2017 talk) that while, legally or in terms of strict economics, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, ebay, YouTube etc are not monopolies, in practical terms, in real terms, they are. Yes, you can leave Twitter and get on GAB, but Twitter has about 500 million users, while GAB has (?) about 500,000, if that.
I have seen my views about the issue becoming more mainstream over the past three years.
The “antifa” and pseudo-socialist elements are so empty, ideologically, that they start bleating about the supposed rights of capital and “private property”! They begin and end with the simplistic statement that “Twitter [or whatever] is a private [in fact, publicly-listed] company. It can do as it wishes. It has ‘terms and conditions’ and so can remove anyone it wants for breach of them.”
Here [below] a few examples of such pedestrian thinking:
Additionally she chose twitter as her platform, which is a private company with terms and conditions of use, which she breached on numerous occasions. It's appalling she lasted as long as she did.
Of course, it is clear what is behind the censorship:
…and the “me too” “antifa” and pseudo-socialist (even self-describing “liberal”) rabbits go along with it, because, after all, “only” “nazis” and/or “fascists” are being censored and silenced, nicht wahr?…
I have often wondered what those imposing censorship by online mob (or backstairs influence) think will be the situation once they have banned everyone of whom they disapprove. Few seem to be aware that “the revolution devours its own children”.
Already I see some of the very “antifa” loudmouths and conspirators (who want others expelled from Twitter, “de-platformed”, “un-platformed” etc), themselves kicked off their platforms. “@resistinghate”, the small but unpleasant group fronted by Roanna Carleton Taylor of Derbyshire (formerly “@witchofpeace”, now “@antifashwitch”) has just been removed by Twitter, to take but one example.
For years, a minor Jew academic called Ben Gidley, with other Zionist Jews, tried to get Twitter to remove my account. They succeeded in the end (in 2018), but Gidley’s own accounts “@inthesoupagain” and “@antinazisunited” were also eventually removed or rendered inactive (though his personal Twitter account remains, I think, as does another of his Zionist fake “socialist” accounts, “@BobFromBrockley”).
Perhaps I should end with a quotation from John F. Kennedy:
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.“
Update, 16 February 2020
I was wrong— after a week, Twitter “allowed” Katie Hopkins to resume tweeting…for now, on sufferance, like a person given a suspended sentence. Allowed her back on, so long as the Jewish lobby and the pseudo-socialists, and the pseudo-“human rights” pack do not convince some little person at a Twitter desk that she should not be removed again.
You see the issue: she has no right qua citizen to tweet, only the —effectively, no— rights available in contract to her as a party to a contract with Twitter. The laws of the UK, USA etc must eventually change to take account of the rights of a citizen qua citizen in contract with a quasi-monopoly.
The lady herself must know that she is on thin ice:
Sadly, Katie Hopkins is still tweeting pro-Israel, pro-Jew lobby stuff. She is simply unwilling to understand the realities of both her own and the general situation…
Such is life…
Update, 9 October 2020
Well, turn and turn about! Seems that I was right after all about Katie Hopkins: her Twitter account was later “suspended” for a second time, and this time permanently (just as mine was in 2018).
I sometimes think, in the manner of a latter-day G.K. Chesterton, that Twitter is a gigantic conspiracy to gather up all those interested in either commenting on society or changing it, then allowing the human atoms to bounce harmlessly off each other within the “echo-chamber”, never affecting anything seriously in the real world…
Update, 13 November 2020
Well, Katie Hopkins never did get back on Twitter, but (tellingly) the “Resisting Hate” group of idiot-“antifa” trolls under Roanna Carleton Taylor did return to Twitter. I suppose that they will be there so long as they are “useful” idiots…
Update, 14 July 2021
Well, Katie Hopkins never was allowed back onto Twitter, and “Resisting Hate” has also apparently been binned. Roanna, “Witch of Peace” and “@antifashwitch” has now become “@oilpaintwitch” and is not tweeting much about politics. I have no idea why (as I have seen alleged) the police suddenly took more interest in her weird activities of all kinds. There are a number of possibilities.
I never did discover what happened to the £11,000+ donated via the GoFundMe platform by about 700 mugs so that “antifa” cheerleader and petty online denouncer Mike Stuchbery could “sue Tommy Robinson”. Stuchbery’s Pakistani “legal team” (1-2 Pakistanis) seem, so far, to have drafted one “letter before action”, but that was about 2 years ago).
I do not say, necessarily, that Stuchbery and/or Roanna Carleton-Taylor simply “kept” the money, but if not, what happened to it? Perhaps we shall never know. Oh, by the way, Stuchbery has just this week been tweeting from Greece, where he is apparently residing in a villa while he enjoys the Greek food, drink, and weather for a few weeks…Not bad for someone who seems to be without gainful employment (though he sometimes ludicrously claims to “work three jobs”).
Elon Musk bought Twitter, sacked most of the “wokerati” that worked there, and allowed back most of those expelled in the preceding decade or so, Katie Hopkins being one. I myself decided not to seek readmittance.
When I first read the Private Eye piece below, I included it in a blog article under the subtitle (taken from Schiller) “Against stupidity, the Gods themselves struggle in vain”. It is worth clicking on it to read the whole short article.
I understand that Corbyn’s advisers (perhaps other than Milne, if Private Eye is right) thought that the best strategy would be to wait it out, tough it out, take all the slings and arrows of being called “cowardly”, “scared of the electorate” etc, and refuse to be drawn into an election battle which Labour would be unlikely to win. As that Private Eye article says, both Corbyn and LibDem leader Jo Swinson were convinced that they would do well in any snap election.
The fact is that Boris-idiot could not have called an election without at least the Labour Party MPs voting for it. The few LibDems were of course a mere add-on. Had Labour not gone along with the Conservative Party demand, Boris-idiot’s government would have limped along for a while, powerless, hopeless, until the Conservative MPs forced Johnson out and replaced him, probably some time in 2020.
Corbyn’s decision to submit his party to an electorate very unfavourable to him and Labour was one of the stand-out political mistakes of the past half-century. I imagine that future students of Politics in universities will spend much time on the 2019 General Election.
The same was of course true of Jo Swinson, but in her case the effect was minimal (except to her personally, as her own constituency chucked her out). The LibDems lost, on paper, nearly a dozen MPs, but most were recent defectors from other parties. The LibDems did decline from the 2017 position, but few expected them to do really well anyway.
Brexit Party? Farage’s absurd decision to stand down his candidates in Conservative-held seats was another huge error, in addition to which he stabbed his own candidates and members in the back. Madness, and very dishonest.
It might have been different for both Labour and LibDems even so, had Farage not done what he did. The Brexit Party was floundering in the opinion polls anyway, but would probably have done well enough to get a few thousand votes in most seats, thus gifting both Labour and the LibDems seats, Labour in the North (mainly) and the LibDems in the South (mainly). The Conservatives might have ended up with dozens fewer seats, Labour and LibDems with an equal amount (together). That might have resulted in the Conservatives either having a small majority (under 10) or no majority.
The net result now, however, is that, without having really “won” the election (the Conservative vote having increased by only one point over that of 2017), the Conservatives have the power to impose finance-capitalist dystopia on the UK.
We read that Ayn Rand devotee and pro-Israel Pakistani nut and Muslim apostate Sajid Javid has written to all departments of government demanding a 5%+ reduction in spending plans. So much for “an end to austerity”. Yet Javid is apparently going to back the disastrous and pointless HS2 vanity project, with its huge costs and equally huge environmental damage.
Labour now tries to find a new leader, one who will magically win back those white English and Welsh and even Scottish former Labour voters who have voted with their feet either in not voting at all, or voting somehow other than for Labour. A monumental task. The white British people have been betrayed time and again by Labour:
mass immigration, which during Blair’s government was deliberately allowed to swamp the UK with millions of immigrants, often non-European (blacks, browns, Roma gypsies etc). The Jewish ministers Barbara Roche and Phil Woolas (both now chucked out of Parliament) were leading conspirators in that, but the buck stops, in the end, with the Prime Ministers in question, and their Party, Labour (not that the Conservatives are any better in practice);
child abuse of white English children by (mainly) Pakistanis. A blind eye turned to that suffering by Labour MPs, councillors, and Common Purpose-infected police and social workers;
Labour becoming “Conservative-lite”, especially under Blair and Brown. Crumbs from the table thrown to the masses, but in reality the rich getting richer and the poor either standing still or getting poorer; also, the anti-social security campaigns that started under Blair, then intensified under Brown (and also Alastair Darling, who has never been punished for his role) before reaching levels of dystopian madness under Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and others of the misnamed “Conservative” Party;
the collapse of any effective police service except in respect of the most serious offences; also, the politicization of the police and the manipulation of the police and CPS by the Jewish-Zionist element; the attempts to police thought and opinion online and elsewhere, eg via the Communications Act 2003; Corbyn defending Irish tinker “traveller” riff-raff even during the 2019 election campaign! What an idiot!
deadhead MPs (many but certainly not all of whom are blacks): Diane Abbott, Fiona Onasanya (now removed), Kate Osamor, Dawn Butler, Jess Phillips. Some have difficulty stringing a sentence together on paper, or even orally.
I do not see much future for Labour as it now is. Any attempt to move Labour to some ill-defined “centre” must be doomed to failure in that Brown lost, Miliband lost, and in fact had Blair been there in 2010, he too would have lost.
Having said all that, statistics show that the Conservatives are only favoured by those over 50, and particularly by those over retirement age. That being so, the field is more open than seems to be the case superficially.
For me, it is clear that what the bulk of the British people really want is an intelligent and effective social nationalism. That wish, however, is subconscious for the vast majority. If a party or movement could emerge of such a character, and if it could survive and thrive, then anything would then be possible and we could really set to.
Katie Hopkins
The “Twittersphere” is agog with the news that Katie Hopkins has had her account suspended. The Twitterati are ecstatic…
Now I am not on the same ideological page as Katie Hopkins, who is pro-Jew, pro-Israel and also pro the kind of “Conservatism” that I despise (finance-capitalist, Ayn Rand “libertarian” etc), but I have no wish to take away her freedom to express opinion. The pseudo-socialist Twitterati are not so liberal. They love it that a huge transnational enterprise can simply take away someone’s free speech (so long as the victim is not on their side of the argument…). What silly little people they are!
The ironies of the Katie Hopkins suspension are several, but one is that Katie Hopkins is usually so eager to support Israel and Jewry, yet the prime mover in the suspension seems to have been Rachel Riley, the Jewish TV presenter or whatever, with the Twitter Zionist claque right behind her.
Twitter has expelled most dissenting voices (including me, in 2018), and so is left with three or four types of tweeter (some may fall into two or even three groups):
the —more or less— System tweeters;
the Jewish-Zionist element;
the pseudo-socialist and/or “anti-fascist” element;
the “moronic masses”, interested in sports, pop music, supposed “celebrities” etc.
The extent to which UK Twitter is out of touch could be seen during the 2019 General Election campaign; Twitter was mostly pro-Labour or LibDem, except that the Jews were attacking Corbyn and Labour generally. Twitter loves “refugees” and indeed all immigrants. Twitter knows who obscure American sports persons are. Twitter mostly believes the official “holocaust” farrago.
As noted above, the ideological emptiness of the pseudo-socialist and/or “anti-fascist” tweeters is shown up rather well when they defend the ability of huge capitalist enterprises (the owners of such or the little employees of such) to shut down the free speech of someone they, the Twitterati, dislike. They’re idiots.
Here is one example:
Looks like Katie Hopkins has been temporarily suspended. One step forward in getting rid of one of the worst hate actors on Twitter. https://t.co/iAw7DD7R6f
I wonder whether those applauding ever-deeper censorship and repression in the UK, Germany, France, USA etc ever think about what might result if all previously-legitimate forms of socio-political expression and/or dissent are taken away?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” [John F. Kennedy]
Cognitive dissonance in ideology
The more “socialist” types on Twitter and beyond tend to suffer from the same ideological dissonance as, say, Corbyn, John McDonnell etc. They oppose Zionism and Zionists in and around Israel/Palestine, yet do not oppose the forces of Zionism where they are far more powerful (in most respects), meaning in the UK, USA, France etc! It is pointless getting worked up on behalf of the poor old Palestinians and their exploitation by Zionist Jews, if you ignore similar exploitation happening in your own backyard! Here (below) is one poor sap who evidently has not yet made the connection:
Now we see what NWO/ZOG means on the ground. French dissidents being brutalized on the streets, civil rights being cut back too, while anyone saying anything about the Jews or the “holocaust” farrago is being prosecuted. What a co-incidence…
So Harry has flown off to Vancouver, to be the modern Vronsky. I wonder whether he understands that, without the royal and other titles (not to mention the £30M he apparently has inherited from his mother and/or been given by his father) he would be a complete nullity. In his own person, he is of no interest: a former young and high-spirited officer of insufficient intellect and talent to be promoted beyond major.
Has this whole episode damaged the UK Royal Family? Well, it has not improved its image…the danger that the royals face is neither outright “revolutionary” hostility nor even a republican surge, but simple indifference as they become irrelevant to the people. The antics of Harry and for that matter Andrew do spike actual hostility, but it is indifference that kills the relationship between ruled and (nominal) rulers.
“Lie-detectors” and terrorists
This sounds like a pretty silly idea to me. So a “terrorist” (let’s just take that as given) is in prison. He is eventually released and as part of a “monitoring process” is subjected to polygraph testing. Such “lie-detectors” can be beaten. Whatever some Americans say (and the USA is the only country where they are routinely used) this is not a reliable way of assessing veracity:
Also, what will happen if a “terrorist” is released from a prison sentence, shows no other indication of further similar offending, but fails the polygraph test? Will he be incarcerated again simply on that basis, because he failed the test? It seems unsafe and likely to damage the image of “British Justice”.
Mike Stuchbery
Readers may have seen my earlier blogging about Mike Stuchbery, “antifa” inciter, self-described “journalist”, “historian” and tour guide, who tweets now from Stuttgart cafes about how “Nazis” (social nationalists, conservative nationalists and others of whom he disapproves) should be violently attacked (by others).
Leaving aside the rights and wrongs (and I think that Stuchbery was the author of his own fate), his legal action against “Robinson”, to my mind, has little or no chance of success (see above articles).
The GoFundMe launched by Stuchbery’s UK colleague or fellow “antifa” idiot, one “Roanna” (aka, on Twitter, the “Witch of Peace”), failed in November/December 2019 even to get to the halfway point of the original £20,000 target, at which point that failure was spun to a narrative that Stuchbery’s wife (supposedly or notionally German) would be joining him as claimant (what was once known as “plaintiff”). The GoFundMe has restarted, but has run into the sand. I suppose that there are only so many mugs around…
I notice that, as of today, the fund stands at £11,514. In the past few days, a grand total of £50 has been donated. In the past 24 hours? Nothing. I cannot say whether this funding appeal and the proposed legal action are just a scam (perhaps not entirely) but I am sure that the proposed lawsuit will either never get off the ground or will be prevented from continuing, if ever started, by the lack of money for Security for Costs (see my main blog articles).
above: Stuchbery having a meltdown when “Tommy Robinson” apparently turned up at his, Stuchbery’s, then house at Luton, UK, following Stuchbery’s (and others’) attempt to send peculiar people to Robinson’s wife’s house (also at Luton).
Not much sign of the “antifa” “warrior” who urged people to “keep punching Nazis. Never stop.” or the Stuchbery who recommended that “they should bus in some German antifa; they really know how to crack skulls“…and who, even in the past week, has tweeted that anyone questioning the absurd “holocaust” farrago should be “decked and laid out“.
Stuchbery has also been tweeting in commendation of some little “hoes” who, in 1940-41 Holland, pretended to like young German soldiers in bars, then lured them to quiet places where gangs of terrorists (often Jews) could murder them. The Provisional IRA tried that tactic in early 1970s Belfast, and a few British soldiers were killed but the public reaction (even on the Republican side) was so negative that the Provos dropped the idea (also, the British started to infiltrate plainclothes military intelligence and special forces soldiers into pubs and bars, as a precaution).
Now look again at the pathetic creature above, crying his eyes out. “What goes around comes around” [American saying].
On a side issue, Stuchbery’s appeal does show the limitations of Twitter slacktivism. Here we have Stuchbery with his nearly 88,000 Twitter followers. I am prepared to accept, in his case, that they are all genuine, unlike those of, say, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, the Jew-Zionist legal scammer, who in 2010 had about 8,000 followers but then bought about 70,000 “followers” back around 2013 (he still claims about 27,000).
If Twitter followers meant much, you might expect at least 4,000 of Stuchbery’s 88,000 Twitter followers to give £5 each (the minimum amount) to his GoFundMe, thus reaching his £20,000 target sum effortlessly. In reality, only about 700 have donated. Slacktivism. Clicktivism.
Labour leadership
Loudmouth idiot Jess Phillips has had to pull out of the contest to avoid total humiliation. Good riddance.
I hesitate to say that Britain is a land of cretins, because I have lived in a number of other countries. Even so…
More thoughts about Harry
Harry and the mulatta have enough money to live rather luxuriously indefinitely. What Harry does not have is a role, even that of “businessman”. He has no profession save that of arms, and in any case does not need an income. He needs a reason to exist. His intellectual life is no doubt limited, so he needs a “job” of some kind to replace the “royal prince” one.
Well, nearly midnight UK time, so maybe time to say goodnight to my blog readers
A nice story, but also one which highlights how living creatures are treated as disposable commodities in our society.
Another point is that, in times of distress or trouble, these creatures will be very useful to humans on the micro-level. A basic thing for prepping.
The DEFRA regulations (applicable in the UK) are that anyone can keep up to 50 chickens without having to register the flock and then maybe have to comply with various regulations. Some countries are more restrictive if the area is deemed “residential” (eg Australia allows only 6 chickens per “residential area” property).
Chickens are a useful food source (meaning that they supply eggs). I understand that a hen foraging for itself will lay about one egg every day or two, so an average-size family could get more than enough eggs from fewer than a dozen hens.
A useful fact to know is that it is not necessary to feed chickens commercially-sold chickenfeed such as corn (maize), millet or other grain. A small number of chickens can forage for themselves in a fairly small area. They also like boiled leftover human food such as potato, carrot etc, especially if mashed.
nb. Feeding “catering waste” to chickens is now banned in the UK, but that does not apply to household leftovers fed to the household’s own birds not for sale to the public.
Out in Indiaahhh…
What terrifies me about evil in this world is that at this moment it is much more organized than the forces of good.
This is the RSS marching in India today. They are paramilitary Hindu Nationalist extremists.
This appears to be a combination of the already allocated Flexible Homelessness Support Grant (£200m – in place annually since 2017) and the already allocated Homelessness Reduction Grant (£63m – introduced Feb 2018).
When I first went to Kazakhstan in 1996, the runway of the airport at Almaty (former Alma-Ata, the capital city at the time) was very short. Before landing, the pilot advised all passengers to adopt the crash position (head between or towards knees, and arms braced on seat in front), though he was good enough to explain why, and that we were not actually about to crash. The landing itself was rather sudden, with much braking and swerving and engine noise.
That was then. Since then, Almaty airport burned down, was rebuilt, the main runway increased in length (I believe); also, the capital was moved to Astana, which has now been renamed Nur-Sultan (the first name of the President, Nazarbaev, who was even in office when I lived in Almaty, 22-23 years ago!). Nur-Sultan has a harsher climate than Almaty. It is the second-coldest capital in the world in winter, with a record low of nearly -55C.
Something else just noticed
Horrible creatures of evil crowing because “their” manipulations lost Labour the election (or made any —arguably— inevitable loss much worse):
Below, a good example of that which the (ironically, a Jew) inventor of the fraudulent “psycho-analysis” claptrap (a pseudo-science), Sigmund Freud, called “transference”:
…but not the panellists or audience. No, that degenerate pack of “me too” rabbits were all laughing and clapping at the harridan’s “anecdote”. For them it was funny. In ancient Rome, torture of animals and people in the arena was funny.
In our unfree country, I am not allowed to publish what I think should be done to all those in that studio, laughing at the economic and psychic exploitation of the employee in question. You, my readers, will have to imagine what I think should happen.
What I can say is that the UK needs a real and deep cultural purge, starting with the “celebrities”, the TV “comedians”, the whole radio, TV and print mafia.
Here’s another example of why Britain needs a cultural purge, in fact a cultural revolution:
Remember when teen magazines just had free lip gloss and pictures of boy bands everyone liked and now it's a bunch of creepy dudes grooming 13 year olds to think they should be doing anal https://t.co/461g336BLs
In fact, that magazine, Teen Vogue, has in the past printed material supporting mentally-disturbed “antifa” bastard and violence-inciter Mike Stuchbery, who was quite falsely puffed in the magazine as an “historian”…I wonder what sort of (((people))) run Teen Vogue? I think that we can guess: “them”.
While the fox-hunt is a colourful spectacle, redolent of Old England, Trollope, Surtees, Galsworthy, Evelyn Waugh etc, it is now morally and socially indefensible.
If the hunts are unwilling to move to pure draghunting, they must be closed down forever.

“Manchurian Candidates”
My son, who is a Marine told he cannot go anywhere on base with TV that is not playing Fox News. He said they are not allowed to change the channel.
He went on about how everyone around him seemed completely brainwashed washed.
I have often mused, in the past decade or so especially, about how and especially why the UK population seems so supine.
Cut real pay back hugely? No reaction.
Destroy the Welfare State bit by bit? No great interest or resistance.
Make people work unpaid hours, whole days, be “on call” evenings and weekends? People just accept it (and I don’t mean just doctors, emergency personnel etc. People who work for undistinguished colleges, office bods really, etc…).
Close down 300+ courts, many hundreds of police stations, 500+ public libraries? Not worth resisting, it seems.
No free speech? No-one interested.
Continuing invasion of the UK by black/brown (etc) hordes (13 million in 22 years)? Not of much interest to the majority, despite the fact that pay, benefits, housing, transport, public security etc are all negatively affected, and hugely so.
I have decided now to blog separately about the legal dispute which he has with the political activist known as Tommy Robinson.
This blog post will be updated as required.
I start by posting about the legal dispute itself, which was at the end of the other posted article.
Update, 23 November 2019
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, and if the court agrees with the application, but if Stuchbery cannot then 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, certainly “stayed” (put on ice), 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?):
BREAKING: Twitter suspends journalist Andy Ngo – The Post Millennial https://www.thepostmillennial.com/breaking-twitter-suspends-journalist-andy-ngo/ …
Almost everyone and everything in my life has let me down this year. I’ve been as understanding as I can, but I’m pushed beyond my limit. I’ll be okay, but I need to disappear.
It wasn’t the Far Right trolls who got me to this point. I’d never give them the satisfaction.
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!
Mike Stuchbery
✔@MikeStuchbery_
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 are laid down 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.
As a purely civil matter, which this proposed legal action is, it will be heard in the County Court, in all probability; there seems to be no obvious reason to trouble the High Court, if harassment is to be the only head of action.
The judge can in principle 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 well 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, i.e. 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.
Update, 28 November 2019
A few thoughts…
A “Letter before Action”, of course, does not constitute anything more than the legal equivalent of the naval “shot across the bows”. The “Pre-Action Protocols” contained in or annexed to the Civil Procedure Rules have to be sent to the defendant or his solicitors before any action is commenced (failure to comply with the Protocols —the CPR ones, that is, not the Protocols of Zion!— will usually have costs consequences).
When Stuchbery’s solicitors supply Robinson or his solicitors with initial or formal particulars of the claim, there will be material for the latter to work on.
I know of this matter only what I have read, mainly via Twitter. Even so, I can see that this case might require a number of witnesses (initial guess would be at least half a dozen and maybe quite a few more). Each extra witness means more expense for the parties, not least because the witness has to be examined, cross-examined, possibly re-examined, which all take time. Then there is the pre-hearing paperwork, witness statements etc. It all takes money.
As of 1024 this morning, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe amounted to £8,496. Not bad, considering that almost all has been made up from small donations of £5 or £10 apiece. All gathered in in less than a week. However, this morning, so far, only two lots of £5 have been donated. I think that there is a definite slowing of giving. The first few thousand pounds were donated in the first day. Stuchbery still has a steep hill to climb to get to the set target (£20,000) and a steeper one yet to reach the point (imo, at least £40,000) where the action will be allowed to proceed if Robinson applies successfully for Security for Costs.
Later..
In the morning, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe stood at a few pounds under £8,500. I am now writing just before 1830 and the total now shows at £8,635. An increase of only £135. In fact the past 24 hours shows an increase of only (just under) £300.
At this rate, it will take until mid-January to reach the target sum (which, as I have blogged, is probably a half or less of what might be required if Stuchbery’s legal claim against Tommy Robinson is going to proceed to trial).
I may be wrong, but sense that the donations are drying up and may soon reduce to £100 a day or even £50…
Later yet (2300 hrs)..
The Stuchbery GoFundMe is at £8,765. About £300 today. As I said before, it is impressive, in a way, that so many people have donated. Seems that many dislike Tommy Robinson so much that they are willing to give £5 or £10 (a few give £20+, and I saw one donation of £250) to have him sued. I doubt that many are donating to help Stuchbery, as such; this is more a “hit Tommy Robinson” thing (imo).
At a rate of 300 a day, nothing will happen until mid/late January. In fact, I expect donations to continue to decline, to £200 a day, then £100, then…you get the idea. This may go on, without a case starting, for months (if one gets going at all).
Update, 29 November 2019
The Stuchbery GoFundMe appeal now stands (at nearly 1130 today) at £8,905. In the 11 hours since midnight, £150 has been donated. It is clear that the appeal is running into the sand now. Most of those who wanted to donate to hit Tommy Robinson have probably now donated.
It becomes fairly obvious that this appeal will probably not be able to hit its target figure, unless some heavy-duty backers can be found. That almost certainly means that the legal action against Tommy Robinson will not proceed, even in the unlikely event that solicitors and Counsel offer their services for free (it sticks in the craw to refer to that being “pro bono”, in this case…). Robinson will no doubt apply for Security for Costs if proceedings are issued (I doubt that they will be), and Stuchbery has no way of finding that level of funding, as far as I can see anyway.
Eve Solicitors
As I suspected, Stuchbery’s solicitors, Eve Solicitors, is only one solicitor. It’s a one man band, according to the Law Society website:
Perhaps the other solicitor, one Mohammed Akhtar, who signed the Letter before Action to Tommy Robinson, has not been notified to the Law Society (or put on its website) for some reason.
Update, 1 December 2019
I am writing just after midday on Sunday, 1 December 2019. As of time and date of writing, the Stuchbery fund totals £9,587. Not bad, and in only 10 days. However, in the past 24 hours only £157 has been donated.
Whether you say that the Stuchbery appeal has “run into the sand” or “has run out of steam” is immaterial. Whatever metaphor is employed, the reality is the same: this legal action is unlikely to be launched, to be able to be sustained, or to have success.
Nearly 2300 hrs: the fund stands at £9,757. In the past 23 hours, £285 has been donated. A reasonable sum, but only a fraction of what came in over previous days. Stuchbery and his backers are still not, after 10 days or so, even halfway to their own set target amount. At this rate, it will take them until some time in mid-January 2020 to get to £20,000 (and that is assuming that donations continue to come in).
Update, 2 December 2019
1300 hrs: Stuchbery’s fund is still a couple of hundred pounds under the £10,000 halfway mark. £9,802. Only £20 has been donated since last night. At this rate it will take him and his backers until this time next year to get to their target. Stuchbery’s manic tweets about how Robinson must be begging to “be taken to the cleaners” is indicative both of his disordered mental state and his ignorance of English law and legal procedure (as well as his obvious wish to make money out of the whole thing).
I saw this tweet thread, ending in a comment by Stuchbery which made me laugh out loud! Talk about lack of self-awareness! Stuchbery should look in the mirror!
Apart from Stuchbery’s own tweet, an earlier one by “BikerGuy/Andy King” was amusing; it seemed to say that Stuchbery is suing Tommy Robinson in defamation. No. So far, only for harassment, looking at Stuchbery’s solicitors’ Letter before Action. If extra heads of claim are added, they will be covered, presumably, in the documentation pursuant to the CPR Pre-Action Protocols. In that event, it may be that the action will be High Court and not County Court. We bystanders must just wait with interest to see.
Perhaps I should repeat my statement of earlier date and in another blog: I am not a “supporter” of Tommy Robinson. He is one of a whole crowd of pro-Jew, pro-Israel persons and organizations who are simply anti-mass immigration and Islamization. I go along with them on that, but only on that. Tommy Robinson, EDL, Britain First, For Britain, “Prison Planet” Watson, the various other “alt-Right” wastes of space, Breitbart, UKIP, Brexit Party, Katie Hopkins etc. All wastes of space and all trying to make money out of fake nationalism.
However, Stuchbery and his laughable “antifa” comrades (mainly, like those named above, just catspaws for the Jewish lobby, and mostly too thick even to realize it) want to destroy European race and culture. I oppose that even more…
1800 hrs: Just checked Stuchbery’s fund. £9,812. £10 was donated in the afternoon, and in the past 24 hours, a total of £75.
I was right: this “donate to sue Tommy Robinson” appeal is running out of steam quite rapidly now.
2235: The organization or group, “Resisting Hate”, connecting Stuchbery and his fundraising woman, one Roanna Carleton-Taylor, has put out a statement on Twitter:
My own take on this, from a detached distance, is that the fundraiser (which was supposed to be for £20,000 to fund Stuchbery’s case alone against Tommy Robinson) has not achieved full success, having raised not even the £10,000 mentioned in the tweets above, but rather less— £9,822). Donations have flagged and in the past 24 hours have amounted to only £65.
My speculation is that Stuchbery’s backers have seen that their fundraiser is not going to succeed on its original basis and so have decided to put a nice spin on it by claiming that they only “really” wanted to raise £10,000 (not £20,000), which they have almost done, and then will be tapping the aforesaid mugs for another £10K in the New Year.
Now, the mugs who have donated are being told that Stuchbery’s “legal team” (Eve Solicitors of Bradford, comprising only one or maybe two solicitors, who both appear from their names to be Pakistani Muslims), have agreed to represent both Stuchbery and his German wife for £20,000! £10,000 apiece, we are told.
Obviously, I am commenting as an uninvolved observer, not knowing any more about all of this than is publicly available or in the public domain, but readers of my blog, and in particular this article, will be aware that I think that Tommy Robinson will be sure to ask the Court for “Security for Costs”, which will run (imo) into tens of thousands of pounds. Even assuming that the claim is run as a joint claim, it will still cost at least £20,000 to launch and run, and another £20,000+ for Security for Costs.
Stuchbery’s backers are claiming, as shown in the tweets above, that they are now going to wait until January 2020 before they even start to fundraise for Frau Stuchbery. Assuming that they can raise another £10,000+, that means that any case against Tommy Robinson will not start, if it ever does, until maybe March or April 2020…
Who will actually speak for Stuchbery and/or his wife in Court? For what kind of brief fee? We do not know. Most solicitors have only limited rights of audience. What kind of barrister will appear for very little? If I say what I am thinking, I shall probably be called “racist” or something…
What will happen to any unspent portion of the nearly £10,000 already raised if a case is never fully launched? Will Stuchbery take it, will “Resisting Hate” and/or “Roanna, Witch of Peace” take it, will the solicitors mentioned take it? I doubt that any of the donors (mugs) will get their money back.
I am not really a popcorn lover, but all the same will await events with interest…
ps. at 1530 hrs, the fund total is unchanged, and I notice that only one mug has donated in the past 24 hours (£10). Nonetheless, Stuchbery has left the fund up, or anyway kept it pinned to his Twitter timeline. Old habits die hard…
Update, 4 December 2019
Well, while “Roanna, Witch of Peace” has unpinned the Stuchbery GoFundMe appeal from her Twitter timeline, Stuchbery himself has just left it up as Pinned Tweet on his timeline. I suppose that he thinks “well, so what if mugs only donate a few pounds a day, it’s still worth having“…
…and in fact the appeal is still open for donations. In the past 24 hours to 1800 hrs today, another £20 was donated.
Update, 5 December 2019
Stuchbery’s GoFundMe is still up, still receiving donations. A couple of mugs have given a total of £15 in the past 24 hours.
Update, 6 December 2019
Just looked at Stuchbery’s GoFundMe. In the last 24 hours, more than I expected: £122, but that consists of one donation of £5, one of £17, and one of…£100.
The odd thing is that the £100 donation is from one “Mo Akhtar”. Surely that would not be the same Mohammed Akhtar who, as “Mohammed Akhtar, Solicitor” signed off on the Letter before Action sent by “Eve Solicitors” to Tommy Robinson? If so, it suggests a strange circularity!
Is the idea to “prime the pump”, in the hope that a few gullible mugs will donate a few more small amounts to get over the line? Only £16 to go. Then Stuchbery, “Roanna, Witch of Peace” and “Resisting Hate” can claim that “£10,000 was raised” as they claim “in a week” (er, no, it was started on 21 November, so already over two weeks).
Very odd.
Update, 7 December 2019
For the first day or so since the GoFundMe started on 21 November, not even one mug has donated. In fact, there have been no donations in the past 24 hours. Indeed, if you take away the (suspicious?) donation from one “Mo Akhtar” [see the update from 6 December, above] there have been no donations for nearly three days.
I do wonder what exactly is going to happen to the £9,984 raised. The monies will, after GoFundMe takes its cut, be paid to the Organizer, said to be “Roanna Carleton-Taylor”, aka “Roanna, Witch of Peace”, who tweets under the label “@witchofpeace”.
As I have blogged before, will there really be a legal claim against Tommy Robinson? The “Witch of Peace” and her organization, “Resisting Hate”, claim that the “£10,000” raised will now be supplemented by the proceeds of yet another GoFundMe appeal in January 2020, at which time (or sometime thereafter), Stuchbery’s wife (apparently a German citizen and living with him in Germany) will become a second legal claimant against Tommy Robinson. Perhaps.
I have said what I have said [see above blog]. I cannot see this proposed legal claim either proceeding or succeeding. The GoFundMe ran out of steam before even half of the £20,000 asked for was raised. The idea that a second GoFundMe will raise another £9,000 or £10,000 is very doubtful. I may be wrong, but I think not. How many mugs can there be? Beyond that, as my full blog, above, says, the chance of a legal claim against Tommy Robinson continuing past the stage of his (likely) request for Security for Costs is a very long shot.
I notice that “Resisting Hate” has 1,976 Twitter followers (and follows 1,282!). The “Witch of Peace” has 3,596 (following 2,951!). When the Jews procured my expulsion from Twitter, I had c.3,000 and I was only following about 50 people and organizations, if I recall aright.
In the meantime, looking at Stuchbery’s recent tweets, he has joined what sounds like a good gym, where they have a sauna etc. I once belonged to a similar place in London (the then Barbican Health Club, now owned by one of the Branson companies), very plush and not inexpensive (even in 1994, several hundred pounds to join, then about £50 a month). And that was 25 years ago.
In fact, I just looked and, though it is maybe cheaper now relative to general inflation since 1996, most memberships are all the same nearly £100 a month (but they have binned the joining fee).
Seems that Stuchbery manages to belong to his gym, travel around visiting other cities etc, despite not having a f/t job (he claims to have three p/t ones; I wonder). He should write a self-improvement book about how to do it!
I don’t suppose that Stuchbery has been told to get fitter so that he can take part in sub-terroristic German “antifa” activities (the sort about which he used to tweet approvingly), but who knows?
Well…Stuchbery has now taken down his GoFundMe appeal, which with the help of the £100 from “Mo Akhtar” (who —oddly— has the same name as the solicitor in that “Letter before Action”) reached £9,984.
Whether any of the monies thus raised from about 580 mugs will ever be used to sue Tommy Robinson, who knows? As my previous comments on the blog make clear, I very much doubt it. In fact the whole thing may have been either an outright scam to extract money from mug donors, or maybe it started as a genuine but naive crowdfunding effort that just failed to reach its £20,000 target.
Not quite sure what to make of the YouTube video (below) that I happened to see (and which, towards the end, mentions “Roanna, Witch of Peace”, Stuchbery’s collaborator), but here it is anyway:
Update, 18 December 2019
Stuchbery has learned nothing; still inciting “antifa” violence in a pathetic, would-be clever, weaselling way, while sitting in a cafe in Germany. There’s something just…unclean…about Stuchbery.
“Years of experience”? Strange, when “Eve Solicitors” have only existed since May 2019, i.e. about 6-7 months! I suppose, being charitable (probably too charitable), it could refer to the (one or two) solicitors that the firm seems to have, as individuals, who may have practised elsewhere previously. “Team”? Can one solicitor (or maybe two solicitors) constitute a “team”?
I also saw this tweet from “Eve Solicitors”:
Arbitration Dispute resolution Contracts Commercial Defamation Civil harassment Personal injury
Who are they trying to kid?! Ha ha! “Our specialist solicitors”? What, two solicitors “specialize” in 7 mostly rather divergent areas of law? Is that social media ad honest? Is it within the SRA rules?
The Twitter account of “Eve Solicitors”, opened in November 2019, has all of 25 followers; that’s as of today, New Year’s Day, 2020.
I hesitate to suggest that the whole Roanna/Stuchbery/Eve Solicitors thing is some kind of scam, but, well, we shall see. According to “Roanna Carleton-Taylor” (apparently her real name), the ludicrously-named “witch of peace” on Twitter, there will be further fundraising in January to try to get enough money for “antifa” blot Stuchbery to sue Tommy Robinson for civil harassment. The nearly £10,000 already raised will, supposedly, be transferred from the “witch of peace” to Eve Solicitors in January and for that purpose.
As I have previously blogged, I cannot see that Stuchbery will be able even to launch an action against Tommy Robinson for less than about £40,000, for the reasons I blogged about in some detail. Will the 500 or 600 mugs who have donated so far reach into their pockets for another £10,000, £20,000, £30,000? I doubt it. Will the nearly £10,000 donated so far be refunded if no action is launched? I doubt it.
I have little time for Tommy Robinson either, as I have also already blogged. One-dimensional fake nationalism; pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and now he (like that idiot Paul Golding, and Katie Hopkins too) is supporting the illegitimate ZOG regime of the biggest con-man in British politics, Boris Johnson.
Update, 10 January 2020
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 so that Frau Stuchbery can also sue, so claimed the little “Resisting Hate” cabal last month). 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:
The report also mentions the “witch of peace” and her GoFundMe for Stuchbery. The HuffPost even obligingly links to it, with the result that several hundred pounds have been donated, bringing the total at time of writing to about £10,500. I have to say that I still doubt that the lawsuit will be launched, get off the ground, or fly far, but we shall have to wait and see.
Update, 15 January 2020
Well, in the past few days, a further £800 has been donated to Stuchbery’s sue-Tommy-Robinson GoFundMe. At time of writing, the appeal is on £11,384. Rather short of its £20,000 target and far far short of the £40,000+ which I have said, in my blog, would probably be required for Stuchbery to launch, effectively, a legal action against Tommy Robinson.
In the past 24 hours only £40 has been donated.
At the present rate, the £20,000 target will not be reached until the Summer of this year, if at all. What happens then if the action is not launched or has to stop? Will the £20,000 (minus GoFundMe fees) be returned to the mugs who donated? No. Will it be shared out among Eve Solicitors (for their “fees and expenses”?), Mike Stuchbery and Roanna Carleton-Taylor, the so-called “Witch of Peace”? I don’t know, but it will go somewhere. The mugs (those who are donating) will certainly not be refunded.
As with the first attempt to fund this legal action, there has been an initial rush of enthusiasm by those hostile to Tommy Robinson (and, as I have said, I am not very sympathetic to him myself), but then the wall was reached. Put alternatively, the funding appeal has again run into the sand. I still cannot see this action ever being launched, let alone succeeding.
Update, 16 January 2020
In the past 24 hours, a further £10 has been donated by some anonymous mug, bringing the total to £11,394. I suspect that previous donors are loath to be bitten twice. It does become rather obvious that Stuchbery and his UK fundraiser Roanna Carleton-Taylor (aka the “Witch of Peace”) are not going to be able to launch the proposed action against Tommy Robinson unless some eccentric stumps up a large sum to get the fund at least to its £20,000 target. I have already blogged about how I doubt that anything can be pursued unless Stuchbery gets at least £40,000 from mugs…I mean donors.
Update, 18 January 2020
Well, since the last update, two days ago, £95 has been donated (only £20 of that was in the past 24 hours). The appeal is now somewhat short of £11,500.
I wonder at what point they (Stuchbery and “the Witch of Peace”) will decide to give it all up as a bad job? Or will they launch the action regardless, wait until Tommy Robinson applies for Security for Costs, then abandon the action, blaming the legal system or something of that sort? Probably the latter, I am guessing. Then they can keep the rest of the money, whatever is left after GoFundMe, Court and solicitors’ fees.
I am sure that Stuchbery, who seems to have time to wander around his part of Germany, to tweet, to sit in cafes drinking coffee and eating strudel (while pretending to have three jobs), would be glad of even a few thousand pounds in cash, tax free.
Update, 19 January 2020
In the past 24 hours, only £5 has been donated to Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal. Looks like it is more “Gone” than “Go”…
Update, 22 January 2020
Nothing at all has been donated to Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal in the past 2 days, and only £5 in the past 3 days. Looks like Stuchbery and the “Witch of Peace” reached what might be termed “peak mug” before Christmas. Naive donors seem thin on the ground now.
There is obviously little or no chance of Stuchbery’s legal action against “Tommy Robinson” being launched (as promised or threatened) this month. At the risk of boring my readers through repetition, I do not think that there is much prospect of it being launched at all.
Update, 23 January 2020
I notice that some poor sap donated £10 to Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal today, the first donation for 3-4 days. The fund now stands at £11,524.
Update, 26 January 2020
No-one donated to Stuchbery’s GoFundMe today. In fact, no-one has donated for three days, and in the past week only about £25 has been given. Stuchbery and the “Witch of Peace” may have to accept that their attempt to make money from mugs has been only partly-successful, and that their attempt to use “lawfare” to attack (and profit from) “Tommy Robinson” has not worked. Even notorious Jew lawyers such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (late of London, now a resident of Eilat, Israel) are finding it rather harder than they supposed to take down their chosen enemies and make money out of them.
Update, 28 January 2020
An anonymous mug donated £10 to Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal yesterday. That makes a grand total of £20 donated in the past week. Sooner or later, Stuchbery and “Roanna, Witch of Peace” and their tame Pakistani solicitor will have to accept that they are not going to (successfully? at all?) sue “Tommy Robinson”.
In the meantime, Stuchbery has been threatening Danish publications with libel actions! He is an idiot. Does he know Danish law? I doubt it (I too know none, admittedly). The Danes must have been exposing him for the mentally-violent grifter that he is!
Oddly, it seems that Stuchbery might find the Danish legal system more welcoming than the English! (See below)
“Defamation remains a criminal offence in Denmark.
The relevant offence in the Danish Criminal Code is Art. 267 on defamation, defined as “violat[ing] the personal honour of another by offensive words or conduct or by making or spreading allegations of an act likely to disparage him in the esteem of his fellow citizens”. The scope of this article includes both factual allegations as well as “terms of abuse”. The penalty for acts under this article is a fine or imprisonment for up to for months .
Art. 268 stipulates that defamation committed in bad faith (maliciously), or in cases in which the offender at least had good reason to think the information was false, the possible penalty increases to a prison term of up to two years. Art. 269 provides an exemption from criminal liability if the act under Art. 267 involves a fact-based allegation that is true of “if the issuer of the allegation in good faith has been under an obligation to speak or has acted in lawful protection of obvious public interest or of the personal interest of himself or of others”.
Under Art. 270, even true statements may be liable under Art. 267 if they are considered gratuitously insulting.”
Touching to see how Stuchbery seems to have a naive belief in the altruism of lawyers! He seems to think that lawyers in Denmark, England, wherever…have nothing better to do but to advise, and appear for, odd foreign persons who have no money!
Speaking of which, the grand total for Stuchbery’s GoFundMe is still £11,534, only £20 having been donated in the past week.
Update, 31 January 2020
Well, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe is stuck on £11,534. The last donation was £10, and that was nearly four days ago. The previous one (also £10) was nearly eight days ago. Only those two £10 donations have been donated in over a week.
Unsurprisingly, there is no sign of the “legal action against Tommy Robinson” promised by Stuchbery and “Roanna, Witch of Peace”, his associate in the UK. It was supposed to be launched in January 2020. So far, nothing has been done (as far as I know) by the tiny Pakistani law firm selected by “Roanna, Witch of Peace” except to send a vague “Letter before Action” to Tommy Robinson a couple of months ago.
Meanwhile, Roanna “Witch of Peace” has been tweeting:
Ah, so she opposes “tweets that advocate violence”? She should give grifter Stuchbery a few well-chosen words of advice, then, because he has been advocating violence for years on Twitter, right up to 2020. He has advocated “punching”, “cracking skulls”, using other methods of attack. In fact, even today his first tweet of the day was this! [below]
Stuchbery is a puzzle for economists as well as lawyers (in my case, ex-lawyer): says that he has “three jobs”, but they seem to be a few hours per week (if that). Meanwhile, Stuchbery sits in Stuttgart cafes, drinking coffee and tweeting a good class war while staying well away from the front lines (if any).
He also threatens libel and other legal process in England, Denmark etc, despite having no steady job, and no money to speak of. He ought to write a book about how to do it. Why not? After all, Twitter and society in general is awash with those who, despite never having done anything to speak of in their whole lives, feel able to put themselves out as “life coaches”, “success coaches” and so on. “How to be an entrepreneur…by someone who has never been one”. “How to make millions…by someone who is hoping to get a modest income via being a ‘business coach’…”. Are there mugs enough to keep them all in coffee-money? I have no idea. Maybe…
Update, 2 February 2020
The GoFundMe set up by Stuchbery and “Roanna, Witch of Peace” is still stuck at £11,534. The last donation was £10, given 5 (nearly 6) days ago. I wonder whether the “Witch of Peace” will find a plausible explanation —for the mugs who gave their £5 and £10 notes— as to why there is no legal case issued against Tommy Robinson? The only way out I can envisage is the one I postulated a while ago: legal proceedings will be issued, Robinson will apply for Security for Costs, that will be granted, and then Stuchbery will be unable to pay into court enough money; the suit will then be stayed indefinitely or for some time. The blame can then be fastened on a reactionary legal procedure or court system.
Eventually, on those premises, the suit will either be dismissed with costs ordered against Stuchbery, or Stuchbery’s lawyer(s) will have to withdraw, in either case paying the costs of Robinson out of the GoFundMe monies. Whatever is left of those monies will not be capable of being returned to the donors even pro rata (some were anonymous) and so the cash left over will (after the solicitor takes his no doubt generous fees) be Stuchbery’s to keep, in practice. Viva la grift!
Amusing on several levels. Seems that, as in Parsifal, time is elastic in Stuchbery’s Germany. He seems to spend an inordinate time drinking coffee in cafes for someone who says that he has no less than three jobs.
Be that as it may, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe has increased by £20 in the past day, bringing the total donated by mugs in the past week or so to £30, and to £11,554 altogether.
In a way, I wish that Stuchbery and the “Witch of Peace” would raise enough to reach their £20,000 target (or the £40,000 I think that they will need) and issue the proceedings against Tommy Robinson, so that I can watch. I am not much of a popcorn-lover, but it would be amusing to see what happens. I doubt that much, if anything, will happen, though.
Update, 5 February 2020
Well, a few developments. “Roanna, Witch of Peace”, i.e. Roanna Carleton-Taylor, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe organizer, who is also the founder and one of the (few) members of the idiot-“antifa” group called “Resisting Hate”, changed her Twitter label from @witchofpeace to some other stupid label, something like @antifashwitch.
As to “Resisting Hate”, its Twitter account, @ResistingHate, has been suspended, probably permanently. I wonder what is going on. I saw these tweets, though I cannot vouch for their veracity:
Roanna Carleton Taylor (@witchofpeace) claims to be 'Anti Fascist' but encourages people to doxx people she doesn't agree with.
You support Roanna Carleton Taylor, who is married to Sean Carleton Taylor, a man who spanked a young girl in uniform, and were forced to move home because of their proximity to a primary school – this is all documented with the Police! https://t.co/iYFiPlUFGX
Strangely enough, a rather silly abusive message (“your turn will come” etc…) was sent to my blog a week or two ago. Only about the third or fourth in three years. I did not approve it for publication, obviously, but know exactly from where it came (despite apparent attempts having been made to conceal the true location). “What goes around comes around”, as they say…
Well, back in the real world, the GoFundMe set up by Stuchbery and his, er, broomstick-riding associate has reached £11,589, thanks to a couple of naive mugs who donated £20. In the past 24 hours, £35 has been donated; in the past week or so, a total of £55. That means that in only 4 years, Stuchbery, Roanna and their Pakistani solicitor will be able to sue Tommy Robinson! Or not (if, as I think, £20,000 will prove inadequate). In the meantime, Stuchbery can carry on drinking coffee in German cafes and pretending that he has three jobs…
Update, 10 February 2020
Well, Stuchbery is still drinking coffee in the cafes of Stuttgart, talking a good pseudo-revolutionary war while (as always) staying well away from any action:
Take all the MAGA hats. All of them. Put them in a big pile. Pour kerosene on them. Burn them. Scatter the ashes.
It still won't be 'fascist', and anyone who tells you so is curiously silent when some angry white kid hunts down Hispanic folks in a Walmart with an assault rifle.
He’s just an unbalanced nut, really. Meanwhile, the GoFundMe set up for his proposed or supposed legal action against Tommy Robinson has had only £35 donated in the past week (the last donation was £10, 5 days ago).
I am beginning to wonder whether the whole “sue Tommy Robinson” scheme was not at least partly a scam dreamed up by “@antifashwitch” Roanna, Stuchbery himself, and the Pakistani solicitor. Maybe that is a bit “conspiracy theory”, but so far —and we are in mid-February now— there is no sign of any legal action being launched (one was promised in or after January…) and the money the hundreds of mugs have donated sits there…
I want Stuchbery to try to sue “Robinson”, because I am looking forward to some remote-viewing legal fun as the lawsuit crashes and burns. However, I now think that I shall be disappointed; there will be no Stuchbery v. Yaxley-Lennon.
Update, 14 February 2020
Stuchbery’s Letter before Action, sent by “Eve Solicitors” to Tommy Robinson, was dated 26 November 2019. It seems that nothing more has happened since then. Nearly three months. No sign that Stuchbery has started proceedings. The GoFundMe total is now £11,594, one mug having donated £5 in the past week or so.
My speculative thought that this GoFundMe is (or would become) a scam is firming. I have seen no tweet by Roanna “@antifashwitch” or Stuchbery saying that the funds from the appeal have been transferred to Eve Solicitors “by Jan 2020” (as promised on 21 November 2020 when the fund was set up online).
In the meantime, Roanna “antifashwitch” has no job (as far as can be seen) and while Stuchbery pretends to have three jobs, he seems to spend most of his time drinking coffee in German cafes, visiting historical sites and then copying stuff he reads onto his history-oriented tweets, or tweeting ridiculous “Wolfie Smith” stuff about “Death to Fascism” and defeating “neo-Nazi-ism” etc.
Update, 15 February 2020
Well, it seems that having (as he claims) three jobs does not prevent Stuchbery from travelling for pleasure. Here he is today, off to Krakov!
I wonder whether Krakov (my preferred spelling) is different from how it was on my own last visit, in 1989. The ancient main square looks the same. The Cloth Hall and the Basilica, where I was once best man at a big wedding. Doesn’t seem over 30 years ago…
Back to Stuchbery, though. He seems to spend most of his time tweeting, as well as drinking coffee in the cafes of Stuttgart, as well as visiting nearby cities. His GoFundMe, supposedly to sue Tommy Robinson, is still stuck (only £5 has been donated in the past ten days). All the same, the money, over £11,000 of it, will not be refunded to the mug donors even though it becomes embarrassingly obvious that Stuchbery and “Roanna, @antifashwitch” are not going to issue court proceedings against Tommy Robinson via their Pakistani solicitor.
I yet again find myself wondering whether Stuchbery, Roanna and the Pakistani have just divided up the money, or whether (after GoFundMe and legal fees) Stuchbery has just been remitted the bulk of the money to use for his “lifestyle” and leisure travels.
If I am wrong, no doubt a lawsuit against Tommy Robinson will be publicized on Twitter or in the msm. So far nothing. This all started back in August and a Letter before Action was sent to Tommy Robinson (sub nom “Mr. Yaxley Lennon”) in November 2019. I doubt that that letter much taxed the solicitor’s legal skills.
I do not feel sorry for the mugs who donated. Stuchbery is a violent and fanatical extremist who, however, is too cowardly to get personally and directly mixed up in political violence. He prefers to incite and instigate via tweet from a German cafe, Bierstube or Konditorei. Anyone stupid enough to give that grifter money deserves to lose it! Still, if it turns out that there was never a serious intention to use the monies donated for the purpose expressed, then I daresay that the UK police fraud squad(s) might be interested.
All aboard for the Krakov Express!
Update, 22 February 2020
Not much change in the situation. Stuchbery’s GoFundMe has now reached £11,614, a total of £20 (from three separate mugs) having been donated in the past 9 days.
Still no sign of any legal action by Stuchbery and/or his “German” wife. I doubt that “Tommy Robinson” is quaking in his boots.
Meanwhile, many tweets are critical of Stuchbery. One (below, from a “Clarice Edwards”) makes points similar to those I made some time ago:
Wow. Go fund me started 3 months ago for a grifter with 90,000 followers to raise £20,000 from his supporters and to date has raised £11,614. Shows what his loyal followers think of him.
Yes, it shows the essential pointlessness of Twitter. If a mere quarter of Stuchbery’s supposed Twitter followers were to donate as little as £1 each, he would easily over-subscribe the amount he wants to raise. Yet here we are. Only £20 donated in the past nearly 10 days…
There is going to be no legal action against Tommy Robinson by Mike Stuchbery. Fact. If I am wrong, it will only be because an action is launched cynically, without hope of success, for political motives and so that whatever is left over from initial moves can be shared out by the two or three “antifa” idiots involved.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery, sitting drinking coffee in a cafe, urges —again— the broad masses to revolt. He never stops fighting the culture war… from his favourite cafe.
Loud, angry protests outside many AfD branch offices across Germany.
Well, here we are pretty much at the end of February. Stuchbery and “AntiFashWitch” Roanna Carleton-Taylor (and their “full legal team”, meaning a Pakistani in a back room in a North of England rustbelt town) have still not launched the threatened legal action (or even served the preliminary paperwork) against Tommy Robinson/Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
It looks as though, as I blogged weeks and even months ago, Stuchbery, Roanna and the Pakistani have reached “peak mug”. No-one now wants to donate to their doomed lawsuit. Only £5 has been donated to the GoFundMe appeal in over a week, and over the past month or so, only £80 has come in.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery continues to travel around Germany, sending out feelers for any hospitality that might be on offer:
I'm in Munich this weekend. Do I know anybody there?
Though now based in Stuttgart with his “German” wife, Stuchbery is going to Munich and has been around the Bodensee (Lake Constance) this week:
Guys, for various reasons I've been down near the Bodensee a bit and I don't think I've ever come across a landscape that made me feel so… happy? pic.twitter.com/LBfEmtQVQd
Quite a feat for someone who claims to “work three jobs”…
Still, I am sure that the 689 mugs who —incredibly— have donated to his GoFundMe appeal (currently totalling £11,614) will be glad that Stuchbery can enjoy life at their expense, despite the fact that there is obviously never going to be a lawsuit by him against Tommy Robinson.
Update, 7 March 2020
Well, Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal, set up by “@antifashwitch” (formerly “@witchofpeace” on Twitter) and supposedly to fund his lawsuit in either defamation or harassment against Tommy Robinson, continues to stall.
Stuchbery’s GoFundMe has had precisely nothing donated in the past week (in fact in the past 8 days) and only £35 in the past month. Despite that, “witch” Roanna Carleton-Taylor insists, to the few that ask on Twitter, that the lawsuit will happen, sometime or aother… Hardy ha ha! The appeal was set up about 5 months ago now, in November or October last year, and has only raised about £11,600 of the £20,000 asked for. Occasional misguided mugs give £5 or so.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery threatens more lawsuits for which he cannot pay (or succeed in). I myself am also now apparently in his gunsights!
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
The problem (well, one problem) that Stuchbery has is that he knows little or no law (just as he understands little of history or journalism, despite his self-identifying as “historian” and “journalist”). Like many on Twitter (often but not always Jews) he thinks that he or others can “sue” at the drop of a hat, and with inevitable success. No…
Update, 12 March 2020
Stuchbery’s GoFundMe appeal is still on only £11,624. The last mug donor to give money was a lady who gave £10, two weeks ago. In the past month, a total of £30 has been given. I suppose that, in the end, Stuchbery and “Roanna, AntiFashWitch” will have to give up the pretence that they are going to sue Tommy Robinson. Perhaps they hope that the monies raised can be “redistributed”. The donors will of course not be reimbursed.
Update, 20 March 2020
In the past month, £25 has been donated to the “sue Tommy Robinson” GoFundMe; nothing at all in the past week. The total now stands at £11,634. Still no sign that Stuchbery is really going to sue Tommy Robinson, very nearly 6 months after Stuchbery’s associate, Roanna Carleton-Taylor (aka “@WitchOfPeace” and “@AntiFashWitch”), launched the funding appeal. Likewise, Stuchbery has not attempted to sue me for what he claimed is my “defaming” of him; neither have any Danes been sued by him.
Stuchbery is full of…coffee and cakes bought with monies kindly provided by his mug donors! Ha ha!
Update, 1 April 2020
In the past weeks there has been no change. Stuchbery’s “sue Tommy Robinson” fund set up by Roanna Carleton Taylor of Derbyshire (aka @WitchOfPeace and @AntiFashWitch) in November 2019, still stands at £11,634. Nothing at all has been donated in the past 18 days and only £10 in the past month.
The above does not mean that proceedings cannot be issued. In Stuchbery’s case, I very much doubt that they will be, not now and not in the Summer or Autumn of 2020 when the courts resume activity.
It is “only” my opinion, of course, but I believe that not only will Tommy Robinson not be sued by Mike Stuchbery, but that Stuchbery and/or “AntiFashWitch” will, eventually, just keep the monies donated by about 650 mugs, once GoFundMe have taken off their fees and once the one-man-band Pakistani solicitor has taken his cut via “professional fees”…
Update, 25 May 2020
The GoFundMe appeal set up last November by “@AntiFashWitch” Roanna Carleton-Taylor, so that Stuchbery could sue Tommy Robinson, has now crawled forward to £11,644. No money has been donated in the past month, and only £10 in the past 2 months.
Stuchbery will not be suing “Tommy Robinson” or anyone else. So what happens to the fund? A modest amount, but still worth having. As written previously, I suppose that Stuchbery and “AntiFashWitch” will split it, once GoFundMe and the one-man-band Pakistani solicitor have taken off money for their fees.
Meanwhile, Stuchbery jogs around Stuttgart for his health, and tweets. Once the cafes re-open (assuming that that is not already the case), he can drink coffee and eat cake, funded by the nearly 700 mugs who donated to him.
Still grifting…

Update, 11 June 2020
Stuchbery again talking a good game and trying to incite political violence:
Hey Paul. Yes. I wouldn't touch the fella – I'm not that kind of guy. Also, yes, having your address announced to thousands of racists is a big problem.
I'm just saying, if anyone tried to pull down a statue of Mandela, there are plenty of folks who would hospitalise them. https://t.co/E4gOnI0U8P
[above: Stuchbery about a year ago, when Tommy Robinson turned up at his then home in the UK; not so hard…]
Stuchbery always tries to threaten or incite in that weasel-like way. He himself never gets directly involved but sits in cafes inciting violence from a safe distance.
As to the threatened legal action against Tommy Robinson, it will never happen (as I predicted from the start). The GoFundMe is stuck at £11,644, and no-one has donated even a fiver for about 2 months. I don’t really feel sorry for the 700 mugs who donated to that appeal (set up by Roanna Carleton-Taylor, aka “@antifashwitch”). I dare say that at least some of it will keep Stuchbery in cream cakes and coffee as he sits in his favoured Stuttgart cafes, inciting violence by computer or smartphone….
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, 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 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 libel 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 mugs donated. Perhaps we shall find out, one day.
Update, 12 June 2022
I update partly because the post continues to get hits quite often.
As I predicted from the start, there never was launched any action against “Tommy Robinson” (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) by those behind that GoFundMe appeal, meaning the “antifa” grifter Mike Stuchbery, and Roanna Carleton-Taylor (now “@oilpaintwitch” on Twitter, and formerly “@antifashwitch” and “@witchofpeace”).
No public word from the Pakistani solicitor, “Roanna”, or Mike Stuchbery as to what happened to the over £11,000 donated. The 700+ mugs who donated have been taken not only for a ride but for a pointless ride…
In fact, “Tommy Robinson” has been taken to court several times since the launch of the appeal, but by others, nothing to do with the above GoFundMe.
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. 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.

Some one ask Mike Stuchbery why he got sacked from his teaching job in Victoria!? Why did he run away & hide in Germany & UK!? He's no teacher, no historian, and defo no journo.
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)

Here is Stuchbery threatening a tweeter in Germany (he posted that reply only today). What a horrible bastard he is. He missed his vocation, which should have been some devious, servile, secret co-worker of the Stasi. He would have loved that.

You did not tell @sajidjavid that Mike Stuchbery, the supposed 'journalist' given token jobs in the last couple of month to qualify him as such, has repeatedly endorsed & encouraged the violence of far-left extremists. The sanctions you are encouraging would apply to him as well: pic.twitter.com/YywRijfRAX
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).

Stuchbery as begging grifter
I don't have a SoundCloud, but I recently moved countries, and that's hideously expensive, so if you're feeling generous, you can kick me a buck or two on Ko-Fi…
Whether it's my history threads, my work against the Far Right or your uncontrollable burning desire, if you've been thinking about chucking a few coins my way, now would be a really, *really* good time…
I've started a @gofundme to get @PretzelEmpress & I back on track after a bumpy few years. If you like my stuff, consider it an investment – if you don't, feel free to abuse and heckle me! 😘 https://t.co/L3N6Eq1h6z
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?!).

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!
