It had to happen. The censorship and hypocrisy pervasive in the whole society is magnified on Twitter.
On Twitter, white (i.e. European, or Aryan, or post-Aryan if you like) people are always in the wrong, unless they “bend the knee” (literally or metaphorically) in sign of fealty to those of inferior race and culture.
There is, of course, a double standard on Twitter. The blacks and browns and— a fortiori— Jews are allowed pretty much free rein. White (i.e. European or European-origin) people can be “suspended” and/or “permanently suspended” (they mean “removed”) quite easily, especially when packs of Jews (or those effectively controlled by Jews) gang up against them.
That is what happened to me in 2018. I joined Twitter in 2010 but tweeted almost nothing until 2011. The Jew-Zionist pack on (UK) Twitter targeted me after I tweeted something about a BBC Radio 4 Today Programme piece about the “restitution” scam, whereby Jews whose ancestors owned property (buildings, houses, gold bars, Old Master paintings) in Central or Eastern Europe in 1930s (sometimes procured by the Jews via fraud and outright theft) have such property (or money in lieu) “restored” to them.
Basically, the governments of various European states end up paying money to the Jews in “compensation” for what was expropriated from the Jews’ grandparents or great-grandparents. All claimed to be an outcome of the “holocaust” farrago (in fact most of the property was abandoned when Jews left Germany, Poland etc for the UK, USA, France etc).
The relentless Jew-Zionist attack on me, from about 2011 onwards resulted in my being disbarred, albeit only in 2016, 8 years after I had left Bar practice.
The now-disgraced and infirm Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was trying to “get” me for years, and the two Jew-Zionist packs with which he was most associated, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and “UK Lawyers for Israel” both tried to have me disbarred, arrested and charged (with various faked-up offences), and expelled from Twitter.
Well, I was never arrested, let alone charged, tried or convicted of anything, but I was disbarred, after a nearly two-and a-half-year struggle. I have blogged about all this:
[above: the Jew solicitor, Mark Lewis, tweeting to people…]
Incidentally, Mark Lewis is still on Twitter and even has a “blue tick”, meaning that he is considered favoured; that despite the fact that Lewis actually bought about 70,000 non-existent “followers” (his wife at the time, Caroline Feraday, did similar; the marriage itself was brief, and lasted months not years). Lewis has kept at least 15,000 of his bought “followers” (he originally, when briefly “famous”, around 2012, had about 8,000, I thought, though Legal Cheek magazine said only 3,000, the same as me, ironically). That magazine pretended, for the sake of convenience, or for purposes of satire, to accept Lewis’s ludicrous “I wuz hacked” plea:
When I was expelled from Twitter, I had only 3,000 followers, but at least they were all real (I also followed only about 50 accounts, mostly organizations; Lewis follows, even now, 660 at time of writing).
Thousands of other tweeters have blue ticks, but I can think of only one social-national tweeter, Nick Griffin, and I doubt whether he will be on Twitter for much longer now.
The only consolation is that Twitter is largely a waste of time anyway. Twitter thought that the Brexit Referendum would be easily won by Remain, and that Trump had no chance of election in 2016 (etc).
I have blogged about freedom of expression. I have also blogged and (before I was expelled) tweeted about a connected topic, what I call “the privatization of public space“, meaning how a few huge quasi-monopolies (particularly Twitter, Facebook, ebay, Amazon, YouTube) have arrogated to themselves and their employees the right to deny a platform to those with the “wrong” views, i.e. anything that stands against a Zionist-controlled or influenced globalized dystopia:
More tweets, this time “celebrating” the removal of Katie Hopkins from Twitter. It is noticeable how many of those tweets are from those who make money out of the msm and who (unlike brave Laurence Fox) are desperate not to be blacklisted.
Look at the sneering, sadistic little bastard below, one Jamie East (note his proud “blue tick”, btw). Is, or was, an msm presenter (though I myself had never heard the name until today). The sheer nastiness comes out strongly. Also, like many others attacking Katie Hopkins, he seems to relish kicking someone who is down.
Here below is the contribution of Mehdi Hasan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Hasan, who “bravely” puts the boot into Katie Hopkins now that she has been removed from Twitter.
I try not to tweet about Hopkins because she’s an attention-seeking troll who thrives on controversy, but given the story itself is about how’s she’s now permanent gone from Twitter, I guess, she can’t really retweet or quote-retweet me 🙂 https://t.co/CczhlBcZF8
Below, another nasty little man who probably thinks himself terribly clever laughing at serious and important concepts such as freedom of expression etc…
As much as I disagree with Katie Hopkins, we should all remember that her account being blocked by Twitter is a violation of her human rights and It's important that we don't lose our own humanity when we something something hahahaha fuck off.
Above, the logical conclusion: a witch-hunt, as seen in, eg, the Stalinist purges. Guilt by association and assumption (though I see now that the above tweeter is just a dim troll of some kind, possibly hoping to add to his 25 followers on Twitter).
The mob of “useful idiots” crawls over the marble ruins of a civilization that it could never build…
Just now in Washington, DC, BLM Protestors topple Statue of Albert Pike in Judiciary Square.
Take a look, below, at tweeter “@LdnPearl”/“coons be gone” (well, in the reported words of Jesus Christ, “you have said it“…):
[Update, 21 June 2020: the very next day, tweeter “@LdnPearl” changed her “coons be gone” name to “Pearl”. Why? I mean, after all, “tell the truth and shame the Devil”, in the old saying…]
Wtf is #BritishLivesMatter ?? ‘British history’ is slavery, genocides, abusing, raping, looting and human trafficking there’s nothing to be proud of. You are all delusional as fuck. pic.twitter.com/R0RwOLDD8W
Conclusion? Quite a few of the blacks, the younger ones mainly, just hate us. There can be no society with them. A tweeter like “coons be gone” is a useless millstone round the necks of the British people.
And here (below) is another seemingly dim person (why are so many dim people from Manchester? Still, that’s one for the psychologists or social historians, I suppose).
Katie Hopkins. Freedom of speech. You should really only enjoy that right if you don't abuse it.
Also, one of the huge number of tweeters for whom Twitter really matters. In fact, it matters scarcely at all. The reality is that Twitter is an adjunct to politics, not the main substance of it (as the obsessed believe).
[Update, 29 August 2022: Amusingly enough, the tweeter just highlighted, who laughed at Katie Hopkins having been expelled from Twitter, has since then himself been expelled. I wonder whether that taught him anything?].
My own view of the Katie Hopkins/Twitter matter
As said above and elsewhere by me, Twitter is largely a waste of time. It helps those who have external activity happening; it is not useful as a standalone. If you are, say, Donald Trump, and you are expelled from Twitter, well, in the end, you are still President of the United States.
To put it another way, and to deploy the “Ken Livingstone” argument, were Adolf Hitler around today and had the NSDAP, SA, SS etc, Twitter would certainly assist the dissemination of his views, but it would not, of itself, help him to attain power or to retain power.
Switching that around, if a person today has no real organization behind him (or her) but only a “social media” presence, that person, be he or she ever so “famous”, is a colossus on legs of straw. Take away the social media platform(s), and the online personality is left with nothing.
The above “de-platforming” has happened to quite a few already. At more or less random, one thinks of that ghastly American degenerate, “Milo”. Others hit by “de-platforming” from all or most large online fora (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc) have been such as “Prison Planet” (Paul Watson), “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin, and of course Katie Hopkins.
The irony is, that several of those removed from various online platforms, though removed mostly because the Jew lobby wanted it so, have been almost desperately pro-Israel and pro-Jew. “Prison Planet” Watson and Katie Hopkins are two such supplicants. Another is Tommy Robinson.
Lesser known people (intellectual dissidents, dissenting artists etc) are also being removed from the major platforms. Alison Chabloz, Brother Nathanael, Ian Millard (me!) and many another. Some cling on here and there, but all are being purged now and will not be on those platforms for long.
For the “alt-Right” wastes of space, being “de-platformed” means that their income streams largely dry up. Take away their online stuff, and they have nothing left. Take away the online presence of a real social-national party (were one in existence) and it would be not fatal, but merely an inconvenience.
The “alt-Right” wastes of space (Watson, Hopkins, “Sargon of Akkad”, “Tommy Robinson” etc are indeed men (and women) of straw. The only one with any real troops is Tommy Robinson, but he is not social-national, more like a clan leader, and without real ideology.
I support the rights of free expression of those mentioned above mainly from general principle. I believe that people should be able to express, without let or hindrance, views on political, social, or historical topics. The enemies of our culture and civilization (the black mobs, the “antifa” idiots, the Jew-Zionists) believe in preventing free speech.
I might add that Katie Hopkins and the other “alt-Right” and associated types never said a word in support of me; few of them said anything in support of persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz; none said a word in support of Jez Turner, of the London Forum, who was actually imprisoned for a year at the behest of that same pack of Jew-Zionists, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
My own views are not at one with those “alt-Right” and similar people, at least on most issues. For example, Katie Hopkins is, or says that she is, pro-Israel and pro-Jew. For me, that is the end, and “Ian Millard has left the building”. However, she has courage, that’s for sure, and I think that she is genuinely against the migration invasion of Europe by blacks and browns.
In the end, does online ranting, opining, analyzing (and yes that does include this blog) accomplish much? I say no. It may have some utility, and I blog out of a sense of duty, and because who knows what might not happen because I blog? I do not regard blogging as truly politically or socially significant. Neither is vlogging, or (still less) tweeting.
Katie Hopkins is not social-national in ideology, of course. She is also callous in her attitudes.
What is needed is a real social-national organization in the UK. The time will never be more auspicious than in the next 7 years.
Tweets seen on various topics
Coronavirus and the “lockdown”/shutdown madness:
Alas @gronvita, I fear that the official version will claim that the shutdown was not soon enough. About 85% of the population is wholly unaware of the expert dissent from the shutdown tactic, as almost all major media have simply ignored this dissent for three long months. https://t.co/EKs90TZgQO
Latest example of utterly pathetic police. But look at the comments section – the only one permitted (8 a.m) by moderators has over 4,000 Likes. So plenty are going to the comments section but the mods are blocking virtually all. You know why!https://t.co/YBTXfFZHXX
In fact, all the police bending their knees in that report seem to be black. Scandal. Incidentally, the Daily Mail refers to the organizer of the protest as “Bishop” Desmond Jadoo (or should that be “Baboo”?). The church of which he is apparently a “bishop” is not the Church of England (God be praised for small mercies…) but the “Vision Temple of Praise Church”, whatever that may be.
Glasgow
I was unaware until today (looking at tweets) to what extent Glasgow has become non-European (I have never been to that city). Shocking infiltration into government, the legal system etc.
More tweets
My 🌍is opening up, back at my market stall , 1 thing I wasn't prepared for is having conversations with black friends, who don't support BLM , I think it's an age thing , it feels very weird trying to have those conversations & getting quite a lot of hostility
That has been my assumption, that the “Black Lives Matter” semi-insurrection is centred on the kind of young blacks who have been born in the UK, and who hate everything about Britain and the British, largely because they have been filled with “anti-fascist” and anti-British propaganda at ghastly comprehensive schools, aka educational prisons (in some cases).
The tweet below must be a contender for “thick tweet of the day”!
Diane Abbott could have been Home Secretary…imagine that.
Update, 29 August 2022
Looking at this blog post now, for the first time since it was written, it is noticeable how many tweeters have been expelled from Twitter. Most of those who, two years ago, expressed support for Katie Hopkins and/or free speech, but also some of those applauding the censorship and repression. “What goes around comes around“…
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.
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.
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 pic.twitter.com/UEOeaXogHC
“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.
That you think it's fair game for mockery, and that you continue with this, says everything about who you are. pic.twitter.com/HFLtCQPFXc
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.

There are serious questions to be asked about any one of these Far Right YouTubers who goes combing through school websites to find photos to squeal about.
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.

Government ad in a Stuttgart U-Bahn: 'We believe in freedom and the freedom of belief.".
How nice to have that explicitly spelled out, as opposed to the racist dogwhistling back in England. pic.twitter.com/HxgR5dlySA
Hypocrite Stuchbery tweets about “freedom of belief” while supporting the “German” laws criminalizing, inter alia, “holocaust” “denial” ( historical revision) etc. He believes in “freedom of belief” so much that, if he sees anyone with whom he disagrees, he tries to get that person bumped off Twitter, Facebook etc, tries to get the person arrested, tries to attack his or her donation pages online, or worse…
Here [see below] is the Germany that Stuchbery and his equally extremist “German” wife love (to see trashed): invaded by millions of non-Europeans and ruled by an authoritarian Zionist Occupation Government [ZOG]!
Stuchbery and others want to run those with whom they disagree off Twitter (which they laughably over-value), other online fora too, and also prevent them from getting funding via donations. Stuchbery wants to prevent the freedom of expression of others.
In other words, Stuchbery is a kind of para-terrorist, one who would not say boo to a goose in real life, but wallows in the violence committed by others of a so-called “anti-fascist”, meaning anti-European race and culture, disposition. Moreover, he has a record of incitement. He talks at times as if he is on good terms with security services in Germany. Maybe those departments should take a good look at him (and his German wife).
Notes
Incredibly, even the Daily Telegraph called Stuchbery an “historian” when alt-Right “Prison Planet” Watson (quite rightly) exploded re. yet another attempt to brainwash young people into believing that Britain has always been “diverse” (full of blacks)…and yes, the Romans may have imported a few Arabs or Nubians as slaves or whatever. That means nothing.
In fact, the same (((propaganda))) and (((brainwashing))), calling Stuchbery “historian”, found its way right across the media (msm), even into such unlikely publications as Teen Vogue! Written by one Robert Newhouse…(((……?……..)))
Perhaps I should add, for those unaware of my views, that I am not a follower or supporter of “Tommy Robinson”, though I agree with a few of his views, notably the invasion of Europe by Muslims and others. For me, Robinson is just an unwitting (perhaps witting) catspaw for the System: pro-Jew, pro-Israel etc, just like Katie Hopkins, “Prison Planet” Watson, Breitbart, UKIP, Brexit Party etc. However, unlike Stuchbery, I do not want to deny Robinson or the others their free speech rights.
Update, 28 October 2019
He’s still trying to destroy freedom of expression online…
The latest news is that some odd woman tied up with both “antifa” nonsense and Jew-Zionists has created a GoFundMe appeal on behalf of Stuchbery, supposedly so that he can sue the political activist known as Tommy Robinson.
I prefer not to comment on the proposed legal claim until I read more about the foundations for such claim. I presume that Stuchbery is doing this (the woman mentioned above may be raising funds for him but only Stuchbery himself can actually sue) because:
he knows or believes that Tommy Robinson has assets sufficient to satisfy any successful claim;
he has seen that others are already suing Tommy Robinson;
he thinks, perhaps, that a civil legal action will damage Tommy Robinson by starving him of funds;
if successful, Stuchbery will make a great deal more money than he gets at present via online begging or his part-time work in Stuttgart, where he now resides.
Were I the defendant, and leaving aside the potential substantive issues that might be in issue in the proposed case, I suppose that I should focus firstly on the fact that Stuchbery is
resident outside the strict jurisdiction (albeit still in the EU);
is a foreign national (as I understand, an Australian citizen);
has no real or other property in England and Wales;
has no means with which to satisfy any judgment on costs or in respect of any counterclaim or setoff that might be claimed by Tommy Robinson, should the Court decide against Stuchbery on one or more issues or otherwise.
I doubt that this claim will get off the ground. I certainly doubt that it will clear the probable first hurdle, as explained above, but we shall see. It appears, however, that plenty of mugs are donating to the said GoFundMe appeal at present.
Update, 25 November 2019
Stuchbery’s solicitors, Eve Solicitors (the firm is a limited company in fact, possibly in effect a one-man operation), are operating out of a rundown Victorian terrace in Bradford; several other small legal and other firms are operating nearby. The operation has only been in operation since 20 May 2019, at earliest:
The “firm” has only been at its present address since 28 September 2019, before which, i.e. from its incorporation in May until September 2019, it operated out of a tiny Victorian terraced house in a “Coronation Street” lookalike, Hudswell Street, Wakefield (Yorkshire).
The principal (and only named) solicitor is one Waseem Ahmed.
Where the name “Eve” came from, God knows. My only guess is “Adam and Eve”, as in the Cockney rhyming slang, “you wouldn’t Adam and Eve it!”
Only joking.
Having said that, when I was a practising barrister in London in the early-mid 1990s, I knew of Pakistani and other ethnic-minority solicitors (in London, in Luton and elsewhere) who used “English”-sounding names for their small firms. Some of them still owe me money! (Unpaid fees). I am sure that Stuchbery’s solicitor is not like that.
I looked earlier at the GoFundMe appeal set up to collect money for Stuchbery’s proposed legal claim against Tommy Robinson. So far, 262 mugs have donated a total (as of time and date of writing) of £5,209 to start the claim. I wonder whether they or others will donate the rest of the £15,000 asked for? Frankly, I doubt it, though the amount so far raised has been raised in only three days.
I doubt that the proposed lawsuit will either launch or get anywhere.
Further thoughts
The woman who is fundraising for Stuchbery, and who seems to have all day to tweet etc, has tweeted that “As many of you know, Mike Stuchbery is about to sue #TommyRobinson for harassment. He is backed by #ResistingHate and a full legal team.“
A “full legal team”? So that would be someone called Waseem Ahmed and…?
I do not say that “Eve Solicitors” (i.e. Mr. Ahmed) is a one-man-band (though it certainly seems to be), and I cannot say that there are no legal people offering advice etc from the sidelines (what used to be known at the Bar as “cocktail party advice”), but I do know, having been at one time a practising barrister who (in the 1990s) regularly appeared (weekly, at least) in the High Court, as well as in County Courts, and more occasionally other types of court and tribunal (both then and in the 2002-2008 period), that GoFundMe £20,000 will only serve to kick off such a case and claim, if I have understood its likely nature properly. Costs rapidly escalate.
Solicitors vary in their fees, barristers likewise. Simply to issue proceedings in a High Court action (which I suppose the proposed case would probably be) would be several hundred pounds as a minimum, and many thousands of pounds in some cases.
As a rule of thumb, a barrister will get anywhere from (as minimum) £500 a day on a small civil matter in the County Court, up to many thousands of pounds per day for almost any High Court matter, though there is no “limit” as such, and some barristers, eg the top commercial silks (QCs) will be on £10,000 a day or more. The spectrum is very wide.
As those who enjoyed Rumpole of the Bailey will know, a barrister usually gets a “brief fee” (to cover all preparation and the first day, if any, in court), then daily “refreshers”. How much are they? How long is a piece of string?
One of my own last few cases was a County Court commercial matter involving a large amount of cattle feed. Now that it is long ago since I last appeared in court (December 2007; this case was not long before that), I think that I can reveal, by way of illustration, that I was paid, that time, £5,000 as a brief fee and £1,000 a day for refreshers (in fact there were no refreshers, because the matter settled on the first day in court).
I have no real idea how much the case of Stuchbery v. Robinson might cost Stuchbery in legal fees if it is ever pursued to court, but my semi-educated guess (“semi” because I have not been involved with the Bar for over a decade) is that whoever presents it in court (unless doing it for free or on the cheap) will probably want a brief fee of perhaps £5,000 (at least) and (at minimum) £500 per day refreshers. Maybe £10,000 and £1,000 per day. It can be seen that, even at the lower estimate, a 2-week hearing (10 days in court, which this well might be) is going to cost £9,500 for Counsel’s fees alone.
Solicitors’ fees also vary widely. When I myself worked (overseas) for law firms (as an employed lawyer), the firms charged for my work at anything up to USD $500 (or about £400) an hour (I myself didn’t get that, sadly, the firms did); and that was over 20 years ago. I suppose that Stuchbery’s solicitors will not be very expensive, but will probably still charge maybe £50 an hour at absolute minimum. Solicitor case preparation might take hundreds of hours. 100 hours @ £50 p.h. = £5,000.
Then there are what solicitors term “disbursements”, i.e. the expenses of the case such as issue fees, witness expenses, whatever.
You can see how £20,000 can be quickly exhausted…
However, even if Stuchbery’s solicitors (solicitor?) can launch the proposed matter and fund a couple of weeks in court (and don’t forget that the solicitor, if in attendance, will also be charging for his time there), there is the matter of what happens if Stuchbery loses. No, that is not left to chance. The lawyers for the proposed defendant, Robinson, will in that event have to have their costs covered too. Even if they only come to the same level as Stuchbery’s (which I doubt), that puts Stuchbery (and possibly others who have funded the claim) £20,000+ in the hole. It could be a great deal more. Maybe even hundreds of thousands.
Stuchbery is an Australian citizen, maybe also a German one now (I do not know). He has no real property in the UK or, as far as I know, even in Germany, where he now lives. He has no, or no substantial, monies in the UK (or anywhere?). He does not have a substantial income or a full-time job.
On the above facts, and if Robinson applies in court for that, Stuchbery is almost certain to have to provide “security for costs”, i.e. [see above] monies “paid into court” (into a court-controlled account) to cover Robinson’s costs should Stuchbery lose his case. Likewise, on the above facts, that would almost certainly have to be the whole of Robinson’s likely outlay in defending the case. Certainly tens of thousands of pounds. Possibly over £100,000.
If Robinson applies for security for costs, if the court agrees with the application, but then Stuchbery cannot come up with whatever sum is demanded (I cannot think that it would be lower than £20,000; probably far far more), then the claim (the case) will be struck out, possibly with costs awarded to Robinson.
Stuchbery will probably have to raise £40,000+ even to start his case.
I think that my readers will understand better now why I think that Stuchbery has no chance of success regardless of the merits of his case (if any).
Presumably, Stuchbery does understand that, in a case like this, witnesses (he himself, Robinson, others) will have to give evidence, be cross-examined on that, all the while with Stuchbery staying in the UK, perhaps for weeks or even a month or more. Expensive.
Update, 26 November 2019
Stuchbery again applauding censorship, and elimination of free speech and accurate reporting (but then, Stuchbery not being a real journalist but a tendentious pro-“antifa” fanatic, what else would one expect of him?):
Meanwhile, the “Sue Tommy Robinson” GoFundMe set up by Stuchbery’s supporter(s) is running into the sand. The fund is still attracting donations at a daytime rate of about £100 an hour (almost nothing overnight); about £1,000 a day. The rate is slowing and I myself doubt that it will reach its £20,000 target (as I write, the total stands at over £6,600), let alone the £40,000+ really required to seriously launch proceedings in a matter of this sort. Still, time will tell.
I have to concede that it is impressive to see so many donations flood in, mostly at £5 or £10 a time. One every 5-10 minutes as I look this evening. A lot of people don’t like Tommy Robinson. I’m not very favourable to him myself! (I oppose Stuchbery and his type more, though).
I doubt that Stuchbery’s mental health will stand up to what could be an extended civil trial, if it ever gets going. I have blogged previously about the odd fact that so many “antifa” types are on medication for mental problems.
Anyway, looks like he’s gone, at least for now.
Update, 27 November 2019
The plot thickens!
Pre-action letter has gone out to 'Tommy Robinson' alerting him of my intention to take legal action against him.
I notice that Stuchbery has already deleted his “everybody hates me; I’m going into the garden to eat worms” tweet of last night. He must have forgotten to take his medication. Lucky that I copied the tweet to this blog…
As to the “Letter before Action”, such letters were at one time often the only correspondence inter partes before proceedings were issued. Since the advent of the new Civil Procedure Rules [“CPR”] about 20 years ago, there is laid down a whole pre-action protocols for various types of case: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules
I notice that the letter refers only to “harassment” as a head of action (at this stage at least). I notice also that the letter is signed by a solicitor called Mohammed Akhtar. So Eve Solicitors would seem to have at least two lawyers on board.
Speaking personally, this is not an area of law I myself ever dealt with, even after I returned to the practising Bar in 2002 (after 6 years spent away, mostly overseas). It will be noted that the Act itself dates from 1997. The Act covers both criminal and civil proceedings.
However, as a purely civil matter, which this proposed legal action is, it will be heard in the County Court, in all probability, rather than the High Court. The judge can grant an injunction (e.g. restraining the defendant from approaching the claimant or his home, or from doing various acts). The judge is also empowered to award damages.
In this proposed case, the court will not (IMO) order any injunction because the proposed claimant, Stuchbery, lives overseas (and in fact it may be that the proposed defendant, Robinson, has no idea where exactly Stuchbery lives in Germany, meaning his actual address). The Court will not in any event purport to grant an injunction in another jurisdiction. An injunction only affecting England and Wales is possible, but might be considered otiose in a circumstance where Stuchbery is overseas and may never be again in the English jurisdiction.
That leaves damages.
In this case, it may be that Robinson would be able to lay a counterclaim. That will depend on the facts (which I know only in outline, from what I have read).
This case may well require a “window” of several weeks and may be set down for more than 1 week. Perhaps 2 weeks. Perhaps longer (e.g. if there is to be a counterclaim). There may be and probably will be a need to call numerous witnesses.
Despite the Letter before Action, and despite the likelihood that this will be County Court and not High Court, my feeling is that this action will either not proceed, or perhaps may be launched only to founder on the jagged reef of “Security for Costs”. I cannot see that any judge would deny Robinson security for his likely costs, on these facts.
I still think that Stuchbery and his backers are going to have to come up with something nearer to £40,000 to get this matter launched and over the Security for Costs hurdle.
I have decided to publish a separate blog post about Stuchbery’s legal action, to include anything else about his activities that might be of interest. That means that this blog post ends here.
Here we are almost at mid-January 2020, yet so far no sign of either the harassment action threatened against Tommy Robinson by Stuchbery and his cohorts, or even the second fundraising drive for that (disguised as a drive for funds so that Frau Stuchbery can also sue). It will be interesting to see whether either will happen. If not, what happens to the nearly £10,000 already donated to Roanna, “witch of peace”, for Stuchbery’s legal action?
I begin to wonder whether the police and/or Solicitors’ Regulation Authority may not eventually be taking an interest in this crowdfunding activity.
I see on Twitter that “Dr.” Louise Raw, another prolific “antifa” tweeter, seems to think that there will be a defamation action against Tommy Robinson. Not by Stuchbery, I hazard (I suppose that she may be referring to a different potential claimant).
In the meantime, despite claiming on Twitter to have no less than three jobs, Stuchbery, on this Friday morning, seems (what a surprise) not to be working but strolling into town (I presume Stuttgart) to have a leisurely coffee:
Think I've gone a new level of native here. Sun's out, so I've gone into town, despite the stiff breeze, to pick up some Vitamin D and drink coffee.
“Despite the stiff breeze“? Ha ha! Hardly Front Line Stalingrad…
In the meantime, Stuchbery, while drinking his —as it may be— melange or mocha, is still inciting violence online against those who question the “holocaust” farrago:

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

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!
The satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz has been imprisoned.
Yesterday, 23 September 2019, Alison Chabloz was sentenced, at Chesterfield Magistrates’ Court, Derbyshire, to 8 weeks’ imprisonment for breach of condition of the suspended sentence which was pronounced in June of 2018. The oddest aspect of that is that that particular condition was a “social media” ban lasting one year, so it actually expired in mid-June 2019. For the entire year, i.e. up to mid-June 2019, Alison Chabloz did not post on what everyone (except, it seems, minor “judges” —formerly called stipendiary magistrates— in the magistrates’ courts of Derbyshire) regards as “social media”, fora such as Twitter, Facebook, GAB etc. She did, however, continue to comment on her own WordPress website blog, on which she had disabled the readers’ comments section.
It is, admittedly, a long time since I was a practising barrister (2008) but certainly I have never seen a legal definition of what is or is not “social media”, by which I mean one accepted by the higher courts. What I do know is that virtually no-one thinks of a person’s own website as “social media”.
Apparently, the required Notice of Breach was only sent to Alison Chabloz after the year-long “social media” ban had actually expired! In other words, she was allowed (should she wish to and be able to) to post on Facebook or Twitter etc at any time after mid-June 2019; the Notice of Breach referred back to the time when the “social media” ban had been in place. It was like someone warning a second person, as it were, in arrears, in such terms as “do not breach this condition but you can breach the condition now or in future (because it has expired), just don’t breach it in the past”! It was a nonsense “warning”, in short.
Background
In fact, it is clear that the moving force behind this latest persecution-prosecution of Alison Chabloz had almost nothing to do with the privatized probation people, who are obviously just “pay peanuts get monkeys” doormats. The malicious Jew-Zionist “charity”, the “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” or “CAA”, has in fact admitted that it was their pressure on the Ministry of Justice and on (now-washed-up) politician (MP, Secretary of State for Justice and so joke “Lord Chancellor” until July 2019) David Gauke, that caused the probation monkeys and the CPS suddenly (after more than a year…) to get agitato about Alison Chabloz continuing to post on her own blog website. See Notes, below.
Gauke is now sitting as Independent MP, having recently been sacked by the Conservative Party. He is married to a woman called Rachel, a lawyer, and lives in the “Borshch Belt” of South Hertfordshire, near London. He is, or has been, a noted expenses-blodger. A freeloader. He was an active member of Conservative Friends of Israel. His political career is now washed-up.
Here is what the “CAA” had to say about Alison Chabloz being imprisoned:
“District Judge Jonathan Taaffe found Ms Chabloz guilty of breaching the conditions of her suspended sentence after blog posts that she published since June 2018 were found to constitute a breach of a social media ban. Ms Chabloz was handcuffed in court to begin her sentence as her parents, who were in attendance, looked on. The trial in Chesterfield today follows contact between Campaign Against Antisemitism’s lawyers and the National Probation Service.“
Note the (((typically))) sadistic tone: “they” love the fact (if it is a fact) that Alison Chabloz was apparently handcuffed in court post-trial, and that her aged parents had to see that. Despite that, it seems that some of the Jew-Zionists gleefully discussing the matter on Twitter have not quite had their pound of flesh. They want Alison Chabloz to be imprisoned for longer, suffer more etc.
Shakespeare was in some respects the greatest Englishman.
The “CAA” admits to interfering in the probation conditions of Alison Chabloz (see above). The CAA was also the instigator of the original case against her, which was later taken over by the CPS. It was during the preliminary proceedings being taken by the CAA against Alison Chabloz that Stephen Silverman, “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the CAA, was exposed as a sadistic and pseudonymous troller of (mainly) women online, Alison Chabloz being one such. I have blogged about this previously. Please refer to Notes, below.
It seems that what happened here is that the CAA or its contacts pressured venal David Gauke in some way. He, at the time, was Secretary of State for Justice (absurd though that was); Gauke then wrote to his officials in the Ministry of Justice, who then gave both the CPS and the privatized probation monkeys a kick. Says a lot about “justice” in contemporary Britain…
So what now for Alison Chabloz?
[Update, 25 September 2019: Please see tweet by Mark Collett at foot of this article; it seems that Alison Chabloz is not at Foston Hall prison, but at New Hall prison]
Well, the sentence handed down was imprisonment for 8 weeks. Alison Chabloz will thus be in prison for 4 weeks minus the day of trial and the day of the preliminary appearance. By my calculations, she should be free on —or possibly before— 19 October 2019, having spent 26 days —possibly fewer— in prison.
Those days will be spent, it seems (subject to confirmation), at Foston Hall, Derbyshire, a closed prison for women. That sounds grim, but the place seems to be a more serious kind of Girls of Radcliff Hall boarding establishment (the former aspect not too literally, I’m sure).
[Update, 25 September 2019: Please see tweet by Mark Collett at foot of this article; it seems that Alison Chabloz is not at Foston Hall prison, but at New Hall prison; I have posted the details of that prison below, at or near the end of this article]
After Alison has spent her mandated 3-4 weeks in prison, she will be free (as I understand the sentence handed down yesterday) to post both on her own website and on “social media” (as until yesterday understood) because, as explained here above, her “social media” ban expired in June 2019 anyway.
The unpaid work part of the original sentence (i.e. the most obviously punitive part of it) has already been chucked in the bin. The original conviction and sentence itself is now going to judicial review, having failed on appeal at Crown Court level; it may be that yesterday’s decisions will be joined to that review; Adrian Davies, Counsel for Alison Chabloz, has told the newspapers that yesterday’s verdict and sentence will be appealed. In the meantime, Alison is sitting in prison. Whether her legal people can get her released on bail pending appeal or review, I do not know.
Whatever happens in respect of appeal or judicial review, Alison Chabloz will be back posting views and, perchance, songs next month. “They” may be crowing over “their” victory, but what goes around comes around. Already, months ago, some quite high-profile Jews have tweeted (and in one or two cases, published in the Press) their view that Alison Chabloz should not have been prosecuted at all because her public profile has thus been raised greatly. Such persecution also awakens the sleeping masses to the Zionist strategy of trying to destroy freedom of expression in the UK.
The Zionists and their (often mentally-afflicted) “antifa” “useful idiots” have been waging a campaign to destroy Alison Chabloz’s access to online donation platforms (by making “complaint” to those websites), but that is a mere inconvenience which will not stop her.
One thing is sure: if Alison Chabloz was determined to pursue her ideals and beliefs before, she must now be absolutely determined to nail them to public consciousness.

If that is correct, then any cards, letters or books [books must be new, paperback, and sent direct from Amazon UK] should be sent to the following address:
Alison Chabloz,
HMP New Hall,
5 New Hall Way,
Flockton, Wakefield,
West Yorkshire,
WF4 4AX
(prisoner number not known to me, but the name should be enough in her case).
As explained above, it now appears that Alison is at HMP New Hall prison in West Yorkshire. See below for information about that prison, again a closed prison. The authorities seem to have resources aplenty to make sure that Alison is in very secure conditions, unable to terrorise “them” by singing further songs for a few weeks! What a farce this country now is! An emerging dystopia (((contaminated)))…and at present headed by a complete idiot posing as a Poundland Churchill.
It appears that over a third of prisoners at New Hall are (notionally) sentenced to 4+ years and that a small number are even doing life sentences! I wonder what bureaucrat thought to send Alison Chabloz (a singer-songwriter sentenced, in our “free country”, to a notional 8 weeks), to such a place of incarceration? Was it deliberate, to try to make her 3+ weeks of actual imprisonment seem harder? Who, I wonder, was the decision-maker? What was his or her motive?
“A lot of prisons are quite beautiful, in an angry, Victorian sort of way. Not this one, with its hodgepodge of buildings, randomly thrown up at the end of a long lane. True, it was snowing last week, which makes everything look different – quieter, more isolated. But it is definitively outside society, invisible from the road, invisible to the world. It is a remarkable thing, what the people within it have built: a community that is at times very difficult, but also rich and warm.” [Zoe Williams, The Guardian].
Oh well, hopefully it will not be too unpleasant for Alison, and at least she should be out by 19 October. In the meantime, I would urge anyone reading this to send her a book, a letter, or at least a postcard.
Below, tweets about a known Jew Zionist who has tweeted that Alison Chabloz should be murdered in prison. Will the tame (suborned) UK police do anything about such incitement? No. Not if, as here, it is perpetrated by a Jew against a non-Jew.
Martin Hizer wants #AlisonChabloz stabbed (shiv) in prison, he is also a big fan of Irgun and Lehi (Jewish terrorists )…why do @MetCC, @CST_UK and @antisemitism completely ignore Jewish nationalism, these extremists are doing a lot more than just singing an offensive song? pic.twitter.com/FiHYTfajgd
It seems that Counsel for Alison Chabloz, Adrian Davies, is going to try to get Alison bail pending appeal and so will be making preliminary application before the same District Judge (Criminal), District Judge Taaffe, today. The chances are that that will be refused, but after today application can be renewed in front of a real judge (a Circuit Judge), probably at Derby Crown Court, with at least a reasonable chance of success, bearing in mind that
the sentence (in reality less than 4 weeks) is short enough that any appeal would probably not come on before Alison has completed her 26 days in prison, thus rendering the appeal otiose;
the probation people, on the relevant form, were expressly not thinking in terms of a custodial sentence (indeed had, literally, ticked another box); the “judge” did have discretion to ignore that fact, but only if he did so reasonably;
a judicial review of the original sentence and subsequent appeal is already lodged.
Some of Alison Chabloz’s persecutors and me-too stonethrowers:
Mike Stuchbery: Sacked supply teacher (the reasons seem “a little unclear”); self-styled “historian” and “journalist”, who has incited “antifa” violence for several years, a habit which backfired after he helped to organize a form of “home invasion” at the house of Tommy Robinson’s wife. Stuchbery then had a “poor little me” meltdown (see amusing photo, below).
He grifts by begging for donations constantly (to pay his rent, his bills, his trips to Germany etc…), but has now decided that it is easier to live off State benefits in Germany (he’s Australian, but has a German wife), so is leaving the UK soon. Good riddance to the horrible fuck-up.
This, below, is what Stuchbery bravely tweeted after Alison Chabloz was imprisoned (and he says that Alison Chabloz was sent back to prison. She was never previously in prison). Not much of an “historian” (one of his poses) and cannot even get contemporary facts right.
Alison Chabloz, notorious Holocaust denier, sent back to prison after violating a social media ban… pic.twitter.com/V76kQmcenQ
Stuchbery is brave enough when kicking a woman who is down, and unable even to comment about his unpleasantness…
“Slatfascists”: This particular online “antifa” idiot and nonentity is so brave that he once had a near-breakdown when he thought that he was no longer anonymous (he may in fact not be quite as anonymous as he imagines). Here he is, loving the idea of Alison Chabloz suffering in prison:
Hush, moron.
What tasteless stodge do you think Alibobs is eating off a plastic plate with plastic utensils for dinner tonight? https://t.co/58kcD4T9QF
Like Stuchbery, “Slatfascists” tweets and retweets dozens of times daily. Like Stuchbery (and many other “antifa” and pro-Zionist online trolls), “Slatfascists” has mental health problems and is on medication for them. Looks like that medicine is not strong enough.
“Dr” Louise Raw: her “doctorate” (which by English convention she should of course not use as a title, she being neither an academic, a medical doctor, nor a scientist in an official institute— and I suppose that I should add to that list priests and bishops etc in holy orders) is apparently the result of a study about a strike by women in a match factory in 1888); she is an active “antifa” nuisance, another person who seems to spend all day on Twitter, despite her Twitter profile saying “historian” and referencing BBC Radio London (on which she once spoke, apparently). She seems to be anti-Israel yet at the same time supports the Zionists in the UK, as here below, where she retweets a tweet about Alison Chabloz from the malicious CAA “charity”. Very odd.
Alison Chabloz’s songs claim the holocaust was fake. She was given a suspended sentence for broadcasting them. She just tried to visit France, where they’re not fans of Holocaust denial. They’ve kicked her out & banned her for 40 YEARS. Tres bien 👍🏻
Well, there are numerous others of similar type, all or almost all Zionist Jews and/or “antifa” idiots . They must hate it that here we are, only 3 days after sentencing, and Alison Chabloz has already served about 12% of her sentence! Her total sentence is, in real terms, 26 days.
Update, 26 September, 1900 hrs
Alison Chabloz is released on unconditional bail pending appeal.
Alison Chabloz got unconditional bail The judge accepted that since the appeal will not be heard any time soon, she should not be kept in prison pending appeal, as to do so would render the appeal nugatory. She’s out of prison –
Looks as though “Slatfascists”, Stuchbery and a few hate-filled Jewish women in North London and elsewhere will have to increase the dosage of their medication to get through this trying time. Ha ha! Perhaps “Dr. Tim” will suggest that they use the medication he himself is on…
…”and at CAA HQ, bitter herbs were eaten”…
Update, 27 September 2019, 1900 hrs
This (below) really is funny! All the Jew-Zionist know-alls (well, several) vying with each other to say inaccurate things about Alison Chabloz’s situation, the law, the prisons, her bail conditions (there are none: she is on unconditional bail). 1930s people would say “it’s a scream”! “Frankiescar” (Andrew Roberjot, unqualified “legal people” groupie), shows off his defective legal knowledge and reasoning, “Husker_Ju” and others get it almost all wrong (until the truth dawns), while “Rattus2384” (Stephen Applebaum, soi-disant “film critic” and/or house husband…and publicly-exposed Twitter troll) has to tell the others in the end that Alison Chabloz is out of prison, not subject to any conditions, not electronically tagged, able to post freely online (and rather unlikely ever to have to return to prison for the remaining 21 days of her sentence, but they have not cottoned-on to that yet).
(Click on and read the whole thread for the full joke-value)
Alison Chabloz has already blogged in brief about her time “inside”. Turns out that the Jew knowalls tweeting about how she would be subjected to “the full Prisoner Cell Block H experience” could not have been further from the mark!
“All in all, my third experience of loss of liberty was the least unpleasant thus far. Indeed, compared to my first two lock-ups in November 2016 (six hours) and in October 2017 (48 hours) both in police cells, my short time at HMP New Hall was a joy ride.
Single, warm cell; TV, kettle, pillow, thick quilt, mattress, e-cigarette; a view over the prison wall of trees and the occasional glimpse of a squirrel or wood pigeon. Being in need of a good rest (not having been able to enjoy a few days’ holiday thanks to my aborted trip to Paris last month), I lazed, feet up; watched the news and a couple of films; drank endless cups of tea and vaped nicotine, in moderation…“
Likewise, the sick fantasy of some ignoramus (a “Hope not Hate” idiot), to the effect that Alison would be (he implied) attacked by prisoners when incarcerated, was as inaccurate as was his designation of which prison she was being held in.
I believe that Alison Chabloz is expecting to have her main appeal, in fact a judicial review of the decisions of the lower courts (Westminster Magistrates’ Court and Southwark Crown Court), heard by the Divisional Court, i.e. in effect the High Court (presumably at the Royal Courts of Justice in London), on 31 October 2019.
It may be (and I am assuming that such is the case) that Alison’s appeal against the (now partly-served) 8-week imprisonment sentence for breach of condition, handed down by Chesterfield Magistrates’ Court recently, will be joined to the application set down for the 31st.
If the review is successful as a whole, then the prison sentences (suspended and immediate) will fall. If not, and if the consequential immediate imprisonment sentence is left unchanged, then Alison will be returned to prison to complete her sentence, which by my calculations would be a further 21 days actually in the prison.
Beyond that, the only date of importance in relation to Alison’s case would be 14 June 2020, which is when the 2018 suspended sentence ceases to have effect. 8 months from now, Alison will be free from the legal effects of the CAA’s chicanery and will no doubt be singing in satire once again.
Update, 7 October 2019
Alison Chabloz discusses her prison sentence for daring to question an alleged historical narrative. https://t.co/JRuzOcLHST#BitChute
Below, radio loudmouth and ignoramus Julia Hartley-Brewer defends free speech. Strangely enough, she spoke not a word when I was disbarred at the instigation of a malicious pack of Jews, when Alison Chabloz was persecuted, prosecuted and convicted by connected pack of Jews, when Jez Turner was actually imprisoned by the same pack of Jews. I must be missing something. Or maybe not…
When does it all stop? People trying to get other people sacked by pretending to take offence at them expressing their perfectly reasonable and honestly held opinions. We all know where this ends… https://t.co/8fNYvCfXIy
The main news is that, by order of a judge at Derby Crown Court last week, the appeal against the conviction and sentence for breach will be heard in January 2020 before that court. I should have thought that it would be logical to join that to the judicial review hearing presently set down for 31 October 2019, i.e. one week from today, but maybe I am missing some procedural reason why that cannot be done. I have not practised at the Bar for 11 years now, and not appeared on a judicial review (which at one time I did about once weekly) for 24 years! Tempus fugit…
France the country of Charlie Hebdo and #JeSuisCharlie mass protests, has banned Alison Chabloz for 4O years. No tweets from @PrisonPlanet supporting her..
Pack of Jew-Zionist trolls, sub nom “Gnasher Jew”, supporting “Conservative” General Election candidate Robert Largan.
Largan is contesting High Peak, Derbyshire, but is otherwise an accountant who works for Marks & Spencer. His apparent fervent support for Zionist Jewry may be misplaced in that constituency. We shall find out on 12 December.
“Gnasher Jew” again repeats the lie that Alison Chabloz was “imprisoned for hate speech”, when in fact she was given a suspended sentence at Westminster Mags in June 2018 in respect of some amusing songs satirizing “holocaust” hoaxes and fakery, as well as Zionism.
The conviction and sentence is now subject to judicial review (in effect, appeal) this very day in the Administrative Court (High Court) in London.
Her brief imprisonment for breach of one condition of that sentence, imposed more recently at Chesterfield Mags, is also being appealed and that appeal will be heard at Derby Crown Court in January 2020. In the meantime she is free on bail and free to post songs and comment; on paper, she still has about 19 days to serve in respect of that latter sentence, having spent three days in prison and a few days in court.
Adding that Kasey Carver is a well known long term associate of Alison Chabloz, an infamous Neo-Nazi and Holocaust Denier, imprisoned for hate speech.
Alison Chabloz blogs about various matters including the odd behaviour of Robert Largan, the unimpressive little man who is the “Conservative” candidate for High Peak, Derbyshire and who is now making up stories about Alison Chabloz’s supposed connection with the Labour candidate (and present MP) Ruth George via another Labour Party member:
Following the failure of the judicial review application on 31 October 2019, the next court date for Alison Chabloz will be her appeal against the notional 8 weeks’ imprisonment for breach of sentence condition handed down at Chesterfield Mags. The appeal will be heard in January 2020 at Derby Crown Court.
Meanwhile, here is a transcript of the judgment in Alison’s recent judicial review application hearing:
Alison Chabloz will be at Derby Crown Court on 10 January 2020 to attend her appeal hearing against the 8 week sentence handed down by Chesterfield Mags in respect of a charge of breach of condition of her original sentence.
In theory, Alison might, if unsuccessful, face being imprisoned for the remainder of her 8 week sentence (in reality, it was 4 weeks actually in prison, minus days in court, meaning about 23 days, of which she has now served 3 days).
The Crown Court might allow her appeal. If not, then it can impose whatever sentence it decides upon, which might be custodial or non-custodial, and which might be a greater or lesser term than the ~19 days which are presently “outstanding”.
Alison Chabloz has penned a few pre-hearing words on her WordPress blog:
All believers in socio-political freedom of expression should support Alison Chabloz.
Update, 10 January 2020
Alison Chabloz was at Derby Crown Court for the hearing of her appeal against both conviction and sentence for “breach of condition”. The judge was told that “a voluble lobby” (((lobby))) was persecuting her. The judge wants evidence of that [see below!]
The matter has been adjourned until 25 June 2010, and set down for two days.
In an unexpected move (well, unexpected to some), Alison Chabloz, having been released until 25 June on unconditional bail, was then arrested by Derbyshire police drones outside Derby Crown Court, in respect of the (bad law) Communications Act 2003, s.127 (brought in under Blair’s elected tyranny).
I think that we can guess (((what))) and even (((who))) is behind this latest manipulation of the UK police and English law. In fact, Alison was arrested on a previous occasion by Derbyshire “officers”, who seem to have plenty of resources to throw at her and free speech when (((you know who))) make malicious complaint.
This latest crookery seems to prove her point…
Update, 11 January 2020
Further to the main article, David Gauke, the joke “Lord Chancellor”/Secretary of State for Justice (until someone was got at, her alleged “breach of condition” was not going to be prosecuted) lost his Commons seat at the recent General Election. At least that’s one disgusting corrupt blot removed from Parliament. He will not suffer much though, I regret to say. He ripped off the taxpayers royally via fraudulent or semi-fraudulent expenses over the years, and still lives in the South Hertfordshire “Borshch Belt” with his wife (a lawyer called Rachel…) and is, no doubt, scarcely feeling the pinch. He was a very mediocre solicitor prior to becoming an MP, but no doubt “they” will get him a well-paid sinecure in the City of London. Still, one gone.
Further update, 11 January 2020, 1500 hrs
Yesterday’s (10 January 2020) hearing at Derby Crown Court was presided over by HH Judge Egbuna, who remarked that it was “vital” to ascertain whether the decision of the National Probation Service to press for prosecution of Alison Chabloz on the ground of breach of condition had been taken “professionally” or whether the decision had been a result of “political motivation”.
The judge was informed by Prosecution Counsel that the decision to proceed with a prosecution (and so trial for breach) was not taken or initiated by Alison Chabloz’s probation officer, as would be the normal situation; neither was that decision taken by his supervisor. It was the decision of someone above those levels.
Sounds as though the judge is seriously worried by possible interference in the judicial and quasi-judicial processes by (((someone))) or (((some organization)))…
The judge declared that Alison’s trial could not proceed until it had been established on what basis or bases the decision to prosecute had been taken, and by whom. The matter has now been adjourned until 25 June 2020.
That, however was not the end of (((their))) manipulations for the day. Alison Chabloz was arrested at court and taken to Derby Police Station, where she was “interviewed” (interrogated) by detectives about a complaint made by ((( ))). At length, late in the evening, she was given police bail until a date in February, but only on the condition that she not post on her blog or even (unsure; I await further details) the Internet itself. That disgraceful “police-state” prohibition will, I apprehend, be challenged in court before very long.
Well, there we have it. A contrived “complaint” with the sole (main) aim of preventing Alison Chabloz from exercizing her right to free speech (which right “they” have almost destroyed in the UK, aided by “me too” rabbits on Twitter and elsewhere). What other objective? Well, I suppose that it also inconvenienced Alison Chabloz, and their little minds love to do things like that, as witness the false and malicious complaint the same “people” made about me three years ago:
It is about time that the police and CPS woke up to the fact that they are being manipulated and used by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake charity.
England has now become a country in which a police desk sergeant in deepest darkest Derbyshire can decide not to allow a British citizen the right to post on the Internet! “They” have destroyed freedom for their own tribal ends.
Update, 6 September 2020
Well, here we are, a year since Alison Chabloz spent a couple of days in a not-uncomfortable women’s prison before getting out on bail pending appeal.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, as I have explained in other blog posts, but the most relevant fact pertaining to this blog post is that, a few months ago, the Crown Prosecution Service informed Derby Crown Court that the CPS would not be opposing Alison’s appeal.
In short, Alison Chabloz beat both the CPS and the malicious Jew-Zionist “charity”, the so-called Campaign Against Antisemitism, which had instigated all persecution and prosecution(s) against Alison.
Alison will therefore not be returning to prison to serve the unserved 2 weeks or so of her sentence. In simple terms, she won.
Below, we see the supporters of the now-again-imprisoned activist known as Tommy Robinson, scuffling with police and msm employees on College Green by the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey a few days ago.
Police move in as ‘Tommy Robinson’ supporters attack BBC broadcasters on college green. Chants of “We want our country back” pic.twitter.com/CaZszLxqVl
Reporters reported these events as though at the Storming of the Bastille, whereas in fact the clash shows a few dozen, or at most a hundred demonstrators (though the police estimated the crowd of protestors outside the Old Bailey earlier the same day as having numbered about 200).
I do not want to comment on the rights and wrongs of the Tommy Robinson contempt case, but to examine the protests to launch a wider-ranging article. I have in any case written previously about Tommy Robinson:
I should make my own position clear: Ideologically, I am not much on the same page as Tommy Robinson. For one thing, Robinson makes it clear that, like his supporters Katie Hopkins and the tribe of Anglo-American “alt-Right” wastes of space (the main British ones being “Prison Planet” Paul Watson, Carl Benjamin “Sargon of Akkad” and Mark Meechan “Count Dankula”), he is pro-Israel and pro-Jew. This despite the fact that 99.9% of Jews in the UK despise and hate him and his followers. The American “alt-Right” have a word for people like that: “cucks”. Ironic, in view of the pro-Israel stance of many “alt-Right” persons. In fact, in the clip above, you can see some idiot waving a Israeli flag!
Tommy Robinson, however, parts company with the “alt-Right” in that he is able to mobilize fairly large (by UK standards) and very combative (by UK standards) partisan followers. Admittedly, 200 is not very many, but this was on a weekday, when the bulk of Robinson’s supporters are probably working on building sites or driving white vans, if that is not too patronizing. Also, Robinson’s support seems stronger in the North West and Midlands than in London.
I have a sneaking regard for Robinson, in that he is willing to put himself out at the front, is willing to lead “in action”, has a certain courage (others disagree and say that any courage is fortified by others backing him up), and is not by any means stupid, despite some of his behaviour. Also, he has been able to create at least a loose (and undisciplined) street army, or at least a sizeable street “troop”.
Having said the foregoing, Tommy Robinson is not a serious political figure. Even leaving aside the pro-Israel-ism, a few hundred or a few thousand marchers and bottle-throwers do not a revolutionary army make. I blogged about this quite a while ago, in relation to the connected “Football Lads’ Alliance”:
A figure such as Tommy Robinson needs to lead, if anything, not a political movement but the street army of such a movement. In other words, he should be not the overall or political chief but the “street” head of a movement, and subordinate to one with a proper political programme. He himself should understand that.
When Tommy Robinson stood as “Independent” MEP candidate for North West England, he was humiliated, getting 38,908 votes out of 1,744,858 (2.24%). A couple of the “alt-Right” wastes of space also stood, notably “Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin), who stood in the South West England EU constituency for “dead-parrot party” UKIP, whose group (Benjamin was one of 6) received 53,739 out of a possible 1,676,173 (3.24%).
Tommy Robinson and the “Alt-Right”— dependence on Internet platforms
An important point is that both Tommy Robinson and the “alt-Right” vloggers are highly-dependent on the Internet, and particularly social media. Those are the platforms they use in order to get views out to the public, as well as to receive donations, subscriptions etc. These are the platforms which are now being removed by the System (notionally by the platform-owning companies themselves, but this has all been co-ordinated behind the scenes, mainly by the Jewish lobby that the “alt-Right” and Robinson claim to support…).
Tommy Robinson and the “alt-Right” vloggers are not alone in now having their online platforms removed. The persecuted singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz has already been barred from Twitter and YouTube, many others including ex-BNP leader Nick Griffin have gone from some platforms (though so far Griffin is still on Twitter) and I was expelled from Twitter after a co-ordinated Jew-Zionist campaign in 2018 (and am not on Facebook; neither do I have a YouTube channel).
Many others have also had video and payment platforms removed arbitrarily (usually via a fig-leaf of “you are in breach of our rules” nonsense). The Jew-Zionists are behind most of this repression of free speech.
One such is the vlogger “Millennial Woes” (Colin Robertson). Removed from YouTube though still occasionally on Twitter (not posting much and presumably only keeping an account for use as as a private message facility).
There is a general move online to restrict and, in slow stages (thus deflating resistance) to remove, in particular, nationalist or social national people and organizations from the major platforms. That applies also to the “Alt-Right” and its offshoot known as the “Alt-Lite”. In fact, it goes further than that. We have seen how the social media platform GAB was almost taken down by a concerted campaign by Jews and “antifa” terrorists acting in concert with System forces. That almost worked, but GAB managed to survive by switching providers etc. The System has not given up, however…See:
There are now other “free speech” fora emerging, such as “Free Speech Extremist”[https://freespeechextremist.com/main/all] but these have few users compared to Twitter, Facebook etc.
As far as Twitter is concerned, in the UK the Jewish-Zionist element, the mindless “antifa” element, and the politically-correct perpetually-offended element, which all love to “report” and denounce anyone social-national or even mildly nationalistic, have managed to reduce an interesting online platform to a boring and predictable echo-chamber. I certainly do not miss my own Twitter account, though it may be that my followers (3,000 at last count) are impoverished by not having sight of my tweets.
“Freedom” online has been diminished by, primarily, the Jewish-Zionist element. I imagine that many of my readers on WordPress will know of my own experiences in this regard:
The thing here is not just that there is a Jewish lobby, or a Zionist lobby, that tries to shut down free speech (as we now see “them” once again trying to do within the UK Labour Party), but the fact that there is a huge amount of collusion between that lobby and those who might protect freedom of expression but, increasingly, do not: the police, most journalists, professional bodies generally, the Press, the msm generally.
As I write this, there is a backlash from the Press because Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Neil Basu (half–Indian, half-Welsh, and the head of police “counter-terrorism”) warned the “free Press” not to publish leaked documents that might embarrass the government. He has been put back in his box for that, but only in respect of the Press. The general crackdown on freedom by, or with the collusion of, the police continues. In fact Basu, in the police vernacular, “has form” here. He has interfered with free speech issues on previous occasions:
Looking at his background and known history, he has no reason to be kind or even objective as far as British social nationalism is concerned. He is not alone, in any case. The police are now ceasing to be protectors of the British people and are looking more and more like their zookeepers.
Free speech and its ever-more restricted limits
In fact, we hear more and more in the msm about how “legal free speech” could and should be shut down in order to more easily police and/or pacify the crazed multikulti society being created by the forces of evil in the UK. Or as the conspiracy puts it, the “necessity” to “prevent” “legal extremism” which does not reach as far as anything prosecutable (even as far as the cobbled-together recent prosecutions of young persons engaged in political activism: juries are beginning to reject the State’s attempts to crucify young social-national activists, I note). I blogged about this a year or so ago:
In the UK, though the “antifa” idiots have made a number of violent attacks here and there, they are no doubt well-infiltrated by the State monitoring organs and have not attained the level seen in Germany, the USA etc.
However, there are some in the UK who hide behind the false label of “journalist” or “historian” and who use online accounts to incite violence by “antifa” idiots (while themselves hiding away). One such is failed supply teacher (he was sacked some years ago from his last teaching position) Mike Stuchbery, an Australian with mental illness problems (about which he tweets in order to get sympathy), and who is a notorious beggar and grifter, always asking for money from those who read his material. Below, one of his more notorious tweets (despite which Twitter has not expelled him. Ah, I see…he did not say anything about Jews. Of course…)
Mike: I’m not extreme violent left wing antifa communist who from bio loves everyone and hates no one
Stuchbery retweeted the tweet(s) below only an hour before I wrote these words.
They actually don’t care how history remembers them. What they care about is what will happen to them personally in the immediate future. Remind them. https://t.co/0JuF7SI3Of
(for “anti-intellectuals” in those Jews’ tweets, read perhaps “those with whom I disagree” or “those with another view to me and my Jewish antifa friends”).
As seen above, Stuchbery loves to imagine those with whom he disagrees having their skulls broken in, or otherwise killed or injured. It was a different matter, however, when he set up Tommy Robinson’s wife and children for a kind of pseudo-legal “home invasion” (which failed, in the event). Robinson later turned up at Stuchbery’sown Luton-area house, at which confrontation Stuchbery had a meltdown. The “brave” keyboard warrior and “antifa” propagandist was suddenly again just an Australian ex-schoolteacher on the scrapheap, a begging grifter and fake “historian-journalist” with mental problems, blubbing because he cannot control the situation that he himself has created.
In fact, I have discovered that almost all the Jewish/Zionist, “antifa” and other nuisances on Twitter who have obsessively denounced me (and others) have mental health problems and are on medication for them, but I shall blog about them separately. Something for them to look forward to.
In parts of the USA, this “antifa” nonsense has reached levels not seen even in Germany or France. See below.
Like something out of the state of Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale.
In relation to this, it was disturbing to many to see pro-Israel tool Sajid Javid MP, an ex-Muslim (in effect), not only appearing (as Home Secretary) at Scotland Yard and apparently being on good terms with fake charity “Campaign Against Antisemitism” members such as Stephen Silverman of South Essex (exposed in open court as a serial troll and harasser of several women) but even expressing support for “antifa”! Sajid Javid might not be the brightest tool in the box but that really was hard to believe!
When the Home Secretary of the UK openly supports violent sub-terrorists, when the police or elected officials in the UK and USA collude with Jewish manipulators and/or violent extremists of various other kinds (cf. the recent “Extinction Rebellion” demonstrations in London), “democracy” as we know it is on the way out.
So Scotland yard's new Commander is Basit Javid, who conveniently happens to be the brother of none other than Sajid Javid who as Home Secretary is in control of Scotland Yard. See how this works yet? https://t.co/GWN1Z2ZtLM

In tone, the Sun’s “report” is not unalike to the hysterical condemnations seen in the Soviet newspapers at the time of, say, the purges of 1937, the Yezhovshchina.
As for the “democracy” expressed in our system of parties and elections, it has failed. The boundaries of constituencies are rigged to create a faked “balance” between two or three similar parties, as shown below:
Then there is the selection process for candidates (PPCs). Anyone in the slightest social-national is excluded from all three “main parties”, i.e, System parties.
The House of Commons has become the home of, mostly, the very mediocre, often the uneducated, uncultured and stupid. One only has to look at the last few leadership elections of the two main System parties (the LibDems are even less impressive, though that may be hard to believe).
Take Labour: Corbyn is himself not very inspiring or impressive: poorly-educated, effectively a school dropout and, later a dropout from a polytechnic, who has very little real employment or work history, a poor grasp of history and whose wives claim that he never reads a book. Telling. Leaders are readers:
[above, Hitler reads on the terrace of the Berghof]
[immediately above, the library of Vidkun Quisling]
[some people have a bookworm, others have a book-cat…]
[above, parts of the library I once had]
Having said the above about Corbyn, look at those who tried to seize his crown! Chuka Umunna (I, admittedly rudely but oh! how truthfully!, call him Fathead Chuka), Liz Kendall (thick as two short planks and quite likely part-Jew), Andy Burnham (I suppose the best of an appallingly-poor group opposing Corbyn), Yvette Cooper (would-be dictator, hypocrite, freeloader and expenses cheat)…Later, Owen Smith MP, a little Welsh windbag, also tried to topple Corbyn and, like the previous rebels, failed.
Would any of the above-named really have had more electoral success than Corbyn? I doubt it.
Labour is now the party of the “blacks and browns”, the public service workers, and those dependent on State benefits.
Then we have the misnamed “Conservatives”. In 2015, the leadership contest to replace David Cameron (Cameron-Levita-Schlumberger) contained:
Theresa May (a hopeless Home Secretary, previously a local councillor and back-room person at the BACS cheque-clearing body; possible part-Jew);
Stephen Crabb, exposed as a serial sex-pest (and ineffective even at that) as well as so pro-Israel that he could well be termed “an agent of influence”; very poor employment record before getting into the MP racket; expenses cheat; in fact, Crabb is a complete deadhead and will probably find a place in my blog category “Deadhead MPs”;
Liam Fox: unreliable, dishonest, expenses cheat, very pro-Israel, with many links to Israel and covert US centres; considered to have generally “dodgy” lifestyle (see Notes, below);
Michael Gove: expenses cheat, pro-Israel extremist, unreliable, dishonest (and in 2019 revealed as having been a frequent cocaine abuser when he was a pro-Zionist Times scribbler prior to latching on to the MP racket);
Andrea Leadsom: nonentity.
What a useless, mostly dishonest and mostly (in fact, all) pro-Israel pack!
Then we have the 2019 Conservative leadership contest, about which I have blogged extensively already, and which, at time of writing, looks certain to be won by Boris Johnson over Jeremy Hunt. I have also blogged re. Johnson, and if I say that I think of him as Boris-Idiot, my view will be clear enough…(though I do favour leaving the EU).
We have seen, particularly in the past decade, institutions which were basically meant to be “non-political”, politicized: Civil Service, police, armed forces, the courts, the Bar (as witness my own unjustified disbarment). Below, the Financial Times agonizes about the “Conservative” approach to the Diplomatic Service, Parliament and the British Constitution.

Somehow, I cannot recall “The Secret Barrister” (((The Secret Barrister?))) or any one of “his friends and his relations” (with apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury; in fact, I have no idea of the identity of The Secret Barrister or his connections) at the Bar standing up for my rights, freedoms and civil liberties when I was wrongfully disbarred at the instigation of a pack of manipulative Jews, but “that’s life” (and what goes around comes around…eventually):
Still, his tweet gives an idea of what has happened to the justice system, at least the courts, in outline. There is also the crisis in the underfunded, undermanned, badly-run prisons, and the collapse of the Chris Grayling-idiot privatized probation service(s).
“They” are interfering with the justice system, of course, and even with how judges and magistrates are trained to handle supposed “anti-Semitism”:

As we have seen (see above), the UK police (certainly some areas or parts of the police) are well-infiltrated now, and politicized to a degree never seen before:

What about the people?
The British people as a whole have been, in the now much-used phrase, “left behind”, and in fact ignored, as well as being repressed, bullied, lectured to. Whether it is the exploitation of the people as employees or private renters, by speculators, whether it is the epidemic of (mainly) Muslim rape conspiracies, or the dishonouring of the votes of the BRITISH majority who voted Leave/Brexit in 2016 (and if you took away all the non-white votes and those of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Gibraltar, the Leave vote would have been at least 70%…and if you took away the cosmopolitan exclave that is contemporary London, Leave would probably have won 80%), whether it is the banning of free speech (by which I mean free speech on matters of history, society and politics), the real people of the UK are being ignored, the needs unmet, their wishes for a better life laughed at.
The Labour Party is the party of the blacks and browns and other (non-Jewish) ethnic minorities, as well as of the entrenched public service employees. It cannot help the British people.

What about the “Conservatives”? The name is every bit as much a bad joke as “Labour”.
[above, Sajid Javid tries to use his brain]
The cartoon, below, from the George Osborne days of 2010-2015, puts the position succinctly
There is every prospect now that a Boris Johnson (“Boris-Idiot”) “Conservative”-label government will plunge the UK into crisis. I am not talking about Brexit alone (which I supported and still support, but it has been criminally mishandled) but about the sheer ineptitude not only of Boris Johnson himself (bad enough) but of those likely to be made Cabinet ministers around him, deadheads like Matt Hancock (a mediocre suited thug), Priti Patel (a proven Israeli agent as well as being as thick as two short planks), Liz Truss (who basically only became an MP on her back), Chris Grayling (a sociopath who has failed in every single government job he has been given) etc.
There is a real and pressing need now for a proper social-national party and organization in the UK. Anything is possible within the next 10 years.
Soon, sooner than many imagine, those of us still alive will be called upon to re-establish European civilization and culture. That may be hard and may be harsh, but it must be done. God mote it be!
The enemy know that the blacks and browns are breeding fast and will soon make “election politics” a waste of time for social-national parties. Look at the tweet below and its photos. Four young London-resident voters…and three out of four non-European, with the fourth possibly partly-European, maybe something such as Cypriot.
and look at these tweets below, look at the crowd registering to vote in South London! Not a white face anywhere (yes, in the cartoon there are a few whites, but not in the real crowd photographed…).
Some of yesterday's highlights from our voter registration drive at Trinity Baptist Church, South London. 😃
We are beginning to hear news of a UKIP revival, in which the party appears to have lost some of its older, more conservative and ex-Conservative (Party) stalwarts, but gained younger members who are more social-national in inclination. The Guardian has published reports on this:
I have tweeted (before that platform saw fit to expel me) and blogged in the past about UKIP, in particular how UKIP peaked in 2014 and has since then been declining. As the Guardian noted, the nadir came with the pathetic joke leadership of Henry Bolton, but the seeds of failure were always there, embedded in UKIP’s “conservative nationalism”, when what UKIP required was to get rid of nuisances and entryists such as Douglas Carswell and go all out for social nationalism.
The 2015 General election finished UKIP as an electoral force. The absurdly unfair FPTP voting system was to blame: UKIP got nearly 4 million votes (12.6% of votes cast), yet finished with only 1 MP, “libertarian” political idiot Douglas Carswell, who had been a Conservative MP for the same seat for years. By way of contrast, the Green Party received somewhat over 1 million votes and also finished with 1 MP. More absurd yet, Plaid Cymru, Sinn Fein and the DUP all got only around 180,000 votes (0.6% of all votes) and got 3, 4 and 8 MPs respectively! Indeed, the SDLP got 0.3% of votes and finished with 3 MPs, while the UUP got 0.4% and finished with 2 MPs! So the SDLP got three times the number of MPs as UKIP, despite UKIP having been voted for by THIRTY-EIGHT times the number of voters!
The British voting system, and in general political system, is completely unfair, unjust, rigged and broken.
Having said the above, we are where we are. The System parties will not give up their unfair privileges, and that leaves UKIP, in colloquial language, totally screwed.
The 2017 General Election found UKIP floundering under yet another joke leader, Northern lecturer Paul Nuttall; in fact Nuttall, armed with his “university” Certificate of Education degree, only lectured for 2 years (aged 28-30), apparently the only non-political work he has ever done in his life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Nuttall#Teaching_career
The 2017 General Election left UKIP on its knees: fewer than 600,000 votes (a twentieth of the number of UKIP votes in 2015), no MPs (the egregious Carswell having gone to make money in business, and his seat having reverted to Conservative). Again the electoral unfairness: the SNP got about 977,000 votes (in, admittedly, its more limited pool of seats) and ended up with 35 MPs. The Green Party polled again lower than UKIP but retained its 1 MP.
Various “alt-Right” (aka “alt-lite”) personalities have joined UKIP recently, including “Prison Planet” Watson, “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin and “Count Dankula” Mark Meechan. I do not see any of these as social national in orientation. I instinctively distrust them all, and not one of those bothered to post a single tweet supporting me in my persecution by the Jew-Zionists; neither has any one of them posted anything in support of Alison Chabloz nor (as far as I know) those persecuted overseas by the Jewish lobby and/or ZOG, eg Ursula Haverbeck in Germany. They are wastes of space, as are other similar tweeters, bloggers and vloggers.
So what now for UKIP? We hear that Batten has formed a close alliance with the activist who uses the nom de guerre “Tommy Robinson”. The msm and the pervasive Jewish press and general lobby is concerned. Why? Tommy Robinson has always bent over backward to gain the favour of the Zionists, as has UKIP. Despite the new supposedly “far right” (i.e. social national) UKIP stance, an active member has apparently been expelled for tweeting or posting something adjudged “anti-Semitic”. UKIP is still running scared of the Jews, it seems: Farage also always kow-towed, and Douglas Carswell was actually a member of Conservative Friends of Israel (as well as being an expenses-blodger and a complete waste of space).
Until you face the Jewish-Zionist problem squarely and honestly, you cannot pretend to be a political solution for the UK or anywhere in Europe.
Naturally, Europe is facing a two-pronged invasion by Muslims and others, meaning actual migration (whether by speedboats across the Channel or by “legal” means) but also (and equally-important) “invasion by births” or “invasion by breeding”. UKIP is alive, at least more or less, to those dangers. It however is not alive to the fact that European culture and civilization is being eaten away by the Zionist element and/or by those (in Parliament, mass media, decadent cultural strata) under the sway of the Zionists.
We read that the UKIP membership has increased recently by 50%, thus giving UKIP maybe 30,000 members (it reached about 50,000 at peak). Electorally, however, and despite UKIP’s opinion poll support having recently surged from about 4% to around 7%, that is nowhere near enough to get MPs elected, bearing in mind UKIP’s evenly-spread support in England and Wales.
The reason that young and often social-nationalist young persons are joining UKIP is surely because UKIP is the only game in town on the nationalist side. It may only have received 600,000 votes in 2017, but that compares with 5,000 votes for the BNP (the only other broadly nationalist party to contest the 2017 General Election, leaving aside the Scottish and Welsh faux-nationalist SNP and Plaid Cymru). Where else can young activists go? The stupid “Britain First” is no longer a registered party and has imploded; “For Britain”, the anti-Islam one-trick-pony led by an Irish lesbian ex-secretary, is tiny, a joke in every way and destined to get nowhere; Generation Identity is of more interest but is not a political party as such.
The positives? At least the UKIP umbrella is keeping alive a corps of broadly nationalist persons and attracting others. UKIP itself will not get anywhere electorally or otherwise, but might yet prove to be a useful reservoir of support for any properly-led and organized party which might yet emerge.
In fact, UKIP came third, exactly where it was in the previous two general election contests at Newport West, and while its 8.6% of votes looks good vis-a-vis 2017 (2.5%), UKIP got 15.2% in 2015:
This was just a by-election protest vote and a pretty muted one.
Update, April 15 2019
There has emerged to minor prominence the Brexit Party, a vehicle for Nigel Farage. Despite having no policies beyond the UK leaving (really leaving) the EU, Brexit Party is already running at anywhere up to 15% in opinion polling for the EU elections of 23 May 2019.
It is reported that up to 56% of those who voted Leave in the 2016 EU Referendum will vote either Brexit Party or UKIP in any General Election held this year. It is unclear whether Brexit Party would contest a general election, but if not, its votes would presumably go to UKIP. So about 50% of about 52% = about 26% of votes. That might not be enough to win any seats (certainly not, if split two ways), but it would cripple the Conservatives.
Update, 15 August 2022
Well, we know what happened next: Brexit Party reared up like a pantomime horse, looked like it might really amount to something, and got ready to contest the 2019 General Election. In the meantime, it contested the 2019 European Parliament elections, winning 29 seats and so becoming the largest single party in the European Parliament.
Nigel Farage, the “controlled opposition” snake-oil salesman, might have parlayed that success into Brexit Party getting a real bloc of seats at the 2019 General Election. Instead, fearful of Corbyn-Labour, or bought off, he stabbed his own party in the back, withdrew most of its candidates, and so gifted Boris-idiot an 80-seat Commons majority.
Some political leaders are destined for victory, and are of world-historic importance. Others, like Farage, even though they may have a range of talents (in Farage’s case, public speaking ability and a way of connecting with at least some of the public— English people over 50, mainly) just never make the right decisive moves.
The scale of Farage’s treachery was epic:
“On 11 November [2019], Farage then said his party would not stand in any of the 317 seats won by the Conservatives at the last election.“
[Wikipedia].
Farage thus all but ensured that Johnson and the Conservative Party would get a majority in the Commons; the slide of the Labour Party magnified that. Result? An 80-seat “Conservative” majority and, arguably, the worst government for a century or more.
Farage’s 2019 treachery broke Brexit Party, which failed to win any seats, though a few of its remaining candidates did well, in a few cases getting around 30% of the vote.
As for UKIP itself, its one-time membership numbers of 50,000+ had declined, by late 2020, to 3000-4,000, and now (August 2022) may be in the low hundreds rather than low thousands.
I interrupt other blog writing to address an immediate issue. The activist known as Tommy Robinson has now been banned from Facebook, he having already been barred from Twitter. That news highlights again something that I have been writing about, blogging about, speaking about (at the London Forum in 2017) and tweeting about —before I myself was banned or rather expelled from Twitter in 2018— for years, the privatization of public space.
In past ages and, indeed, until about 20 years ago, public space was literally that: the agora of ancient Athens, the forum of ancient Rome, the barricades of revolutionary France, the brief outbursts of free speech in the Russia of 1917 or the early 1990s, and Speakers’ Corner by Hyde Park in London, where a youthful Millard (aged about 21) spoke to fickle crowds a few times in the late 1970s.
Today, the traditional fora of free speech, eg in the UK, are very restricted. Jez Turner (Jeremy Bedford-Turner) made a speech in Whitehall in 2015. He mentioned Jews a few times. That alone was enough (triggered by the malicious Jewish Zionists who denounced him, the supine police who are now so often in the Zionist pocket, the wet CPS who are not sufficiently resistant to the Zionists’ endless whining demands, a Zionist-controlled System-political milieu, and a Bar and judiciary which are frightened of their own shadows and even more of those of the Zionists) to have Jez Turner imprisoned for a year. He served 6 months and was only recently released to live for months more under considerable restriction.
The “public space” which is now most significant is online space. Twitter, Facebook, blogging platforms etc.
I myself was expelled from Twitter last year. I had been the target of both the Jew-Zionists and mindless “antifa” (aka “useful idiots” for Zionism) for about 8 years. I have also had my freedom of expression taken away in other ways, as well as having been interrogated by the police (again at the instigation of malicious Jew-Zionists) for having posted entirely lawful comments on Twitter. I was also disbarred, quite wrongly, for similar reasons.
Alison Chabloz was persecuted, prosecuted and convicted for singing satirical songs in the manner of 1920s Berlin. She is appealing her conviction and the result of her first-stage appeal. She has also been expelled from Twitter (as well as being made subject to a court ban from social media, which bars her from posting until mid-2019).
If Twitter or Facebook ban you, you may have some limited right of appeal, if they so choose to extend it to you. You have no legal right to stay on Twitter or Facebook despite the fact that, in real terms, they are near-monopolies. Yes, I am now on GAB, but GAB has only 500,000 users, if that, whereas Twitter has perhaps 500 million! The fact that, as I believe, Twitter is largely a waste of time, is beside the point.
The point is that, beyond your very limited contractual or other rights qua customer, you have no rights in respect of Twitter or Facebook (etc). Qua citizen, you have no rights at all. You have no right to post, and if the owners or executives of those companies decide to bump you off, off you go, whether you have 50 followers, 3,000 (as I did) or a million.
The Blair law of 1998 [nb: 1998 = 666 x 3…], requiring political parties in the UK to be registered, all but killed any semblance of real political-party democracy in the UK. Now, free speech both online and offline is being, on the one hand, criminalized or subjected to other State repression (at the instigation of the Jewish-Zionist lobby), and on the other hand choked off at source, by companies (under Zionist control or influence) barring dissidents or known activists from even posting dissenting or radical views online.
As to Tommy Robinson, I am not personally one of his supporters, and I deplore his attempt to play the sycophant for Israel and Zionism, but he has some views which are valid, in my opinion.
In any case, freedom of expression is indivisible. It is facile to make arbitrary distinction between some free speech, calling it “hate speech” and so unacceptable, and other speech which is labelled “acceptable” (politically approved) speech. That is mainly hypocrisy. Even my own relatively mild postings are and always have been targeted by the enemies of freedom, of which the Zionists are the worst.
So we have, not only in England but elsewhere (eg in France, under Rothschilds cipher Macron) the same repressive tendency. Sajid Javid, Amber Rudd, Theresa May, others, are enemies of the British people and enemies of freedom of expression. They seem to want to ban all political activity and all political or socio-political expression which does not support the existing System. It is immaterial whether you call it that or “ZOG”.
The System in the UK, in France seems to think that it can slowly turn the screw on repression, controlling the political parties (or setting up “controlled” new ones, as with Macron in France and, perhaps, the “Independent Group” in the UK), preventing free speech by putting the fix into Twitter, Facebook etc, only having controlled news on or in the msm (controlled mass media outlets).
The Soviet Union tried a less subtle form of all that, and it still collapsed in the end. What the System politicians, msm faces and voices etc, fail to see is that a head of steam is building up in the UK (and France) and, if bottled up by the State and those behind the curtain, will eventually explode.
Another example, taken almost at random from Twitter:
As well as censoring our content over the past few weeks, Twitter have now deleted all the people we were following, which in turn means we have lost a ton of followers
Please RT and follow if you’re still right behind us – we have no idea why Twitter is doing this pic.twitter.com/opwxMMr6fX
Another example. A typical pseudonymous Jew-Zionist tweeter (troll), below, exults that a very prominent pro-Corbyn Twitter account, “Rachael Swindon”, has been “suspended” (probably, like me, expelled):
In fact, Rachael Swindon has been reinstated, though only after Twitter’s vice-President for Europe intervened. Why should such people control the online public space? Again, why should the police barge in with large boots and interfere with free speech when no threats are involved? It’s all wrong.
The pro-Jewish lobby freeloader and careerist Tom Watson MP, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(Labour_politician) who has wormed his way to becoming Deputy Leader of the Labour Party (with his eyes on Corbyn’s purple day and night), has attacked Tommy Robinson in the House of Commons and asked YouTube to take down Tommy Robinson’s YouTube channel, which is his last online platform of any importance.
The excuse for Watson’s actions and statement has been the apparent fact that Robinson came to the house of one Mike Stuchbery, a failed (and sacked) supply teacher who poses as both “historian” and “journalist” online, and whose main activity seems to be online advocacy of opposition (including violence, though he usually uses weasel words) to any form of British or other European nationalism. Tommy Robinson has exposed the apparent fact that Stuchbery colluded with others to visit Robinson’s wife or ex-wife at her home. Robinson’s response seems to have been to do something similar to Stuchbery. Tom Watson, in his Commons statement, referred to Stuchbery as “journalist”, based presumably on Stuchbery’s politically-tendentious scribbles for HuffPost and other, smaller, online outlets.
In the end, if someone is prevented from making socio-political expression, that person can either subside into silence, or take other action. That other action might be peaceful, it might not be. When the repressed individual is a public figure with many thousands of supporters, those supporters may also take other action. That might include, potentially, and in the French term, “action directe” somewhere down the line.
Those (of various types: Jew Zionists, the politically correct, “antifa idiots etc) in our society, who crow at shutting down the freedom of others to make socio-political expression should, in the well-worn (Chinese?) phrase “be careful what they wish for”. The Spanish also have a phrase, a proverb in fact: “Do what you will, and pay for it.” Repression of views, not “allowing” people a public platform (and anyway, who is, for example, a blot like Tom Watson to decide who should or should not be allowed to speak?) can only lead to upheaval in the end.
It will be interesting to observe the UK political scene in the coming months and years.
A few tweets seen
A tweet with a few examples of the frequent passive but malicious incitement of violence against white people by “antifa” bastard Mike Stuchbery of Luton:
@MikeStuchbery_ is the coward who Doxxed #TommyRobinson's wife and children accompanied by the Media and a Crackhead. He is a Far Left Antifa Thug who needs exposing to the Whole country.
Below: self-described (fake) “journalist” and “historian” (failed supply teacher and house-husband) Mike Stuchbery inciting serious political violence but trying to deny it…
Below: fake “historian” and “journalist” Mike Stuchbery threatens minor Northern Ireland politico David Vance with a lawsuit. Does he have any idea how much a defamation action (for example) costs? He must have got the idea of constantly threatening to “sue” from the Jewish Zionists and their useful idiots on Twitter, who are always threatening legal action, and who often invoke the “sainted” name of Israel-based “Mark Lewis Lawyer” in this regard. In reality, Lewis is a wheelchair-bound blowhard fake, recently fined by a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for his behaviour. At the Tribunal, he admitted that he often had no idea what he was doing because of his intake of prescription drugs. Oh…and Lewis’s own Counsel said that “he has no assets” and that “his sole possessions are his clothes and a mobility scooter”! See:https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/?s=mark+lewis
This individual has been proven to be an unhinged, hate-filled extremist, who has whipped-up his followers to engage in violent acts. this pathetic weasel should be charged with incitement to commit a hate crime on this evidence – pic.twitter.com/Ec2Yr9AAMM
Something called “Press Gazette” also refers to grifter Stuchbery as a “journalist” (does he have an NUJ card? I suppose that, these days, any wannabee can scribble for peanuts or for free in the HuffPost, silly little online “news” agencies, or for the (now often semi-literate) online msm “newspapers”, and then to call himself “journalist”…and in Stuchbery’s case, “historian”, too!…)
The more serious point here is that “Culture Secretary” Jeremy Wright MP thinks that he is entitled to ask YouTube to take down Tommy Robinson’s videos, Tom Watson MP having already demanded the same. Freedom? Free speech? Free country? Hardy ha ha…
Update, 11 March 2019
and still the tweets keep coming…
You are my favourite tweet thus far. Mike is just an observer? Excuse me for hooting with laughter. Mike is an extremist. It’s documented all over Twitter. He earns a living from incitement not observation. Yet he refuses to take ownership of the effect he has on others.
and Stuchbery has hit back with the piece below, posted on yet another of the plethora of new “news and comment” websites that pose as quasi-newspapers, in this case calling itself the Byline Times
Stuchbery (and many others on Twitter etc) really should refrain from using legal terms wrongly or pointlessly, eg, in that piece averring that Tommy Robinson defamed him. Well, that may or may not be the case, in the lay sense, but any actionable defamation requires publication. I have no idea whether in this case, Robinson published (meaning said or wrote to third parties) any of the allegedly defamatory material via video streaming etc. It seems not. Then there are all the other factors, such as the defences, one of which is that the statements, even if defamatory on their face, are true…
In any case, it costs vast amounts to sue for defamation, though in some open and shut cases it may be possible to find “no win, no fee” lawyers (in the old American parlance, “ambulance-chasers”) willing to take it on, with the help of specialized legal “insurance” (which in my view comes close to champerty, in the old Common Law sense)
…and here we see some supposed “comedian” (comedienne? Never heard of her), by name Janey Godley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janey_Godley , saying that those exposing Stuchbery are “a danger to free speech”:
In fact, I also must have missed seeing any support from Janey Godley for Jez Turner, imprisoned for making, in Whitehall, a humorous speech mentioning Jews and their history in England; neither did I notice the aforesaid Janey Godley (I had never heard of her in any regard until today) tweet anything in support of satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, persecuted by Jewish Zionists, then privately prosecuted by them before being prosecuted by the CPS (under pressure to take over the matter…) and then convicted, in effect, of singing songs.
An example, below, of the muddled thinking of many on Twitter and elsewhere: this idiot, calling himself/herself “66ALW88” (what?) thinks that the way to preserve free speech online is for the online platform companies to “crack down” on, er, free speech online…
Below, a tweet not at all significant in itself (there are literally thousands of unthinking, purselipped nobodies like this Irish “academic”, one Fergal Lenehan, around, all waiting for the chance to denounce people, to “report” to Twitter, Facebook or police, or wanting to ban the free speech of others not signed-up to the System/ZOG mental straitjacket). It is the trend, the existence of a large bloc of such nasty idiots that is of importance.
and here (below) is a well-funded basically Jew-Zionist organization which admits that it wants, inter alia, to stop the historian David Irving from conducting lecture tours. I think the reverse: that those who oppose freedom of speech on political, social and historical topics should themselves be stopped…
The fact that Irving has done this before does not mean that we should allow him to do it again. We have plenty of advance notice to prevent it this time.
Let’s try & stop this grotesque event from happening ever again.

Update, 18 March 2019
Now the cowardly and mentally-disturbed grifter, Stuchbery, continues to try to claim the moral high ground, which is laughable (and note the support from a political cretin, “Leftwing Revolt”, in the thread below, who is a member or supporter of “Resisting Hate” and sees nothing wrong with someone he might disagree with being attacked with an axe! Resisting hate? You could not make it up…). I might not “support” Tommy Robinson, but I prefer him a hundred times over to Stuchbery and the “useful idiots” of “antifa”!
and (below), another little shit like Stuchbery, this time a New Zealander, who positively welcomes censorship and repression (and he is, wait for it…a “writer/director” of film and theater”!). One of the weird aspects of the present time is that those most eager to see censorship and ideological repression are “creative industries” drones, writers, film and TV people etc, and journalists.
and he retweets, approvingly, this (below) announcement of New Zealand governmental censorship. I personally have no wish to see footage of the recent New Zealand massacre, but that should be my choice, not the New Zealand (ZOG) government’s.
Chief Censor David Shanks has officially classified the full 17 minute video of the fatal Christchurch shootings as objectionable.
It is illegal for anyone in New Zealand to view, possess or distribute this material in any form, including via social media platforms.
and…again: the same little shit, one Andrew Todd, does not want the accused to be allowed to defend himself in case he says something the New Zealand government (ZOG) does not want people to hear…
Not everyone on Twitter agrees with the idea of censoring views and people being found guilty as soon as they are accused, however:
So you believe in a system where your proven guilty before your convicted by a judge and group of your piers. Let me give examples of places this has happened: Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, and Uganda during the rule Idi Amin.
Here’s another one, below, a New Zealand journalist positively gagging for censorship (I had no idea that NZ was so ZOG-occupied):
FYI, more useful detail on how the big tech companies are failing to weed out hate speech videos and how they missed out on white supremacist videos https://t.co/lYdO10D2Nr
and yet another virtue-signalling “journalist” who is, it seems, an enemy of both freedom of expression and of the future of the European peoples…
I spent a good part of 2 years reporting on ISIS internet and how the group uses social media — in 2019 it's mind-boggling to me how well the coordinated cross-platform effort to remove them from the internet worked and how there hasn't been a similar one for white supremacists.
The grifter actually makes a joke out of his begging and scavenging!
It's been a challenging – and expensive(!) – couple of weeks, so if you enjoy the written pieces, the history threads, or whatever, you can always make a small tip through my Ko-Fi… https://t.co/Xd2iEmxucQpic.twitter.com/OJ7UGuAzPr
Tommy Robinson has now been banned from Twitter (welcome to the club…) despite (because of?) his being a candidate in the European elections (North West England).

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.
