🚨Lawfare Update🚨

Thinking I was going to be in court, it was just a hearing & they found against me. I have instantly appealed.

I'd be very grateful if you could help me towards my legal costs. Defending freedom of speech & obtaining justice is not cheap.

Thank you.

@daveatherton @grok how many slaves are there in the world today?

Are the stats I have here accurate?

If a partner treated me this way, it would be recognised as abuse—coercive control. Yet when local authorities behave in the same way, it is somehow considered acceptable. This has been happening to me for years.
I feel trapped in a situation that I cannot escape, living in constant distress while those responsible face no accountability. It feels like I am being ignored, dismissed, and left to endure something that would never be tolerated in any other context.
I know I am not the only parent going through this, which makes it even harder to understand why it continues unchecked.
I am living in what feels like a personal hell, and despite everything, no one seems able to help not even legal

I’m truly amazed and grateful to see this thoughtful article about my two books, written in Hindi and published on MyInd. net
The author, Alkesh Patel, has captured the core message of my work with real clarity and depth.

If you read Hindi, I highly recommend going through it. Even if you don’t, just click the link - most browsers will offer to translate the full article for you.

A big thank you to the reader who shared this with me. It’s wonderful to see the message reaching new audiences.

Both books are available on Amazon and Apple - the epubs are available in India.

SNIPPET STORY OF JEN SURVIVOR.

I’m sharing this for young Jen, who often feels left out and less important than other survivors when the subject of “grooming/rape gangs” is in the media spotlight. @Ms_Jen_Survivor asked me a long time ago to delete all the accounts she’d shared with me to post, and she always treads carefully dipping into X until it gets too tough, and she steps back for a time. And it’s good that she is wise enough to do that!

But being heard is such a big part of recovery, and with Jens permission I’m sharing a very brief outline of the many years of horror Jen experienced…..

When Jen lived with her parents, from the age of 6 she suffered many years of rape and sexual abuse by some white men. She also was abused by her parents by beatings and emotional degrading abuse. They allowed the abuse to continue and did not protect her, and did nothing to stop it. Her mother sold her information to a Pakistani abuser Evil A.

Over a period of 21 years Jen was repeatedly drugged, raped, beaten and tortured by numerous of Pakistani abusers including some Pakistani professionals, main abuser Evil A and some of his family members. Jen was forced taken to them by main abuser Evil A to many different towns and cities in the uk.

Jen was also treated badly by professionals police, social services and support workers who knew and did nothing to protect her and some been paid by Evil A to turn a blind eye and got rid of evidence.

Jen is very vulnerable has a mild learning disability and due to abuse Jen now suffers from depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, ptsd, bpd, panic attacks, flashback, low self esteem, trust issues etc.

Jen is now being supported by amazing lady her PA Support Worker who always been there for her since 2017. Jen is also being supported by me, Tommy Robinson and others.

Jen is still at high risk needs to remain anonymous and hidden for her safety, but I know it helps her to know a tiny part of her story is here, shared safely and to know she too matters.

It’s the least we can do after the pain and trauma she’s endured for most of her life ❤️

🚨Today's Must Read🚨

HENRY NOVAK COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. According to Adam Gwiazda @delestoile, he quotes NHS doctor Dr Krzysztof @DrMagier 🇵🇱, who is a Paediatric Critical Care Lead, the answer is possible.

He "analyzed footage from a police body camera showing Henry Nowak's death. Dr. Magier heads the pediatric intensive care unit, with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds).

"He disagrees with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had no chance of survival and that handcuffing him essentially changed nothing. On the contrary—there is a high likelihood that the police intervention contributed to his death.

"He analyzed the autopsy report, which points to damage to the subclavian vein as the main source of bleeding, and explains where the problem lies. In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the naturally forming clot, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding.

"The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was conscious enough to speak quite loudly. He was therefore not yet in a terminal state. After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely stretched, the clot torn, and bleeding dramatically intensified. Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and died.

"People with suspected internal injuries should never be moved or yanked abruptly—such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal haemorrhage. Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police handcuffed him. If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been much higher. "50%"—writes Dr. Magier.

"Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation.

"Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional Major Trauma Centre equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment.

""I am convinced that if Henry had arrived there alive, the doctors would not have let him die""—writes Dr. Magier.

"In summary: the aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away.

""I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police""—writes Dr. Magier."

Did your officers kill him @HantsPolice?

It’s not just the PM, every political figure, notable media personality, celebrity, sportsman, influencer—and above all every serving policeman—should now take the knee in public for Novak and much else besides. It is a cost-free gesture of physical rhetoric that might, just might, bleed off some of the explosive tension now building across these islands.

They invented this symbolic act and once urged it on with fanatical insistence. Today they cannot perform it. That inability is the tell.
To take the knee is not a polite nod of respect; it is ideological submission. It was always a rhetorical bludgeon designed to force public signalling of allegiance.

Refuse it and you declare for your tribe; perform it and you declare for the other. Such overt tribal markers only become urgent when people sense the approach of real stakes—when security feels fragile and the ancient business of friend-and-foe calculation begins. We are on the cusp.

Britain’s culture war is no longer a metaphor. It is the prelude and the recruiting sergeant for something uglier. Rotherham, Oldham, Southport; grooming scandals airbrushed for decades; two-tier policing that can no longer be denied; official reports shelved while 2024’s rioters were branded 'far-right' and far larger provocations ignored—these are not isolated failures.

They are symptoms of a profound cleavage over who we are, what our laws still mean, and whose side the state is truly on. When the institutions meant to protect the vulnerable instead shield the predators and gaslight the public, legitimacy begins to haemorrhage.

James Davison Hunter, who popularised the term 'culture war,' feared symbolic struggle would harden into actual conflict. He was right to be afraid. British strategists who still treat this as mere noise—something separate from the 'real' wars that preoccupy them—do disservice to their craft. 

Wars are not always tidy ways-ends-means calculations within the bounded world of soldiers and statesmen. Sometimes they erupt volcanically from below. This is not outside Clausewitz’s trinity; it reveals its terrifying malleability. 

When the passion of the people becomes dominant, the army can become spectator, and a state that has lost legitimacy finds itself unable even to guarantee its own survival.

The tribes are already counting their numbers. History is brutally clear on what follows when they stop trusting the state to keep score. A simple kneeling could once have signalled magnanimity and bought vital time. The fact it is now impossible for one side shows how late the hour truly is.
