Case Management: Day 26

The second rescheduling of my Case Management Hearing was to have seen it held at Durham Crown Court on Monday 16 December, five weeks after the original date. But it has now been delayed until further notice. They are on the run.

Whenever my Hearing came, then if the Prosecution still did anything other than drop the whole business, then it would do nothing other than prove the legal advice that I had been given, namely that I was indefensible before a jury in the North East because it was bound to be full of people who would take one look at anyone as well-dressed, well-spoken and well-read as I was, hate me on the spot, and convict me out of spite, entirely regardless of any evidence or lack of it.

That happened to me last time, and it would happen again, so, I have been advised, my only hope was to plead guilty for the reduced sentence, despite there being literally no evidence against me, and pray that that might finally placate the person whose only remaining life's work was to drive me to suicide, a person who was obviously well enough connected to have me arrested and charged at will.

Of course I had already lost quite enough elections here to have known these things for decades, but it was still quite something to be given them as counsel in that sense, to be told that bookishness and articulacy were "sinister" and "deviant" to my peers by whom I was to be judged. This next bit is strictly mine, but I have no expectation that a judge might intervene in the face of the total lack of evidence, since that has never happened to me yet. After all, a judge is a salaried employee of the same State that brings the prosecution, and a judgeship in a criminal court is a salaried and pensionable reward for 30 years of success as a contracted freelance prosecutor. Anyone who has ever dealt with the Crown Court has seen how weighted towards the Crown it was. A judge would have to authorise an assisted suicide, indeed.

Over, then, to the Crown Prosecution Service. Is it going to state that all of the above was its active policy, and the rest of us just had to suck it up? Will it formally endorse the campaign to drive me to suicide? If it did anything other than drop all charges against me at or before my Case Management Hearing, then the answer to both of those questions would be yes. Until then, this post will appear daily.

Strictly Off The Record: Day 74

If you are Douglas McKean, then Oliver Kamm is convinced that you and I are one and the same. I hate to have to tell you that I have never heard of you. He first contacted me about this at lunchtime on 4 July, so General Election day was obviously slow on The Times, and he has promised to involve the Police, from whom I have heard nothing. Anyone with news of any developments, do please contact davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Strictly off the record, of course.

Also please contact davidaslindsay@hotmail.com with any news on the case of Fr Timothy Gardner OP, which was supposed to have been heard at Newcastle Crown Court in July, but of which I can find no trace. While this is not the only arrow in my quiver, unless Fr Gardner was convicted, then the latest accusations against me have absolutely no credibility, and nor does the propensity evidence that alone secured my conviction in 2020, to breach of the suspended sentence for which I wrongly pleaded guilty in 2021, leading to my imprisonment. Fr Gardner's non-conviction is not the only thing that could vindicate me. But it would do so. Any information would therefore be most gratefully received. Again, strictly off the record, of course.

This post will appear daily until further notice.

Justice Delayed: Day 180

Even assuming, and it was far from clear, that the Crown had presented any evidence whatever on the morning of Wednesday 19 June, then no later than the afternoon of Thursday 20 June, I would have been found not guilty unanimously in the time that it took to walk to the jury room and send a note to the judge. On Monday 6 November, the only Prosecution witness did not turn up, having been suspended from the Police. Since then, he has been "asked to resign" because of his conduct of my case. On Friday 14 June, my barrister formally complained.

Lo and behold, on the morning of Sunday 16 June, enough Police Officers turned up at my door to take down an al-Qaeda cell, and behaved roughly as if that were what they were doing. Everyone is laughing, and not at me. Late that night, a nonsense additional charge, quite different from the stated grounds of the arrest, was added, with no expectation that it could possibly stick, but in order to postpone what would have been that week's open-and-shut acquittal. Be at Durham Crown Court on Wednesday 26 February 2025, almost exactly two years, although we dispute the timeline, after the original complaint was allegedly made. When I shall be found not guilty. But the process is the punishment.

Rather than embarrass itself any further, the Crown did not even ask for me to be remanded. Nor did it dispute that the Police had found nothing on my laptop or on my phone, even though the latest allegation therefore cannot be true. And nor did it dispute that its only witness had been sacked from the Police because of my case, or that this latest action against me was a revenge attack for my barrister's complaint, both of which are now on Monday 17 June's record of Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court, as is the cleanliness of my devices, of which the Police are nevertheless keeping possession, requiring me to replace them at considerable expense.

I wish that my solicitor had used such terms as "Mafia hit" and "punishment beating". I am using them now. This is a punishment beating for the sacked policeman. And it is a Mafia hit by some Fredo Corleone, because the latest complaint was supposedly made before I had withdrawn from the General Election, a withdrawal that has rendered it pointless in its own terms. Other than the unpaid position to which I was elected unopposed well over a year ago, and which has therefore been kept vacant ever since, I have no intention of contesting another election to public office.

Welcome to the Starmer State, which institutional Britain has treated as the status quo since Keir Starmer became Labour Leader. I am not the only dissident that it persecutes, and things are already getting an awful lot worse now that Starmer is Prime Minister.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service as part of its organised persecution of the opponents and critics of Keir Starmer, which is its principal national priority.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from seeking the position of General Secretary of Unite the Union on a programme including disaffiliation from the Labour Party, a proposal that would be hugely popular two years into a Starmer Government.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from establishing a thinktank to strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from establishing a weekly magazine of news and comment, a monthly cultural review, a quarterly academic journal, and perhaps eventually also a fortnightly satirical magazine.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from taking journalistic, political or other paid work for fear of losing my entitlement to Legal Aid.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service out of the same racism that has caused it to refuse to prosecute the Police Officers in the case of Stephen Lawrence.

And I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to incite my politically motivated murder, a murder that the CPS has already decided would never lead to any prosecution.

What The Truck?

Syria has adopted a fully Islamist school curriculum that, among other things, denies the country's pre-Islamic history. As much of Syria as Israel did not yet want has been declared the homeland of every Wahhabi, Salafi and Deobandi in the world, and of nobody else. Expect Ahmed al-Sharaa to be proclaimed Caliph very soon. It was of this, the so-called Islamic State, that Shamsud-Din Jabbar waved the same flag that we are all expected to be delighted to see fluttering over Damascus.

Jabbar, Matthew Livelsberger and Ryan Routh all had close ties to what, when they were there, was Fort Bragg, the Army Special Forces headquarters that was named after a man who had committed treason against the United States. Routh visited it 147 times, staying overnight on 29 occasions, despite never officially having been in the military. Or, at least, not in the American one. He, Livelsberger, and Juraj Cintula, the attempted assassin of Robert Fico, were all close to Ukraine, which is a major supporter of the people who have just come to power in Syria, as they are of it. Livelsberger died an active duty Special Forces sergeant who could be identified only from his documents as such, papers that had apparently survived when his body had been burned beyond recognition. He and Jabbar had hired their attack vehicles via the same app. And so on. There is a lot here to unpack and unpick.

Compo, Clegg and Foggy

Before he lost his seat to Jared O'Mara, the once again newly unemployed Nick Clegg had led the more pro-austerity and pro-war party to the Coalition that had ended with that party's loss of 49 out of 57 seats. But Clegg himself is still only 57. The Liberal Democrats must be in dread that he might now be planning a comeback.

Secure in the knowledge that Clegg was on the other side of the world, the Lib Dems have brought themselves back up to third party status, with an impressive 72 seats, and with a leading role in the opposition to the two-child benefit cap, to the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Payment, to the taxation of family farming out of existence, to the 50 per cent increase in bus fares, to the betrayal of the WASPI women (even if they do have some nerve there), and to the genocide of Gaza. Almost immediately, the Coalition felt like longer ago than it had really been. More than anyone else, the Lib Dems want to keep it that way.

Beyond The Wall

Suella Braverman says that she has been to see the wall that Italy built on its land border with Turkey. Some of us got over the Nineties, but others of our generation were permanently damaged. Just say no, kids. Just say no.

But there is tragedy amidst the farce, lightened only by the fact that the remarkable Jody McIntyre came so close to unseating Jess Phillips in July that he would be bound to do so after today if discipline were maintained, while the Labour Party's municipal backbone was visibly collapsing over the Winter Fuel Payment, over the two-child benefit cap, over the increase in bus fares, over the betrayal of the WASPI women, and over the genocide in Gaza.

The Broxtowe Independents are no more "Trots" or what have you than are the Conservatives, or the Liberal Democrats (with whom they agree on all five of those issues), or Reform UK, or any of the four types of Unionist MP from Northern Ireland. They did not join the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. No council has 20 members who did that, or who could be described as "Hard Left", or anything of that nature. They now lead a borough council, with the same Leader as it had before, while having deprived Labour of joint Official Opposition status on a county council. Their candidate will win the Broxtowe parliamentary seat in 2029. Solid back four Labour councillors will be noticing this from one end of the country to the other.

Nemo Me Impune Lacessit

Watching SAS Rogue Heroes, I am pondering that North Africa and the Italian Campaign have tended to be ignored.

My father had terrible trouble liberating the Sicilians because, with his blond hair and blue eyes, they kept mistaking him for one of the people from whom he was doing so. Still, the tomato paste prepared him for Saint Helena in a later life.

He went to Normandy as well, but why is there such reticence about what he and his comrades (in his case the Black Watch; he was an Edinburgh man, but had been born across the water in his mother's native Fife) had been doing before? Is it because they had also been in, shall we say, the Middle East?

Happy New Year

Bus fares have gone up by 50 per cent, an increase of £480 per year for the average worker commuting by bus.

Energy bills have gone up for the second time since October, or the third if you are a pensioner, on the same day that Ukraine has cut the supply of Russian gas to Europe. I am all for energy independence, but it cannot be established overnight.

Romania and Bulgaria have joined the Schengen Area 20 years after, it turns out, Tony Blair insisted on giving big business what it wanted, the absolute right of Eastern Europeans to work in the United Kingdom, whereas France and Germany placed them under the restrictions that were favoured in Cabinet by John Prescott and Jack Straw, many things but always the protégé of Barbara Castle, and on Labour's National Executive Committee by Dennis Skinner and Mark Seddon.

And the New Orleans attacker turns out to have had in his truck the ISIS flag that we were all supposed to be delighted to see flying over a Damascus that was under a regime with scarcely a Syrian or an Arab in it, since as much of Syria as Israel did not yet want had been declared the homeland of every Wahhabi, Salafi and Deobandi in the world and of nobody else. Expect Ahmed al-Sharaa to be proclaimed Caliph very soon. And consider that Shamsud-Din Jabbar was a former United States Army Staff Sergeant who had worked as an information technology team chief for the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team, having been born in Beaumont, Texas. Well, of course.

To Guarantee Security and Stability?

Scarcely a Syrian or an Arab among the newly appointed Syrian military top brass. Islamists from all over, but especially from Xinjiang.

As much of Syria as Israel did not yet want has been declared the homeland of every Wahhabi, Salafi and Deobandi in the world. And of nobody else. As it were, the so-called Islamic State.

Happy New Year.

Case Management: Day 24

The second rescheduling of my Case Management Hearing was to have seen it held at Durham Crown Court on Monday 16 December, five weeks after the original date. But it has now been delayed until further notice. They are on the run.

Whenever my Hearing came, then if the Prosecution still did anything other than drop the whole business, then it would do nothing other than prove the legal advice that I had been given, namely that I was indefensible before a jury in the North East because it was bound to be full of people who would take one look at anyone as well-dressed, well-spoken and well-read as I was, hate me on the spot, and convict me out of spite, entirely regardless of any evidence or lack of it.

That happened to me last time, and it would happen again, so, I have been advised, my only hope was to plead guilty for the reduced sentence, despite there being literally no evidence against me, and pray that that might finally placate the person whose only remaining life's work was to drive me to suicide, a person who was obviously well enough connected to have me arrested and charged at will.

Of course I had already lost quite enough elections here to have known these things for decades, but it was still quite something to be given them as counsel in that sense, to be told that bookishness and articulacy were "sinister" and "deviant" to my peers by whom I was to be judged. This next bit is strictly mine, but I have no expectation that a judge might intervene in the face of the total lack of evidence, since that has never happened to me yet. After all, a judge is a salaried employee of the same State that brings the prosecution, and a judgeship in a criminal court is a salaried and pensionable reward for 30 years of success as a contracted freelance prosecutor. Anyone who has ever dealt with the Crown Court has seen how weighted towards the Crown it was. A judge would have to authorise an assisted suicide, indeed.

Over, then, to the Crown Prosecution Service. Is it going to state that all of the above was its active policy, and the rest of us just had to suck it up? Will it formally endorse the campaign to drive me to suicide? If it did anything other than drop all charges against me at or before my Case Management Hearing, then the answer to both of those questions would be yes. Until then, this post will appear daily.

Strictly Off The Record: Day 72

If you are Douglas McKean, then Oliver Kamm is convinced that you and I are one and the same. I hate to have to tell you that I have never heard of you. He first contacted me about this at lunchtime on 4 July, so General Election day was obviously slow on The Times, and he has promised to involve the Police, from whom I have heard nothing. Anyone with news of any developments, do please contact davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Strictly off the record, of course.

Also please contact davidaslindsay@hotmail.com with any news on the case of Fr Timothy Gardner OP, which was supposed to have been heard at Newcastle Crown Court in July, but of which I can find no trace. While this is not the only arrow in my quiver, unless Fr Gardner was convicted, then the latest accusations against me have absolutely no credibility, and nor does the propensity evidence that alone secured my conviction in 2020, to breach of the suspended sentence for which I wrongly pleaded guilty in 2021, leading to my imprisonment. Fr Gardner's non-conviction is not the only thing that could vindicate me. But it would do so. Any information would therefore be most gratefully received. Again, strictly off the record, of course.

Justice Delayed: Day 178

Even assuming, and it was far from clear, that the Crown had presented any evidence whatever on the morning of Wednesday 19 June, then no later than the afternoon of Thursday 20 June, I would have been found not guilty unanimously in the time that it took to walk to the jury room and send a note to the judge. On Monday 6 November, the only Prosecution witness did not turn up, having been suspended from the Police. Since then, he has been "asked to resign" because of his conduct of my case. On Friday 14 June, my barrister formally complained.

Lo and behold, on the morning of Sunday 16 June, enough Police Officers turned up at my door to take down an al-Qaeda cell, and behaved roughly as if that were what they were doing. Everyone is laughing, and not at me. Late that night, a nonsense additional charge, quite different from the stated grounds of the arrest, was added, with no expectation that it could possibly stick, but in order to postpone what would have been that week's open-and-shut acquittal. Be at Durham Crown Court on Wednesday 26 February 2025, almost exactly two years, although we dispute the timeline, after the original complaint was allegedly made. When I shall be found not guilty. But the process is the punishment.

Rather than embarrass itself any further, the Crown did not even ask for me to be remanded. Nor did it dispute that the Police had found nothing on my laptop or on my phone, even though the latest allegation therefore cannot be true. And nor did it dispute that its only witness had been sacked from the Police because of my case, or that this latest action against me was a revenge attack for my barrister's complaint, both of which are now on Monday 17 June's record of Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court, as is the cleanliness of my devices, of which the Police are nevertheless keeping possession, requiring me to replace them at considerable expense.

I wish that my solicitor had used such terms as "Mafia hit" and "punishment beating". I am using them now. This is a punishment beating for the sacked policeman. And it is a Mafia hit by some Fredo Corleone, because the latest complaint was supposedly made before I had withdrawn from the General Election, a withdrawal that has rendered it pointless in its own terms. Other than the unpaid position to which I was elected unopposed well over a year ago, and which has therefore been kept vacant ever since, I have no intention of contesting another election to public office.

Welcome to the Starmer State, which institutional Britain has treated as the status quo since Keir Starmer became Labour Leader. I am not the only dissident that it persecutes, and things are already getting an awful lot worse now that Starmer is Prime Minister.

The Safeguarding Challenge: Day 537

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and the allegation at the base of any outstanding charge has been made in order to incite my suicide.

The CPS Challenge: Day 537

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service as part of its organised persecution of the opponents and critics of Keir Starmer, which is its principal national priority.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from seeking the position of General Secretary of Unite the Union on a programme including disaffiliation from the Labour Party, a proposal that would be hugely popular two years into a Starmer Government.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from establishing a thinktank to strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from establishing a weekly magazine of news and comment, a monthly cultural review, a quarterly academic journal, and perhaps eventually also a fortnightly satirical magazine.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to prevent me from taking journalistic, political or other paid work for fear of losing my entitlement to Legal Aid.

I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service out of the same racism that has caused it to refuse to prosecute the Police Officers in the case of Stephen Lawrence.

And I am morally and factually innocent of every criminal offence with which I have ever been charged, and any outstanding charge is being pursued by the Crown Prosecution Service in order to incite my politically motivated murder, a murder that the CPS has already decided would never lead to any prosecution.
