How To Get Away With Crimes
After many years of vindictively, vexatiously and maliciously plaguing innocent people, it seemed in February this year that disgraced and deranged former policeman Lynsay Watson‘s campaign of terror might be finally beginning to draw to a close.
Attending the Civic Justice Centre in Manchester as part of an ongoing attempt to persecute the feminist journalist and author Helen Joyce, Watson was intercepted by Greater Manchester Police and arrested in connection with allegations of harassment of several people, one of whom was myself.
Watson had been evading justice for a long time. He provides false addresses to the police and courts (which is a crime in itself), and despite numerous criminal complaints against him he manages to dodge arrest because police forces endlessly ping-pong the complaints between each other (“He lives in YOUR area!” “No, yours!”) and allow him to repeatedly arrange voluntary interviews which he never turns up to, stalling and hiding until the six-month limit on harassment cases times out.
And guess what, readers?
We have no more answers to all the obvious questions arising from that email than you do. (Not least why police still insist on taking the side of transwomen in terms of pronouns, even when talking to the victims of their crimes. That’s not a neutral stance, that’s gaslighting – even while investigating your complaint of harassment from a massive and aggressive bloke, they’re telling you he’s a lady.)
When I made my complaint last year I briefed GMP in detail from the outset about his evasion tactics and suggested several powers they could exercise to locate him, yet none were deployed and he was allowed to get away with it again, dodging several voluntary interviews for several months until I finally told them he’d be at the CJC on the morning of 12 February and they managed to get a couple of officers down there.
Despite time being a critical issue by then, they failed to use their discretionary powers to ask the Crown Prosecution Service to expedite their report (called an “emergency charging decision”) after interviewing him.
(We should note at this point that the email only refers to my own complaint. He was questioned and bailed on at least one more on the same day, and we don’t know whether that one remains live.)
Much of what you’re about to read below is taken verbatim from my detailed and exhaustive initial complaint to the police last year. They cannot credibly claim not to have known what sort of person they were dealing with. Whether their failure to act effectively is down to incompetence, overwork or sympathy with a former officer is a matter for speculation.
Watson is a male who identifies as a female, and has done so for approximately 25 years. His campaign of harassment against me began in February 2023, when he reported me to GMP over some pretty innocuous social media comments about the tragically-murdered teenager Brianna Ghey.
By this time three years had passed since the judgment in Harry Miller vs College Of Policing had been handed down (and over a year since the unsuccessful appeal against it), confirming the rights of “gender-critical” people – those such as myself who observe and acknowledge the reality of biological sex – to express their views freely on transgender issues, even if that caused offence to others.
Watson was sacked from Leicestershire Police in 2023 for gross misconduct after conducting a long campaign of harassment against Mr Miller on the basis of Mr Miller’s holding of those beliefs. His attempt to appeal against aspects of that decision – although he accepted the charge of gross misconduct – was rejected in the High Court in August 2025.
Watson’s complaint against me therefore had no reasonable chance of success, and GMP duly rejected it. Watson forced several internal reviews of the decision, all of which had the same outcome confirming the original decision, and he then applied for a judicial review in April 2024, which was refused.
Watson sought to appeal that decision on 14 August 2024 and was granted permission by HHJ Bird on a single ground. That appeal was heard in February 2025. Judgment was duly handed down by Mrs Justice Hill, who refused the application and also refused Watson leave to appeal in April 2025.
Watson filed an application with the Court Of Appeal anyway, which was rejected on 1 April 2026. (“On the papers”, which is a legal term meaning that there was no oral hearing, the judge simply read the documents and reached a decision.)
The downside of that is that because it wasn’t heard in public, we can’t show you any of the avalanche of mind-bogglingly demented submissions Watson sent to the court during the process, which is a tremendous shame.
I had not been informed by either Watson or GMP of the existence of the complaint until an email sent to me by Watson on 19 February 2025 – two years after the report had been made and despite the obvious fact that I was an Interested Party in the judicial review (and the person he was attempting to have jailed).
However, social media accounts run by Watson had made reference to it.
The reference in the tweet above to “our reports […] since 2019” is notable, since the Spitfire Cannon account was only registered in September 2023.
(The term “FAFO” in the tweet above is an acronym. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary it’s “an expression of warning or schadenfreude”, standing for “Fuck Around, Find Out”, a favorite phrase of Watson’s.)
In March 2024 the same account gloated about the supposed imminence of reports against myself, JK Rowling, Graham Linehan and Helen Joyce to the police after the Hate Crime And Public Order Act (Scotland) became law on 1 April of that year.
(“Shed collapse” is an urban-slang term for “mental breakdown”.)
The account also threatened to “[bypass] the police” with regard to gender-critical campaigners, an apparently threatening term which was not elaborated on.
The account had previously made numerous other hostile posts about me, using my Twitter “tag” to ensure that I saw them, undoubtedly for the purposes of causing me fear or alarm.
After I blocked the account to stop receiving these notifications, it made that intention clear, saying that I “should be” “scared”.
At this point an unexpected champion entered the arena.
(Roddy Dunlop KC, the Dean of Scotland’s Faculty Of Advocates, did indeed then make good on his pledge and represented me pro bono in the hearing before Mrs Justice Hill, alongside my solicitor Elliot Hammer, paid for by the heroic Free Speech Union.)
It’s very clear that “Spitfire Cannon” is Lynsay Watson, for multiple reasons.
However, there’s no need for any supposition or conjecture regarding that matter. The account stated in March 2024 that “I have lodged a complaint with Police Scotland” regarding the actions of JK Rowling, and screenshotted the text of the complaint. It would be a simple matter for any other force to contact Police Scotland and establish the name supplied by the complainant.
What’s in no dispute, however, is that it was Lynsay Watson who filed the complaint against me with GMP and has continued to try to force them to prosecute me for three and a quarter years subsequently, despite a lengthy series of findings (seven, by my last count) from the police and courts that his complaint is baseless.
(In June 2025 he also tweeted implying that he intended to name me as an Interested Party in a separate case, which he’s provided no further details about since.)
In addition, last September he contacted me with a threat to sue me in the County Court for supposed “harassment” and “discrimination” against himself under the Equality Act 2010, demanding compensation of between £35,200 and £56,200 for an article published on Wings about Mrs Justice Hill’s judgment a few days after it was handed down, which also provided some background on him.
As a former police officer Watson will be perfectly aware that the EA2010 does not apply to private individuals, only public authorities. In any event I informed him of this fact in my reply, directing him to appropriate information sources and noting that I considered this obviously-vexatious and groundless threat to be part of a campaign of deliberate harassment contrary to the Protection From Harassment Act 1997.
No proceedings in the County Court have as yet materialised. Nevertheless he then contacted me again by email on 15 September 2025, ostensibly to notify me that I had attempted to pervert the course of justice by posting a link to a crowdfunder to provide defence counsel for Matthew Heath, who has been arrested and charged at the behest of another transgender activist, a male calling himself Stephanie Hayden.
Despite the manifestly obvious fact that any bail conditions which may or may not have been applied to Mr Heath would not apply to anyone else – something which again a former police officer of 20+ years experience would know perfectly well – Watson has already vexatiously reported myself and numerous others (among literally thousands who also tweeted or retweeted links to the page) to the Metropolitan Police for this supposed crime, as stated on his subsequently-banned Bluesky social media account SEEN Police Official Open Public Network (henceforth “SEEN POOPN”).
The only possible purpose of all of these threats, which are without any sort of basis in law, is to cause fear, alarm and distress, and possibly also force the targets to incur significant legal expenses in attempting to protect themselves. (My own case would have cost me well into five figures if not for the FSU and Roddy Dunlop KC, with no prospects of recovering the money from the penniless Watson, whose endless legal actions are paid for by the taxpayer under the Help With Fees scheme.)
He appears to glory in causing, or believing to have caused, such fear.
Despite repeated warnings to stop emailing me, Watson continued to do so, which formed the basis of my harassment against him and his subsequent arrest.
The SEEN POOPN account being operated by Watson was also stated, uncontested, in open court during the trial of Graham Linehan at Westminster Magistrates Court in September 2025 and can be confirmed by the transcript of those proceedings.
While it uses collective pronouns (“we”, “our”), it is in fact the sole property of Watson. In February 2025 its corresponding Twitter/X account referred to “our” application and “our” pre-legal-action protocols in respect of an attempt to instigate another judicial review, in this case against Maya Forstater of the feminist charity Sex Matters. That application was, however, made in the sole name of Lynsay Watson.
In September 2025 Watson alleged – apologies for the unavoidable semantic tangle of the following – that I had reported “us” for harassment, stating that “we” had brought litigation against me. (He also asserted, in a vaguely threatening way, that my report was “not smart”.)
But the sole subject of my report was Lynsay Watson, and the only person who has brought litigation against me is Lynsay Watson. SEEN POOPN was therefore plainly and demonstrably, by its own admission, Lynsay Watson.
Again, while there is in reality no doubt about the matter of who operates Watson’s numerous accounts – he constantly gives himself away in all sorts of ways – it would be straightforward for police to establish who made the complaints to the Metropolitan Police, to obtain technical information about the accounts on Bluesky and Twitter/X from the respective companies, and/or to search Watson’s electronic devices for the relevant information.
(The Twitter/X account for SEEN POOPN was banned in August 2025 after publishing details about the private address of JK Rowling, but they will still hold its details. The banning of the account makes it impossible to link to some of his historic tweets screenshotted below, but again Twitter/X should be able to verify them for the police if their authenticity is disputed.)
Watson appears to blame me – “the Man with no Teeth” – for his banning, although I had nothing to do with it. He comments obsessively about my dental health on the basis of a tweet I posted years ago when an old tooth had to be removed, including a number of posts in which he referred to me as a “pyknic”, which basically means “fat”.
Watson used both accounts, and continues to use new Bluesky accounts despite a string of bannings, to issue a stream of abuse and threats against myself and other gender-critical campaigners. They also interacted with the “Spitfire Cannon” account, behaviour consistent with the modus operandi revealed during Watson’s dismissal from Leicestershire Police, whereby he created a string of anonymous accounts and used them to support each other.
In August 2025, a few weeks before the murder of American political commentator Charlie Kirk, Watson called for the “ethical assassinations” of people he considers “Nazis” and “fascists” – terms he defines extremely widely to include anyone with gender-critical views and judges and police officers he feels do not take sufficient action against such people, including the current Inspector Of Constabulary, Andy Cooke, to whom he refers as a “bigoted cunt”, a “crook” and a “Nazi shitbag”.
In August 2025, he told a sitting MP that “You’re an evil arsehole and you won’t always have bodyguards around you”, which can only reasonably be interpreted as a threat of physical violence.
He continued to express this view after Kirk’s murder, and has made explicitly clear that he considers Kirk’s organisation, Turning Point, to consist of “literal, modern-day Nazis”, and therefore deserving of further murders.
And stated that “It [sic] time we stopped f*cking around with peaceful protests with Nazis”, which can only reasonably be read to mean deploying violence instead, particularly in the context of other tweets sympathising with transgender murderers.
The account openly stated that its intent was to have gender-critical people like myself “fucking living in fear”, and that “nothing is off the card” [sic] in achieving that aim, and that myself and others will “have your life ruined”.
It repeatedly spoke of resorting to “the nuclear option”, without specifying what that might be.
And Watson claimed to have “nothing to lose”.
And that his mental health has been “permanently” “destroyed”.
Such comments are particularly chilling given his previous statements that he would deliver “a grim ending” to gender-critical activists such as Helen Joyce if he wasn’t “inherently peaceful”.
When the account was eventually banned by Bluesky, Watson opened a string of replacements, including “New Model 3” on 20 January 2025, with which he continued to advocate the murder of gender-critical activists, or as Watson called them, “anti-trans extremists directly analogous to high-profile Nazis”.
The NM3 account last tweeted the day before Watson’s arrest on 12 February (it’s possible that he lost access to it when the police took his mobile phone) and has not resumed since, but remains live on Bluesky.
Prior to that it was fond of talking about rifles, particularly in the context of bemoaning American’s unwillingness to use them to kill these “Nazis”.
Something it shared with another of Watson’s replacement Bluesky accounts, “SEEN In Justice”, on which he bragged about his own alleged shooting skills.
That account chillingly called for the “decommissioning” of gender-critical activists, which again it’s impossible to rationally interpret in any other way than murder given its framing by Watson as an act of self-defence against homicide and “genocide”.
“SEEN In Justice” was banned in turn, alongside other short-lived accounts including “SEEN Police”, “SEEN Volunteer”, “unpaid-overworked” and “ado-da-diddly-yay”.
The “unpaid-overworked” one mainly vented his fury at developmental biologist Dr Emma Hilton of the University Of Manchester, who was present at his arrest and who he blames for it although it had nothing whatsoever to do with her, and attempted to incite people to harass her.
He said counter-protestors shouldn’t do so during this month’s “one year since the For Women Scotland” demonstrations because police would be present (what possible valid reason could there be for peaceful counter-protestors to avoid the police?), and that the best method would be to intercept her on her way to or from the event, which he called a “neo-Nazi rally”.
On one of his latest Twitter accounts (which has had several names including “BeKindIsFun” and at the time of writing “DrZeiuss“, and is one of at least four he’s currently operating on the platform, including “Lyn075702557299“, “Sarah Sillymore”, and the unusually blatant “LynsayWatson“), he was more explicitly menacing towards Dr Hilton, and other women who were present to witness the arrest.
Watson is so abominably bad at concealing his endless fake identities that he uses the same themes, images and text across them regularly.
He never makes any attempt to alter his trademark style – personal abuse, threats to doxx people, physically attack people or get them arrested, and wildly delusional “predictions”, in this case his apparently imminent reinstatement as a police officer.
(His pattern of furiously denying that any new sock account is him and constantly talking about himself in the third person, only to forget himself at some point and admit it, never changes either. Much like his inability to correctly use apostrophes.)
And of course, the barely-veiled threats/incitement to murder, justified as an act of self-defence against “Nazis”.
“These people are Nazis. The only good Nazis are in the ground. Take direct action.”
It’s not exactly cryptic, is it? Even the dimmest flatfoot straight out of police training college really ought to be able to decipher that one. Let’s walk through it one more time:
(1) “You are a Nazi.”
(2) “The only good Nazis are dead ones.”
(3) “Therefore you must be killed.”
And this one could scarcely be any more explicit in its ultimatum: “If the police keep rejecting all my unhinged ‘crime’ reports, I’ll hurt someone”.
But after a brief period of diligence Bluesky appeared to lose interest in shutting him down for violating its terms against banned users creating new accounts (Twitter has never cared about enforcing that rule), and his current active account on the site is called “Sub MOA”, which is a term relating to the accuracy of sniper rifles.
It continues his obsession with Emma Hilton.
(Oh look, those repeating phrases again.)
The account repeats his previous calls for people to undertake “direct action” in the form of “decommissioning” gender-critical activists, ie murdering them.
(Because Watson makes clear that he thinks using lawful means to take these people out of commission is a hopeless task.)
“Nothing is off the cards. Deal with them”, he clarifies.
The reduction in the number of people in need of “dealing with” by any means necessary – from 25 to 19 – is curious. Maybe he’s already killed six and nobody knows about it yet. But readers may wish to imagine the response of the police if someone were to tweet even once in such a manner about “decommissioning” 25 leading Muslims or trans people or pretty much any other group. Yet Watson remains at liberty to continually escalate his threats, even after being in police custody.
In messages sent to my personal Twitter account @RevStu last year (after I’d blocked him from my @WingsScotland account), Watson threatened to show up in person at my front door, much as he’d subsequently threaten to do to JK Rowling.
And he’s certainly known to be capable of violence – while a serving police officer (still using his birth name of Alex Horwood), Watson kicked a man unconscious in the process of arrest.
As the footage of his arrest shows, he’s a large and heavily-built man and previously extremely strong, having been a boxer and member of the armed forces as well as describing himself in a January 2000 Daily Record interview as a “5 foot 11 muscle-bound policeman” and “hyper-masculine”.
During his Police Appeals Tribunal hearing in August 2025, Watson told the judge that he “rightly does not seek to excuse [his] online misconduct” and “is now embarrassed by [his] tweets” during his harassment of Harry Miller, but blamed them on being “mentally ill”, at the time, using the past tense.
However, since there has been absolutely no change in his online conduct between then and the present day, it must reasonably assumed he still is mentally ill, and as noted above the SEEN POOPN account recently claimed that Watson’s mental health has been “permanently” “destroyed”.
What we therefore have is a man who by his own admission is mentally “destroyed”, has “lost everything” and has “nothing to lose”, has a known capability for violence, who believes that anyone holding gender-critical beliefs is a “Nazi” and a “fascist” who deserves to have their lives “ruined” and to “fucking live in fear” (and spends every waking moment on a relentless campaign to achieve that end), and that it is morally acceptable, even admirable, to “assassinate”, ie murder, such people.
As one such person, who has been the focus of Watson’s fury for over three years, who is currently still frustrating his attempts to have me imprisoned, and who he’s threatened in a menacing manner to visit personally, I believe it to be a considerable understatement that Watson has deliberately carried out a course of action designed to cause me fear, alarm and distress, and has succeeded in doing so.
(Partly because I’ve previously been victim to similar utterly baseless, ludicrous and vexatious complaints on the basis of my political beliefs, which nevertheless saw me arrested and my belongings impounded for months, causing me thousands of pounds of unrecoverable expense – because I had to replace the seized equipment to continue to do my job – and trauma before being dismissed without charges. Even several years later my heart rate still leaps if the doorbell rings when I’m not expecting anyone, and I’m still sometimes accused of the allegations on social media because they were widely reported in the press.)
I not only believe that he has done so and intends to continue to do so, I also believe there’s a very real chance he’ll attempt to do me and/or others physical harm. He repeatedly refers to being in some sort of life-or-death struggle against evil, to being at the limits of his endurance, and to holding the law in complete contempt for what he perceives as its institutional transphobia and bigotry. He is manifestly dangerous, and by his own assertion.
I know of, and have spoken directly to, at least six other people whom Watson has targeted for similar harassment and who have filed criminal complaints against him, and yet the police have taken no action in any of their cases, denying knowledge of his address and batting responsibility for investigating him back and forth between each other endlessly, despite the fact that he’s required to give a current and valid address to the countless courts and police forces he submits reports and applications to, and it being a criminal offence to provide a false address for such purposes.
He claims to be in receipt of state benefits (it’s highly unlikely he has a job), which also require a valid address, and our understanding is that he drives a vehicle of some kind whose number both Lincolnshire and Greater Manchester Police (at a minimum) are aware of, which also requires a genuine address for registration and insurance on pain of committing an offence.
Instead, as in my case, he’s merely been contacted by email and invited for voluntary interviews, which he agrees to but then fails to turn up for, wasting weeks at a time until the six-month statute expires and the warrant is cancelled. From his career in the police, he’s clearly well acquainted with all the loopholes in their procedures.
He even brags about the police’s supportive gratitude towards him, and claims that they have “advised [him] to carry on [his] lawful work”.
Yet at the same time he accuses GMP of trying to have him “stitched up”.
And openly disrespects the law and those who uphold it, constantly advocating mass “100% non-compliance” with the law as established by the Supreme Court.
Including violent assault on police officers attempting to carry out their duty.
Watson has actively solicited and incited people to disobey the law and physically assault police officers attempting to uphold it.
Which has resulted in dozens of trans-identifying men making such declarations in response to his request.
Including open threats of violence against officers.
These comments are an open deliberate threat to public order. The shocking dereliction of duty of police forces in pursuing complaints against Watson has attracted a growing amount of unfavourable media coverage in the UK and international press, which is doing considerable damage to the reputation of the British police both at home and worldwide.
To the extent that the police and government are fighting each other to disown the actions of the forces acting at Watson’s behest.
(Many of these articles directly cite Watson’s harassment of me.)
And yet incredibly, police continue to allow themselves to be used as Watson’s personal bully boys, while complaints against Watson go ignored.
And not just police. Astonishingly, despite my solicitor Elliot Hammer referring to Watson by gender-neutral terms (“the Claimant”, “the Appellant”) throughout Watson’s failed appeal attempt, Watson whined to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and they made a single finding against Elliot with regard to their rules on “encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion”.
He also attempted to bring contempt of court charges against both myself and Elliot for “misgendering” him, both of which were refused by the Court Of Appeal.
And even though the CoA’s judgment is final and cannot be further appealed, he’s now attempting to embark on a lunatic attempt to take it to the Supreme Court.
Quite aside from his openly-stated attempts to ruin the lives of individuals and cause them to live in “fear” and “Hell”, Watson’s non-stop barrage of police complaints and judicial reviews – none of them with any credible hope of success – must have cost the public purse many hundreds of thousands of pounds in court costs and police time by now, as well as interfering with the hearing of genuine cases in a system already creaking at the seams.
(He admits to having made over 100 complaints to GMP alone, and we know from the evidence above that he also bombards other forces with his drivel too, including Police Scotland and the Metropolitan Police.)
And the police know they’re failing. One of Watson’s other victims was former officer Charlotte Cadden, who he continues to defame on a daily basis. GMP also allowed her harassment claim to time out due to a failure to locate Watson, and last week they admitted that they’d done a rotten job.
GMP have also apologised to barrister Adrian Yalland, who was similarly harassed by Watson and presented them with a detailed dossier so as to give them the maximum possible assistance, but also had to watch as they failed to locate him until the six months ran out.
Adrian, Charlotte and four other people who’d made harassment complaints that failed because of GMP’s unwillingness to locate Watson (Maya Forstater, Harry Miller, Cathy Larkman and Helen Joyce) wrote a joint letter to GMP’s chief constable Sir Stephen Watson – no relation, we hope – in June 2025 warning him about how Lynsay Watson was habitually evading justice.
They can’t say they haven’t been told, over and over again.
Although incredibly they’ve tried to claim just that. This week GMP told me that “we couldn’t have predicated [sic]“ how much time Watson would waste evading arrest.
Even though I told them exactly what his standard tactics were from literally the first day of my complaint (see extract below), and regularly and painstakingly reminded them of it as time ticked away.
But the most staggering feat of ineptitude on the part of the police happened literally as we were writing this article. Cathy Larkman, a retired senior officer also targeted by Watson, was sent a document by South Wales Police relating to Watson’s attempted judicial review of their refusal to prosecute her, which had her home address on it.
Incredibly, they also sent the document unredacted to Watson.
But don’t panic, folks! Having sent a lunatic stalker who regularly threatens to turn up at people’s doors and calls for them to be killed the address of one of the people he thinks are “Nazis” who should be “in the ground”, South Wales Police “recalled” the message and Watson assured them he’d deleted it. Phew, that was close.
I’ve now filed a similar complaint to Charlotte’s. This state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue until Watson escalates himself right over the edge and makes good on one of his numerous threats, possibly costing someone their life.
In any event it’s long past time that his campaign of intimidation and harassment against myself and others was taken seriously and acted upon. Police officers merely having “tea and scones” with him and then shrugging their shoulders when he stalls his way out of yet another prosecution is not acceptable. It’s making a mockery not just of GMP (who on Watson’s telling still regard him as an esteemed colleague), but the entire judicial system.
(We certainly know that the police’s initial advice to Watson when he was harassing Harry Miller – the gross misconduct that eventually lost Watson his job – wasn’t to stop doing it, but simply to be sneakier about it.)
Because of course it’s not just Watson who benefits from the massive double standard applied by the police and other institutions to transactivists. We could all reel off scores of stories where the most ridiculous complaints from transactivists result in people being dragged off by gangs of cops, whereas all manner of intimidation, incitement and actual violence from them results in zero consequences, often with police officers standing around doing nothing.
But, y’know, while Wings does not endorse crime, it must be nice to know that if you WERE to feel like breaking a few laws and harassing a few people and trying your hardest to incite a few dozen murders without having to face any consequences, readers, there’s an easy, tried and tested way to pull it off.
Watson is so dangerous. One of his daft followers will act in his name & someone he has singled out for hate will be hurt or worse. Police forces across the country who pass him around like a prize in a particularly shit game of pass the parcel will be as responsible for that as he is. Their refusal to act is unforgivable.
I have this terrible feeling that i might misgender Nigel Farage. I feel I’m going to bump into him somewhere [probably not Clacton] and say “Pardon me, miss.” and ogle him/her in a saucy manner, like Dick Emery on cocaine. What should I do if it happens? Offer him a twix or just money?
That is absolutely shocking. No wonder the public no longer have faith in the police.
Don’t seriously mentally ill people get sectioned any more?
Asking for a friend…
…that is very grim reading…you have my utmost sympathy for having to put up with this abuse…
Why on earth the Police don’t act on this is unbelievable. Are they waiting until someone gets seriously hurt from this lunatic?
Jeez! All that harassment would’ve driven me round the bend!
I guess that’s the intention tho. Sucked into their crazy orbit & worn down. People shouldn’t have to put up with this.
Under UK law criminal activity, including threats against individuals or groups, motivated by ideology is terrorism. Perhaps a report to the anti-terrorism police + Prevent is in order re. LW and others plus groups like Bashback.
“Under UK law criminal activity, including threats against individuals or groups, motivated by ideology is terrorism.”
Indeed, and British identity is itself regarded as an enforced ‘cultural and political ideology’, as a great many terrorized and colonized peoples discovered.
When did the police cease to be competent? And is it only the police or is it every public authority? I suspect it is all of them, judging by the fact that no-one ever takes responsibility for errors or for not carrying out their duties.
My feeling is that the decline began under Thatcher and continued under Blair. Neither of them had a sense of duty to society as a whole. And look where we are now. The PM serially failing to adhere to proper standards, half [or is it more] of the MPs receiving money from a foreign power, and the RAF assisting in a genocide.
Deepest commiserations, Rev, for the terrible stress this bloke has caused you. I would like to think that he will get his come-uppance but fear very much that he won’t.
The Police have long become a complete and utter farce.
In recent times they have been found to be institutionally racist,
They no longer attend monitored residential intruder alarms, shop lifting of goods under £200, but they can find 6 officers a car and van to pick up a blind OAP holding a piece of cardboard. This gender bender offender has proven to have been outwitting the police for years while making them dance on the end of a string.
They are devoid of credibility and derelict of they duty.
How you keep sane through all this Rev is a feat in itself.
The chaos these barstewards have caused is beyond calculation. Two huge mistakes were made early on: 1) in thinking that these people were anything like gays; 2) in not stating unequivocally what this is. Yes, it is a kind of madness, but, mostly, it’s a madness driven by deep perverted sexual fetish that takes over the entire personality, and standing up to them earns you what you have been experiencing.
In some ways, these men hate other GC men who stand up to them even more than they hate women because they know that these other men, who are not like them, will not pander to them, whereas they think that women are not fully human like them and other men, and can be dismissed much more easily.
I feel heart sorry for you and all the other people. This man comes across as dangerous and so persistent. This is because he is getting away with the harms he is causing. Like an unchecked toddler, they morph into tyrants and narcissistic, spiteful and cruel actors – and the real irony is that they are exactly as they see others whom they accuse of every vice and extremist position there is. I suppose one should feel great pity for someone so obviously out of his tree, but he doesn’t make it easy.
you can’t do much with crazy; you need to give it a wide berth, which is hard on twitter, if you’re a pro journalist and it follows you around. The disturbing part is how the law is siding with crazy; used to be “wasting police time” was a thing, and if you ever had the brass neck to put it to court, you would be branded a “vexatious litigant”, and the fines and fees would kill you (he seems to have no resources and yet no fear of this, which is odd given -cuts- to legal aid). That this thing is an ex cop and knows the details of the procedures, I don’t buy – he doesn’t look high IQ to me, more like he has a protector.
This kind of thing is why I don’t do twitter. The world is full of crazy.
Many years ago now, I read Robert Hare’s “without conscience”, a study about psychopathy; it opened my eyes, for now with a diagnostic tool I could see the behaviours in people. Most worryingly, he claimed the condition exists at 6% in the general public (and additional studies indicate 20% for people who work in finance; but no one has ever measured it in politicians – it could be off the charts).
So, apply this to the number of people who follow or retweet you; there are human hand grenades out there. Think of that great film – “play misty for me”.
Trannyism is innately mentally ill (I would section them all) – you get the worst of both (stereotypical) worlds; the hysterical and emotional bad decision making of women, and the violent behaviour of men, all rolled up in one, just for you.
Candy Darling was a well-passing tranny who was part of the Warhol factory set; “she” sucked off a lot of sailors in “her” time, most of them oblivious it was a dude. Died of cancer, caused by the chemicals/drugs she was taking to make her “pass” better – this was on the advice of Andy Warhol … imagine taking medical/life advice from that fraud, shyster, no talent, vampire of humanity.

it would be sad (if you weren’t on the end of the crazy), to think – whatever problems you have – will be fixed by cutting your dick off and taking a lot of powerful hormones and other drugs; and if you’re a 40 year old fat bloke, how does this extreme body mutilation turn you into the anime princess in your profile picture? No wonder half of them top themselves.
– shit like this almost makes you wish for a bit of islam to sort it all out.
There was a YouTube video that had come into my feed about Norah Vincent, a female journalist who had lived as a man for a year to research a book which was subsequently published called Self-Made Man. Her intention was to show that men had it easier than woman but it turned out to be the opposite.
She came up with observations about the male condition but it is just a unique female perspective that has no relevance to how men actually think, act and perceive the world around them.
Trans activists try to argue that gender is a social construct but it is nonsense. A man can dress up as a woman, outwardly act as woman and try to think like a woman but they will still think like a man and perceive the world through a male lens.
The below link is an interview with Norah Vincent.

It was shown to be a nonsense by the tragic case of David Reimer decades ago. Accidentally castrated by a botched circumcision.
A psychologist told his parents just to raise him as a girl. They did but it didn’t work. Despite this the asshole psychologist was allowed to publish & push his bullshit research papers & books that it was a roaring success. Gender was just a social construct. It wasn’t. Reimer did a Channel 4 documentary about his childhood. He knew he wasn’t right. He later took his own life.
Despite all this evidence they still push the narrative it’s a social construct.
The government push fake “experts” & fake “scientific research” to sell a narrative to the public to hide what they’re really up to. Imo, it’s population control, organ harvesting & experimenting. Maybe these TRAs will “evolve” & grow four pairs of tits this time lol..
Stepford Wives eat yer heart out. Maybe they’re desensitising us in preparation for what’s to come.
Allegedly, the US honed it’s skills from all those Nazi scientists they rehomed after WW2. Their offspring live amongst us & are the tech bro crazy mafia who are very big on the transhumanist stuff & controlling everyone.
There’s a lot of human trafficking that seem to just disappear after they leave Eastern Europe – some under the cover of “charities”. As Candace Owens has uncovered – there’s a lot of military protection going on involving orphanages. Why are American airbases involved in Romanian orphanages? There’s nothing like a sudden war to stop all investigations of where exactly those children were being taken & for what purpose.
The Romanian candidate who won the election fair & square promised to find out..oh wait, nah, “R interference”. Election void. Result not recognised by the EU. He was disqualified from running again. Whit were the chances eh? Saved in the nick of time..
The parents of the “botched circumcision” child were advised by tragically misguided psychologist John Money, whose story features from about 8.47 mins into the following video. The video is of course worth viewing in its entirety.
“Dr Van Meter: The Terrible Fraud of Transgender Medicine”
link to youtube.com
this is all a deep rabbit hole
one thing we distinguished in the past was – transvestite – someone who dresses up for a kinky thrill, and the trans-sexual who truly believes “they were born in the wrong body”; one is just a pervert, the other delusional. They got put together, deliberately, likely to make up the numbers, just like the gays and the lesbians (is there any 2 groups who have less in common and don’t even like each other?).
Then perversion was erased from the clinical mind, we had “paraphilia” instead and everyone had to be non-judgemental and everything was valid. These are dangerous roads to go down. Cross dressing is seen as – usually harmless – drag acts, all that; but it seems correlated with violent offending, Ed Gein, being the daddy of it all. The sickness was being ingested very deeply at the time – you had the likes of Foucault, a fucking kiddie fiddler rewriting western philosophy from the ground up, and Judith Butler, the mad lesbian doing her gender thing with the Professor Stanley Unwin writing style – this is what the arts students were getting fed, and they graduated and they and their students and students students, infest all the bureaucracies – which is why a senior engineer with a lot of work to do, will get sent to an anti-racism “workshop”.
One interesting case : the first transexual in the UK to go all the way and have the surgery (illegal here, he went abroad for it) was an RAF pilot, who even fathered a child. Felt all his life “he wasn’t right” and after the war, had his willie flipped. But here is the interesting bit – he had a chromosomal abnormality, he had male genitals, but he had XX (female) chromosomes, so there was something in what he did. Further he saw what he did as right, as correcting a mistake, but he had no time for, even hated, men with XY chromosomes who went for surgery – that seemed wrong to him.
Another Warhol link – Valeria Solanas – the mad woman who shot Andy Warhol (and largely got off with it, very light touch), formed SCUM, her Society for Cutting Up Men, and she was batshit, even among feminists, but really a trailblazer; she was in favour of trannyism, first of all the idea of men having their dicks cut off appealled to her and secondly she thought men becoming women would allow men to “sympathise with the plight of women” (not really, though)
John Money was not “tragically misguided”, Fearghas. He was a PDfile and made those two boys (the twin brothers, both of who committed suicide) perform sexual acts on each other in front of him as part of his alleged therapy. He was a monster of depravity and coined the name ‘trans’. It now applies to men who are autogynephiles and fetishists, very much in keeping with Money. These men are dangerous liars who try to manipulate everyone around them – and have largely succeeded because so many believe that a) there is such a thing as ‘trans’; and b) that it is anything other than an all-consuming paraphilia. Without the daft women and the children, these men would be recognized for what they are. So long as they stay out of female spaces, don’t encourage young women and children, they are harming only themselves, I suppose.
Confused: that pilot would have been female with XX chromosomes – therefore, intersex or DSD. DSD people are still either male or female and their plight really is a horrible one unless they start to use their DSD status to steal from women. He was probably right that he did not feel right. That is very different from having XY chromosomes, immersing yourself in porn – especially sissy porn – and letting it completely rule your life. It is these men who are dangerous if thwarted, and this chap comes across as one of those. People need to understand that these men will never, ever accept third (or fourth, really) spaces willingly. They want female spaces, full stop because of their paraphilia and/or fetish which controls their every waking moment. Some of the stories that the ‘trans widows and children’ tell are sagas of almost unimaginable cruelty.
Not all are psychopaths, just as not all men who devour child pornography are PDfiles. It is immersion in porn, and chasing the kick to ever-higher levels, as any vice squad policemen/women will tell you. Some of the women involved in this stuff are, indeed, extreme nut jobs and every bit as dangerous as some of the men.

Point taken. Clumsily expressed by me. I of course intended “tragically for Money’s patients”. I do accept that the term “misguided” was inadequate and did not sufficiently hold John Money to account for his utterly damnable behaviour.

Great post about psychopathy from Confused.
Very light on detail about the type of people who call for the establishment of portable gas chambers in Scotland, to deal with those many people Confused disapproves of.
Somebody should investigate the connections between psychopathy, denial and memory loss.
psychopathy runs at 100% incidence in rabbis, imams, spooks, freemasons and city/wallst bankers.
The ironic thing, is Confused, that psychopathy can actually be helpful to society as its expression and influence in those in powerful positions can push society forward – monstrously, of course. When allowed a total free rein, it becomes a poisonous blight on society. Often, the men (it is almost always men) at the top of the tree may be autistic – and that can mimic sociopathy and psychopathy because they do not empathise in the same ways that others do. Top scientists, for example, are notoriously bad at recognising the dark side to their discoveries until it is too late.
Pure psychopathy, narcissism, sadism in people who have no scruples about harming others are, of course, extremely dangerous and society cannot afford to, and should not allow them to, run amok – as this chap is doing. Every shooter in schools and elsewhere has shown that he (or she; there have been a couple of females, too) have been very dangerous for a long time before they act. Their preference is go out with a bang – literally – and take as many others as possible with them. This is why the traits shown by this man – who is no addled teenager, by the way – is a massive red flag. The abiding principle of so many people is me-ism. Look at me! I’m special/important/should be seen! We all have egos but some people have no brakes at all on their narcissism. They simply see no one and nothing but themselves. We are witnessing that first-hand with modern ‘woke’.
Today’s Scotland, legacy of the biggest betrayer in Scottish history, has become the worst banana state in the world.
Rotten to the core.
Hmmm. Bananas don’t have cores.
Plenty of people enjoy bananas so ripe they look half-rotten.
But to be serious for a mo, I see you are another subscriber to the fallacious belief that one wee, gurning-faced woman – a failure at everything she ever turned her hand to – single handedly stopped and turned back a popular movement and a political party stuffed with Scotland’s best and brightest.
I guess it sure beats having to think about what really happened.
The best thing to do with such bananas is to bake some banana bread. Trust me, it is affy fine 🙂
Great work, and a fascinating read. It’s really shocking, but sadly not surprising, to see the police maintain their misogyny and their misplaced loyalty to this disgusting ex-copper.
Credit for the mobile phone footage of Watson/ Horwood’s arrest belongs to me – @charles_hart on X.
Cheers!
Eventually his time will come, he has and is continuing to commit offences which go beyond the summary only offence of harassment, examples obviously include making threats to kill, intimidation of witnesses etc. which are triable on indictment and therefore not bound by the 6-month charging time limit. It will eventually get beyond extremely junior officers who fail to understand the totality of the impact of his behaviour and are just trying to get it off their desks as soon as possible.
Hopefully the trigger event for a more serious examination of this man’s behaviour isn’t him following through on one of his numerous, explicit threats of violence which he likely has the motivation, justification (in his own head) and capability to carry out.
It’s a reality unfortunately in this country that for many people (often women) offences like harassment provided for in laws passed by Parliament are de-facto legalised, because the police refuse to enforce them. We’ve seen numerous examples where violent men have repeatedly threatened and attacked their ex-partners, it’s been reported to the police, nothing is done, and then there’s a murder. A few beat bobbies might find their way into a gross misconduct hearing, but more senior officers who actually have the power to change this culture in the police force rarely do.
Seats projection for Holyrood election in latest poll.
SNP 59 down
Greens 23 up
Reform UK 17 up
Liberal Democrats 11
Labour 10 down
Conservatives 9 down
So two votes SNP didn’t get the SNP that majority, but did elected the party the SNP was saying it wanted to STOP, Reform.
So now you have it their will not be a referendum nor will John Swinney ask for a section 30 when the SNP didn’t meet their own criteria for seeking a section 30.
The only winner is the SNP MSP everyone else LOST and LOST BIG.
Will James now admit he’s wrong again on two votes SNP?
Fair play to you 100% Yes, but two weeks out, I doubt any of the usual suspects are even remotely interested in this stuff.
I see it as an unspoken, unholy alliance. The SNP are in their comfort zone, running Hollyrood, safe in the knowledge they’ve reached the peak of their abilities – dicking about in a glorified parish council.
Indy supporters are in their comfort zone too, their own tribe cocking a snoot at HR, their own fiscal security, benefits, pensions, etc. in reasonably safe hands at Westminster.
At least, safer than they would be if fully controlled by the SNP at HR.
As for you, 100% Yes, I’m positive that two weeks today, in the secret sanctity of the polling booth, you’re gonna put both votes SNP, just like every other die-hard supporter posting on here.
And the more you deny it, the louder and more vociferously you declaim you never will vote SNP again, the more convinced I will be that I’m right.
For you and the rest of the usual suspects it’s your tribe. And without the smothering, comforting embrace of the tribe, you’re less than nothing.
And there, in a nutshell, we see Scotland’s only real, enduring, insurmountable problem.
H McH: when the time comes – and it will – there will be no choice. Either sink or swim in an independent Scotland. It will be quite amazing to witness just how many prefer to swim than to sink. England is going to either collapse into near-anarchy or it will decide that it, too, has had enough and pull the struts out from under us all.
Either way, society is collapsing – slowly, but collapsing nevertheless, and will fall eventually. It is at that point that Scotland will have to decide. Stay with a collapsing and economically finished UK or stand alone and fight for survival. Personally, I believe we will fight. It will not be easy, but it will be in the interests of all four parts of the UK, in the long-term – to stand on their own feet.
This has been the obvious solution since the 1960s. That is far, far preferable, in my opinion, to allowing our entire culture to(similar in all four parts, but also very different in all four parts) to disintegrate under threat of engulfment by forces not compatible with Western society – and I’m not just talking about unregulated immigration.
“It is possible to bring a private prosecution for harassment in England and Wales under Section 6(1) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985. This allows individuals to initiate criminal proceedings for offences like harassment when police or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decline to act”.
Crowdfunder Rev?
Good idea, robertknight. I’m in for a crowdfunder. Though I’d understand if the Rev doesn’t want several more years of hassle.
It is in theory a possibility Rob, however:
– as a private citizen RevStu lacks the statutory powers to gather evidence and to arrest and interview suspects. This may make it difficult to prove in court that all the anonymous accounts belong to Watson. Of course the similarity in language strongly suggests it is, but equally he could claim in court that the other account was simply copying him or he was copying them.
– the 6-month limit for laying information in front of the magistrate significantly restricts the communications that could be used to pursue the charge. There is the possibility of pursuing more serious indictable offences, but funding experienced counsel for a crown court trial is extremely expensive and of course there is no legal aid available. This latter reason is why Watson isn’t going pursuing private prosecutions by the hundred.
Other options include requesting a victims right to review. There is also the possibility of a judicial review of the police forces decisions not to arrest Watson (I.e. turning his own tactic around). There should also be questions to the AG as to why Watson (who is obviously, plainly a vexatious litigant) has not been added to the list of vexatious litigants. It’s really quite shocking. Imagine the profound damage it would do to individuals and to the state if even a tiny fraction of people started behaving like this, the legal tools are on the statute book and yet the authorities just sit on their hands!
Or just vote for somebody who promises to “drain the swamp”.
Boot out the ECHR.
Take a chainsaw to the thickets of human rights legislation that allow lowlifes like the one under discussion to run rings around decent law abiders.
It’s gotta happen soon. It’s gonna happen soon. We have a chance to start it happening in Scotland in two weeks time.
Vote Reform.

I got to here:
“modus operandi – personal abuse, threats to doxx people, physically attack people or get them arrested, and wildly delusional “predictions””
And lost the thread of who was actually being discussed.
Bring back Rabbie. He could write a cracker of a poem about this kind of thing.
Perhaps it’s one of those rare aspects of human endeavour where we Scots really do lead the world.
Self-pitying men can be like unexploded devices – when it dawns on him that nobody will ever rise to his incitements he might go postal.
A new fiscal year just starts and GERS takes an early hit, whilst Scotland dodges a bullet by having the wrong type of oil and only getting allocated a population based percentage of Extra-regio revenues.
West of Shetland, the FPSO Glen Lyon offloading hose winch fails and the tanker docking valve and 200m of hose spool out and break off ending up on the sea floor 500m below in amongst all the subsea infrastructure.
That’s about 70,000 barrels of oil a day (about 650,000 per tanker offload every 10 days) not going to be transferred for a good while until engineers work to recover the hose and valve and rectify the damaged equipment.
This is a hell of a piece. It is in fact, a proper piece of work – a description which could also in another sense be levelled at our infamous AC/DC EX-PC as I prefer to call Mr Watson. He is a right piece of work.
Stick with it Stu!! We need you!
Thank you for all you do for whats right.
Scotland is England’s prisoner.
In the year of our Lord, 1642, a chap called Richard Lovelace quilled oot these words to his girlfriend while he was imprisoned and pining for her sweet embrace:
“Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage…”
Tho Dickie’s sentiment – expressed in rhetorical hyperbaton – was true for him as he was literally a prisoner held in a prison cell, the same cannot be said for the Scots…. there are no walls or iron bars that make a cage for the Scots.
What, then, is the true nature of the prison that holds the Scots tight in England’s grip?
Some Scots are in a prison of their own making.
Jailer
Northcode @ 12.31.
“What is the true nature of the prison ?”
Many factors are involved, I’d suggest, Northy. A major one being the glaring venality, croneyism, incompetence and political correctness extremism of the devolved SNP administration from 2014 to the present day. An administration which, for the majority of the time, was held in the iron grip of a lady whom I believe (purely personal view) was effectively a functional sociapath.
Had Mr Salmond remained as FM after the 2014 referendum I suspect that he could have, building on the exceptionally competent governance of Scotland (Pictland to cater for you individual preference), maintained the optimism, solidarity and expectations of the Scots electorate. And more and more voters, together with a rising number of younger people attaining voting age, would have had a greater and fuller vision of just what an independent Scotland could be.
Unfortunately I believe that many Scots have witnessed and experienced the misery, incompetence and self interest which has characterised Holyrood for some 12 years now and have simply “turned off” from politics.
In fact, I’d suggest the new national motto is, “They’re All the Same”.
Until an entirely new approach comes on the scene I fear that the “invisible prison” will remain.
I’d suggest that the rise of Independent candidates grouping together under the common goal of Scottish independence is the most encouraging political effort for many years.
That’s a reality they don’t want to hear about. Flag waving and marching and blaming the English colonial fantasy. Is it any wonder someone with political skills wouldn’t touch them with a stick.
Leave them to their prison Sven. They are happy in hate.
“together with a rising number of younger people attaining voting age, would have had a greater and fuller vision of just what an independent Scotland could be.”
———————————————
Many of those are still at school or have only just left. They have no experience from which to gain a “fuller vision”.
If it thinks like a nutter and writes like a nutter, there is an excellent chance that it actually is a……………….nutter.
“it thinks like a nutter”
Indeed, which explains why the colonial mindset is considered ‘a disease of the mind’ (Memmi).
Because it is not ‘normal’ for ‘a people’ to ‘crave dependence’ on another supposedly ‘superior’ culture (Cesaire), and to reject their own liberation, to refuse their own freedom, and instead opt to remain in a colonial cage.

“…it is not ‘normal’ for ‘a people’ to ‘crave dependence’ on another supposedly ‘superior’ culture…”
There can be no rational circumstance where English culture is considered superior to that of the Scots.
This is especially true in the way the two entirely different peoples organise their communities.
For where the English hold the wants of the individual higher than the needs of the group, Scottish society has long been characterised by a strong sense of community and collectivism.
The raising of the community above the individual is just one of the reasons the Scots are more welcomed by other peoples around the world than are the English, who are frequently shunned… especially by those peoples formerly oppressed under the weight of imperial England’s colonial rule.

If men like the subject of this article were genuine they would have had surgery. In reality they are actors, hired by the globalist elite to cause fear, strife and confusion, and to encourage gullible youth to opt for sterilization for the purpose of population reduction. Obviously an independent Scotland would be a spanner in the works for globalization, hence the attacks on the author, and Alex Salmond and other activists or whistleblowers. The present batch of SNP MSPs have also been hired by Mr. Global, usually because they have been compromised by earlier misdemeanors (such as being a corrupt solicitor for example). This also applies to nearly all MSPs and MPs. I believe, if we were to become independent we could be a force for good in the fight against this process – bringing down the UK would be a good start! But we must first acquaint ourselves with the nature of the beast, by reading other sources of information on world politics.
‘CONSIDERING A SEX SWAP? THINK AGAIN’, WARNS DETRANSITIONER
A detranstioner who once took male hormones and had a double mastectomy, now describes herself as “a happy, confident woman”.
Aerin, from Sheffield, said that when she spoke to doctors as a teenager questioning her gender, she was not offered therapy and her autism went undiagnosed; instead, she was ushered onto a transitioning-pathway of drugs and surgery.
After 15 years of ‘misery’, during which time she battled with anorexia and was diagnosed with autism, Aerin chose to stop taking male hormones. Now 34, she shares her story to help other gender-confused young women.
MISDIAGNOSED
Aerin believes now that she never should have been given sex-swap drugs. She explained: “The whole investigation into changing my gender wasn’t thorough enough. I was unwell with anxiety and low self esteem at the time and nothing was picked up on.
“All I did was fill out two assessment forms. I’d researched the answers so I knew what to say to get what I thought I wanted.”
She said that she was “so thankful” that long waiting lists meant she never underwent bottom surgery. Aerin described how she felt pressure to “stick with” the cross-sex hormones, as detransitioning “felt too difficult and I wasn’t sure how people would react.”
DETRANSITION
In December 2024, Aerin decided to stop using her male name ‘Aaron’, changed her clothes, and texted everyone she knew to tell them she was no longer identifying as male: “I knew detransition had been in my mind for years. I thought, ‘well it will be hard but anorexia is harder’”.
She recalled that, when her beard stopped growing back, “things started to feel easier”. She added: “It was such a great feeling to get my periods back, I never knew someone could be so excited about a period.”
Aerin describes how she is “just happy to be me”, but warned: “If you’re considering a gender transition think twice, talk about it as much as you can.
“If you’re a woman and you feel like you don’t belong, this doesn’t mean you’re not a woman.”
MALPRACTICE
Earlier this year, an autistic woman who underwent a double mastectomy at just 16 years old was awarded $2 million in compensation.
In the first verdict of its kind, a jury in New York State gave Fox Varian $1.6 million for pain and suffering, with $400,000 for future medical expenses.
According to court documents, the now 22-year-old was diagnosed with autism at 14 and struggled with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. The following year she started questioning her gender, but just five months before her surgery she reportedly told a counsellor that she was still unsure of her ‘gender identity’.
Speaking in court, Varian said she quickly realised that the procedure was a mistake: “I immediately had a thought that this was wrong, and it couldn’t be true. It’s hard to face that you are disfigured for life.”
