The Plague
Ever-alert Wings readers will be aware that for the past three and a half years or so I’ve been the target of a campaign by disgraced former policeman Lynsay Watson, who over that period has relentlessly attempted to get me arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned for knowing – and saying – that human beings can’t change sex.
(As we’ll learn during this article, I am far from unique in that experience.)
Watson has made numerous ludicrous, vexatious complaints to various police forces about me – a particularly memorable one being when he reported me last September for “perverting the course of justice” because I’d tweeted a link to a fundraiser for someone being persecuted by another transactivist – as well as trying to extort tens of thousands of pounds from me with threats.
Yesterday, though, he finally found some police officers gullible enough to listen.
The first I heard of it was in mid-April this year, when I was away catsitting and got a phonecall one morning from a woman claiming to be an officer of “Bath Police”, which immediately made me suspicious because the local force is called Avon & Somerset. The woman explained that she was investigating a complaint of harassment against me and wanted me to come in for a voluntary interview, although she said that if I declined I’d be arrested. (Would be, not might be.)
I said I’d need to verify who she was first, so asked her to send details by email or text so I could be sure she was the police and arrange things with my solicitor. She agreed, but then hours turned into days turned into weeks and I heard nothing, so I assumed it had been some sort of twisted “prank” by Watson or one of his associates like “Sophia” Brooks or “Freda” Wallace, who notoriously love to troll gender-critical people.
Then in the middle of last month I got another phonecall from an unfamiliar number, this time at 1.30am. It was someone else claiming to be a police officer – this time a male – demanding that I submit to being arrested and hauled off to Keynsham Police Centre about 10 miles away, right there and then, in the middle of the night. He was most insistent that it couldn’t wait for a less absurd time, because “regulations”.
(He hadn’t actually mentioned arrest on the phone – he repeatedly assured me that it would just be a matter of “having a quick chat for a few minutes to clear everything up”, but luckily for me I’d heard that particular line of bullshit before. As he subsequently admitted – see the pic below – he’d have arrested me if I’d opened the door, which would have meant being in a cell until I could get hold of a proper solicitor at maybe 9am, who’d then have had to drive down from Manchester IF he was available that day, so I’d have been locked up for at least 15 hours before we even got started.)
Once again I said I’d have to verify his identity first, and I was still in the process of checking it from his email when people started ringing and battering on my door (I didn’t know who, you can’t see who’s at the front door from inside my house, but I could make a pretty good guess), at what was by now 2.15am.
Fortunately a couple of fellow Watson targets were still up at this unsociable hour, some of whom were lawyers and former police officers, and by happy chance so was my crime-fighting associate Roddy Dunlop KC, as he happened to be several time-zones away that week, where it was still a civilised hour.
Fortified by wise counsel from such experts, I ignored the hammering on the door until it went away, and immediately contacted the Free Speech Union (pretty much the last bastion of civil liberties in the UK – please join up if you can, you never know when you might need them), who by later that day had set me up with a solicitor, Daniel Berke, with extensive experience of dealing with malicious transactivists.
Daniel got in touch with the male officer, secured an apology for what he admitted had been “inappropriate” and “not ideal” behaviour the previous evening, and set about arranging a voluntary interview – though only after the officer had tried to lie to him that I’d “misled” him about previously refusing one, which I hadn’t done, and which they’d been using as justification for arrest and seizing all my internet devices.
(By doing a voluntary interview, and admitting that I was the editor of Wings, we were able to forego the device seizure. The last time I was arrested on the basis of an utterly ridiculous complaint from a loony who was opposed to my political views the Metropolitan Police had taken every desktop PC, laptop, tablet and phone from my house, kept them for three months before deciding there was no case to answer, and then refused to bring them back. I had to spend over £5,000 replacing them all in order to keep doing my job in the meantime. Transactivists know this is police procedure, and deliberately make malevolent reports in the hopes of causing victims huge amounts of trouble and expense even if they’re not charged. And it works – to all intents and purposes I’d been “fined” five grand, not to mention months of living in absolute dread, even though I’d done nothing wrong. It was years before I’d answer the doorbell again if I wasn’t expecting someone.)
So at 3pm yesterday I met Daniel, not outside the only “police station” in Bath I knew about (actually a small unit inside some council buildings), but in Redbridge Business Centre, a rundown unmarked office building hidden round the back of a Ford and Kia dealership on the outskirts of town, shared with a community salvage organisation, which I’ve walked past a hundred times without the slightest inkling it was Bath’s central law-enforcement hub.
Single-sex toilets, though, so that’s something.
An officer came out to meet us, who turned out to be the one who’d called me in April – a slightly-built, bespectacled young woman of maybe 24-25. We went in and I waited in the grubby hallway outside the Share & Repair office, with a small library of books and jigsaw puzzles to pass the time, while Daniel went through “disclosure”, which is when the police tell your solicitor what you’re going to be questioned about, at which point Daniel appears to have read her the Riot Act, for reasons we’ll get to in a moment.
Then I was called in, we went through all the preliminaries, and the officer brought me some water in a cute Cadbury’s Mini Eggs mug (“We don’t have any glasses, sorry”). She read me the standard caution, which now comes with an interactive questionnaire whereby they read you the caution, explain what the caution means, and ask you three questions to see if you’ve understood it.
OFFICER: “Do you have to say anything in this interview?”
YOU: “Um, no?”
OFFICER: “Correct.”
(I swear I’m not making that up. I was so weirded out by the question I had to actually think for a couple of seconds before answering.)
Then it was finally time to get down to business. She told me the complaint was that I’d published a number of “false and demeaning” articles about Watson, and that I’d “repeatedly misgendered” him.
At this point Daniel interjected to get on tape the fact that I was attending the interview under protest – having been told that I would definitely be arrested otherwise – that misgendering someone was not an offence and was in fact a legally protected right, that reading articles about yourself that upset you did not make those articles criminal, and that if you felt someone had written something about you that was untrue the correct remedy was a civil claim for defamation, not calling the police.
He said that nothing he’d been shown in disclosure came even remotely close to the threshold of a crime, and that any attempt to charge me would result in a lawsuit. Daniel is quite fierce.
Nevertheless the officer then began her questioning, asking me how I’d come to be aware of Watson. I gave her the highlights of his life story, starting with reading about his sacking for gross misconduct in 2023 (on my birthday, trivia fans) and then learning that by that point, unbeknownst to me and while still a serving police officer, he’d already been trying to get me arrested for six months.
As I then ran through his extensive track record of dodging harassment complaints, filing baseless crime reports, frequently calling for the murder of gender-critical figures, repeated doxxing of JK Rowling, social media bannings, arrests and all the other unpleasantries Watson fills his tragic life with – and I must confess I went on at some length – I could see her facial expression slowly imploding. It seemed very clear to me that she knew absolutely nothing about Lynsay Watson before yesterday.
(She visibly winced when near the end I noted that Watson had made at least 300 police complaints and the only one that had resulted in anyone being taken in for questioning before me was the one he made against Graham Linehan, and that the final outcome of it, just last month, was the Metropolitan Police issuing Graham a grovelling apology accompanied by a cheque for £25,000.)
She asked a few questions to clarify some of the stuff I’d said, and then said she was going to show me some things I’d published online and ask me about them. I’d expected to be quizzed on some of the extensive articles we’ve published about Watson, and had detailed and comprehensive responses ready for anything I thought the police might even remotely be able to consider in some way objectionable. (Though of course all of it was in fact wholly legitimate journalism about significant news events.)
But hold onto your bunnets, readers, because that wasn’t how it went.
She started off by showing me this tweet.
What was its purpose, she enquired. “It’s a joke”, I said, explaining that one of the excuses police had used for their being unable to locate Watson when people made harassment complaints about him and he was evading arrest was that the police thought he was living in a caravan or campervan somewhere, so when the Telegraph article appeared it seemed to present an opportunity for a little satirical joshing.
Oddly, she seemed a lot less concerned with a fugitive repeatedly evading the police on serious allegations than with someone making a mild joke about it.
(I pointed out that my Twitter bio does contain a “possible humour” warning.)
Then she asked about this one:
which is fairly plainly the same joke again, but using a satirically-edited version of the image that someone had tweeted or sent me in response to the first one. (The “AC-DC PC” line is taken from an old Daily Record headline about Watson being sacked from another police force in 1997.)
She then showed me this tweet, which I’ve censored very heavily partly out of sensitivity but also because I don’t want to identify the person who posted it and have transactivists send over-excited constables to hammer on their door in the early hours.
It’s an AI-edited version of one of the pics taken on the day of Watson’s arrest in February over harassment allegations from at least two people (one of whom was me), made to look like Watson had turned up at Manchester Civil Justice Centre wearing only a filthy nappy.
It’s pretty horrible, but humour is subjective, it doesn’t break any laws that I know of and more to the point, it wasn’t posted by me, it wasn’t retweeted or quote-tweeted or linked to in any way by me, it wasn’t a reply to any tweet of mine and I have no idea who the person who posted it is.
I duly explained that to the officer, who offered no explanation whatsoever as to why she’d apparently thought the tweet was anything to do with me (presumably the answer was simply that Watson had said so), and… the interview was over.
She told us she had no more questions, and Daniel and I looked at each other with “What?” expressions on our faces. Avon & Somerset Police had apparently just spent 10 months – Watson had complained at the end of September, in revenge for my complaint against him – investigating two innocuous, near-identical jokes about a caravan, and a completely unconnected tweet by someone else entirely.
The only possible explanation for the inclusion of the third tweet that makes ANY sort of sense is as a tool to extend the deadline for a harassment case. Ordinarily those have to reach a charging decision within six months, but that period can be extended if the “course of conduct” continues after the initial complaint.
(“An information” there means “presenting the charge to a magistrate or JP”.)
The caravan tweets were made on 3 October 2025, which means even if you were cuckoo bananas enough to consider them as any sort of harassment, the six-month limit expired on 2 April 2026, days before even the initial mid-April phonecall from the female officer, let alone the July one from the male officer. Including the February tweet from someone else altogether would give them – by whatever twisted logic they were using to connect it to me – up to next Friday to charge me.
(I haven’t yet been notified of any official decision.)
Readers may have noticed the somewhat stark contrast in the way that numerous police forces have adopted a “can’t-be-arsed” approach to at least six legitimate complaints from different people against Lynsay Watson, and yet – and despite his astonishing track record of literally hundreds of obviously malicious and baseless complaints BY him – still leap to act as his personal goon squad to terrorise innocent people for entirely lawful beliefs and comments.
Is it misplaced all-cops-together solidarity/empathy for a former colleague? Is it merely staggering incompetence and jaw-dropping ignorance of the law? Is it professional indoctrination? (It may be pertinent that Avon & Somerset has a particularly woke imbecile for a Chief Constable whose main driving focuses appear to be diversity and inclusion rather than, y’know, fighting crime.)
We don’t know. What we CAN be sure of is that Lynsay Watson will continue to spend every waking moment of his life spewing out hopeless malign complaints in the hope that once in every few hundred attempts he’ll get lucky and find a gullible cop who’ll bang on someone’s door in the middle of the night and terrify the bejesus out of them.
It is absurdly overdue that someone in a position of authority sits down and examines the simply astounding amount of taxpayers’ money and police time he’s wasted on his vicious, demented vendetta against everyone who knows what biology is, and his long string of incitements to murder, and either labels him a vexatious litigant, puts him in the dock, or preferably both.
In a country where Lucy Connolly, a mother who’d never been in trouble with the police in her life, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for a single intemperate tweet that was visible for less than four hours, Lynsay Watson is allowed to explicitly incite murder and violence for political reasons over and over again, and to lodge endless harassment complaints against people he himself has been arrested for harassing, while he’s still on bail for harassing other people, after he was sacked by the police for repeated, obsessive harassment.
And if his victims (or as he calls them, “key propagandists” and “Nazis”) talk about it, the police will go out to arrest them.
As Daniel and I left the police station, we struggled to find words for the absurdity of what had just happened (and as an experienced solicitor, Daniel’s been party to some pretty damn absurd cases). When I tell lawyers and cops and legal types about it and show them what got my door battered on at 2.15am, most of them struggle to manage more than “WTF? FFS!”
Even as we speak, though, you can be certain that Watson is simply doubling, tripling and quadrupling down, making more spurious complaints, filing more doomed judicial review applications, and whipping up more hatred and death threats. Like a rampaging bull in a china shop, his blind, hateful, furious thrashing and bellowing results in a trail of civic destruction, loss of faith in the forces of law and order, public expense and damaged lives, and he proudly boasts that he’ll “never ever stop”.
Despite the events of this week, Wings will continue to report on his activities until hopefully, one day, the relevant authorities finally tire of his ruinous, uncontrollable rage and do something to give innocent people some peace.
Jeez, is there no end to the uselessness of the constabulary. There must be some redress for these baseless accusations and over zealous dimwitted response. Please tell me there is some kind of complaints procedure you can invoke.
This is unbelievable Rev. I’m so glad the excellent Free Speech Union were able to assist you against this new spate of ludicrous lawfare from that mentally ill goon. The UK police are becoming the laughing stock of the world and need major reforms. No better example of the path to hell being paved with good intentions 😐
Just sending love and hugs. You need both for what you have been put through.
You are a brave man. I am not, but any funding calls you make in the future will not be ignored, even though I can’t offer much.
The banging on your door at 2:15 am sounds like a breach of the peace to me.
Spot on, El President, you’d rightly consider locking up someone battering on doors in the middle of the night. General standing instruction in Scotland is for no warrant enquiries (where an actual Sheriff has issued an apprehension or mean enquiry warrant)to be conducted at after midnight and before daybreak. Exception would be a Firearms Warrant and even then, you’d be advised to go early morning on so-called ‘dawn raids’ which are about executing serious crime warrants, often with armed support. I’m astounded the Bath polis have cops available for such mundane enquiries at dark o’clock – thought they’d be tied up with queues at central custody and babysitting mentally disturbed vulnerable people in hospitals. Or patrolling their beats, guarding and watching to prevent crime and detect offenders. Watson is a disgrace but he’s being enabled by supplicant fools. Semper Wings.
Is there any kind of restraining order available to you, as a target of his harassment? If that requires a crowdfunder, count me in.
Here’s my tuppence worth.
This has got MI5 all over it. The quality polis, just as the judicial bollocks, are MI5’s useful idiots for getting to someone who is possibly moving closer to uncovering several political truths. Just like Glinner, you’ve been targeted.
I really think this goes far higher than the 12-yr-old stasi employed by the polis heid the baws. They’re not smart enough.
Didn’t even need a tinfoil hat on.
All the very best, Rev. Huge respect.
Plausible.
There’s plenty of evidence too about the woke subversion of the police. From taking the knee about Floyd, to openly siding with the tea towel mob, to ruthlessly persecuting those who refuse to play the pronoun game within their own ranks.
It’s all in the public domain.
It’s at least possible that Watson is being aided and abetted by former colleagues.
It is, indeed, plausible, H McH, as the Rev must be a thorn in the side of the authorities whom he skewers regularly. However, others have also suffered the same hounding without being on-line journalists who pinpoint the failings of the authorities.
I think this mentally deranged person is just that, but, yes, there ought to be some kind of mechanism whereby he can be classed as a vexatious litigant. The police themselves could petition the courts for such an order. The harm he causes and the cost of his incessant harassment of individuals could also be stopped under the Mental Health Act. It is just that there are so many different types of these people – obviously insane ones, transvestites, autogynephiles, etc. – whose brains have been addled by copious consumption of porn – and the downright vicious and malicious who are sociopaths and psychopaths.
Rev, first of all, I am so sorry for the hell you have been put through. Most of it unnecessary – it only required the police to behave like decent and intelligent people.
I can’t think of a way to force the police or courts to take action against Watson – as a vexatious litigant, at the very least. It would take a word from an authority who they couldn’t ignore i.e. a Government figure. Perhaps a letter to all MPs, demonstrating the cost to the State, might find enough support to result in some action against the police and/or Watson?
That doesn’t work anymore Sarah. I tried that yesterday, sent material to 160 Members. All individually addressed, no spam. Yesterday I got acknowledgements of receipt. Today I got at least one hundred “We cannot touch you unless you live in the constituency” further replies.
These days it’s all about maintaining plausible deniability and a comfortable life for cowards.
@ John Cleary – good on you for trying.
Jeezo, what you go through for us all! Thank you. But what jumped out at me was that Ian Livingstone put out a press release about Polis Scotland being “institutionally racist” about the same time as Sarah Crew. What are the chances? link to scotland.police.uk
Just incredible. I read the other week about how many of the ludicrous actions of the plods recently are down to poor-quality, inexperienced recent recruits taken onto replace those bods let go during austerity. Let’s hope they get more help, or are let go.
(Incidentally anyone else thinking the sentencing of Lucy Connolly was unjust might be better reading the Court of Appeal findings when upholding her sentence. Her lovely words were retweeted almost one thousand times and read by 370,000 people. Which, when you’re calling for people to be burned alive, is rather more impactful than ‘a single tweet deleted after four hours’.
“Calling for people to be burned alive”? Or saying she doesn’t care if it happens? Two very different things. As a comment on an article where the writer had to practically justify every comma, one would expect readers to be accurate with their allegations.
Sorry to be an irritant in Wokeland, Ian, but Connolly didn’t call for anybody to be burned alive.
Why don’t you react to reality, not to what you imagine in your sorry heid?
“Set fire to all the hotels full of the bastards”.
Direct quote from the tweet. I now look forward to your own sorry heid trying to explain that one away. And I don’t live in Wokeland, so another cliche might have to be dusted off there.
Ta ta.
Sorry, Ian, but I can only assume you refer to a migrant as a hotel.
Nobody else does. Must be a woke thing.
Respect though, for republishing her tweet. Hope you don’t get 31 months too.
Ian Morrison: it would be interesting to learn the basis upon which you think that the Lucy Connolly tweet called for people to be burned. I did as you suggested and read the relevant document. I have been using English language for numerous decades and have been shown no use of language which called for that burning.
With all due respect to the professionals involved in the case, I wonder, given the evidence of their linguistic capacities, how they have come to be employed in their roles. It is an act of imagination to proceed from a statement showing lack of care to an accusation of advocacy.
It is time to emigrate, and make enquiry of Mr. Muir as to his thought processes.
Ian, yuou laft out part of the tweet, “….for all I care”. That omission is the act of either a dishonest person or an ignoramus. Which would you prefer?
Liam Muir is a joint propieror of the firm which ensured the conviction of Lucy Connolly. It looks like a defensive arrangement that The Law Society Gazette pubished an article in his favour after his client was convicted.
Ta Ta Ian, you were faulted by the person they call the site prick, he did better at reading than you did. Itrust that you will answer my questions from another comment.
You have been using the English language for decades? yuou laft out mention of how good you are at spelling. I taught the language for 34 years, and I did find that display of expertise quite funny.
Seriously, it is possible to defend SC against the ridiculous harassment he has suffered without defending the racist bile of LC. “Set fire to all the hotels full of the bastards for all I care”, whether or not you include those last four words, is plainly inflammatory language (Ho Ho) to anyone who can read and doesn’t labour under the tendentious agenda your marvellous levels of literacy have brought you to support. Say those words in a public statement and you will be nicked: publish them online, to a far larger audience, and voila, same result. Presumably you support the investigation into Heather Herbert’s tweets about Anne Widdecombe? Sauce, goose, gander.
No point either in blaming Liam Muir for LC’s conviction when it was upheld by the Court of Appeal. But of course your understanding of the language is far superior to theirs too.
Who should emigrate, by the way? ??.
Plainly, Ian, it’s not an encitement to anything. It’s a statement of someone’s apathy towards a potential course of action.
But then you’re just smart enough to know that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t dare repeat that identical “encitement” online.
So you taught English? Careful none of your former pupils track you down and sue.
Looks to me like a clear breach of your human rights by the police, contrary to section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. Police forces, and the College of Policing, should spend less time on trans rights and more on their obligations under the HRA.
To quote Charlie Brown “Good Grief”
The police in the U.K. are making the Keystone Cops look like professional crime fighters.
This idiot is wasting very scarce time and money and repeats the same false accusations over and over year after year which in itself should be a crime but plod have fools in place to jump to his every command.
Between sending a battalion of Cops to pick up a couple of lap tops and phones at Murrell’s house to have 8 officers arresting blind and disabled pensioners for writing on cardboard this incompetent and institutionally racist organisation are become the last people that you would use to help you if in trouble.
Will they now have the sense to list his proven file of unjustified accusations on a data base somewhere to stop this happening tomorrow? Doubt it.
God help us.
Can this vile person not be classed as a “vexatious litigant”?
That way they would be prevented from wasting everyone’s time.
I’d be installing a doorbell camera ASAP. Eufy make ones that don’t need a subscription.
We are indebted to you for your work. I hope you can maintain the strength and resources to carry on.
Thank you.
@RevStu
Have you considered a private prosecution? I have no doubt whatsoever that he can be tracked down for the purposes of serving court documentation on him – that’s trivial if you simply pay for someone to find him.
Private prosecution is expensive but doesn’t need permission the same way it does in Scotland. Once started then only two things can stop it (AFAIK) – running out of cash or CPS takes over.
There’s surely enough of you who’ve been abused by him to club together and get it done?
Can’t you make a complaint to the Police regarding their malicious harassment of yourself?
In pre-Communist China, the Imperial eunuchs were a protected
clique, and to pour scorn upon them was treated like an actual assault against the Imperial family.
China in 2026 looks a lot more free and open than the UK (and they look after their own people first – something that our so-called “servants” in both Parliaments might want to consider trying, one day).
I would not lift a finger for Scotland (as it is) were it to be invaded.
There is a question here to all his former colleagues:
Why did you stay silent?
The man is clearly a danger to himself and others and given his known behavior, why did you not speak up?
And knowing that you did not speak up, what do you believe gives you the right to wear the uniform.
I thought he was in the process of being tagged as a vexatious litigant ???
The amazing thing here is that they’ve obviously read your blog posts and yet none of that appeared to ring any alarm bells about what sort of person might have made the complaint and why, with the obvious conclusion that this probably needed to be escalated to more senior officers.
Aidan: it is necessary to know where Watson made his ‘input’ to the law enforcement system and which officer decided to visit Rev. Stu. It is logicaally possible that Frank Gilloughby (4:23) is correct.
That this was coordinated by MI5?
Jfc ,how much more !
Somewhere in Avon and Somerset a village is missing its idiot.
Clue…they were last seen wearing a Police uniform.
There can no longer be any doubt that in the U.K., ordinary law abiding people are now at the mercy of organised anarcho tyranny.
Today’s MSM leading story is clear enough. Just about the first act of the UK’s new unelected government is to reduce the prison time actually served by many serious offenders to one third of what they were sentenced.
Regarding Rev Stu’s ordeal, I can’t help but think that no member of the groups who operate with impunity outside the law in the U.K. would be harassed for long by the likes of Watson. He knows that too, which is why he’ll always limit his predations to the law abiding.
Wait…. Joined the dots, He was Living in Dunfermline?
I remember reading, I think in Tom Driberg’s ‘Ruling Passions’, that in the 1930’s and 40’s ambitious young police constables would be encouraged to hang about outside the local rendezvous lavatories and ask emerging users if they’d been solicited inside. Arrest and conviction of the working (male) prostitute inside followed in short order: easy brownie points for the PC and the training sergeant. Perhaps some police-men/-forces see this person as a goose that always provides an entertaining day out, and one that sometimes lays golden eggs.
I dread to think what the police do to people who don’t say anything in response to the request that they verify that they don’t have to say anything
This is absolutely disgraceful.
Whatever else the call at 1,30am is so unneccessary as to be vexatious in itself.
Hope you take them to the cleaners. Shameful from the police.
And I dont agree with your politics at times but this should shake us all.
I suppose the days are long gone when you could ask “Under which statute, officer?”.
Well done to you for defeating this starter-grade fascism/bolshevism. But as any economist would say, what changes need to be made to their incentives and how should it be accomplished?
Aidan at 9:30pm.
No reply facility at your ‘MI5?’ comment.
Who knows? The Watson nightmare saga almost beggars belief. It is not clear from where, in ‘law enforcement’, this latest harrassment of Rev Stu originated. Rev Stu seems a possible target for some part State apparatus (it has happened previously). Frank Gilloughby maybe knows far more than I do. Given that set of premises, do you have reason to rule out the possibility of an ‘unseen hand’ in the matter? Please do let us know. Thanks.
I think we’re getting into the realms of fantasy there, to quote Captain Mainwairing. Nothing that the Rev is doing is connected to terrorism or serious disorder, or an attempt to overthrow parliamentary democracy in the UK, which are the kinds of threats MI5 deals with.
Lynsay Watson is a well understood element, he’s been behaving this way for a while although the frequency and severity of his behavior is obviously getting worse. He is a deranged fanatic who understands how policing work and is able to use his experience to manipulate it to his own ends. It is incredible that someone like this is allowed to carry out this campaign unabated for such a long time, but that’s a consequence of box-ticking policing and the infiltration of wokery. It’s not because Watson is working for MI5.
There was an article on Unherd recently exposing the extent of the adoption of trans woo woo in the Met. Leading to the expulsion of good coppers who fall foul of the pronouns people.
It’s quite feasible Watson is being given some leeway in his behaviour by serving members of the police.
Good old Adrian, as usual he is sticking up for his unionist spook colleagues on the Scotch floor at Vauxhall Cross.
He pretends not to know that Scottish nationalism is classed as an attempt to overthrow ‘parliamentary democracy’ [lol] in the “UK”. Remember Tory Sunak including Scottish nationalism in his list of terrorist organizations?
Pathetic.
Which Scottish nationalist organisations are proscribed as terrorist organisations James?
“…the passage of Rishi Sunak’s speech, under the heading ‘The dangers’, that starts with Russia, Iran, North Korea and China… and ends with Scottish nationalism, via Houthis, hackers, mass migration, anti-Semitism, and gender activism..”
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
You should do your own homework.
Look it up,son.
“…the passage of Rishi Sunak’s speech, under the heading ‘The dangers’, that starts with Ru**ia, I*an, N**th K*rea and C*ina… and ends with Scottish nationalism, via H*uthis, hackers, mass migration, anti-Semitism, and gender activism..”
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
You should do your own homework.
Look it up,son.
There is no official UK legal, security, or counter-terrorism classification that defines Scottish nationalism as an attempt to “overthrow parliamentary democracy.” FACT.
The Scottish independence movement operates within the democratic and legal frameworks of Holyrood and Westminster. FACT.
Heavily exaggerated hyperbole vs. germane, cold, hard facts. Happy to shed some light on the latter and to compare and contrast your own “contribution”.
Still, marginally better than “Prick”, so progress of sorts.
I asked you James, which organisations were proscribed under the terrorism act (as you said they were) which is a legal designation in public law and would support action by MI5 against those groups. Is the answer that no groups are proscribed at all? Are you just relying on a Prime Minister speech which you have deliberately misinterpreted?
Fatso @12:52 @1:47
So what are the names of these Scottish Nationalist terrorist organisations then ??
You made the claim, fatso !
So back it up with the NAMES !
The usual unionist wails “naw it isnae” “naw he didnae”…
Black is white, up is down blah blah blah.
Did Tory Sunak list Scottish nationalists in a speech regarding terror threats to the “UK” – yes or no.
(Hint-the answer is yes).
Did I use the word proscribed? No. Read it and weep – then you can Fuck Off.
@Fatso
You originally said:
“… that Scottish nationalism is classed as an attempt to overthrow ‘parliamentary democracy’ [lol] in the “UK”.”
FACT: It is NOT. End of.
Man, you’re stupid. Stick to eating copious quantities of pies.
Fuckwit cave dweller;
ask some of your Tory chums what they think.
You will find your answer there ‘maaate’.
Who cares what anyone “thinks”, moron (or more accurately, what hyperbole they might have used in one speech). That doesn’t add up to a hill of beans, and certainly does not equate to “the UK classing Scottish Nationalism as an attempt to overthrow parliamentary democracy”.
Once again:
‘… There is no official UK legal, security, or counter-terrorism classification that defines Scottish nationalism as an attempt to “overthrow parliamentary democracy.” FACT.
The Scottish independence movement operates within the democratic and legal frameworks of Holyrood and Westminster. FACT.
Heavily exaggerated hyperbole vs. germane, cold, hard facts. Happy to shed some light on the latter and to compare and contrast your own “contribution”. …
Cretin. Learn to read.
Okay James – so just to summarise, Scottish independence isn’t classified anywhere as an attempt to overthrow parliamentary democracy, Rishi Sunak did not describe Scottish nationalists or any organisation as terrorists, and no Scottish Nationalist organisation is proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
Yet again, an absurd and easily disprovable claim is dismissed, James is made to look stupid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah; same old unionist BS from the same old bad actors.
“Naw he didnae” is the zenith of their shallow script.
Thick as shit in the neck of a bottle.
😀
Just another thick-as-whale-omelette reality denier, eh Fatso.
Well, try as anyone might, you can’t educate pork (literally in your case). Keep blissfully wallowing in your own shite.
That all you got, ju ju man?
Thought so.
Police harassment of innocent citizens only happens in a police state.
Most of the freedoms hard gained in the last 100 years have already been taken back. And more are being taken back at a rapid pace.
There is no more freedom of speech.
There’s always a silver lining, though.
Nobody’s claiming Fanon has the answer to this one.
On the contrary, Hatey, colonial state security services and its numerous ‘confidential agents’ afforded immunity are behind all ‘the repressions suffered by a colonized people’ (Elkins).
That is why ‘nationalist imperialism’ is known as the most aggressive form of oppression.
And here we are reminded that fascism sits ‘at the root of colonialism’ (Kelley); and the colonizer ‘reveals his fangs whenever colonialism is imperiled’ (Fanon).
Why else does one receive a knock on the door from state police in the middle o the nicht, and for the most mystifying of conjured-up excuses?
Murray, Salmond, Rev Stu, Hirst, Thomson, Singh etc……. I spy a wee pattern.
Which explains why there is only one remedy for colonialism:

Have you been arrested in the middle of the night? If what you are saying is true (which obviously, it isn’t) then I would have thought you’d be right up there on the list?
Mrs YL asked what skin moisturisers he’s using, as they clearly aren’t helping..
You must have some amazing blood pressure medication after all that. Anyway, that was a great read.

HOW THE BELFAST TELEGRAPH HANDLED HELEN JOYCE
The Belfast Telegraph strung Helen Joyce along for a week, and then killed her right to reply to a journalist’s smears…

It’s true though. You can smell that polycule for miles.
What is the method for responding directly to a comment when there is no reply facility show with the comment?

I hope this helps.
How that madman Watson has not been locked up yet, at least in a loony bin is beyond belief.
It fits the definition of anarcho tyranny.
Just like our “new” WM government’s announcement yesterday that they have “no choice” but to release serious offenders early, into situations with increased probabilities of re-offending.
This is from a prison estate containing (in England & Wales) 11,000 foreign nationals, who could be deported. That’s 12% of capacity.
This is from a government seemingly unable to emulate the Tory’s feats of building emergency “Nightingale Hospitals” in weeks during Covid.
Where there’s a will, there’s always a way. But it suits WM to have the plebs kept down and kept occupied by a mix of petty, oppressive officialdom, and pervasive lawlessness.
Just why the Scottish Indy movement can’t develop the policies to put clear blue water between our aspirational Independent Scotland and the UK’s continuing decline genuinely puzzles me.
The Sturgeon now Swinney years will go down in history as the docile years in Scottish politics and the most damaging to the people and our Country.
The Trans push has cause so much damage and hasn’t help one single person on either side of the argument if anything its made certain individual believe without question they can walk on water and their equal is god himself.
At the heart of the SNP is Scotland isn’t to become Independent but to be a country dedicated to the LGBT+ community with Independence being the stumbling block to that goal.
Thank you Rev Stu for shining a light on all of this, so that the rest of us can truly see the extent of where we now find ourselves, and the sheer scale of rollback required.
Man alive, I miss the Nineties.
In my more than forty years’ experience of persecution for being vaccine injured, when things happen out-of-hours – letters sent on Christmas day, police banging on your door in the middle of the night when there’s no reason it could not wait till morning – it is because of “oversight” by MI5. Their under cover agents can infiltrate any organization, public or private sector, and perpetrate any act out of the watchful eyes of their colleagues. Then, MI5 can order that certain people may not be prosecuted, so there is no resolution. And it’s all done in secret, they can even lie to the courts and get away with a reprimand! This sounds like a classic case. I would say take heart from the fact that, if they can’t prosecute him they probably can’t prosecute you either.
Alright Russell Crowe
I dunno. I know nothing other than truth is often stranger than fiction. Art imitating life and life imitating art and all that.
Take the series ‘Legends’ for example, based on a true ‘story’. Who’d a thunk that as being in the realms of fantasy?
As to the Rev’s proper investigative journalism not being considered a threat to the established ‘democracy’ of the day, I think that MI5 could certainly take a view on that. As they have no control over where that could end up, then better they head them off at the pass.
They don’t have to co-ordinate a thing. Just let the Stasi do their thing as the disruption, the time, the financial implications to revert to the legal world can be deterrent enough and if not, then who knows…
I don’t think for a minute that what you see is what what is happening. Nothing is as it appears to be. To believe so would surely be naive?
I just think that this is a reasonable position to take and that it would be somewhat safer to assume so.
Ultimately, this unwelcome situation comes down to Scotland being colonised. And if you can’t see why that is then you haven’t read Doun-Hauden: The Socio-Political Determinants of Scottish Independence.
Well Done Northclown. You managed to beat Alfie Boy in bringing up the Colonialism mince. What a good little acolyte you are.
If you look at the long-term behavioural patterns, the colonisation dynamic isn’t really the controversial part… it’s the predictable part.
Doun-Hauden shows that Scotland’s political reactions are largely downstream of structural dependency, not sentiment.
Once you understand that, the current situation makes far more sense than people think.
The real issue isn’t whether colonisation is contentious – colonisation is the baseline.
Scotland’s political behaviour follows colonial structural-dependency patterns, not the folk-myth narratives people cling to.
Once you stop treating symptoms as causes, the present situation becomes embarrassingly predictable.
So you’ve been on the receiving end of Alf’s aggressive oppression then, Northy.
What was it destroyed yer hoose? A ballistic missile, a glide bomb, a Shahed?
If some cant controlling a FPV drone chased you round your garden, while live streaming to UTube, let us know and we can all sympathise.
Maybe hae a sneaky peak and laugh, too!
All this petty lawfare is so unbecoming. She needs to man up.
He messed with the wrong man when he tangeled with you Sturat! Stand strong. All cowards fold eventually.
When Lech Walesa tried to free Communist Poland, the Polish Communist security forces used to wake him up in the middle of the night, banging on his door to answer some bogus charge. The idea was to prevent him and his family from getting a good night’s sleep-wear him down so that he’d quit campaigning.
Watson and the Bath police seem to be using the same tactics.
SUPPORT GROUP PROMOTING MALE ‘CHESTFEEDING’ SPARKS OUTRAGE
A group in Edinburgh promoting the practice of biological men ‘chestfeeding’ babies has sparked outrage.
The weekly support group ‘Queer Milk’ is explicitly inclusive of men who identify as women and are taking cross-sex hormones to mimic breastfeeding.
It is run by the charity LGBT Health and Wellbeing, which is given hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding by the Scottish Government, the NHS, and local councils.
‘CHESTFEEDING’
The group’s advertisement for the ‘Queer Milk’ support group says: “You are welcome to attend the group whatever your feeding journey looks like. Whether you are mixed feeding, chestfeeding, breastfeeding, using an SNS or donor milk or any of the beautiful and varied ways you might be giving human milk to your baby.”
However, Dr Alice Hodkinson, co-founder of campaign group Biology in Medicine, stated: “There’s no such thing as chestfeeding. You need to be a woman and you need to have breasts to breastfeed.”
She explained that, while mothers can produce pints of milk for their child, the most that men have been recorded producing is “a thimbleful”.
Dr Hodkinson noted: “This is not for the baby. This does not benefit the baby, and we have to be very clear about this, that there’s something else going on that a man should want to do this.”
CAMPAIGNERS
Biology in Medicine wrote on X: “It may be *queer*, but it isn’t *milk*. Any secretions produced by men who take a cocktail of drugs are not suitable for feeding babies.”
Susan Smith, Co-Director of women’s rights group For Women Scotland, stated: “Defenceless and innocent babies are not props to be used to affirm delusional men, and the fact that public money is being used to promote the notion that they are is nauseating.”
Former Olympic swimmer and women’s rights campaigner Sharron Davies wrote: “Stop putting men’s feelings before safeguarding or the health of babies! Madness”.
POLITICIANS
Mandy Lindsay MSP called it “State-funded child abuse”, saying: “Innocent infants are not there to validate anyone’s identity or fetish. They need protection, not ideology.”
MSP Meghan Gallacher noted: “we don’t know the risks associated with it”, and urged the Government to withdraw any funding “supporting organisations that perform experiments on children”.
A Scottish Government spokesman said the LGBT Health and Wellbeing group is funded through its Equality and Human Rights Fund which “is for specific, agreed activities”, adding: “We do not provide funding for lactation services through this fund.”

As a former cop, I echo your WTF? FFS!
And I just joined the FSU after months of procrastinating. I am highly unlikely to need their services personally but if my subscription helps others it is money well spent.
(I can’t believe that I have joined an organisation headed by Lord Young after his part in 2014. But then again, I can’t believe I am a fierce supporter of a certain JKR after her comments in 2014 either!)
Speechless. Raging.
Take care of your good self.
After Lawrence, the pendulum of prejudiced malice carried out by police officers has swung the other way; what is it about regional organisations of people of similar outlook across the whole nation, that engenders this madness? Was it always there? Are they simply stupid? Are they failed fascists yearning for a chance to indulge their persecution fantasies upon anyone, as long as they can? Are they intellectualy, morally and professionally weak people? It seems that we have a collection of uniformed threats walking our streets, ready to pounce and totally unconcerned about the law, the concept of truth, or right, or wrong.
