T remains to be seen how many people will vote “POCOCK”, but voting is exactly a week from now. This is the schedule:

For what the candidates have to offer, specifically Daniel Pocock:

This was leaked online this month:

HE nation’s police resources are limited. Regardless of how one feels about the above “cause”, holding up a sign or placard or whatever hardly puts anyone at risk.

Contrariwise, when people receive death threats calculated to terrorise (whether acted upon or not is irrelevant), there is action the cops can and should take.

It’s saddening to see how police resources get misallocated.

have just caught a new article from Daniel Pocock, following that up with two of my own:

• 2026-08-05 ^14:04 The Establishment, Cambridge, Steve McIntyre & Debian suicide cluster
• 2026-08-05 ^14:27 Software in the Public Interest (SPI) Starts Spending Big Money in an Effort to Resist Lawsuit From Daniel Pocock
• 2026-08-05 ^14:45 How to Dehumanise a Triple National

Maybe one day we’ll know who’s spending like a million pounds on lawfare against my wife and I.

N 9 days from now Clacton goes to the polls and can reject the incumbent bigot. I took a quick look at the BBC’s description of all the candidates and about half of them can be written off as a self-described (admitted) parody. Consider “Monster Raving Loony Party” and “Everyone is God Party”. No serious person would go by such names.

That leaves about 20-25 people who take themselves seriously and fancy their chances.

Independent candidates aplenty are not a bad thing. In a good democracy, the “Independents” would stand a chance of winning, and gaining visibility without a massive budget (from parties such as Labour) should be desirable.

Encouraging people to vote “Independent” will lead us closer to a democracy not controlled by big Money.

am hardly surprised to see the above in today’s news. Out of three dozen choices one has except Farage the media chooses to obsess over a faceless joke of a candidate.

This has gone on for weeks already.

Yesterday: Swatting People Who Write About Corruption, Misogyny, Criminal Misuse of Funds

Days ago:

llison Pearson had the same lawyer as us at around the same time. It was also around the same time a bunch of misogynists were trying to attack my wife and I by ‘swatting’.

Pearson found justice at the end. As the news puts it, “Police and crime commissioner to pay Allison Pearson ‘substantial damages’“ (they can afford it) and to quote the summary:

Telegraph columnist receives five-figure sum in complaint against Essex police boss.

This matter was previously covered by the BBC [1, 2, 3, 4].

In the news today

‘ve unfortunately had to deal a lot with bad, rogue, mentally-defective (by their own admission) people in recent years. Misogynists were among them. They think women are nothing. They believe they can strangle, drug, sexually abuse them and so on.

Misogynists are the sorts of things that stand in the way of societal progression (upwards, higher standards). Misogynists are an enemy of civil society.
