🚨Lawfare Update🚨

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

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

Thank you.

Well done the @NCA_UK for securing the conviction yesterday of three Rotherham grooming gang monsters, whose offences date back to the 2000s.

Mudasar Hussain, 37, was found guilty in his absence of 12 counts of raping the girl, who was around 14 years old at the time.

Kamir Khan, 37, was also found guilty in his absence of two counts of rape and one count of trafficking for sexual exploitation, after he arranged for another man to have sex with the girl.

Mudasar Hussain’s brother Ghazanfar Hussain, 42, – also convicted of raping the girl – has been remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.

Looks like two have fled to Pakistan🇵🇰.

Just when your anger at the Channel migrants is at an all time high, this happens. A concerned migrant shows video evidence of "Young baby girls" being brought into the hotel by Somalis.

Security do nothing.

It's getting tougher to advocate for the rule of law.

Friend and follower Julie @CroleyJuli14671 has a special thank you message for her local Liberal Democrat MP @EdwardMorelloWD. Not my party, but happy to credit good work. I know the hell Julie has gone through.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR MP, EDWARD MORELLO

This morning, our MP, Edward Morello, is meeting me at the nursing home where Mike is staying.

I specifically asked Edward to come, because I wanted him to meet Mike, and Mike to meet someone who, in my opinion, has demonstrated exactly what a committed, compassionate and genuinely hardworking Member of Parliament should be.

My admiration for Edward and his team goes back to April last year, when I first approached him for help with a problem.

Having applied for an Australian tourist visa, I found myself still waiting three months later, with no visa and no explanation. I contacted Edward to see if he could help.

What followed was quite extraordinary. Edward and his brilliant team took up my case and pursued it right to the highest levels of the Australian Government, demanding to know why I was being left in this position. Considering they have approved my 7 applications over the years, that my application be processed as quickly as possible.

When even that appeared to draw a blank, I decided it was time to play my trump card!
I resorted to a little name-dropping.

King Charles has supported several of my fundraising projects for children's charities, and I offered the Australian immigration authorities a reference from His Majesty, as Head of the Commonwealth.

"Would that satisfy your requirements?" I asked.
Five days later, my visa arrived!

I have never forgotten the determination Edward and his team showed in helping me, but what has happened since has made me appreciate them even more.

Since Mike's devastating diagnosis of terminal cancer, I have found myself having to fight repeatedly to ensure that he receives the proper care, treatment, attention and dignity he deserves.

Sadly, we have encountered far too many failures and shortcomings within the NHS and the Weldmar hospice management ,leaving me having to push, challenge and demand answers at times when my energy should be focused entirely on Mike.

Throughout this incredibly difficult period, Edward and his team have stood alongside me.
They have responded to my requests, pursued information, challenged those responsible and used Edward's position as our MP to press for Mike to be treated properly.

They haven't simply offered sympathetic words or made empty promises. They have listened, taken action and continued to support us.
And that, to me, is what being a Member of Parliament should be all about.

An MP should be there not just for the big political issues, but for people facing extraordinary circumstances. Someone who listens when people feel ignored, speaks up when they feel powerless and is prepared to challenge the system when it fails those it is supposed to serve.

Edward Morello has done exactly that for us.
I wanted Mike to meet Edward personally because I think it is important that he knows just how much his support has meant to us. In the midst of everything we are going through, having someone in public office who genuinely cares and is prepared to act has made a real difference.

Edward, I cannot thank you and your wonderful team enough.

You have demonstrated that public service is not simply about holding a position or having a title. It is about commitment, compassion, integrity and, above all, being there for the people you represent when they need you most.
You have been there for us. And we will never forget that.

Thank you, Edward. You are a credit to your constituency and an example of what a truly dedicated Member of Parliament should be.

Shameful i/v from @piersmorgan & @susannareid100 from 2017. Ms Reid name calls with "Islamophobia," & Morgan does not want @TRobinsonNewEra to make his case why Islam is violent & incompatible with British values.

Fear of terrorism & grooming gangs are rational, not a phobia.
