Tuesday 24^th February 2004

Dear Amanda,

1. It is more than four years since we were last in touch, when you showed courage, integrity & humanity, by writing a letter to Superintendent Frank Farmer at Chapeltown Police Station expressing shock at the attack on me on 8^th August 1999.  [That letter, & your address, has only newly come into my hands again.]
2. You were a new Councilor, honest, with integrity, & had reacted as such a person should.  Soon after, you wrote or rang in something of a panic, saying that you did not want to be involved further.  I think I understood your reasons: You were fairly newly married to an experienced councillor, leader of the Conservative group on Leeds Council.  I suspect he recognized that you were getting into deep water, & warned you to back off.
3. He was right; the water was very deep, & very murky, probably much more than your husband realized.  The regimes of Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein et al would silence ALL ‘dissidents’ & REAL political opposition.  So does Lawyer Blair’s regime.  Having stood against Tony Benn in 1997, I intended to stand against Blair in 2001 - & would have made a difference!
4. The attack was a crude assassination attempt by ‘Gestapo’ police, crude only because it failed.  If successful it would have been very clever – ‘Death from Natural Causes’.
5. I respected your wishes, & did not involve you further.  However, it has got AT LEAST a million times worse.  A second attack 11 months later also failed though it did put me in hospital.  I was the one prosecuted, & after a grotesque Kangaroo Court ‘trial’ in 2001 given a ten year sentence at the age of 75 [then] – for a first ‘offence’.
6. In a succession of Blunkett & Blair’s ‘Holiday Camp’ prisons [16 moves so far] I have suffered physical brutality, mental torture beyond belief, jeers, sneers, insults, starvation & provocation from the psychopaths with the keys.  I am now in Armley Gaol for the fourth time, virtually in solitary confinement: ‘banged up’ 23 ½ hours a day, no book, no newspaper, no TV, no access to library, education, church or chapel, other prisoners punished if they try to speak to me through the door, my telephone credit & prison a/c money confiscated by the prison.
7. Armley is a cross between Camp X-Ray & a Japanese POW camp.  I DO NOT EXAGGERATE.  Nor do I when I say the staff are clones of Myra Hindley, Ian Brady & Ian Huntley.  They were stopped when caught, but these have licence to torment, torture & murder.  They have got orders to keep me here to break me - & they are specialists!  During the short periods when I AM allowed out, I am harried & hurried like a twenty year old in a ‘boot camp’, the cell door opened then slammed shut before I have hardly got through it – with a violent push to help.
8. The truth is that Britain is a Police State just as much as Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa, Idi Amin’s Uganda, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe or Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.  Though the victims are fewer [as yet], in some respects it is worse here.  Each of the above had a degree of honesty, declaring their aims.  Hitler’s were to exterminate the Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, mentally disabled, & that anyone not of the Aryan race would have no rights.
9. The Blair/Howard/Kennedy regime hides behind a nauseating pretence of ‘Democracy’, ‘Human Rights’ & the ‘Rule of Law’.  We have neither.  In 1997 I stood for Parliament against Tony Benn.  My effect on the result was greater than the official results suggest.  Chesterfield was one of only four constituencies where the massive swing to Labour was reversed.  I intended to stand against Blair in 2001, & WOULD have made a difference.  My single-handed success in the ECtHR [33745/96] brought an important change in British law, so the order went out “Silence him”.  They haven’t succeeded yet, but after three years of fiendish brutality & incredible mental torture, the end cannot be far away.
10. 60 years ago I was prepared to give my life fighting against the evil of Hitler, lucky to survive then.  I am prepared to give it now, fighting against those just as evil.  On a starvation diet for 3 years, I have been at Armley since 27 Jan. 04, taking nothing but water, sugar [energy], salt [electrolyte] & vinegar [mouth freshener.]
