One year on, here's my High Court victory against far-right conspiracy theorists Nina Power & Daniel Miller, with the Judge ruling their conduct an "aggressive" course of bullying with the "whiff of threat and antisemitism", which resulted in both their bankruptcies:

Since groypers are in the news, worth revisiting how antisemitic conspiracy theorists Nina Power and Daniel 'DC' Miller were exposed at trial as secretly operating a series of groyper accounts that they used to target me – including the 'Nina Power Groyper' and 'DC Groyper' accounts seen here:

One of the maddest stories of left-turned-right tbh - from anti-policing philosophy informed by experiencing police violence to totaly batshit esoteric nonsense and pathetic levels of cringe groyperism

Yeah she was a rising star in the UK philosophy scene, then she got into esoteric hitlerism, sued a guy that called her a fascist, then lost in court and discovery revealed how far she's gone into fascist thought. Nowadays she goes on podcasts with overt neo-Nazis luketurner.com/Nina_Power/

I tried to keep track of which UK philosophers rushed to the defence of their friend Nina Power once it was revealed she was an esoteric fascist and vehement racist obsessed with Hitler, and I counted less than a handful (maybe three?), and one of them was James Orr

After 28 days spent in the gallery, stencilling, painting, and a great many conversations, my Beaconsfield commission, ‘Cross-examination’, is now complete.

I’d like to thank everyone who came to visit, for the unexpected hugs & tears, for the compassionate discussions about the horrors of trials…

Note: the supportive comments from Stock, Orr and Fox and messages decrying ‘cancel culture’ and in support of ‘free speech’ are directed towards an individual that used a SLAPP in a vain attempt to bankrupt a Jewish artist for expressing his free speech—the truth. It is not about ‘free speech’

Maybe one day the UK media will enquire into why Baroness Claire Fox vocally supported Nina Power on the day it was publicly revealed she said ‘I’m definitely a Nazi now lol’

Stock’s knee-jerk defence of an esoteric hitlerist gives the game away: antisemitism, racism and transphobia are each separate (but overlapping and intersecting) manifestations of their overarching worldview, and ‘censorship’ and ‘free speech’ are stalking horses for their political project

The precise moment when it was revealed Nina Power mused ‘Wonder what the real deal is with the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion]’ and kept a copy of Mein Kampf is when one of the most prominent UK anti-trans figureheads rushed to her defence: ‘keep doing what you do Nina, you are great’.
.@Nina_Compact is an original, stimulating, light-footed writer who always makes me think; I'm very happy I supported her crowdfunder a few years back; and I get a lot from @compactmag_ where she is editor, and the podcast she contributes to. Keep doing what you do Nina, you are great.

Never forget how Kathleen Stock stood by Nina Power, initially promoting her crowdfunder so Power could attempt to bully someone into silence, and even after she had been fully exposed as a fascist ghoul in court.

Related to this—the moment Power’s comments were made public, the overtly reactionary red-brown magazine Compact immediately dropped Power from its masthead, while my impression is Power’s prominence at the Telegraph and Spectator has moderately increased…

Also of relevance, Daniel Miller is the son of Spectator columnist Jonathan Miller.

At the time of bringing their libel action, Daniel Miller was a writer for 'Social Matter', a neo-Nazi website that called for the "segregation and separation" of Jewish people. More here:

My beaconsfield.ltd.uk commission 'Cross-examination' continues to be an intense & cathartic undertaking, as I slowly transcribe one of the more Kafkaesque passages from my High Court trial against the far right.

Luke painting a transcript on the gallery wall that reads: Q. And I - I wonder if you can tell me, although it is only a page long, it has got eight points, but I will just go to point five, I think. ‘ All things are caught within the irrevocable slide towards a state of maximum entropic dissemblance. Artistic creation is contingent upon the origination or revelation of difference therein. Affect at its zenith is the unmediated experience of difference in itself. It must be art’s role to explore the promise of its own paradoxical ambition by coaxing excess towards presence.’ Seven, whilst we are here, ‘ Just as science strives for poetic elegance, artists might assume a quest for truth. All information is grounds for knowledge, whether empirical or aphoristic, no matter its truth-value. We should embrace the scientific-poetic synthesis and informed naivety of a magical realism. Error breeds sense.’ Your use of language, Mr Turner, the aspect that I read to you, which began ‘In particular we find Third Positionism…’ Similar, isn’t it? A. I don’t agree with that. I agree that this open letter is verbose and quite pompous. I don’t think it’s pseudointellectual. I think it makes points. It has some language in it that is certainly not clear to a lay reader, whereas my manifesto is an artwork. It’s in some ways deliberately obtuse and playful with language, and it’s also very short. I think I say somewhere in my messages about the open letter that it - it is a shame it’s not more accessibly written, actually - Q. Just going back to page 64, again in four, 289-93. This, ‘ In particular, we find a Third Positionist tenor - the dominant iteration and most creeping form of contemporary fascism…"

If anyone else is threatened by Kathleen Stock - or any of those other GCs who love free speech so much they have defamation lawyers on speed dial - please do get in touch. We employ a full time lawyer to fend off this intellectually dishonest bullshit.

Just learned of the death of Walker Storz, a NRx Land acolyte whose article 'Toward a Hitlerian Disability Politics' figured in my trial against Nina Power and Daniel Miller.

Storz, who wrote 'The Incel is the Only Possible Revolutionary Subject', also targeted me with abhorrent abuse.

Insightful work here from James Wilson (@per-incuriam.bsky.social) who is continuing to shed much-needed light on Mark Lewis, the lawyer who represented far-right "bullies" Daniel Miller & Nina Power in my High Court case, and his concerning modus operandi:

perincuriam2.substack.com/p/episode-8-...
The second case is Miller and Power v Turner [2023] EWHC 2799 (KB), where Mr Lewis acted for the claimants Daniel Miller and Nina Power in their defamation claim against Luke Turner. The case went to trial and Mr Lewis’ clients lost. What seems clear about this case is that the chances of Mr Miller and Ms Power succeeding at trial were very low. Mr Turner had made various statements about Mr Miller and Ms Power, including that they were fascists and neo-Nazis who had engaged in a campaign of harassment against him. Bizarrely, Mr Miller and Ms Power chose not to contest that they were fascists or neo-Nazis, but claimed their reputations had been harmed by the allegations of harassment. Given they had expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler, defending the fascism allegations would have been problematic to say the least. It seems unlikely that additional damage to their reputation was caused by the accusation of harassment on top of the accusation of being fascists? This seems to be the basis on which Mr Miller and Ms Power lost at trial. While I have no sympathy for Mr Miller and Ms Power, it seems possible that - as in my case - Mr Lewis’ conduct was motivated and the case maintained to trial on the basis of his own significant financial interests. It would be interesting to know if - as I did in my case - Mr Turner made a reasonable offer which Mr Lewis’ clients ought to have accepted, but which they were prevented from accepting because Mr Lewis advised against it. If that happened then - as with Mr Cantor - Mr Miller and Ms Power were obliged to carry on. They too may have been trapped in an aeroplane piloted by Mr Lewis. The end result was that Mr Miller and Ms Power lost at trial, they both went bankrupt and, presumably, Mr Turner was left out of pocket. If I am right and Mr Lewis has been running cases on the basis of his own direct personal and significant financial interests, then this is a huge problem because other people - his own clients and those on the other side - will have suffered serious financial harm by his conduct. There is also the psychological harm caused intensely stressful and risky litigation. Given that Patron Law: (a) has effectively given Mr Lewis the authority to allow him to operate like this; and (b) appears not to have effectively supervised him; then it seems to me that (c) Patron Law and its insurers ought to be liable to those affected by Mr Lewis’ conduct. The cost of all this could run into £100,000s.
