Chris Spivey has been arrested for harassment.

Guerrilla Democracy News | 30.07.2014 16:20 | Other Press | World

"Just to update. Can people hold back on the phone calls to Southend police station. It is making it very difficult for Stacey to get anyone to speak to her as a consequence. She hasn't spoken to Chris but can confirm he is still being held in Southend. Lisa x"

Chris Spivey: Legend
Chris Spivey: Legend


The inevitable has happened and Chris Spivey, the alternative media's leading on-line journalist has been arrested for harassment.

Shying away from arresting him for libel or slander, Stephen Kavanagh the Chief Constable of Essex police force was forced to scrap the bottom of the barrel and come up with harassment as the means to an end.

While Chris will no doubt walk free due to the fact he was “preventing and detecting crime,” which is the exception to the rule of the Harassment Law, the incident will be viewed by ‘the powers that be’ as a job well done; having given themselves the opportunity to enter his home and look through his computer.

Prohibition of Harassment.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a course of conduct if the person who pursued it shows—
(a) that it was pursued for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime.

CHRIS SPIVEY ILLEGALLY ARRESTED.

Broken to the world by Lisa, the administrator on Chris Spivey's facebook page, the message read:

“Attention we have a situation.... Chris has just been arrested for harassment, apparently under section 32, because he wouldn't sign under section 23. 6 police felt the need to search his flat and Stacey and Clay's room.... looking for cctv. They have took his computers and hopefully he will be released within 24 hours. keep you posted. Lisa x”

While the Alternative Movement have reacted with shock and concern to the news, it would appear Chris Spivey had an inclination that something like this was about to happen.

As he mentioned in “The Spiv on Sunday 27/07/2014.”

“Indeed, I have had an awful job getting my arse into gear all week accompanied by an underlying sense of foreboding constantly present in the back of my mind.
Course, the thunder and lightning which has been going on in my neck of the woods, without the usual accompanying torrential rain that you would expect from such atmospheric pressure has done nothing to allay my fear… Although ‘fear’ is probably not the right word.
You see, I am not scared. And neither is that bravado, it is simply the truth.
In fact whatever it is that is coming, I am indeed keen for it to arrive.
After all, I have little patience when it comes down to a waiting game.”

Going into further detail of the arrest with a post by Lisa on Chris Spivey ILLEGALLY arrested, the main points include.

Just after 2 am 6 police entered Chris’s property with a so called warrant.
Not only does he have his young daughter and a 1 year old grandchild on the premises who were verbally abused by some wanker dressed in a uniform, all her possessions were rifled through and they attempted also to take her phone.
After two hours of a bunch of retards who under the disguise of being up-holders of the law, who having woken the child and tried to make Chris sign for the computer stuff they had stolen.
His daughter Stacey was obviously very upset, whereupon our brave boys in blue told her to “Grow up”.

“YOUR ALL BEHIND HIM COS YOUR ALL TWISTED ARSE BANDITS.”

As the alternative movement is left reeling from the news, Chris Spivey’s trolls are having a field day!

As David (who let the dogs out) Wood comments:

“You really are one sick fucker Chris,” after having sent the message to all Chris’s fans, “your all behind him cos your all twisted arse bandits.”

Oblivious to the fact that Chris Spivey has done a service to Great Britain of which its impact has yet to be fully appreciated, Chris Spivey’s trolls are playing into the hands of the very criminals who control their minds and influence their actions.

As one man who evidently isn’t a Spivey Troll commented on a Chris Spivey Facebook thread:

“Seems to me that the authorities are feeling a need to discredit you. Instead of being Chris Spivey, free thinker.... you will now be Chris Spivey... who was charged with..... It's a way to try to undermine any influence you may have. They are flexing their muscles too - must be satisfying to know that they are finally worried that people are believing some or all of what you write.”

To a comment left by DJ and AV commentator Mark Devlin:

“Chris Spivey has been arrested. It seems the system doesn't like it when people tell the truth. 'Harassment', apparently. Can you harass crisis actors??”

WHAT WILL THE SUN SAY?

Having been publicly called a “CRACKPOT WEB TROLL” by the Sun newspaper editor, the stark reality remains that more people are now reading Chris Spivey than are reading The Sun newspaper.

THIS IS WHAT GUERRILLA DEMOCRACY NEWS HAS HAD TO SAY ABOUT CHRIS SPIVEY. (In no particular order of publication date.)

Who the fuck is Chris Spivey?
Chris Spivey wages war against EVERYONE!
Chris Spivey breaks the 4 million mark (now approaching the 7 million mark since the article was first published.)
Chris Spivey names David Cameron as a Peadophile.
Chris Spivey exposes the Woolwich Lee Rigby murder as a fake.
The Sun newspaper calls Chris Spivey a ‘Crack-pot Web Troll’.
Chris Spivey breaks his silence over Lee Rigby fake murder.
Chris Spivey wets our Appetite.
ITV stokes up racial tensions with fake Lee Rigby story.

While no-one is under any illusion that these are grave times for Chris Spivey, his daughter Stacy and grandson Clayton, we must remember that Chris Spivey has balls of steel and as The Coleman Experience reminds us; is LEGEND.

KEEP CALM: CHRIS WILL BE FREED.

No doubt ‘the powers that be’ had to do something to confront the sterling work of Chris Spivey and the very fact that they choose to arrest him on a harassment charge demonstrates they are clutching at straws.

The beauty of Chris Spivey’s investigative skills is that he only writes the truth and as we all know, there is no law against telling the truth.

Now while some people may fear the police may plant incriminating evidence on Chris’s computer, we must be aware that while Chris has made many enemies, a lot more people who remain silent, support him to the hilt.

Chris Spivey is legend because he has done what a million masked men have been unable to do and that’s to thrown the criminal British Establishment into panic mood.

The powers that be are running scared and simply have no contingency plan to deal with the likes of Chris Spivey, Bill Maloney, The Coleman Experience and many many more free thinking minds in the alternative media movement.

If there is anything we can do to help Chris and his family in their hour of need, it’s to keep calm and have faith that Chris will bounce back stronger than ever.

Remember that Chris saw this coming and like he said, “I am indeed keen for it to arrive.”

This is the opening shot of the British Revolution and leaving the last word to Chris Spivey:

“LET’S GOTO WAR!”

my letter to Judge Woollard

26.08.2015 20:19

To: Judge John Woollard. 12 August

Chelmsford Magistrates Court

Dear Sir,

I understand that you are the judge who presided in a magistrate’s court, at Chelmsford on July 30-31. You served an ‘ultimatum’ to Mr Chris Spivey that he take down his entire website (which had received some ten million hits) or go to jail. Then the sentence of your court hearing will be handed down on August 27th. Quite what a judge was doing in a magistrates’ court, or how an ultimatum could be handed down before any sentence has been given, are minor irregularities compared to the guilt you purport to have found in this case.

Mr Spivey was not allowed to call any witnesses, nor could he even confront his accusers in court. Sir, have you not used hearsay evidence here? He merely requested an interview, and requested a facebook link – both declined – with a member of the Rigby family, and behold! you have formulated this as “ two counts of malicious communication against Lee Rigby’s mother, Lyn Rigby, and his sister Sara McClure”

These are people Mr Spivey has never met – and you find him guilty of “two counts of harassment without violence” Sir, these are public figures, clearly receiving large amounts of charity money, through the ‘Team Lee United Forces Ltd’ (since changed to The Lee Rigby Foundation Ltd.) – set up by Lyn Rigby. This is a limited company, which may look like a charity. So, what is the crime? If Spivey had hung around their homes then we would at least know what you were talking about – but he hasn’t. There is a long tradition of British satire, from Hogarth to Private Eye, and Mr Spivey’s popular website is surely within that tradition, much enjoyed by people who read it. On what grounds have you closed it down?

At your court hearing, a statement by Lyn Rigby was read out, that she ‘cried for weeks’ after Mr Spivey published her personal address on his site. Sir, that was a business address – as your court hearing made clear – of the above-mentioned lucrative business, of which she is a company director, for selling Rigby memorabilia etc. It was already in the public domain. It was given out in the newspapers on reporting the Spivey case – are you going to accuse them? And, since when have British people been found guilty, over a read-out testimony, about some woman crying, who could not even turn up to the court?

You charged Mr Spivey four thousand pounds for court costs. Your judgement was, that he had pursued “a course of conduct to those people [the Rigbys], likely to cause distress.” Is not that an innovative notion of crime, that one can be fined thousands and be threatened with jail merely because of conduct ‘likely to cause distress’? Moreover, as emerged from your Hearing, no-one had even written a letter to Mr Spivey requesting that any offensive content of his site be taken down or adjusted in the preceding years – as one would surely expect, for a case of this kind.

According to newspaper reports of your two-day hearing, Mr Spivey ‘claimed the 25-year-old soldier did not exist’. Are you saying that was a crime? A question-mark does hover over the identity of Drummer Lee Rigby, aka James Lee McClure: I applied to the Registrar’s Office for a copy of the birth certificate of Lee James McClure, born 1st or 4th July 1987, in the North Manchester Hospital, and after four weeks they returned me my ten pounds and said they could not find any such entry.

If you are making such a claim, then your courtroom should have been given a quote from his website to prove that that was his view – that Lee Rigby ‘did not exist.’ I believe you would there have found some difficulty. When Mr Spivey came to talk to our group on the subject (‘911 keeptalking’ group, which meets monthly in London) he somewhat surprisingly would not commit himself on that matter.

If you had requested that Lyn Rigby turn up to the hearing with a birth certificate and a death certificate of Lee Rigby (whether or not she could have done that), then at least you would have had a meaningful event. Instead you have attempted to ruin Mr Spivey’s life and his family without anything which I can see resembling a crime.

That Mr Spivey is a law-abiding citizen, is shown by the way he set up the petition  http://www.thepetitionsite.com/128/284/484/the-right-to-face-your-accusers-in-a-court-of-law/ – which had gained two thousand signatures, before it was mysteriously closed down, at the same time as your court hearing. Did you cause that to happen?

You have apparently found him guilty because he ‘claimed the murder of Lee Rigby was staged.’ Well, a lot of people believe that – i.e., that what happened on 22 May on Artillery Road 2013 was a staged event done by actors. Are you saying it is a crime to hold such a dissident opinion? Most issues concerning ‘Lee Rigby’ seem questionable – was he a drummer or a machine-gunner, was he in Cyprus or Afghanistan, etc, and can any evidence of his existence in these roles be shown? Have you ever heard of a man who changed his name apparently just because his mother re-married? It ought to be the role of British courts to uphold our traditions of freedom of expression.

I suggest, Sir, that that court case of yours was a travesty of justice.

Yours truly,

etc.
