Believing in our justice system
to see the good and innocent in others is what Darren Grimes counted on for the
past three years. The vehement towards the young man was decidedly spiteful and
misplaced, no-one deserves the avalanche of abuse Grimes was forced to endure.
Thankfully, Judge Marc Dight did put this into consideration while concluding
the case. What was striking was the Electoral Commission’s case against BeLeave
and Grimes personally; it focused on prejudices, and displaced bureaucracy. Altogether,
Judge Dight correctly saw the wood beside the forest of rhetoric and made clear
that BeLeave was simply a campaign group without a formal constitution, and was
brought together by like-minded individuals, who’d agreed to believe in
something political.
To make Grimes an example at this
point of political chaos would surely be sending out the wrong message to a
nation’s core principle - a freedom to
protest: what’s germane is Grimes attempted to meet his obligations to the
commission which were instructed; by doing so to the best of his capability
this eliminated any reason Grimes was being insincere. If we truly judged
humanity this harshly you’ll be ridding humanity of its natural characteristics
and where would this leave humanity? Under a rock, afraid to achieve anything
possibly; indeed, the fundamental reason for bureaucracy wasn’t supposed to
trick individuals into a formulated entrapment, it’s purely devised to
facilitate records not to galvanise emotive (s).
There’s a sense that this young
man was sacrificed a numerous of ways – (1)
bi-directional media abuse. (2) The Electoral Commission: (their red tape fiascos
border on fixated prejudices which encroached onto dehumanised practice) – (3) Vote Leave: (the role which Vote Leave didn’t play, was to
a young man who had no previous experience of jurisprudence). Indirectly, this was tougher to stomach than
the other two opposition ‘attack
groups.’ Of course, whistle-blowers
have fragmented from the core Vote Leave team of 2016; alas, you’d have thought
they’ll want to bask in the winning team mentality and stick together.
Especially as the Gisela Stuart, (Chairman) Matthew Elliott (CEO) and Dominic
Cumming’s (Campaign Director) philosophy brazenly announce all ‘Leave’ voices speak as one.
This formulated buzz phrase is a
fair reflection of what ‘Leave’ was all about during the EUREF2016 campaign;
herewith after 23/06/16, the tight-knit band of brothers and sisters wasn’t quite
as apparent. I suspect Grimes bought into the ‘unity philosophy’ in its entirety and believed in an element of
the perceived safeguard he’d get during the two year negotiation process, once
Article 50 was triggered. Unfair to categorically state Grimes was ingenuous of
the premise, he’d zero reason to question the ‘Vote Leave Team.’ Even the 680K donation from Vote Leave to
BeLeave wasn’t necessarily to the detriment of Grimes purely as the common understanding
that BeLeave was under the umbrella of Leave doctrine – and the Vote Leave
chieftains knew the rules and were trusted to adhere to them, meaning that to
the ilk of Grimes, Cummings & Co wasn’t exactly breaching rules and
regulations.
Overall, it beggars belief that
the Electoral Commission spent 500K to nail one individual -- and charge him an
excessive fine of 20k, was incoherent, and I wonder if the Electoral Commission was
trying to disengage Darren Grimes from Leave’s cultist behaviour (s) by using
him as an example. Therefore, by being highly prejudicial on purpose, they
expected to create another whistle-blower. Naturally, they misjudged his
tenacity towards a political cause, but you get the gist why the Electoral
Commission would consider this unorthodox pathway.
Grimes initially pounded the
streets as a Lib Dem, Pro-EU activist only a year earlier, that’s a tremendous transmogrification of any standard. What happened? Grimes said in 2015; “We’ve a fight on our hands and it’s the
perfect opportunity to get our internationalist, Pro-EU liberal voice heard and
out there. I’m full of confidence that everyone in this group will canvass the
hell out of everyone they can to stay in Europe.” The area of contention I
have with the Electoral Commission is they assumed he was coerced by the LGBT
community, but their bureaucratic crusade effectually impeached his human
rights - ironically, via the European Court Human Rights. He has a counter-sue case,
if he wants to follow through with it.
Sadly, on a human level, I knew
that Grimes felt safe in the arms of Vote Leave. He was away from his comforts
of County Durham and he felt he belonged with his new family of Brexiters, for any young
individual this was a superb opportunity most students would take up. Activism
is activism and there are always winners and losers. Grimes felt like a winner
and this usually includes rewards / performance incentives-- on the emotional
front, the reward hasn’t been prevalent, crowdfunding to cover your legal bill
is quite a feat - so it’ll be worth suing Vote Leave for philosophy negligence of the factor the case has taken a huge toll
on all concerned with Darren Grimes and in truth it was all meaningless.
The report of
Jonathan Isaby from BrexitCentral astounded me, for he gauged the case against
Grimes result would’ve gone the same way for Vote Leave if they hadn’t paid the
Commission’s fine. This wouldn’t have been happened, as the status was totally
different – Vote Leave was fully aware of the campaign rule impeachment, why Christopher
Wylie from ‘Alternative IQ’ was
enlisted into the funding trail, because it wasn’t part of the moniker
syndicate of ‘Leave.’ Under electoral law campaign groups are able to transfer
funds, alas have no input to how monies are directed. So, any advice Grimes may’ve
given Wylie and ‘AIQ’ was merely speculative and even if monies got transferred
back, to BeLeave there’s no reason why BeLeave would’ve known it originally
came from Vote Leave - hence, Isaby totally misrepresented Vote Leave’s position.
The lack of detail emerging with BrexitCentral suggests there’s a Cultist
pattern which stinks of rampant Vote Leave populism, the sort of irrational
potency you get from Widdecombe’s Science or in one of Bannon’s Judeo-Christian
Academies in Europe.
Our public domain
is a crowded place when it comes to data storage but the patterns of abundant
accounts / businesses are startlingly similar, there’s a plethora of bureaucratic
repetitions affiliated with Vote Leave and their contacts. Notably, what Brexit
whistle-blowers found decidedly concerning was Vote Leave’s insistence of
setting up a separate bank account possibly for money laundering purposes.
Every decision was from a strategist who walks in the corridor of power,
knowing full well that he had the gift of hindsight to thwart a possible prison
sentence. What a dramatic end to this sorry political saga if the perpetrators
got their just rewards; albeit, this look unlikely; however, if Darren Grimes
really saw the light he’ll start legal proceedings, instead of being cast
adrift by the Leave syndicates and sacrificed - fortunately Judge Dight did see
the light.
