Ian Puddick and his unfaithful ‘wife’…

“This is a victory for freedom of speech and the small man” Ian Puddick proclaimed after his legal ‘victory’ in June 2011.

According to Puddick… David had beaten Goliath in a rematch at Horseferry Road. Not David at all in fact but rather Michael Wolkind QC.

Without the expertise and crafty cross-examination of Wolkind, there is little doubt Puddick would have been convicted. Did he harass his nemesis Tim Haynes?

Puddick repeatedly contacted the Haynes’, even when they had asked him not to. The Freedom from Harassment Act states that it is an offence to contact someone if they have asked you not to. Two such incidents thereafter becomes harassment.

Puddick certainly did harass the Haynes’ even after they had asked him not to. One can understand the man’s fury at discovering an affair between his wife and Tim Haynes. He felt betrayed and rightly so and decided to hit back having been hurt quite deeply.

These are entirely normal human reactions to stress and emotional turmoil. Someone should have taken pity on him. The police should simply have cautioned the man and shown some understanding for his plight.

His champagne guzzling wife had been conducting an affair behind his back for years. Leena had a taste for the high life and Tim Haynes paid for it, in more ways than one. An escort girl might have been cheaper…

Puddick claims he was subjected to a campaign of harassment and threats by the City of London Police and Kroll aka the ‘Wall Street CIA’.

Indeed, Puddick’s Linkedin profile is a revealing insight into the man and his bizarre claims about his past.

There is little doubt they went overboard in their pursuit of a “small man”. Heavy-handed tactics par excellence was completely unnecessary.

When Puddick set up his website police expenses; the campaign against him escalated and he in turn hit back embarrassing the elite into action against him.

The outpouring of pity and sympathy for the “small man” was bringing him public support. He milked it for all it was worth and continued his ‘campaign’ emboldened.

I noticed his campaign on Facebook. I have been investigating and exposing police corruption for years. His allegations against the police sparked my interest further.

Having spoken to him on the telephone several times, I formed the impression that Puddick was an extremely naive man regarding the Establishment.

He assured me he was not anti-Establishment and just out to tell the truth. It had not occured to him that the rotten Establishment have no tolerance for people who dare to expose their crimes, lies and replete dirty tricks. It was like dealing with a child.

I asked how he could not be anti-Establishment after being given a taste of their version of ‘freedom of speech’ and ‘democracy’? “I’m just a plumber. Never voted in my life. I’m not political at all.”

Campaigning with placards directly opposite Parliament not political? The man was either self-deluded or a liar.

His phone calls increased as the trial date loomed closer. The stress of his ‘apolitical’ campaign was taking its toll, understandably, given the fact it was political.

I gave him well-intentioned advice on para-politics, the police and most of all the mantraps of the mainstream media, particularly the journo-crooks at ‘work’ in the press.

Isla Reid – Fantasist

After his case concluded Puddick was busy touting the press who had perceived his value as a “useful idiot” in the public relations game. They quickly dropped the “cuckold case” smear and reinvented Puddick as a ‘free speech’ campaigner in the space of 48 hours. It was becoming the usual media panto’…

I was contacted by Isla Reid through Facebook and we agreed the Puddick case had nothing to do with ‘free speech’ and was in fact “all about Ian” as I put it. She replied: “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

Puddick had been asked to distance himself from me if he wanted press coverage. Arriving at the common denominator every time “all about Ian,” he did as he was asked. In a second, the treacherous rodent dropped me for five minutes of fame and a few quid.

A source at The Sun told me all about it. I put it to Puddick but he did not reply and would not take my calls. Traitor and coward but I was not surprised. I have quite literally seen it all before where it comes to human beings, money and power corrupts.

Isla Reid came on keen offering me paid work as a consolation prize. Having used Puddick as her point of introduction, I had little doubt she was playing games.

She contacted me on Skype in a video call – video calling deactivated at my end – and she came through clearly offering me £500 to write all the literature for her website and ‘campaign’ leaflets.

Apparently, she was starting a charity to “remember murder victims forgotten by the media.” Her colleague Marcus Van Willing (not a porn star) would fund the project. But there was a catch, as always, we had to meet in London.

We continued the call and Reid came across as a female Walter Mitty… She claimed to have worked as an MI5 officer for six months until they made her job description “reduntant”. It was laughable. Why would MI5 teach a recruit the tricks of the trade and then throw them on the dole queue?

Before that Reid claimed to have served in the Royal Navy but had to leave when she fell pregnant. Her next claim was that she was now a trainee with the British Transport Police and had access to the Police National Computer…

The distinct whiff of live bait was overwhelming. Several times she dropped the hint of having access to the PNC. I was not biting and she finished the phising expedition with “it’s crazy they allow trainees to have access to the PNC.”

All the keywords had been used. ‘MI5′, ‘police’, ‘Royal Navy’ and ‘PNC’. And she claimed to live in Buckinghamshire no less; I have extensive ancestral connections in the county. I agreed to meet her on 27 June 2011 at 11.00 hrs outside Euston Tube Station.

I was determined to draw her poison like puss from a wound. She was not genuine but I had to find out the exact nature of her transparent game.

Unsurprisingly, Reid failed to show. I called her mobile, no answer, several times. I withheld my number, waited 5 minutes and called again; she answered straight away, obviously expecting a call from someone else…

“Simon, oh, er, sorry, I got held up by a bomb scare this morning on the Beaconsfield to Marylebone line. I’m on the platform, still waiting for a train to London.”

Walter Mitty had nothing on this girl. She promised to meet at 12.15 hrs at Marylebone. Would I go across there and meet her? I agreed. I would ask the staff there at Chiltern Railways if there had been a “bomb scare” on the line…

I made off for Tottenham Court Road to do some window shopping and to ascertain if I’d picked up any foot surveillance. Satisfied everything was clear, I set off on foot for Marylebone.

Arriving there at 12.03 hrs, I was greeted with a train arriving from Beaconsfield. No bomb scare at all. I asked the staff at Chiltern Railways and they confirmed no bomb scare on the line that morning. I also checked the local and national news wires, nothing.

Walter Reid as it were had indeed been playing a very dangerous game. Her mobile had also gone dark. I decided to stick around for a while, see what happened. I changed location several times in 30 minutes. Not a thing, not even a routine police patrol in sight.

It was a very quiet, perhaps too quiet day. It reminded me of the incident on Sussex Gardens in April 2006. The incident is covered in my book Counter Spy…

The next day, after not hearing from him since the trial began, Puddick was back on the blower. We discussed Reid and the incident the previous day. He denied knowing her but alleged she was “working for Kroll”… All very neat and tidy.

I telephoned Kroll, blagging, pretending to be an old friend and could I speak to Isla Reid. The switchboard operator confirmed no Isla Reid worked at any Kroll office in the UK. So much for Puddick’s latest conspiracy theory.

Soon afterwards, I was contacted by Diane Taylor in Northern Ireland. She later appeared on Edge TV with Puddick and whilst she said he was a “serial fuckin’ liar, I can’t fall out wi him, because I need him to get my own story out
.”

Puddick had recruited another female pawn. Taylor said he was “rude, self-obsessed and arrogant wi me. No fuckin’ way was I tolerating that and told him so, so I did.” But Taylor needed Puddick to promote her own story… To hell with principles.

She explained how Puddick tells everyone he’s reunited with his errant wife but told Taylor they were actually living separate lives in the same property and planning to divorce. Yet more lies or just tyring to get into her knickers.

Puddick tells his supporters he did not get a penny from the press for his stories but confided in me he’d been paid by the Daily Mail. Yet more lies and contraindications from the man who scored a victory for “freedom of speech and the small man.”

He claims a statement from the UK director of Kroll confirms that organisation use “untraceable phones” to contact people. Puddick claims the phones are used by “drug dealers and terrorists.” How would he know this… does the plumber deal with terrorists and drug dealers on a regular basis?

In fact the statement to the police mentions ‘a sterile payg mobile phone’. There is no mention of “untraceable phones” at all. The man has no idea what he’s talking about so he concocts allegations.

This also calls into question a bug Puddick claims was planted in his home by Kroll operatives. A 20-year-old antique no less. Would the ‘Wall Street CIA’ use such backward technology? I very much doubt it! In fact I doubt everything Puddick says.

Useful idiot Caroline Knight

Recently, I broke off contact with Caroline Knight who had appeared with Puddick on Edge TV in Buckinghamshire. “He’s being very friendly to me” said Knight before I kicked her into touch as a security measure. Last I heard, Puddick and Knight were embroiled in a relationship.

The measure of the ‘man’ is to be found in his use and abuse of women to do his dirty work. Too much of a coward to do it himself! Why did his wife have an affair by the way?

On Edge TV on New Year’s Eve, Puddick waffled on about police corruption. Were the police corrupt when they arrested him with a can outlawed pepper spray in his van? Perhaps they planted it on him LOL…

“Police corruption is like looking for a good apple in a barrel full of bad apples,” Puddick explained, using the words of his lawyer Michael Wolkind QC and agreed with him. Edge TV lapped it up.

I watched the show on the advice of Caroline Knight, who claims her grandfather was an “MI5 officer in WWII. Another one of Puddick’s stooges and that MI5 and Buckinghamshire connection again…

Two weeks later on Twitter, another story emerged. This time Puddick had changed his tune on police corruption. The problem was now just a handful of crooked cops. The “looking for a good apple in a barrel full of bad apples” was dropped. Perhaps he found a new one and a real barrell of laughs it is.

Puddick changes tune with the frequency of an inexperienced TV tuner. Indeed, he promises a ground breaking Channel 4 documentary soon on Operation Bohan and police corruption. Should be an entertaining comedy if the past is anything to go by.

The rise of the “useful idiot” is now complete and the media have found another toy to tune to their frequency… “All about Ian.”

Puddick a serious socio-political campaigner and reformer?

A couple of weeks ago he embraced Michael Portillo for a photo shoot outside Parliament… “He’s a great guy” Puddick drooled over the odious creep.

Take Puddick for what he is, an Establishment man by his own confession. He craves the approval of the Establishment and drools over Establishment crooks and their media puppets. A reformer?

At his trial Michael Wolkind QC said the case was about “defending the right to shout LIAR in a crowded chat room.”

And here I am doing just that in the public interest.

In fact, I have asked Puddick and his useful idiots to meet me to repeat their smears to my face but the cowards have refused my invitation.

Puddick is best dismissed as a quasi keyboard ‘warrior’ who does not have the requisite moral or physical courage to fight for real justice.
