Gerrard Batten MEP |
So infuriated was Gerard Batten MEP with the contents of the article and the tweets form Jasna and I that followed, he complained to the Metropolitan Police of feeling 'threatened, harassed and intimidated'.
The compliant from Batten, was that Jasna comments in the article above, an article that I wrote bear in mind, was causing him alarm and distress.
Yet there has been no police compliant or legal challenge to the accuracy of the piece from either UKIP or the Metropolitan Police.
In another terrible twist in this deeply worrying tale Jasna has been charged with 'harassment'.

Any complaints about Jasna political comments, should a civil not a criminal matter. Why are the Met so insistent in involving themselves as agents of Battens political campaign? How is it, that the Crown Prosecution Service has agreed that Jasna is guilty of harassment for calling UKIP fascists, accusing them of potentially committing serious EU expenses fraud, an accusation subsequently repeated by mainstream press.
I find her latest arrest, both alarming and deeply ironic. Notwithstanding the very serious complaints and accusations Jasna makes in my original article that suggest a corrupt network of UKIP supporters in the Met Police, possibly the Crown Prosecution Service, the fact that Batten is trying to silence her voice through criminal as opposed to civil law, is revealing.
For UKIP, the libertarian leaning party of 'free speech' to seek to actively criminalise its critics, reveals the real political character of this 'party of the people'
I conclude that whilst Batten can't challenge the facts of the article, he is confident that he can get the Met to prosecute a case, he can't prosecute in the civil courts.
The serious complaints and questions articulated in my original piece remain unanswered.
It seems to me that Jasna is being subjected to a relentless and on going camping of police harassment.
What is clear, is that Batten and UKIP, don't want the information in this article to reach a wider audience. I
In supporting Jasna, I ask that you ensure the original article and this update ,get circulated far and wide.
Jasna will fight this case despite her failing ill health. The question I ask is why, Greater London Authority Assembly Members or the Mayor himself have not asked serious questions in relation to these matters?
