Pocock, Binface & nobodies vs Farage: defamation before UK High Court

2026-08-20T15:30:00+02:00

A Letter of Claim has been sent to Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK in relation to the widely quoted defamation on the night of the Clacton-on-Sea by-election in 2026.

One of the key remedies sought is a sum of compensation of five million pounds to be paid to each of the rival candidates disparaged in news reports about "nobodies".

We are currently looking for a defamation lawyer to advance the claim on our behalf.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is a nobody

Here is a full copy of the Letter of Claim:

From: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>

To: Nigel Farage <clacton@reformuk.com>

CC: [ other candidates ]

Subject: Nigel Farage / Letter of Claim / defamation, 13/14 August 2026

Attn: Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK

Dear Mr Farage,

This letter of claim is being sent to you as part of the pre-trial protocol for defamation proceedings in the High Court.

On the night of 13/14 August 2026, you gave a speech to Reform UK supporters claiming your rival candidates are "nobodies".

In the speech, you thanked your own supporters. You thanked the staff from Tendring District Council who administered the by-election. You did not thank your opponents or give us any acknowledgement except the assertion that we are "nobodies".

Your act of bad sportsmanship and the defamation carried more weight because you are the leader of a political party and you have been in the public eye for many years.

Your act of bad sportsmanship and the defamation was more severe due to the asymmetrical nature of your campaign budget and advantages you held as the incumbent member compared to our own campaigns. These advantages you hold are exacerbated by the first-past-the-post voting system in the UK.

While some candidates competed against you on a novelty theme, many of us competed on serious themes. Even novelty candidates raised some serious issues. Many of us showed up to campaign each day just as the community expects an elected MP to show up for work each day. Nobody, absolutely nobody, is a nobody.

In the same speech, you ask people to remember those who fought in world wars. My great grandfather came to the UK and France in World War 1. My great uncle served in the pacific in World War 2. My peers in the fellowship elected me to represent them before the German FSFE on ANZAC Day, 25 April 2017. I bravely did my job as a representative and exposed the FSFE as an example of Nigerian fraud. When I came to Clacton, you told the local community and the rest of the world I am a nobody.

Your act of bad sportsmanship and the defamation was reported in news stories the world over, from the BBC in the UK to the ABC in Australia and everything in between. The news stories typically included a list of all of our names and the word "nobodies".

I kindly request you rectify this matter within 14 days or sooner. I propose the following list of corrective measures and I invite my fellow candidates to add to this list:

each week, Reform UK will conduct at least one Town Hall-style event on one of the policies raised by a rival candidate in the campaign. At least two of your MPs will attend each of these events and will be on stage with at least one of the candidates who raised the relevant policy issue. These events do not necessarily have to be in the same constituency.

for 90 days, the Reform UK web site, main page, is to be replaced with an apology, the names, professions and faces of the so-called "nobodies" and links to our web sites

up until voting closes at the next General Election, an apology will continue to be present in a prominent position on every page of the Reform UK web site

for a period of five years, all of the rival candidates will be added to the list of unaccompanied guests / lobbyists sponsored by one of your MPs to come and go as we please in Westminster

each rival candidate will be awarded £5 million compensation for the global embarrassment your bad sportsmanship has inflicted on us

all of these measures will be announced to the public by way of your social media, a Reform press release and a dedicated Reform media conference where the rival candidates can share the stage with you

you will pay for the cost of a public relations consultant to liaise with the press and have corrections added to all the stories containing the "nobodies" quote.

resolve the pledge you made on 7 July 2026 to pay election expenses before the deadline for the rest of us to complete our election returns

produce "nobody is a nobody" hats, t-shirts and stickers and distribute them to every home in Clacton

use the "nobody is a nobody" phrase in all the apologies, social media and press communications about the apology

Should you fail to resolve the matter amicably within 14 days, I invite fellow candidates to join me in a class action for defamation before the King's Bench Division, Media and Communications List in the High Court.

Sincerely,

Daniel Pocock

Farage’s fears, media hijacked by-election, what really happened in Clacton

2026-08-14T16:00:00+02:00

In the final week of the Clacton-on-Sea by-election, I had to make two calls to 999 about two separate incidents. 999 is the British equivalent of 911 in the US, 112 in Europe and 000 in Australia. On the day before voting, I revealed after the Fellowship elected me on ANZAC Day in 2017 and Diana von Bidder entered the Basel parliament, a group promoting a registered sex offender spent over $120,000 to have me molested. So far, that group has largely failed. Among other things, after the misfits stole fourteen domain names from me for the purpose of censorship, other people have registered four hundred more Debian domain names.

On 13 August 2026, the count night, it was clear by midnight that Nigel Farage, the guy who resigned was going to win.

By about 3am, it was clear that a novelty candidate, Count Binface, had gained a lot more votes than he achieved in the recent Makerfield by-election in June. Here are the real statistics from general elections and by-elections for Westminster contested by Count Binface:

Contest	Votes for Binface
2019 General election	69
2023 Uxbridge by-election	190
2024 General election		308
2026 Makerfield by-election		95
2026 Clacton by-election	9,455

Prior to Clacton-on-Sea, the results for Count Binface were often similar to the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and other fringe candidates. How did he suddenly get so many votes?

Presumably, if every novelty candidate and every independent candidate received equal media coverage, the results would be far different.

On 19 June 2026, at the count night for the recent Makerfield by-election, when results were read out, Count Binface managed to stand right beside the winner, Andy Burnham. Photographs show them together, even though there is no alleged relation between them.

Later that same day, the BBC published a report Why candidates dress up to run in major UK elections where they have a tightly cropped photo of Count Binface next to Andy Burnham. This was free publicity for Count Binface before anybody knew there would be an election in Clacton-on-Sea.

On 7 July 2026, Nigel Farage resigned. Count Binface immediately announced he would contest the by-election. Other major parties immediately announced they would not contest the by-election. The leader of one major party commented that Nigel Farage would spend the summer arguing with a bin. While she had referred to Count Binface, it was not an endorsement. No major party appeared to endorse anybody. All these facts were reported together without Count Binface having said anything more about policy than a few weeks prior when he got 95 votes in Makerfield.

From that point on, even as other candidates put our names forward, most of the media continued to run stories about a two-way Farage-vs-Binface contest.

The free publicity given to Count Binface in the first few days of media reporting allowed him to raise GBP 15,000 in donations while most candidates didn't receive any donations at all.

On 17 July 2026 it was confirmed 34 candidates had submitted a valid nomination before the deadline. This was the new record for the most candidates in a British election.

On the same day, 17 July, it was confirmed Andy Burnham, who had been in the BBC's June report about Count Binface, had been chosen as the new Prime Minister. This added to a sense of prestige around Count Binface without him actually having done anything of substance to earn it.

Nonetheless, the media continued to emphasize a contest between Nigel Farage and Count Binface.

The Survation telephone poll was conducted between 16 July and 24 July. Participants called by the survey were only given the names of three candidates, Nigel Farage, Laurence Fox and Count Binface. Everybody else was classified under a single category, "Another party or candidate". The process of calling voters to ask them this question adds bias to their vote.

On 3 August, the results of the Survation poll were published, telling people that seventy three percent of people faced with a rigged question would vote for Nigel Farage and twenty percent of people faced with the same rigged question would vote for Count Binface. Based on the 502 responses to the poll, the media continued producing stories about a two-way contest between Nigel Farage and Count Binface.

Many voters I met in person were very angry about this. They felt the BBC and other media were telling them to make a tactical vote for Count Binface. Word got around that Count Binface was an Oxford educated comedian who was also doing paid work for the BBC. This added to the perception the elites of west London were having a joke at Clacton's expense while news reports told us nothing about candidates with real policies and real connections to the community.

On Thursday, 6 August, there was a hustings / debate event at the Clacton-on-Sea Town Hall. Nigel Farage and Count Binface did not attend at all. There were less than fifteen local residents who attended. I suspect some of them were undercover members of political parties or supporters of the candidates on stage. In any case, the local residents at the meeting were outnumbered by the journalists. Ironically, imbalance between journalists and residents at the event may have been a result of the media failing to promote the hustings event in advance.

There were 34 candidates in the election and I saw less than half of them actively campaigning in the district. Only a third of the candidates attended the hustings event. The same group of us attended the count night while most stayed home.

In 2024 General Election, 43% of people in Clacton didn't vote at all. In the by-election, 56% of people didn't vote. If the media gave more attention to serious candidates, I suspect more of those people who stayed home would have come out to vote.

It is worth comparing Count Binface's performance to Howling Laud Hope, a co-founder of the Official Monster Raving Looney Party. Mr Hope's party is known all around the world as a champion of novelty candidates. Mr Hope was competing in his 38th election, another British record. He is Britain's longest serving leader of a political party. Yet Howling Laud Hope only received 18 votes, that is two more than me.

In fact, everybody could see this disaster unfolding well before the official voting day. I published my report about media bias four days before polling day. The report demonstrates how even the church newsletter ignored other candidates and gave the impression Nigel Farage had already won.

Not only did media bias help Count Binface get a lot more votes but it also prevented any other candidate from having a credible chance of winning. This, in turn, seems to have resulted in many residents not casting a vote at all.

Despite having demanded the election to prove his support from the community, Nigel Farage refused to attend the declaration of results. There were mixed messages about whether he refused to come due to a plot to humiliate him or due to a "credible threat" of some kind. If he feels the police were not able to protect him in this highly secured environment then it makes me wonder how he will be able to do the job of working within his constituency for the next three years.

There was intense interest in my reports about corruption in Switzerland & Debian. The Reform UK officials present at the vote counting appeared to be aware of this and I felt they were going out of their way to avoid me. In hindsight, it made me feel this may be the reason Nigel Farage didn't want to be photographed with people like Count Binface and I in the same room. Here is the photo created by the journalists at SBS in Australia:

Was Nigel Farage afraid of an Australian? The police didn't seem to be afraid. They didn't seem to be too interested either. We can thank them for their night out protecting the candidates who dared to show up, despite the odds against us.

In conclusion, the media changed the result of the election. If the media had backed a serious candidate instead of a novelty candidate, we may have had a lot more people come out to vote. We may have been able to win the argument that Farage doesn't do any work for Clacton. The media push for Count Binface had the opposite effect: they promoted a candidate who could never get enough support from every side to actually win. The fear about a joke on Clacton may have encouraged more votes for Farage and justified his warnings about the Establishment.

Swiss army to attack 2,900 domain name owners? Cult of ETH Zurich & Debian

2026-08-13T11:00:00+02:00

On 6 May 2024, I published a screenshot from the DNSlytics web site demonstrating 2,564 domain names contain the Debian trademark.

On 4 February 2025, I published another screenshot from DNSlytics demonstrating 2,655 domain names contain the Debian trademark.

Today, I made a fresh query for the Debian trademark using DNSlytics. There are now 2,928 domain names using the Debian trademark.

The rogue Debianists spent $120,000 in kill money to steal 14 domain names from me in 2024. They lied to people and said this was about protecting the Debian trademark. So far they did not spend any money on any of the other 2,900 domain names. Therefore, we know this was not about trademarks at all. The trademark was just an excuse for the total obsession some of these people have with my family and I.

Earlier this week, there was another incident of aggression in a public place. These incidents have not been random. Every time I have one of these negative experiences with an acquaintance or a stranger, I feel the hatred of the Swiss racists and rogue Debianists who commit murder-by-proxy.

Dr Schestowitz has written about similar phenomena on Techrights. He claims these bastards tried to use British police as a tool to molest him and his wife.

In a specific case, I demonstrated how another one of my co-authors, Raphael Hertzog has been using the Debian trademark in a domain name for many years. He promotes his domain name and business on the Debian.org web site and mailing lists but there has been no effort to protect the Debian trademark from Raphael Hertzog.

The cult of ETH Zurich

Notice how in Switzerland, a gay employee of the ETH Zurich has tried to use the police to molest me. This reduces Axel Beckert to the same level as the registered sex offender enthusiastically invited to so many community conferences, that is, Jeremy Bicha.

Essentially, Switzerland is not a very big country and there are only two of these prestigious engineering schools in the country. When people graduate from these schools or even work for these schools it gets to their head. They act like members of a cult.

Personally, I never said anything about the Debian suicide cluster for many years. I understood this was a particularly sensitive subject for people in Switzerland. After some of these people started indulging their racist obsession on my family and I, since 2018, they have no right to demand that I stay silent about the people they killed with their toxic personalities and their toxic culture.

Not only is Diana von Bidder-Senn a graduate of the elite ETH Zurich but she also boasts about her PhD qualifications from ETH Zurich when she ran for public office in 2021 and subsequent elections.

Her husband, who died on our wedding day, was leader of the student organisation VIS at ETH Zurich, among other things.

Therefore, both of these people have a much higher profile among the alumni of ETH Zurich. Is it simply coincidence they spend $120,000 on a crusade to "protect the trademark" at exactly the same time Diana von Bidder-Senn ran for public office?

On 14 March 2022, a legal panel confirmed that I am a victim of harassment and abuse by IBM Red Hat. The main European research and engineering centers for both IBM and Google are situated in Zurich, in close proximity to ETH Zurich.

On 11 September 2022, six months after the public confirmation that I am one of the real victims of this cult, Axel Beckert, a gay man associated with a registered sex offender through their collaboration on Debianism, signed the document begging the police to molest me.

Was this attempt to molest me a reprisal for the earlier finding that IBM Red Hat abused me?

Another key feature of the scandal: when Axel Beckert conspired to use the police to molest me, they submitted close to 20 pages of social media gossip but they hid the fact that it involves the death on our wedding day, they didn't tell the police about the connection to a politician, Diana von Bidder and they didn't tell the police that Beckert sleeps with one of my former colleagues. These are obviously the most significant facts in the case so why did they hide them and try to bamboozle the police with other rumours?

Having spent many years in Switzerland and even become a citizen of the country, it is easier for me to see the cult-like nature of this behaviour. Whether it is men in robes, men in uniforms or men who continue to wear their ETH Zurich badges and lanyards on public transport after leaving work, when they start working together to pick off a lone volunteer and humiliate that person, we need to look at the police and the employees of ETH Zurich the same way we look at the rogue priests who picked off children at Corpus Christi seminary:

How a Melbourne seminary became the breeding ground for paedophile rings

Corpus Christi was where sexually repressed men could “act out” with each other, living double lives, then transfer their attentions to the most innocent in their flocks.

...

According to a civil lawsuit due to be filed in court this week, Father Russell Vears guided the 14-year-old boy, [redacted], into the building, down a corridor with rooms on both sides, and to a communal area where four or five other boys were already sitting, waiting on a couch.

If you question the credibility of any one ETH Zurich graduate or employee, all the rest of them suddenly develop a rash. In cybersecurity, however, if we want to keep Switzerland secure we need to be able to comply with international best practice. That means the public disclosure of data breaches, vulnerabilities, censorship and social engineering attacks in open source software.

Switzerland operates a number of nuclear facilities and complies with international standards for the public disclosure of any nuclear incidents on Swiss territory. Why is there such an irrational and medieval obsession with covering up cybersecurity incidents, even in cases where there was an analogous and pre-existing duty of disclosure?

Clacton manifesto: Reform UK hacking, leaks, raw sewage & 8GB Swiss Archive

2026-08-12T14:00:00+02:00

The end of my campaign in the Clacton-on-Sea by-election is close. The guy who resigned in July admits hitching his wagon to the high priests of social control media and cryptocurrency. If the much-anticipated Bitcoin market implosion were to occur before polling commences on Thursday, Reform UK supporters could very quickly abandon their party. The manifestos published by rival candidates will be vital reading for voters making up their mind at the last minute.

Here is the video about police from Switzerland being used as a weapon against unpaid volunteers to try and destroy evidence about the Debian suicide cluster. This is contrary to UK law on gross negligence manslaughter:

[Your web browser has failed to display the video, you can click here to download and watch it]

In July, every household in Clacton received a piece of the truth in their letterbox: the fact that this other engineer died on our wedding day, starting a fifteen year campaign of online harassment against my family.

This is one side of the flyer distributed in letterboxes:

Moving to Clacton-on-Sea

I first came from Australia to the UK in 2002. As a consultant in technology, I have regularly relocated for the needs of clients and employers.

Approximately twenty percent of the people I spoke to in Clacton-on-Sea tell me they expect their new MP to make a sincere effort to relocate and live in Clacton-on-Sea. If the people vote for me to work for them, I will treat my constituents like any other client and I will immediately relocate and base myself where they want me: in the constituency.

This is one of the few campaign promises voters can trust: official statistics tell us ninety-nine percent of Australians live within one hour of a beach. In other words, Clacton-on-Sea is my natural habitat.

Reduction of VAT from twenty percent to ten percent like Australia

Many other countries survive and prosper with a lower rate of consumption tax than the UK.

The guy who resigned frequently talks about his desire to copy the Australian immigration system. Why not copy the Australian VAT system too? It is time to look at all options to reduce the VAT from twenty percent to ten percent. This will boost sales revenues for businesses of all sizes and create new jobs.

Local first: where local needs meet the national agenda

In the second leaflet distributed personally to voters, I've emphasized two local policies.

The first local policy commitment is the construction of a tramway linking Jaywick, Clacton, Holland-on-Sea, Frinton and Walton-on-the-Naze.

The second major policy is the commitment to making Clacton-on-Sea a wellness hub for all ages. Wellness is about dignified living. Closely intertwined with that is my suspicion about attempts to promote the notion of so-called "dignified" dying. This is a slippery slope.

I understand some voters have expressed concerns about people who seek political asylum. Why don't these voters have at least the same outrage for the floaters that wash up on the Clacton region's beaches due to substandard infrastructure for wastewater treatment?

National security: Reform UK hacking, leaks & the 8GB Swiss Archive

As already explained in my submission to the European Commission, countries serious about sovereignty need to have sovereign app stores. Likewise, any apps the public use for essential services like communication and bill payment need to be fully transparent and open source. This is an attitude that is universally agreed upon by experts in data privacy and cybersecurity.

When the former member of parliament resigned, he admitted he couldn't protect his own party from hacking and leaks.

The smell of a huge contradiction is nauseating. In the same resignation speech, he boasted about his seven million followers on social control media.

Each year, IBM produces their well-known Cost of a data breach report. IBM's report typically ranks social engineering attacks as one of the most pervasive and expensive challenges faced by industry and society.

Ironically, the seven million followers the former member for Clacton boasts about can be taken away from him in the blink of an eye. In January 2021, the Silicon Valley overlords demonstrated their immense social engineering powers when they bypassed the courts and simply cut off the social control media accounts of then-US President Donald Trump. They demonstrated their social engineering powers a second time when they unilaterally decided to restore Donald Trump's use of social control media in 2024, allowing him to win another term as president.

In another irony, the former member for Clacton built his reputation as a champion of UK sovereignty while his resignation speech admits both his own personal security and his connection with his supporters are entirely dependent upon and under the control of wealthy foreigners.

The brochure I posted to homes at the beginning of the campaign explains how another engineer died on the same day as our wedding. When we see the possibility his death was part of the Debian suicide cluster, we need to contemplate the fact even the engineers who make this technology are vulnerable to social engineering and exploitation.

Imagine having a memory like Adrian von Bidder's death on your wedding anniversary every year. The victim's wife, Diana von Bidder-Senn became the mayor of Basel. At the same time as her rise in Swiss politics, over $US120,000 was spent to try and have Swiss authorities destroy evidence of the Debian suicide cluster.

Why did they spend all this money if they are not hiding something about Adrian von Bidder's death on our wedding day? Here is some of the kill money identified in public financial disclosures:

In fact, academics and experts agree transparency, including the publication of data breaches and the publication of open source software, is a key ingredient for better cybersecurity. In contradiction of this principle, Switzerland is trying to use their national brand and police violence to hide data breaches and evidence about incompetent officials.

The need for real experts in every parliament was emphasized by the accidental leak from Victoria's parliamentary cult inquiry in the middle of the Clacton election campaign.

Diana von Bidder-Senn, who is both the mayor of Basel and the widow of the victim who died on our wedding day, obtained a PhD in cybersecurity from ETH Zurich, one of Switzerland's top two polytechnic universities. In contradiction of industry best practice, she took down the writing on his blog and refused to release any documents about the death.

As she is using her credentials as an expert in cybersecurity to advance her career in public life, does she needs to explain whether she accessed her late husband's email account and discovered the records of previous deaths in the Debian suicide cluster or whether she failed to detect this influence on her husband?

Cults, leaks, 8GB Swiss Archive & Debian

When I first went to work on a project for UBS in Zurich, the expectations of privacy and security were made clear to me. Here is the reference letter from UBS:

I have always shown one hundred percent commitment to the security and privacy of my clients. Simultaneously, my clients and employers were given a promise of one hundred percent transparency about the open source organisations they rely. Why are my clients and employers banned from reading about the social engineering attacks that have compromised the integrity of the open source software ecosystem in recent years?

Despite my total respect for the privacy of my clients in the financial services sector, racist Swiss people have shown nothing but contempt for the privacy of my own family.

People can only wonder what is included in the 8GB Swiss Archive I've offered to table in the British parliament if the people of Clacton-on-Sea choose to elect me on 13 August 2026.

Google Artificial Intelligence falsified report about 8GB Swiss Archive

I've never made any public statement about the contents of the 8GB Swiss Archive or how it has been obtained.

Google's AI claims to know what is in the 8GB Swiss Archive, despite the fact Google has no way to know what is inside until after I publish it.

Remember, one of the key developers of Google's artificial intelligence, the University of Oxford's Google Professor of Computer Science, is actually one of my former classmates from the University of Melbourne. Maybe we can ask him why Google AI fabricates answers to questions it doesn't know anything about.

Good cybersecurity requires people to treat each other with mutual respect, even in situations where we may be competitors in politics and in business. By indulging the most vile and immature racist tendencies at a time when I lost two family members, these people who pretend to be professionals in computing and in the legal profession are only shooting themselves in the foot.

While I've said nothing to hint at the origins and content of the 8GB Swiss Archive, it is not hard to see a pattern: each major leak to come out of Switzerland has been more influential than the last. Using jealous lawyers in their silly wigs and silly robes to denounce the families of the foreign professionals employed to work on cybersecurity is sheer stupidity.

People are already wondering if the resignation of the deputy CEO of the Swiss financial regulator was precipitated by my analysis of her incredible incompetence. Whether people vote for me or not on 13 August, who will be next to resign over this scandal?

Nigel Farage crisis: Taylor Swift & Jeffrey Epstein both shunned cryptocurrency bosses

2026-08-10T09:00:00+02:00

Even if Nigel Farage, who resigned on 7 July 2026 did not technically break rules about foreign money in the politics of the UK, there remains a big question about his competence in accepting money from the cryptocurrency industry. Some people feel that Bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency are an elaborate, high-tech ponzi scheme that runs across the global Internet, twenty four hours per day, seven days per week, until it it reaches the point where they run out of new victims. When new victims stop putting money into the system, the people who are already part of it will find they can't get their money back. The whole thing will come crashing down like a house of cards.

The collapse of the Bitcoin could have a knock-on effect on the Reform UK party. The party grew very quickly to become the biggest in the UK. The type of person who joins Reform UK is the type of person who will quit just as quickly if the party leader becomes embroiled in the imminent cryptocurrency industry reckoning.

Remember, pop superstar Taylor Swift was offered $100 million to endorse a cryptocurrency company. She refused to accept the money.

Jeffrey Epstein, who achieved notoriety for the exploitation of women and children, expressed the same concerns as Taylor Swift. He didn't want to be too close to the cryptocurrency industry because it might undermine high-level relationships he cultivated in the Establishment.

Ordinary mums and dads in the UK and other countries have been using cryptocurrency to try and save the deposit for their first home purchase. This is the very type of person Reform UK claims to be trying to help. When the day comes that all these people suddenly lose their money in the blink of an eye, some of them will come knocking on Nigel Farage's front door and asking him for a share of the five million pounds he ferreted out of the pyramid scheme before the upcoming collapse.

Nigel Farage told us he needed the money for security. Remember the former president of France, François Hollande, making secret visits to the home of a popular actress? He disguised himself in a motorcycle helmet and rode around Paris on the back of a scooter undetected for years. Ten years after the scandal, François Hollande auctioned the scooter and raised EUR 25,420, more than the original price.

George Clooney is also known for making incognito sorties in the countryside on a motorbike.

DebConf6 fight denied by Google artificial intelligence

2026-08-09T19:30:00+02:00

Asking Google's artificial intelligence about forbidden topics produces some interesting results.

Here I've taken a screenshot and copy and pasted the results of a search for the notorious DebConf6 fight. Some people simply call it the "DebConf fight".

Google has been a sponsor of DebConf for a number of years. Some of the conference participants are employees of Google. Just as religious orders have habitually covered up cases of institutional abuse by their clerics, we now see artificial intelligence covering up cases of abuse by the men who are part of The Establishment in Silicon Valley.

If you are referring to a physical altercation or "fight" at DebConf 6 (the annual Debian developer conference held in Oaxtepec, Mexico, in 2006), there is no major historical record or notable incident of a real physical fight that took place at the event. DebConf is generally known as a cooperative technical conference for open-source contributors.

However, if you meant a combat sports event, you might be thinking of a "Dirty Boxing 6" or similar fight card, or perhaps confusing the software developer conference name with a different event.

If you meant a specific discussion, debate, or online argument related to DebConf 6 or something else entirely, please share more details so I can find the right information for you.

Clacton by-election bias favoritism for Nigel Farage and Count Binface

2026-08-09T16:30:00+02:00

During my campaign for the Clacton-on-Sea by-election, I've had numerous discussions with local residents and rival candidates concerned about the huge media bias in favor of the incumbent candidate and one of the novelty candidates, Count Binface.

Immediately after the incumbent MP resigned, numerous news reports appeared telling residents to make a tactical vote for the novelty candidate. Local people feel his tactical vote is not their own decision, it feels like other people deciding how Clacton should vote.

People subsequently exposed the fact the novelty candidate has pre-existing links to the BBC. His management agency's web site tells us:

He [Jon Harvey / Binface] has created several popular shows for BBC Radio 4, including panel game The Ultimate Choice, starring Steph McGovern, and political sitcom Lobby Land

In the local newspaper, the Clacton Gazette, the front page is fully dedicated to an advertising feature for the the incumbent candidate.

Looking at the newsletter for the local Catholic church, Our Lady of Light, there is a notice about the euthanasia vote in Westminster. The newsletter suggests the the incumbent candidate is still "our MP" and parishioners are asked to contact him. The email address in the newsletter should have been disabled when he resigned in July. It would only be reactivated if people do not choose one of the other candidates.

The correct thing for the parish to do is to provide a list of every candidate who supports the Catholic teaching on euthanasia and encourage every member of the parish to go out and vote on Thursday, 13 August 2026.

Other candidates can contact Fr Patrick and Fr Peter and ask to have their support for the church's position included in the newsletter, if in fact they have a policy on the issue.

Ironically, the parish had been waiting seven years for missionaries from the Legion of Mary to commence a doorknocking program in the parish. The missionaries arrived in the same week that a record number of 34 would-be-politicians arrived and began their own doorknocking campaigns to try and seize Farage's seat. Therefore, the church itself has also been a victim of this rogue by-election that is being conducted while many people are on holiday.

People who want to volunteer with the group are invited to attend their weekly meeting or contact their parish priest.

Don't forget the distorted search results from Google. They are currently showing people a mixed bag of links to random articles and photos unrelated to the current campaign. When you look at the screenshots from previous elections, you can't help feeling that misfits who work for Google have deliberately tweaked the search results to undermine my campaign and the process of democracy:

From 2024:

Google bias in 2026 when people search "daniel pocock clacton". What are the men at Google trying to suggest by including search results in Arabic and placing it further down the page than other results that have no obvious connection to Clacton-on-Sea whatsoever?

Forty three percent of people did not vote at all in the last election in the district of Clacton-on-Sea. If people do want to change the results and overcome all the bias, it is vital to print copies of my flyers, speak to your friends and neighbours and go down to the polling station together to

Vote POCOCK, Daniel [X] (address in Australia!) on Thursday, 13 August 2026

Clacton mobile phone network dead spots, not-spots and black spots

2026-08-09T15:30:00+02:00

In his resignation speech, the the former MP for Clacton-on-sea boasts about his seven million followers on social control media. I couldn't help wondering how these people are using their mobile phones at all in the parts of Clacton where the network quality is worse than remote parts of the alps.

The incumbent often boasts about preserving the imperial units of measure. In the local pubs, the beers are measured in pints and the mobile network quality is measured in the pre-historic 'E' for EDGE, that is, the technology we used before everybody else got 3G, 4G and 5G.

Hardware and software for communications networks are a fundamental part of my practice as a software engineer. This particular issue is one that I will fully dedicate myself to resolving if the people of Clacton-on-sea support my campaign for election in Clacton-on-sea.

I passed the full theory exam for my amateur radio license when I was fourteen years old. I would be disappointed if I couldn't fix this issue for the voters of Clacton.

Please share my campaign for election in Clacton-on-sea if your phone is working where you are right now.

Clacton-Jaywick tramway revival

2026-08-09T15:00:00+02:00

As part of my campaign for the Clacton-on-Sea by-election, I'm committed to demanding the return of tramways to Clacton-on-Sea.

Historically, there was a miniature railway on the Clacton pier and another miniature railway linking Clacton to Jaywick.

Vote [X] POCOCK, Daniel for a tramway

Earlier this month, the UK Government announced the elimination of red tape for small transport projects up to £500 million in value. This is a perfect opportunity for Clacton to get a tramway again.

In practice, the private sector can be invited to co-fund the project by constructing a multi-storey park-and-ride facility, shopping centers and multi-storey housing at each tram stop / station along the route.

Modern trams have low floors suitable for people who have wheelchairs, walking sticks, shopping carts or babies in prams. The tram stops are built so that people can enter and exit the tram without any step.

Tramways make a significant contribution to the prestige of the districts where they are built.

A similar service is incredibly popular in Melbourne, Australia. Tram route 96 takes people to the famous St Kilda Beach and the Luna Park theme park.

The full network would begin at the Walton-on-the-Naze railway station, continue to the Clacton railway station, pass through the Clacton town square and then continue to Jaywick.

I asked artificial intelligence to suggest a route for the tramway:

Draw the route for a tramway from Walton-on-the-Naze railway station to the former Jaywick Sands railway station passing key landmarks including the Clacton-on-Sea railway station and the Clacton town square.

Here is the response:

To connect these points along the Essex coastline, a scenic and practical tramway route runs south-west from Walton-on-the-Naze, travels through the heart of Clacton-on-Sea, and terminates at the historic site of the Jaywick Sands railway station.

Proposed Tramway Route Alignment

Walton-on-the-Naze Station to Frinton-on-Sea: Starting at the Walton-on-the-Naze railway station terminal, the tracks follow the B1032 (Walton Road/Frinton Road) heading southwest into neighboring Frinton-on-Sea.

Coastal Highway to Holland-on-Sea: The tramway transitions onto the scenic B1032 coastal corridor (Main Road and Frinton Road), passing through Great Holland and entering Holland-on-Sea via Kings Avenue and Ipswich Road.

Clacton-on-Sea Town Center Core: The line heads directly down Marine Parade East to interface with the seafront. It then cuts inland up Pier Avenue to stop directly at Clacton town square, providing central retail access.

Clacton-on-Sea Railway Station Link: From the town square, the route proceeds a short distance north along Pier Avenue and Station Road to create a major multi-modal transit interchange directly outside the Clacton-on-Sea railway station.

Westward to Jaywick Sands: Leaving Clacton station, the tramway heads west along Cleanway Close and out via the B1027 (St. John's Road) or West Road. It turns south down Jaywick Lane, moving past the Golf Green area to reach the coast.

Jaywick Sands Terminus: The final stretch tracks down Crossways and onto the historic sea-wall alignment along Meadow Way, terminating exactly at the beachside site of the former 1930s Jaywick Sands miniature railway terminus.

Steve Panozzo, Pothole Whisperer from Australia invited to Clacton

2026-08-09T13:30:00+02:00

Steve Panozzo has gained fame in Australia for his voluntary services as a Pothole Whisperer. Armed with tubes of paint and a lot of guts, he has regularly been spotted risking his life to warn other motorists about super-size potholes. A recent report on ABC news suggested there are over 250,000 potholes in the State of Victoria.

Road safety in regional areas of the UK has become a hot issue for the public. As part of my campaign for the Clacton by-election, I'm inviting the Pothole Whisperer to compare roads in Essex and the east of England to the roads in rural Victoria.

The former member for Clacton admits using his position to recruit over seven million followers on social control media while people complain he does nothing for basic services like roads.

I've made a donation of $250 to Steve Panozzo's crowdfunding campaign. GoFundMe told me the donation helped him achieve his goal of $3,500 and then a few minutes later GoFundMe changed the goal to $4,000. Are the perils of crowdfunding web sites on par with potholes?

The sum of $3,500 raised by Steve Panozzo is trivial compared to the donation of £5 million that a foreign cryptocurrency billionaire made to the former MP for Clacton-on-Sea.
