REBUTTAL FOR THE ACCUSED
This document for the defence is produced to rebut the Crown witness Darren Steadwood, showing the unreliability of his witness statement to the police.
Unreliable Crown Witness - Darren Steadwood
SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT
The Scottish Parliament is an enhancement to the democracy of Scotland not a “replacement” for the democracy of Scots which we realise daily by exercising cherished democratic rights to freedom of expression, to speak, to publish, to organise, to hold to account the Members of the Scottish Parliament and Ministers of the Scottish Government and to criticise their policies and fitness, or otherwise, for high office.
SECURITY REVIEW
Following the murder of Sir David Amess MP in 2021 -
Sir David Amess MP (left) and his killer, Ali Harbi Ali, Islamic terrorist (right)
- when Sir David was stabbed to death at a constituency surgery by an Islamic terrorist - the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body (SPCB) undertook a review of the personal security provision for MSPs and staff.
One might expect that the review should have recommended beefed-up security arrangements at constituency surgeries, including security staff searching those meeting MSPs to ensure they are not carrying knives or other concealed weapons.One would not expect that a review would initiate a wholly inappropriate project to undermine the democratic freedoms of Scots - but sadly, a pilot to crack down on online freedom of expression was launched by the SPCB.
CLAIRE BAKER MSP
The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) since 2021 has been convened by the Presiding Officer (Alison Johnstone MSP) and just 4 other elected MSPs - Jackson Carlaw MSP, Maggie Chapman MSP, Claire Baker MSP & Christine Grahame MSP.
Claire Baker MSP takes a lead interest in the SPBC portfolio of “Digital services, resilience and sustainability”, including presumably security.
Claire Baker MSP
Baker is an English Language and Literature graduate who worked as a researcher for the Scottish Parliament Labour Group, the trade union Amicus and the Royal College of Nursing and as the policy manager for the Scottish Council of Voluntary Organisations.
So Baker does not seem to be at all qualified nor sufficiently experienced to serve as Scottish Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Justice (2016-2017) nor to be responsible now for the security of the Scottish Parliament, its MSPs and its staff.
Which rather begs the question of who would dare to trust the unqualified and clueless Claire Baker with such an important role? The answer is revealed when we note that Claire Baker is a Scottish Labour politician who nominated Anas Sarwar MSP for election as leader of Scottish Labour, who presumably returned the favour by supporting Baker for membership of the SPBC.ANAS SARWAR MSP
Anas Sarwar MSP was born in Glasgow to Pakistani Muslim parents and at a meeting of Scottish Pakistanis, Sawar pledged to get real power for Pakistanis in Scotland inevitably by disempowering non-Pakistani Scots.
Anas Sarwar photographed with the then Pakistani consul at the Consulate for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in Glasgow.
So when officials of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan suggest that Scottish Pakistani politicians should crack down on the democratic freedom of expression of Scots to criticise Pakistanis then Anas Sarwar, now as Scottish Labour leader, can tell his loyal supporter Claire Baker, a very useful idiot for Pakistanis on the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body, to mislead the SPCB to set up a project to do just that, disregarding the real security needs of MSPs and staff.
As plain as day, the arrest and prosecution of the Accused is a politically-motivated act - a witchhunt - orchestrated by Pakistani politicians like Humza Yousaf, Kaukab Stewart and Anas Sarwar.It does not matter to Pakistan whether Scottish-Pakistanis are members of Scottish Labour or the SNP, so long as they serve the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, by opposing criticisms of Pakistan, Pakistanis and Muslims.
Anas Sarwar of Paki-Labour (left) shakes hands with Humza Yousaf of Paki-SNP (right).
LYNSEY HAMILL
Lynsey Hamill, is employed by the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body as Director of Operations and Digital, now, while previously her job there was Head of Sustainability and Resilience. Presumably then Hamill takes her policy lead from Claire Baker as SPCB lead for Digital services, resilience and sustainability.
So when Baker, seeking to please Sarwar, tells Hamill, in effect, to target social media critics of Pakistanis taking power in Scotland and in their wake Pakistani grooming gangs, Pakistani-organised crime and Pakistani-organised Muslim terrorism, by setting up a social media monitoring scheme to report such critics to the police then targeting such a critic as the accused, Alastair Peter Dow, is, in effect, the sort of operation that Hamill has been tasked to do, by Claire Baker MSP and the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body, of course, but behind Baker is the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar MSP, behind him is the Pakistani diaspora and behind them all ultimately is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
“Given the scale of potentially criminal content identified online, it’s reasonable to assume more court cases will follow in the weeks and months ahead.” - Lynsey Hamill
GESTAPO OPERATIONS
“You tweet, the police will smash your door in and take you political prisoner”
The SPCB social media monitoring scheme is a fledgling Scottish Parliament secret police tasked to trawl social media sites to hunt down any Scot who dares to tweet an adverse comment about our “perfect” (sarcasm) MSPs.
This is the beginning of a Scottish Parliament Gestapo. It is an extremely dangerous development towards fascism, which is like a knife being held by politically-motivated secret police to the throats of Scottish democrats.
Now that this scheme for social media monitoring and reporting of fake, politically-motivated complaints to the police has been established at the Scottish Parliament, -
"An initiative by the Scottish Parliament has employed two members of staff – one a former police inspector – to trawl the social media accounts of 69 MSPs who signed up to the review.
The pair found 23,507 posts considered abusive in 2024-25, but which did not reach the required level to be considered criminal.
In the most recent year, 257 posts were referred to Police Scotland – down from 461 the previous year – with one case proceeding to court.
The Scottish Parliament’s monitoring software searches social media for threatening and abusive language and can refer the posts to police if required.
A briefing sent to MSPs by Holyrood’s director of operations and digital, Lynsey Hamill, said: “Whilst it is too early to draw any firm conclusions on trends and success of the scheme when comparing data from the pilot year and year one, we can see the scale of online abuse of MSPs is now readily apparent and growing." - The National
- what is to stop foolish MSPs from wasting still more police & courts time and resources by growing a fully-fledged Scottish Parliament Gestapo so that, not just 1 or 2 cases per year proceed to court, but so that eventually 20,000 or more Scots are arrested and imprisoned for doing our political duty to post on social media as per our conscience requires us to do as patriotic Scots, even if some easily-offended individuals assume our posts to be “abusive”?
Hitler believed that all his German critics were “offensive and abusive” and deserving of being taken as political prisoners but that didn’t justify what the Nazi Gestapo did to destroy German democracy.
But this is not German influence which is trying to set up a Scottish Parliament Gestapo - this is Pakistani influence. Scots must not allow the Pakistanis and their useful idiots at the Scottish Parliament to go any further down the road towards a Scottish Parliament Gestapo.
The Scottish Parliament Gestapo is intended by the Pakistani diaspora to act in the interest of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which already has its own version of the Nazis' Gestapo and the SS - the Pakistani military’s Inter Services Intelligence - the ISI - responsible for co-ordinating Islamic terrorist organisations like the Taliban and Al Qaeda and sponsoring terrorist and political takeover operations world-wide.
- Inter-Services Intelligence Activities in the United Kingdom.
DARREN STEADWOOD
Darren Steadwood is one of the two members of staff employed by SPCB to trawl social media accounts under the misdirection of Lynsey Hamill and under the political control of Claire Baker controlled by Anas Sarwar on behalf of the Pakistani diaspora and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, maliciously to misinform the police thereby to undermine the security of Scotland’s democracy.
The defence can now proceed to quote and then to rebut the statement to the police by this most unreliable Crown witness - a Misinformation and Insecurity Officer for the Scottish Parliament Gestapo.
Witness 1 - Darren Steadwood. STATEMENT
"My name is Darren Steadwood and I am employed at the Scottish Parliament as an Information Security Analyst. I have worked in the role since June 2024. My duties include monitoring the social media accounts of Members of the Scottish Parliament for posts and messages which are offensive, threatening or motivated by hate. In order to carry out this role, I use a software tool called COSAIN, which proactively searches social media platforms for key words or phrases within posts, based on parameters set by me. I then read the posts, make my own assessment and if I deem it to be necessary, report the post to the police.
Between the hours of 09.00 and 17.06 hours on Tuesday 3rd December 2024, whilst reviewing the posts highlighted by the COSAIN software tool, I observed a post by @_Peter_Dow, which had been pla… on the Scottish government X account “@ScotGov”. I perceived this post to be directed towards Kaukab Stewart who I am aware is the Minister for Equalities of Scotland, and is of Pakistani descent, as the post was in reply to a picture of Kaukab Stewart that was posted on the Scottish government X account. I found the post to be offensive and racist in nature as it states -
‘Close the Pakistani consulate in Glasgow, deport the diplomat.’
‘Close the mosques, deport the imams,’
‘Tackle Islam’s violence against women and girls.’
‘The Paki SNP are the Taliban’s useful idiots in Scotland.’
I find the term ‘PAKI’ a particularly derogatory and racially offensive term and find the tweet to be disrespectful towards Pakistani people.
I have provided Police with a screenshot of this post and completed the relevant certification and identification documents in respect to this. I understand it will be referred to as LABEL NO SCREENSHOTS - @_PETER_DOW - 03/12/2024.
I cannot identify the accused.
I can confirm that this statement is a true and accurate record.
Signed Darren Steadwood
UNRELIABLE WITNESS
What a snowflake this Darren Steadwood has shown himself to be, assuming as a reader that he is entitled to misconstrue and to misrepresent what the Accused means when typing the word “Paki”.Meaning is imparted by the writer and whilst any reader may attempt to comprehend what a writer’s words mean, a reader should not presume to attribute “racism” and start barking up the wrong tree on the basis of one misunderstood tweet.
Close the Pakistani consulate in Glasgow, deport the diplomat.
Close the mosques, deport the imams.
Tackle Islam's violence against women and girls.
The Paki SNP are the Taliban's useful idiots in Scotland.

#16DaysOfActivism #16Days
“Paki” is etymologically a shortened form of the word “Paki-stani” and that’s all the Accused means by the term “Paki” - “Pakistani”.
There is no “racist slur” intended by the Accused’s use of the term “Paki” here, nor elsewhere, as is explained at length in the “MEANINGS” section of the “Minute for the Accused”.
“Fact. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a country, not a "race". Pakistani is a nationality / national identity, not a "race". Islam is a religion, not a "race".
The accused's criticisms of Pakistan, Pakistanis, the Pakistani diaspora, Islam or Muslims do not feature unscientific notions of "race" in any shape or form.”
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Pakistanis are secretly supporting the Taliban and other Muslim terrorists worldwide, disrespecting and killing non-Pakistanis and non-Muslims. See - the sections “TERROR TARGETS” and “SECRET PAKISTAN” in the “Minute for the Accused”.
RESPECT IS EARNED
Respect is earned, as it was when a schoolgirl named Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban who shot her in the head for her courage.
RESPECT IS EARNED - MALALA YOUSAFZAI
Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban (Video - 2012)
Just as respect was earned when the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto defied the Islamic militants and was then assassinated for her courageous patriotism.
Benazir Bhutto (21 June 1953 – 27 December 2007) was a Pakistani politician and stateswoman who served as the 11th prime minister of Pakistan from 1988 to 1990, and again from 1993 to 1996. She was the first woman elected to head a democratic government in a Muslim-majority country. Ideologically a liberal and a secularist, she chaired or co-chaired the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) from the early 1980s until her assassination in 2007.
KAUKAB STEWART
“I perceived this post to be directed towards Kaukab Stewart who I am aware is the Minister for Equalities of Scotland, and is of Pakistani descent” - Darren Steadwood
Not only is Kaukab Stewart of Pakistani descent but she is an agent for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan who deliberately misleads the Scottish Parliament with Pakistani propaganda and Pakistani lies, hiding the terrible truth about the Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s support for Islamic terrorism world-wide and about Pakistan’s dependency on foreign aid while Kaukab Stewart supports the setting up of a new Scottish Parliament Gestapo to direct a crackdown on democratic freedoms of Scots to hold Pakistanis and Pakistan’s useful idiots to account.
VEXATIOUS COMPLAINER
Darren Steadwood's statement is not reliable evidence of racism nor of any criminality on the part of the Accused.
Steadwood is shown in this document to be an unreliable witness whose statement does not constitute prima facie evidence for reasonable suspicion of any criminal offence.
Steadwood’s statement is not proof of anything beyond that he is the sort of snowflake and vexatious complainer to the police which Anas Sarwar, Claire Baker and the Pakistani diaspora wanted the SPCB to hire because, as such, Steadwood could be relied upon to make false complaints for politically-motivated and malicious reasons.
Steadwood should either be dismissed from the employment of the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body altogether or perhaps redeployed to a non-Gestapo role and actually perform a useful security role such as searching visitors to the Scottish Parliament for concealed weapons - perhaps to reveal timely information that is actually competent and relevant to the personal security of MSPs and staff.
This concludes the defence’s thorough rebuttal of Darren Steadwood’s unreliable witness statement.
