Legal counsel suggests that perhaps the only way

to get the attention of Peter and John Bird of UK’s

homeless street paper called The Big Issue, is to

seek from the courts a legal injunction against their

business and charity. And, then for us to litigate from

there to legally resolve the illegally suspension of me

by The Big Issue because of my blog content that

they politically and socialistically detest. They want
to curtail my freedom of speech against them by

inflicting their arbitrary and capricious suspension

of me from my five year Big Issue pitch at

London's Long Acre outside Cafe Nero.

During my Day 2 of 8 hours of protesting - from

6:00am to 2:00pm, yesterday at the Big Issue

H.Q. - I saw a whole range of people who were

broken-winged from the drunk, to the discarded

to the disabled and to the depressed. They reflect

not only the social decay and decline of modern

British society, but also the ready exploitation of them

to sell The Big Issue by the avaricious and arrogant ilk

of The Bird Brothers. Indeed, such sharks like Peter

and John Bird thrive and profit off the broken-winged

that are often found among those suffering from

homelessness and marginalization. Without the

homeless, of course, the heartless and condescend-

ing Bird Brothers wouldn’t exist and their present

fat bank accounts would be pretty much thin like

the rest of us, I suspect. Of the 3,000+ vendors

who are badged by The Big Issue outfit, none can

come close to the enormous pay of Peter and John

Bird and some of their minion employees. Volunteer-

ing people also only make The Birds richer and the

more vendors they can recruit the richer they become

at the expense of the street vendors like me. So, The

Big Issue street vendor is, day by day, financially

and economically exploited and screwed by them.

@@@
The trouble with The Bird Brothers is they don’t like
those who aren’t broken-winged, like me, because

they cannot easily silence them like they so often do

with the broken-winged. That's why they finall
suspended me under their catch-all guise of "bring-

ing The Big Issue into disrepute." So much then for

freedom of speech, which The Big Issue publicly

espouses while it won't allow for their vendors like

me to shine a bright and disturbing light on them.

Little honcho Peter Bird finally showed his Big Issue

face at around mid-day, but he deliberately ignored me

as he walked on by just within a couple of feet from me

all dressed in his patterned-blue, open-neck, dress shirt

and his causal fitted blue jeans. He headed straight to

Starbucks that is next door to The Big Issue head-

quarters, but I never saw him leave after that. No

wonder they also call him “slick and slimey.”

@@@
What I saw of him yesterday showed me that his body

language and physical posture was clearly anti-Uncle

Monty. But who cares? Not me! I think after what I

saw of Peter Bird perhaps indicates we’re now in for

a long haul and a protracted public fight that is just

fine with me. I am a patient man who always bids his

time against those who seek to do me down like The

Bird Brothers. Earlier, I also saw one of their angry-

faced sidekicks Martin, who has been a four-year Big

Issue employee that is shorter than the time I have

been a Big Issue vendor at London's Covent Garden.

The dickhead now heads the so-called vendor services
in place of Paul Joseph who has quit The Big Issue to

attend university. I saw yesterday around 30 other

employees and volunteers arrive at the headquarters

by mostly 10:00am or earlier. I also couldn't help mis-

take Big Issue’s ever morose Steve Farrell Wood and

standoffish Linda Driver. While one of my most favourite

humanbeings is Oli Brown, who was seen in all his usual

warm and friendly glory. Bravo! Sanjev was engaging in

his own way, but the majority of Big Issue staffers just

ignored me and my peaceful public protest. There has

been a concerted conspiracy by the rabid Bird Brothers

to give me the "silent treatment" by ordering staff not

to speak to me. They have also smeared me behind

my back and have accused me of some awful things!
They forget that the "silent treatment" of me is mean-

ingless against the power of the written word. So

powerful is such, that The Bird Brothers only help

themselves to become even more publicly deminish-

ed and disrespected as they most certainly should

be. They give no mercy, so they get no mercy.

@@@
My finest weapon, therefore, is my every written

word I write against them. Sure, I am a low-level

writer although I wish I was gifted to be one of the

world’s greatest writers. But alas, such is not to be -

pity for me. After all, I only taught myself to write

in my older age when I got my first ‘puter some 18

years ago in America. At that time, I didn’t know the

difference between a keyborad and a motherboard.

That’s why the kids at church then called me a

“dumb ass.” They were right! Now years

later, it's all Hi Fives ...

Surreal-Like Graphic of Uncle Monty

Protesting at The Big Issue H.Q.

@@@
What pleased me the most yesterday was the number

of vendors who voluntarily signed my petition without

me even asking them to do so. Of the 15 or so vendors I

saw, almost 11 did sign when they stopped to chat with

me. One vendor who had signed, however, came back

after he’d been to buy his Big Issue magazines or “books”

claiming that I’d "tricked" him into signing! I immediately

removed his name from my petition drive. I don’t need to

trick anybody into signing and least of all my fellow vendors.

@@@
Another friendly vendor said he’d been told that I had

threatened to “kill John Bird.” I’m not the killing-type nor

do I support the street killings and violent acts of war that

I see all around me thesedays. It seems Graham Walker’s

upcoming story “Dead Bird Walking” has triggered the

false story of “killing John Bird.” Anybody with the

least amount of gumption would know the use of such a

phrase like “Dead Bird Walking” is a figurative or literary

one. Another evil smear that is emanating from The Big

Issue is that I support child pornography! I MOST CER-

TAINLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY DO NOT! I personally

detest all forms of pornography and anybody who says

otherwise of me is a pathological liar and a smear artist.

@@@

Such then is the out and out dirty campaign by The Big

Issue against me to try to justify their illegal suspension

of me by Peter and John Bird. I was also told yesterday

that John Bird was sick and dying. At age 65, many

folks are at his age. But I have no reason to think or

believe the Big Issue honcho himself - A. John Bird,

M.B.E - is in any way near to dying or being sick.

I'm older than him and feel better now than when

I was 20 years younger despite the fact that I'm

on daily heart medication. I love life, but have

absolutely no fear of dying as an avid and

affirming English Anglican that gives me deep

strength every day of my life no matter what

Peter and John Bird do to try to destroy me

personally. As an old-age pensioner, I shouldn't

even have to be out there protesting against

them. But as a proud Protestant by rearing I

was born to protest, I guess. And that I will

continue to do, until The Bird Brothers come to

their senses and do justice for me or have a change

of heart. It also looks like the peace proposal by my

old friend of 40 years - W. J. Curtis of New Zealand -

has been rejected and made dead on arrival by

Peter & John Bird ... They have so little wisdom or

foresight from what I've seen and heard of them

lately. But what else should we expect?

Issue H.Q. Protest. It Was The First I'd Seen of Them.

@@@
What was so tragic about my protest yesterday was

that The Big Issue could have resolved our differences

immediately by simply undoing my open-ended

suspension and inviting me into their headquarters

to buy my usual stock of magazines and then letting

us all get on with our usual daily business. They have,

has I've just stated before, so little wisdom or open

foresight it seems. Instead, they've dug themselves

in deeper and given me the "silent treatment" and

now refuse to budge. So lookout for Day 3 of my

continuing protest that will begin after America’s

Memorial Day weekend that coincides with our UK

Bank Holiday weekend that starts here tomorrow.

The power of protest is to be there ...

@@@

Among my other planned venues of protest include

the Royal Courts of Justice, The Metro/Daily Mail

news complex, Sky TV, and other ideal locations like

The House of Commons, to draw public and media

attention to the vile issue at hand between me and

The Bird Brothers of The Big Issue. The key to

success is always to make things happen and not

to just stand there helplessly or to curl up in a cor-

ner like a defenseless little boy. But above all, fight

with all your might against those who dare to

trample on you in broad daylight or dismiss you

in the darkness of the night. And, always pray!!

“Tony Blair ... I wouldn’t use him as a doormat
downstairs,” says ex-Harrod’s owner Mohamed

Fayed. Well said, my dear sir! Blair is just a big

greedy socialist skunk. He is a War Criminal, too.

At the British Inquest of the People's Princess, Mr.

Fayed and I were seated almost together has we

attended the inquest on the same day that it was

held under the presiding royal coroner Lord Justice

Scott Baker. Mr. Fayed has a platoon of 50, yes

50, grim bodyguards at where ever he goes ...
