Suspended By Big Issue's Peter Bird

Who The Hell Is He?

Peter Bird was all aflutter with his slippery spasm

of words after his arbitrary and capricious decision to

suspend me as a five-year badged Big Issue vendor

because of my blog comments and opinions that

he and his brother John Bird don't like!!

^^^

Less then 12 hours after returning from Russia,

I sat with incredulity at London's Big Issue HQ to

hear the utterly asinine decision of little Peter

Bird, who was full of himself and fully-bloated as

he declared my megablog "was homophobic, racist,

and never with a good word about The Big Issue."

^^^

My "blog crimes," therefore, were tantamount to

bringing "disrepute on The Big Issue," repeated

the brother of John Bird, The Big Issue co-founder

and editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine that

is sold by the homeless in the UK. And for my

"crimes," I was in violation of The Big Issue Code

of Conduct that all vendors sign, so pontificated

silly Peter Bird with his sidekick Martin there to

witness my punishment for writing what I

believe and not what I am told to believe. I

told 58 year-old Peter Bird (PB) that I would

not change my opinions for him or for his

brother or for anybody. What, in fact, PB has

done to me is to slam the Big Issue door in

my face for expressing my rights of free

speech on the internet and elsewhere

around the world.

^^^

I also told PB there was no legal basis for his

insane decision and that whatever he insist-

ed I had done wrong, he needed to put it

in writing to me. Asked if he'd consulted

Big Issue legal counsel about his unlawful

actions against me, cocky Peter Bird

shot back by saying "why should I?"

Asked if his brother John Bird had made

the decision against me, PB neither

answered yes nor no, but simply stated

he was the one who had made the decision

while I was away at the 65th Anniversary

of the Victory Day Parade at Red Square.

In others words, his decision was made behind

my back while I was out of the country. As he

talked non-stop with more torrents at me -

and not to me - I realised what an utter

buffoon Peter Bird really appeared to be.

^^^

Then he wanted me to hand my Big Issue

Badge No. 115 to him, but I refused. So what

did PB do? He walked out of the room and

and grabbed a vendor's badge and read the

small print to me that stated the badge was

"the property of The Big Issue." What a big

deal for such a petty-minded bloke like

Peter Bird!! He wanted to go on and on

talking at me, but I won't suffer fools no

matter what. I simply told him I'd heard

enough! I didn't need a lesson on such

stupidity coming out of PB's

contemptuous Big Issue mouth ...

^^^

As I left The Big Issue H.Q., PB blurred

out again that I was now suspended and

"after an investigation" a final decision

would be made regarding me and The

Big Issue. Wooooooooow!! As if I care

whatever the final decision is ... My

pitch needs to be available to me

without any further ado. Do you hear

me, Peter Bird or not?

^^^

I demand to be re-instated promptly and

to receive a formal apology from Peter

Bird and/or John Bird of The Big Issue.

Failing that, my legal options are wide

open and I will take whatever steps

are available to overturn Peter Bird's

biassed and irrational decision that

openly violates my human rights and

my demand for due process under

the law.

^^^

The big ball, as the Americans say, is now

in The Bird Court from here on out. I will

give 5 (five) days for Peter Bird to rescind

the so-called "suspension" of me or face the

next step that I shall be compelled to

take legally against him and any claim

I may seek for personal monetary

damages from The Big Issue.

^^^

For the time being, I herein partially list

below some of my wonderful friends, Big

Issue customers, and ex-customers that

I have come to know at my permanent

Long Acre pitch during the past

five years ...

One final comment for now. What I do and say in

my private life is no business of The Bird Brothers

of The Big Issue. I am NOT employed by them. They

pay me no salary. I have committed no criminal

offense at my pitch and the Code of Conduct - which

is very shaky, legally - does not mean I cannot

express what I believe politically, socially,

religiously, morally, emotionally, literately,

educationally, and ethically. If what I write

and say offends, then tough luck! My right to

offend The Big Issue and/or The Bird Brothers

is my paramount right of free speech. Like it

or lump it - it doesn't matter a breeze to me.

So hang in there boyz and girlz for more fun ...

^^^

Truly, Uncle Monty.

My Moscow and St. Petersburg stories

will be online shortly. Then comes Graham

Walker's story about John Bird himself

called "Dead Bird Walking." And to which,

I have edited for thebiggerissue.org

Such will go ahead no matter what Peter

and/or John Bird say or do - period!!!
