Medawar would like his readers to see the sort of work that " Gangstalking -Australia" is being stopped from producing anymore, by stalkers. Their reasons are unknown and quite possibly incomprehensible anyway. What matters is that all stalker inflict similar destruction: the victim is very often someone of an artistic temperament , but it can be a journalist, community leader or an engineer, too. And in every case, the stalking is notable for two things: the human misery that it inflicts, and the work that it prevents from being done. Stalking is never, ever , noted for the good that it does. Stalkers have no virtue to their name, they are marked only by the voids they create in human culture, achievement and aspiration. They deserve only eternal oblivion.

Very nicely restored railway signal box, a little way inland from Felixstowe.

The assassinations of Jill Dando (BBC TV Presenter) and Yitzhak Rabin (Israeli Prime Minister) actually have one, strikingly anomalous, thing in common: A .380" ACP calibre pistol that didn't make anything like enough noise. When Mr Rabin was shot, in the middle of a large crowd, there was confusion, even amongst security personnel, because the shots didn't sound loud enough to be real. (And the Israeli public fires probably handguns more often than any other population, except, possibly that of Finland.) When Jill Dando was shot, a man, working (at a drawing board?) at the front upstairs window of the house opposite, didn't hear a thing, even though he glanced out just before, and just after, the shooting. Gowan Avenue may be fairly "upmarket" by London standards, but it is not a wide boulevard with mansions either side with sweeping drives and acres of front lawn. The houses are Victorian Terraces, albeit fairly large, the front gardens are just a couple of...

Many of Medawar's fellow bloggers are calling for laws in the USA, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom against " gangstalking " and "proxy stalking" which could both collectively be called organized stalking. And certainly in Canada and Australia, some legislative action is imperative. But it's long been Medawar's view that in the United Kingdom (both England and Scotland; unlike the Berlin Wall, Hadrian's Wall has never fallen in the legal sense) all forms of organized stalking were breaking several laws already and the problem was recognition of that fact by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Crown Prosecution Service and action by the police. In the USA, there already is a highly specific law , under which it is pretty well impossible for any two or more persons to carry out a stalking campaign against a citizen, without conspiring to deny that citizen their legal and constitutional rights. Under USC 18 section 241, this is an o...
