Following Paul Stainsby’s court appearance victims of historic sexual abuse at Warwick School are now stepping forward in numbers. Today I have heard from a man who is the sixth victim, of whom I am aware, of music teacher Charles Watmough. And I have also been contacted by a chap in Scarborough where Charlie retired to after Warwick to give private piano lessons to little boys.
Five OWs have now come forward to allege sexual abuse against former Warwick School music teacher Charles Watmough. He was interviewed under caution by the Police but for reasons I cannot explain they decided not to prosecute. I tracked him down to Scarborough where he now lives, a couple of years ago, and attempted to doorstep him but he refused to answer the door. Over the weekend another OW has been in touch.
The 14 year campaign I have waged to get Warwick School to address historic sexual and physical abuse all started with an encounter with Geoffrey Eve, the man who twice threw my head against a wall, at the one and only OW reunion I have ever attended. As Warwick finally, partially ‘fesses up, numerous OW’s have today been in touch regarding both sexual and physical abuse. Here is one chap talking about Eve.
Friday 23rd of January was a day of drama in the Warwick School historic abuse saga and Paul Stainsby’s Court appearance prompted the school to send out an offensively misleading letter to alumni and parents. Since then, thanks to the power of Google, I have been swamped with emails from boys recounting horrors past, chatted to some and can reveal that another teacher from my era is now under Police investigation.
I am advised that I should not be allowed to attend the first hearing, tomorrow, in the case against ex Warwick School teacher Paul Stainsby tomorrow as he stands accused of 12 accusations of sexual abuse against boys. Apparently I might learn something I did not know that might contaminate my evidence lest Stainsby pleads not guilty and it goes to a full trial. But my coverage of the case and my 14 year campaign to get Warwick to accept what happened on its watch has seen more OW’s contact me. It seems old memories, buried for years, are being triggered in men now in their 40s, 50s or even older.
It was on January 27 1945 that the Russian army liberated a camp in Poland, a place whose name will go down in infamy, Auschwitz. More than 1.1 million folks were murdered there during the war, almost all of them Jews. So just over one sixth of the victims of the holocaust perished in that spot. Each year on January 27 we celebrate Holocaust Memorial Day and say Never Again. Or we should. For this family of non Jews there are very personal links to Auschwitz.
That is not the Jonathan, my friend the Euroloon who is with us this year. Poor fellow, he suffers from severe #TrumpDerangementSyndrome and even more severe #BrexitDerangementSyndrome as well as being, like me, a lifelong West Ham United supporter so he has enough to drive him mad anyway. I refer to another Jonathan who came a couple of years ago and insisted that only he could get the complicated heating system working at the Greek Hovel or light an end of harvest fire.
This is the view if you look down the track up to the Greek Hovel. It is of the snow capped higher taygetos mountains. The global warming has been falling heavily this year.
These global warming nutters don’t like it up ‘em,, do they. Facts! They can be an inconvenient truth. All over Europe snow has fallen as the “experts” told us it would not. We may start our tour in France where less than two weeks ago the ghastly Daily Mail trotted out the annual Deadwood Press Media GroupThink warning of how lack of snow was killing skiing. As I exposed here that was fake news. As of now average snowfalls in France are 151% of long term norms and avalanches are killing those brave enough to ski. What of the UK?
I pick on the Mail as it is a loathsome rag and always falls for this fake news but all the MSM are equally bad. Back in 2023 I exposed the BBC for pushing almost identical fake news HERE. This is almost an annual ritual. On December 31 2025, as you can see below, the Mail ran images of snow free ski lifts at Chamonix and warned that snow levels were disastrous and would shut ski centres across the country because of global warming. Well guess what?
Climate change grifter Dave Vince is a multi millionaire thanks to Government subsidies and grants which between 2002 and 2023 totalled £114 million. The number goes up every day and you the taxpayer are paying to make the loathsome Vince ever richer. It is all justified because of the need to fight global warming. Hence the tweet below from December 23 2025 from the utterly repellent Vince.
When I arrived at Athens airport last week the EU and non EU lines were of almost equal length and took almost equal time to clear. So much for Brexit induced travel chaos. But predictably, my pal J, known as the Euroloon, and his fragrant Mrs. who are joining me for this year’s olive harvest, got stuck in a long line yesterday and angry texts about Brexit soon ensued. So they were snagged at Athens airport for an hour and happily blamed me and Nigel Farage personally.
There are some good trees on the third terrace down on the mountain side of the Greek Hovel. It is just getting to them that was problematical. As a younger man I might have skipped down the very crude steps made of rocks. As older men, harvester Tim and I approached them gingerly with some discussions about waiting for our pal the Euroloon and his Mrs to arrive and sending them into battle.
After two full days we have harvested enough olives to make this not the worst harvest ever. An Albanian would get 50kg into a sack. An Englishman’s sack is much smaller. Fear not, the charming wife of the Euroloon will be resifting what we have produced to remove more leaves and we will combine half sacks to make near Albanians.
It will be a bad harvest. Not the worst ever but bad. We start with just myself and heroic veteran Tim. But later on we will be joined by my pal the Euroloon Jonathan and his charming wife but will there be any olives left for them to pick?
