"There's been rather a lot going on recently in the batshit bonkers world of dangerously deranged disgraced ex-policeman Lynsay Watson. Here's your update. You're going to need a cup of tea and several biscuits."

"After many years of vindictively, vexatiously and maliciously plaguing innocent people, it seemed in February this year that disgraced and deranged former policeman Lynsay Watson‘s campaign of terror might be finally beginning to draw to a close.

Attending the Civic Justice Centre in Manchester as part of an ongoing attempt to persecute the feminist journalist and author Helen Joyce, Watson was intercepted by Greater Manchester Police and arrested in connection with allegations of harassment of several people, one of whom was myself.

Watson had been evading justice for a long time. He provides false addresses to the police and courts (which is a crime in itself), and despite numerous criminal complaints against him he manages to dodge arrest because police forces endlessly ping-pong the complaints between each other (“He lives in YOUR area!” “No, yours!”) and allow him to repeatedly arrange voluntary interviews which he never turns up to, stalling and hiding until the six-month limit on harassment cases times out.

And guess what, readers?

We have no more answers to all the obvious questions arising from that email than you do. (Not least why police still insist on taking the side of transwomen in terms of pronouns, even when talking to the victims of their crimes. That’s not a neutral stance, that’s gaslighting – even while investigating your complaint of harassment from a massive and aggressive bloke, they’re telling you he’s a lady.)

When I made my complaint last year I briefed GMP in detail from the outset about his evasion tactics and suggested several powers they could exercise to locate him, yet none were deployed and he was allowed to get away with it again, dodging several voluntary interviews for several months until I finally told them he’d be at the CJC on the morning of 12 February and they managed to get a couple of officers down there.

Despite time being a critical issue by then, they failed to use their discretionary powers to ask the Crown Prosecution Service to expedite their report (called an “emergency charging decision”) after interviewing him.

(We should note at this point that the email only refers to my own complaint. He was questioned and bailed on at least one more on the same day, and we don’t know whether that one remains live.)

Much of what you’re about to read below is taken verbatim from my detailed and exhaustive initial complaint to the police last year. They cannot credibly claim not to have known what sort of person they were dealing with. Whether their failure to act effectively is down to incompetence, overwork or sympathy with a former officer is a matter for speculation.

Watson is a male who identifies as a female, and has done so for approximately 25 years. His campaign of harassment against me began in February 2023, when he reported me to GMP over some pretty innocuous social media comments about the tragically-murdered teenager Brianna Ghey.

By this time three years had passed since the judgment in Harry Miller vs College Of Policing had been handed down (and over a year since the unsuccessful appeal against it), confirming the rights of “gender-critical” people – those such as myself who observe and acknowledge the reality of biological sex – to express their views freely on transgender issues, even if that caused offence to others.

Watson was sacked from Leicestershire Police in 2023 for gross misconduct after conducting a long campaign of harassment against Mr Miller on the basis of Mr Miller’s holding of those beliefs. His attempt to appeal against aspects of that decision – although he accepted the charge of gross misconduct – was rejected in the High Court in August 2025.

Watson’s complaint against me therefore had no reasonable chance of success, and GMP duly rejected it. Watson forced several internal reviews of the decision, all of which had the same outcome confirming the original decision, and he then applied for a judicial review in April 2024, which was refused.

Watson sought to appeal that decision on 14 August 2024 and was granted permission by HHJ Bird on a single ground. That appeal was heard in February 2025. Judgment was duly handed down by Mrs Justice Hill, who refused the application and also refused Watson leave to appeal in April 2025."
