I am delighted to report that I have successfully defended the libel claim brought against me in the High Court by Nina Power and Daniel ‘DC’ Miller, which I have been fighting for over four years.

The disclosed WhatsApps reveal that Nina Power and Daniel Miller both kept copies of Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'—with Mr Miller suggesting they might "find [themselves] agreeing with it."
This leads Ms Power to "Wonder what the real deal is with the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion]".

The logs show Nina Power claiming "the social disapproval for 'racism' is a psyop to stop people realising that there *are* alien and fairy races", and that "black and white were alien races and very different".
Mr Miller replied, "yes you should not reveal this to most people".

I am pleased to share that the High Court has ordered Nina Power and Daniel 'DC' Miller to pay 80% of my legal costs, both for their libel claim and my counterclaim in harassment—with an initial payment of £250,000 due next week—bringing these proceedings to a close.

Nina Power used her secret 'gorsedd6' account to engage extensively with other far-right associates including London neo-Nazi Jack Stokoe, aka 'Parallax Optics', who inspired the 2021 Denver mass shooter.

Nina Power also proposed setting up a publisher with Daniel Miller featuring "no fatties, no women, no homo…and definitely definitely no tr*nnies unless it's to admit they are just sick mfs"—before Mr Miller suggests "fleeing to argentina like [Nazi war criminal Josef] Mengele".

At the same time as predicting an imminent "orgy of blood" above, Nina Power was running secret 'Groyper' accounts as well as the anonymous 'gorsedd6' account that she used to target me with what the judge ruled was aggressive bullying with the “whiff of threat and antisemitism".

In her Judgment, Mrs Justice Collins Rice described Ms Power and Mr Miller’s conduct as “aggressive”, “bullying” and that it was “richly deserving of the epithet ‘regrettable’”. The Judge expressly stated that she did not “underestimate the effect it may have had on Mr Turner.”

Ms Power and Mr Miller had sued me in respect of 16 tweets, which I posted in 2018-19, as well as the ‘content warning’ of a webpage archive of some of Mr Miller’s own Twitter publications in which I described the nature of those posts.

Miller is the son of the Spectator journalist Jonathan Miller and Terry Miller CBE, a director and former senior legal counsel of Goldman Sachs.
Through solicitors, Mrs Miller attempted at the last to avert her son's bankruptcy by making a derisory offer, which was not accepted.

In respect of my counterclaim in harassment, the Judge ruled that she was satisfied that Ms Power and Mr Miller’s course of conduct towards me that began in mid-2018 “could objectively and reasonably be described as an exercise in bullying”.
1
15
399
Ms Power & Mr Miller were shown to have operated ‘Groyper’ accounts, which the Judge described as being “particularly enjoyed in the New Right milieu.” One tweet Ms Power directed at me from her secret ‘Groyper’ account included an image of a man about to be burned at the stake.

Amongst her findings in reaching this conclusion, the Judge noted that “Mr Miller and Ms Power did and said controversial things in public. Many more people than Mr Turner were able to form and express adverse views by direct observation of this, and did so".

Mrs Justice Collins Rice observed in Ms Power and Mr Miller's course of conduct against me “what might fairly be called a casualness, or perhaps (put at its highest) a knowingness or artfulness, around antisemitic tropes.”

329
The Judge added in relation to Ms Power and Mr Miller's course of conduct against me that “this was not a thought experiment. It was a ‘dabbling in the soul’ of a real-life Jewish man who had been subjected to antisemitic outrage on account of an artwork.”

Mrs Justice Collins Rice noted that “perhaps one of the oldest and most persistent of all tropes of antisemitism is that antisemitism itself is a figment of the corrupt Jewish imagination, a Jewish conspiracy.”

She found that “it is hard not to conclude that the risk of creating an experience of antisemitism was one which [Ms Power and Mr Miller] were especially well placed to understand and which they were not equivalently scrupulous to avoid.”

323
The Judge found that where Mr Miller and Ms Power targeted me on Twitter, “the full lexicon of Twitter trolling is objectively recognisable.” This included “crude personal invective” and “faux-naïve insistence that he is constantly mistaken in his understanding of their views.”
1
11
317
It also emerged that Ms Power & Mr Miller had been coordinating at the time with Athens Biennale exhibitor Daniel Keller and LD50 gallery artist Deanna Havas, with email chains between them showing that Mr Miller had suggested that the group seek to “defeat” me “psychologically”.

The Judge found “perhaps most insidiously” Ms Power & Mr Miller’s conduct towards me included “a theme of Mr Turner’s paranoia and solipsism on the subject of antisemitism itself: his declared experiences and diagnoses of antisemitism are said to be false, deluded and malicious.”

However, she concluded amongst other things that the “whiff of threat and antisemitism which they themselves can fairly be held to have created [was] too occasional” to meet the high legal threshold for a claim in harassment, namely a quasi-criminal level.

In her ruling, Mrs Justice Collins Rice found that “there may be some objectively discernible undertow of menace in all of this. Mr Miller’s and Ms Power’s course of conduct was certainly aggressive, in register, language and imagery.”
