The Guardian ran a piece about the UK protest at St Hill coinciding with the IAS event.
This was also picked up by Newsweek.
This is clearly not good news for the COB and scientology. The piece not only talks about the protest but brings up the lawsuits Miscavige is named in as well as the Danny Masterson conviction. Scientology responded in oh-so typical fashion — they are the victims being harassed and the “Apostate Alex” is a nobody they have never heard of…
Scientology told the Guardian the UK protest was harassment “orchestrated by an anti-Scientologist who exploits his few weeks of participation in the church over a decade ago”. It said allegations against the group were “totally false” and that the Florida human trafficking case and the lawsuit brought by Remini were “blatant harassment”.
It sucks to be Miscavige.

I don’t think it sucks that badly to be Miscavige. He never believed in Scientology anyway. He’s probably enjoying his wealth, although he probably fears jail time. It sucks much more to actually believe in Scientology, to be fooled by the cruel cult.
I hope those protesters have copies of the papers being attempted to be served on Misckiewics – so they can relay them to their media contacts. They could as well give them to the security people they are likely to encounter – doesn’t hurt when the cult’s staff start talking about Mieskiewics’ hiding from the process servers.
There is a mechanism for doing this however in a short time frame it seems tough to be able to do. The suits in the US have to get their judge to sign off on a request to the British court which then has to approve the request and then a special type of process server has to serve him. Serving him would require going on private property to do as he will likely not be on public roads… This has been discussed on at least Growing Up in Scientology’s channel with a lawyer. I think it has been discussed on a couple others.
If at all possible, this would be the perfect time to serve the CoB with court papers. A brave legal just needs to get inside…….
Kudos to Apostate Alex for this protest!
Ideal Scene: Cap’n Dave has to sell off ‘ideal morgues’ to pay the fines, judgements, back taxes, and penalties arising from the multitude of lawsuits against scientology.
Mike, thank you for sharing this. It just goes to show us SPs are actually incredibly supportive of each other – a far cry from the ‘Covert Hostility’ tone level Hubbard puts us at. What a major flap for OSA.. oops!
You ROCK! Love your SP TV channel. Great Job! Good Work! YOU ARE SAVING LIVES.
Not to be mean but maybe you guys could offer food because a lot of them are probably hungry. Probably tricky territory though.
Those who claim to be harassed are often the harassers themselves.
So true, especially when it comes to David Miscavige and the Church of David Miscavige – I mean Scientology. It’s part of his mindset – “accuse others of what you yourself are doing.”
These protestations of innocence are both amusing and aggravating. Funny because they are such blatant lies, yet aggravating because someone may be deceived by the lies (even if it’s only themselves).
