Drummond's Targeted Attacks on Civil-Case Witnesses
Following the verdict in the criminal defamation case against Adam Howell, Andrew Drummond published a series of articles attacking named civil-case witnesses with explicit accusations of lying in court. Witnesses subsequently expressed fear of further online attack and declined to attend civil hearings. This page documents Drummond's verbatim quotes and the source-admission that confirms Howell is his supply line.
Why This Matters
- Live proceedings: The quotes below were published while the civil defamation case against Adam Howell was still active. Publishing attacks on witnesses during live proceedings can amount to attempted interference with the administration of justice.
- Named individuals: Nick Dean and Fernando Bauab Levy are identified by full name, location and profession — maximum identification and therefore maximum chilling effect.
- Perjury framing: Drummond does not merely disagree with the witnesses — he categorically states they “lied to the court”, an accusation of criminal perjury.
- Documented chilling effect: Witnesses have expressed fear of further online attacks and declined to participate in subsequent hearings.
- Chris B:A third individual, Chris B, is also a documented witness whom the campaign has targeted elsewhere. Drummond's four primary post-verdict articles do not name him directly, but he has been the subject of related attacks across the broader platform network.
Direct Verbatim Quotes from Drummond's Articles
“These claims were made by Flowers, his wife and two witnesses, the Night Wish Group's Brazilian photographer Fernando Bauab, and Nick Dean himself.”
Impact: Names both witnesses in the context of defamation proceedings and frames their testimony negatively.
“This friend Nick Dean from Stoke-on-Trent, UK, a Vlogger… Dean promptly went to Flowers to tell him what Howell was up to.”
Impact: Frames Nick Dean's act of warning Bryan Flowers as suspicious rather than as standard civic conduct.
“Nick Dean, Vlogger from Stoke-on-Trent, running the NDTV1 Channel – in business with Flowers. Lied in court.”
Impact: Drummond flat-states that Nick Dean 'lied in court' — an accusation of perjury made against a named witness while proceedings are live. This is the clearest example of credibility-destroying language aimed at a civil-case witness.
“Flowers… then two other witnesses Nick Dean and the NWG photographer Fernando Bauab Levy, described how 'many people' had come up to them…”
Impact: Both witnesses named by full name alongside material intended to discredit their testimony.
“The 'neutral witnesses' had clearly deliberately lied to the court. Dean went further than most claiming that when he saw the video it was definitely in public review.”
Impact: Direct accusation of perjury against 'neutral witnesses' — both named witnesses of the defamation case. The framing is designed to punish testimony and deter future participation.
“We were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files”
“That's when this website became involved. After publishing a story… we were contacted by Howell who unloaded his files.”
Drummond admits in writing that Adam Howell — a convicted defamer with three criminal cases pending and a civil case against him — is the source of his material. This converts the single-source argument from inference to direct admission by the publisher himself. This is the first-person admission that corroborates everything documented at /evidence/paid-to-troll (Howell admits paying Drummond to conduct the campaign).
