[Update 22 May 2022 – My Media World Limited and Director Muhammad Butt sued over this article in the High Court in a counterclaim in case QB-2020-003936. They dropped the libel case by discontinuance, after MHN editor Samuel Collingwood Smith entered a robust defence. The effect of discontinuance is they are automatically liable for Smith’s whole costs.]
A few weeks ago I reported on a public statement by Sonia Poulton. In her video she responded bullishly to a threatened claim in damages by John Hemming. In the description, she thanked, “Brand New Tube and their legal team”. Whether or not thanks were due is a matter of opinion. In her video Poulton seems to refer to at least one defence which has been abolished. Since then Hemming has filed his claim in the High Court and served Poulton. Despite her public bravado, her confidence seems to have wavered. Today, her third solicitor since the matter began obtained an Order for an extension of time to serve a Defence.
Sonia Poulton talked tough and issued an inflammatory and misleading ‘official statement’ on the dispute. Now, she is on her third solicitor and has begged the High Court for more time to serve a Defence. Extracted still used for the purpose of criticism and review.
Of course, there would normally be nothing wrong or unusual about asking the court for an extension of time except that per the video above Sonia had already prepared her defences. So … why not just write them up? Why ask for more time? The Order the court has made is public, so I can say that it was made on the basis of CPR 23.10 (without notice / hearing from John) and costs lie in the case (the winner of the libel claim will get the costs arising from the application and resistance to it).
Because the Order was made under CPR 23.10 Hemming now has the option of applying to set it aside or pointing and laughing at the other side’s frantic antics. What he does is a matter for him but he is unlikely to be feeling especially stressed.
In the meantime, your author confesses to being genuinely bewildered by Brand New Tube’s (BNT) approach to Poulton. In a recent edition of the Raw Report, Muhammad Butt (a director of My Media World Limited, which owns BNT) confirmed Sonia Poulton was employed. Yet, she continues to produce content as an employee which carries a high risk of defamation proceedings in relation to un-convicted, living, individuals it is suggested ought to be suspected of child rape and / or murder. Not, one would suspect, a recipe for business success (or solvency).
Team Poulton were very keen and punctual when they grouped into Kingston crown court for a hearing of no consequence (A plea and trial preparation hearing – PTPH – requires the defendant to enter a plea regarding the offence they are alleged to have committed – guilty or not guilty. The plea will then determine the direction the criminal case will take.)
I was in the dock. I endured more scrutinisation/examination than most. The OIC in the case was scampering in and out of court room 11 and requesting to speak to the CPS barrister. Poulton eventually got her way. Her demands to move back the date of the fake allegations to four years previous was put to the judge who agreed. The police and CPS forgot to mention that it would probably benefit me more-so as I could introduce additional evidence from the same time extension that reinforced my defence and further rebuked all that was alleged.
Of course none of this was known to me at the time. It wasn’t until later that the benefits became apparent. To be perfectly honest, at the time I could barely stand. My legs were shaking, sweat appeared on my forehead and palms and my mouth was too dry to speak. Still, I managed to refuse the offer of a guilty plea for the fifth time. Just as well innit?
So I’m surprised an extension was begged for. But then I googled her solicitor. Say no more.
Anti vax, anti mask, and anti trans campaigns and protests do not organise themselves, and Sonia Poulton’s spare time is currently being spent in resurrecting misery and humiliation for Lord Ken Clarke. (See her latest BNT interview with Ben Fellows.)
This leaves Sonia Poulton with little time or regard for current legal matters concerning mhn and John Hemming.
Whilst wishing to destroy the lives and livelihoods of her victims, she has no intention of allowing such trifles as court cases to impede her progress in creating material and generating an income for herself through BNT. A matter of priorities.

No glitch on the gofundme page.
People are ignoring it.
Genuine victims of abuse having realised people such as Esther Baker have made the general public, police and potential jurors more cynical about rape and abuse victims than ever before.

Despite the entertainment value and fodder provided by Esther Baker to Mark Watts, Sonia Poulton, ciabaudo and craftymuvva, neither they or anyone else appear to want to be seen helping her out with her current money problems.
The meanies. Without Esther Baker and people like her, they would have had little to talk about on social media for many years.
Without Esther Baker, how would they have been able to spend all those years talking openly on social media about their rape fantasies involving well known people, small boys and girls, or stalkers breaking into their homes to rape and stab them in front of their children?
