Freemasons, Intelligence, and the Murder That Changed Police Policy

The following email from the States of Jersey Police to Jordan confirms that Mr. Durrant established two trusts in Jersey using dummy settlors. This supports Jordan’s findings that stolen trusts exist in Jersey—specifically, the true Emerald Trust deed dated 10 November 1975, where Mr. Vaart and Patricia Grace O’Malley were named trustees, and the trust deed of 9 January 1969, which also used the name Grace O’Malley as a dummy settlor. A separate file on missing assets and trusts is available upon request.

The email also contains further falsehoods, such as the claim that Mr. Smalley was compelled to hire lawyers to deal with Jordan—a baseless assertion. What the impostor trustee told the police is entirely inconsistent with what was conveyed to the rightful beneficiaries of Mr. Durrant’s trusts, highlighting deliberate misrepresentation and concealment of trusts.

The correspondence below confirms that Mr. Durrant established two trusts using dummy settlors. Jordan has since located both of these original trusts, and crucially, neither document names the Freemasons as beneficiaries.

Jordan email to DI Webster in the states of Jersey police.

Jordan’s email to DI Webster in Jersey shows him asking how DI Webster obtained certain information, and whether it came through direct communication with the alleged fraudsters.

Jordan’s email to DI Webster shows him correcting several inaccuracies in DI Webster’s earlier message to him.

March 10^th, 2022, Chelsea owner Abramovich, Rosenft boss Sechin hit by UK sanctions. By Michael Holden and William James.

The following email is from the BVI lawyer who was introduced to Jordan by Callin Wild. It concerns Simon Nicholas Hope Cooper, an individual who served as a family-appointed director of Manor Estates and who has been in trouble with the SFO as well as involved in multiple high-level fraud cases worldwide.

Crucially, Callin Wild represent the other branches of the Durrant family who support Mr Smalley, meaning the firm had a clear and obvious conflict of interest. They should never have spoken to Jordan or held a Zoom call with him. The interaction itself violates the most basic principles of professional independence, confidentiality, and impartiality.

Below is the email from the States of Jersey Police stating that the case had been shut down and instructing Jordan to stop calling them.

The following emails show that the BVI lawyer requested access to the evidence Jordan intended to file and referred to having already seen witness statements from Mr. Bridson. This raises a serious question: how could he have obtained these documents unless they had been improperly shared with him by Callin Wild, given that he was not a party to the proceedings?

The email from MOPAC to Jordan shows that the case is awaiting allocation to a caseworker.

The BVI lawyer falsely claimed that he had accessed paperwork directly from the court. This was untrue. He was working on behalf of lawyers acting against the Durante family and was attempting to obtain Jordan’s evidence in order to pass it to the opposing side.

The email below shows that the case was adjourned by consent of all parties. The Isle of Man lawyer who was representing the Durrant family, Mr Lawrence Vaughan-Williams, is a self-confessed Freemason and should never have taken on a case in which the Freemasons are named as beneficiaries.

Throughout the proceedings, this lawyer refused to amend the claim form to include fraud, ignored the family’s instructions, and agreed to delays at every hearing, costing the Durrant family a significant amount of money while effectively working in the interests of the other side.

The family is now allegedly being pursued for his fees — fees which Jordan will ensure are recovered in full and that no further payment is ever made to him.

Below is the Isle of Man Police shutting the case down yet again. In total, the case was opened and closed around sixteen times, each reopening triggered only because new evidence was repeatedly forced onto the police by Jordan.

This pattern shows a system desperate to close the file, regardless of the evidence being uncovered.

The following is the long-awaited FOI response concerning Mr. Durrant and what Jordan has identified as the world’s largest criminal syndicate. In their reply, the police stated that they could neither confirm nor deny whether the case was linked to Mr. Durrant.

Below is Jordan’s email to the States of Jersey Police, setting out his allegations.

The following email chain between Jordan and the Isle of Man Courts concerns the BVI lawyer’s claim that he obtained case papers “directly from the court.” The court’s response confirms this was untrue, establishing that the BVI lawyer lied about his source of documents.

April 4^th, 2022, The Mirror newspaper headline reads ‘Robert Maxwell’s mysterious death and claims Jeffery Epstein helped hide stolen millions.

The following email from Jordan to the Isle of Man FSA explains that the Durante family are not even recorded as shareholders of their own companies. Jordan further highlights that the Beneficial Ownership Act is meaningless in practice—serving only as a façade to convince the public that the Isle of Man is a safe and well-regulated place to invest, when in reality it is not.

The following email shows that the Law Society shared all of Jordan’s work and information with its then-president, Kathryn Clough. At the time, Clough was both president of the Law Society and a practising advocate at Callin Wild. She was also directly involved in the Isle of Man

proceedings, representing the other two-family bloodlines who continued to support Mr. Smalley. This demonstrates a direct conflict of interest and further evidence of collusion.

The email below, sent by Jordan to the Beneficial Ownership Act department, sets out his allegations and details the Durrant family’s experience with the Isle of Man authorities and related agencies.

Below is Jordan’s email to the Isle of Man Government’s Anti-Corruption Department.

The anti corruption unit in the Isle of Man can not help the Durante family.

Below is a email re Jordan's FIO request to the Metropolitan police.

Below is Jordan’s email to the Isle of Man legal review department to be forwarded onto Lord Garnier’s office in London.

Below is Jordan’s email to MOPAC and their reply.

The following email from the Isle of Man Courts confirms that both parties had once again agreed to adjourn the case for several months. This pattern of repeated adjournments occurred while the Durante family were living in poverty in Spain, despite their clear instructions that the case should not be delayed further. Each postponement effectively gave Mr. Smalley more time to destroy documents and dissolve companies. The conduct of the Isle of Man advocate, Mr. Lawrence Vaughn-Williams, in enabling this process was a true disgrace.

The following email from Kathy Harries states that Jordan’s email address had been blocked by the Royal courts of Jersey.This action suggests the involvement of Freemasonic influence within the judicial system. Kathy Harries had also dealt with Johns xxxxxxxx case in earlier matters, making it highly likely that she was already familiar with the Durante family name through previous court cases and documents filed before the Durante proceedings began.

The below email shows that MOPAC’S deadline of six months has well passed and the review has not taken place.

The following email from the court confirms that the Durante family would be dialled in to participate in the hearing. In reality, this never happened—another instance where the family was deliberately excluded from their own case.

The following email from Jordan to Julie Jones records that Julie had previously stated she had no objection to Jordan using recorded calls with the police. In one such call, Julie admitted that “it was not a hard fraud to understand.” Yet, in her communications with others, she consistently claimed that there was no evidence of a crime within her jurisdiction. This contradiction exposes Julie as corrupt, actively protecting the criminals involved and, in doing so, safeguarding the island’s international reputation rather than pursuing justice.

The email below shows that the court case was yet again adjourned against Mr Durante’s instructions for months , this happened every time whilst this advocate was employed by the Durante family eventually, he was sacked when Jordan flew to the Isle of Man and appeared in court instead of the corrupt advocate Mr Lawrence Vaughan-Williams.

Below is Jordan’s email to the Advocate Disciplinary Department in the Isle of Man, in relation to the raising of serious concerns about the sharing of confidential information by the Law Society with the opposing parties.The email is in reference to Jordan’s complaint about being introduced to a BVI lawyer by Callin Wild — a firm that was, at the time, headed by the President of the Law Society and was simultaneously working for the opposing side.

This represents yet another serious conflict of interest and further evidence of systemic misconduct within the Isle of Man legal framework.

The email below — sent by a journalist — confirms that the Chief Minister of the Isle of Man, Alfred Cannan, was fully aware of the case. Despite this, he took no action and offered no assistance to the Durrant family or to Jordan.

This further demonstrates how the highest levels of the island’s government were informed, yet chose to ignore the evidence and the family’s pleas for help.

The following document is the long-awaited response from MOPAC regarding the police investigation and the conduct of the officers involved in handling the case.

The MOPAC review is an utter disgrace. It dismissively brands Jordan a “Masonic conspiracist,” a label that is strikingly ironic given the evidence that the Freemasons benefited from a fraudulent trust deed produced after the settlor’s murder. Jordan subsequently travelled to the Netherlands and located Mr. Arie van der Vaart, who is identified as the appointor of the Emerald Trust deed that was produced post-murder.

When Jordan met Mr. van der Vaart, Mr. van der Vaart was unaware that his long-time acquaintance, Mr. Durrant, had been murdered and had never been supplied with the impostor trustee’s communications to the Durante family. Crucially, Mr. van der Vaart retained letters from Mr. Durrant—sent in his capacity as treasurer of the Anglo-Dutch lodge—requesting that Mr. van der Vaart act as trustee. These original letters corroborate the existence of the genuine Emerald Trust dated 10 November 1975.

A substantial file of Anglo-Dutch lodge correspondence and related impostor trustee communications underpin this matter and forms a central strand of the Durante family’s allegations of cover-up and corruption following Mr. Durrant’s death. Relevant documents and recordings are available on request.

June 9^th, 2022, Murder map website publishes the murder of JWD, headline reads ‘Murder in Suburbia the unsolved case of James William Durrant in 1988’.

June 22^nd, 2022, The Jersey evening Post headline reads ‘Documents found in Jersey manor house link trust to Ghislaine Maxwell family’. The article shows that Mr Epstein and Ghislaine used offshore companies to build and disguise their wealth and that the Maxwell brothers were acquitted of fraud following an 8-month trial in 1996.

July 2^nd, 2022, Holly Evans writes ‘Brutal unsolved murder of life of the party Southall dad stabbed to death after being ambushed in his car’. – Murder of Surinder Gill

July 9^th, 2022, Surrey live article reads ‘Murder of successful business woman stabbed 8 times with butchers’ knife in random attack remains unsolved’. Re Murder of Jean Bradley.

July 24^th, 2022, IOM Newspaper reads ‘Advocate charged with perjury to appear in court in September ‘This is a case involving Mr John Wright who signed MED’S fraudulent will with Gillian Chapman’.

Gillian Chapman was a director of a company called XXXXXXX, and John was the shareholder.This is why New Scotland Yard told Sir Edward that the seven individuals Jordan identified — individuals the original 1988 murder investigation completely failed to identify — only appeared to be involved with the trust structures in the aftermath of Mr Durrant’s murder.

Because John owned the company, he would have known Mr Smalley extremely well.Mr Smalley was the executor of the Durrant estates for decades, and both men worked in:

• the same industry,

• dealing with arms-related companies,

• operating as lawyers and trust service providers,

• and even sharing the same Jersey business address (which will be shown shortly).

Yet, despite all of this overlap, Mr Smalley denies ever knowing John — a claim that becomes increasingly impossible to believe when the corporate and professional links are laid out clearly.

It should be noted that Mr. Karran continued addressing Jordan as “Mr. Durant” in his emails, despite Jordan’s email address clearly showing his correct name as Mr. Durante.

The following series of emails document Jordan’s repeated attempts to obtain a lawful SARs response from Mr. Karran. What should have been a straightforward process instead took many months to complete, reflecting deliberate delay and obstruction.

The following letter is from Penningtons Manches Cooper, the law firm representing the other two branches of the Durante family who have supported Mr. Smalley’s actions for decades. Formerly known as Manches & Co., the firm has acted for those family branches since 1989.

Penningtons Manches is itself named in connection with the world’s largest criminal syndicate. Significantly, one of the very few arrests ever made in relation to this syndicate involved a senior partner at this firm—a fact that will be demonstrated later in this dossier.

The following email illustrates Jordan’s difficulties in obtaining a lawful SARs response from the Isle of Man Police Complaints Commissioner, Mr. Karran.

The following email from Jordan to the Isle of Man Courts concerns a criminal case of perjury involving Mr. John Wright, who signed Mrs. Durrant’s fraudulent will in the Isle of Man. Once the courts and police became aware of his role in the Durante family case, his charges were abruptly dropped, and the prosecution was brought to an end.

January 8^th, 2023, Mr Peter Williams writes an article and the headline reads’ The Freemasons no longer have significant influence in the British police’.

January 23^rd, 2023, Talk TV interview with Ghislaine Maxwell believes Jeffrey Epstein was murdered – and wishes she never met him’.

The following email from the Metropolitan Police was sent to Jordan after he presented new evidence identifying the real trustee, Mr. Vaart, from the Netherlands. Notably, the police only contacted Jordan because he had succeeded in getting Surrey Live to publish an article about his grandfather’s murder—an article that clearly unsettled the Metropolitan Police.

The following email from DI Davies states that Jordan had been given “privileged and extraordinary access” to information regarding the investigation. It further directs that any future contact with the Commissioner’s Office would be referred back to him. This mirrors the approach taken by Julie Jones in the Isle of Man, who similarly told Jordan that pursuing matters elsewhere would be futile—effectively creating a closed loop to block escalation or independent oversight.

The following email from DI Davis to Jordan advises him not to state that Mr. Durrant’s murder was financially motivated, suggesting it might “mislead” an Isle of Man judge. Just days later, Jordan appeared in the Isle of Man court, where Judge Needham abruptly resigned, announcing that a new UK judge would be brought in to take over the case. This replacement was arranged by Freemasonic influence, with the clear purpose of shutting the case down and ensuring that Mr. Durrant’s murder was never officially recognised as a financially motivated crime.

Below is Jordan’s email to the Historical Murder Unit in Putney, a unit that has repeatedly obstructed justice throughout this case.

dd

Email from DI Davis to Jordan states that “Operation Tenterden” was not the name of Mr. Durrant’s murder inquiry—even though SARs disclosures between the Jersey Police and the Isle of Man Police had previously indicated this operation name.

DI Davis has had the witness statement provided by Mr. Vaart, along with evidence from the accountant confirming that the $74 million was never repaid. Crucially, this fraudulent transaction was carried out by Mr. John to an address located on the very road next to where Mr. Durrant was murdered.

DI Davis was consistently obstructive, refusing to accept evidence from Jordan. In response, Jordan travelled to New Scotland Yard, where officers also declined to take the documents. He then went directly to DI Davis’s office at Jubilee House in Putney, only to find that Davis had instructed security not to accept any material from him. Undeterred, Jordan went on to Kingston Police Station, where officers were courteous, accepted the evidence, and issued Jordan with a receipt for the documentation (shown below).

The following emails between DI Davis and Mr. Vaart show that Davis was investigating whether Jordan had forged Mr. Vaart’s signature on his witness statements. Notably, DI Davis made no effort to interview or even call Mr. Vaart to obtain his views on Mr. Durrant’s murder. Instead of pursuing the substance of the case, Davis focused solely on targeting Jordan—an absolute disgrace for an officer in charge of such a serious inquiry.

The email below, from DI Davis to Jordan, explicitly states that DI Davis will not tolerate threats, being sworn at, or anything he perceives as a threat to his career.

Given the tone and content of that message, one has to wonder: Is this individual still serving in the police in 2026?

The above record refers to a call between DI Davis, Jordan, and his father. The call—recorded and available upon request—shows DI Davis first stating that the information he had confirmed the safe was open, but later contradicting himself by saying the safe was shut.

March 6^th, 2023, The Times newspaper headline reads ‘Grand lodge to forgive Italy’s Freemasons after 30 years in the cold’.

All of the above has unfolded since Jordan explained to the Grand Hall of Freemasons how these murders are interconnected — and how Maxwell, Durrant, and God’s Banker were all linked through the same named trust-service provider. Maxwell’s and Durrant’s structures appear to be later, updated versions of the same offshore model or at least by name of xxxxxxxxx.

This entire network, and the precise corporate and financial overlaps, will be fully explained in future posts.

How ironic that the Grand Hall has now reconciled with the Italian lodge, claiming they “no longer have mafia in their lodges” — a pointed reference to the old P2 lodge and Mr Roberto Calvi, God’s Banker.

Below is Jordan’s email to DI Davis, showing clearly that Jordan had become fed up with the ongoing Masonic cover-up. Jordan states that his father is legally entitled to receive his own witness statements — yet the police refused to provide them.

So Jordan obtained his father’s witness statements not through the police, but through the Coroner’s Office.What those statements reveal — and what the police were so determined to hide — which was a 33 degree masonic ritual murder as the coroner's report matches what is done in the 33 degree murder ritual and on Mr Durrant's body.

The email below records the first time Jordan was told that the safe was shut on the night Mr Durrant was murdered.The reader must remember that, prior to this, the murder team had reviewed the case multiple times and had previously emailed Jordan stating that the safe was open on the night of the murder let alone all the MOPAC reviews.

This contradiction speaks for itself — and raises serious questions about what was being concealed.

The following email shows that the police refused to provide Mr. Durante’s interview tapes or his witness statements, despite his clear entitlement to them. This raises serious questions: what are the police hiding, and why have they never released the information recovered from Mr. Durrant’s safe? Their refusal has directly hindered the rightful beneficiaries from accessing their inheritance for decades.

Through his own efforts, Jordan was able to obtain his father’s witness statements, along with many others, by securing a copy of the coroner’s report. That report contained graphic details of Mr. Durrant’s murder and clearly indicated the presence of more than one attacker.

The above demonstrates DI Davis’s continued obstruction, as he again instructed security staff at the Historical Murder Unit offices in Putney not to accept documents or information from Jordan.

March 10^th, 2023, Kent Online newspaper headline reads ‘Ancient artefact rediscovered in Kent Museum and library of Freemasonry in Canterbury’.

The Masonic maul — the very type of ceremonial hammer associated with a 33rd-degree Masonic death ritual, where the victim is struck on the right side of the temple — surfaced decades later in a Freemason museum near Tenterden in Kent.This is deeply significant: “Tenterden” is the exact name used for the murder operation in Mr Durrant’s case, even though DI Davis later claimed that name was ‘wrong’.

The museum itself was founded by Lord Cornwallis, who was Mr Durrant’s former friend and superior as the leader of the Anglo-Dutch Masonic lodges — the same network in which Mr Durrant was deeply involved.

And now, all these years later, a Masonic maul appears in that very museum, a maul that matches the injuries described in the Coroner’s report.

A video of the ritual is available on request.

The following email between Jordan and the opposing lawyers unexpectedly resulted in the production of the missing 1968 trust deed. Mr. Bridson claimed this deed had been terminated during Mr. Durrant’s lifetime—yet the very fact that the lawyers still retained it decades after his murder is highly suspicious. The 1968 trust deed is of critical importance, because it forms the foundation of the impostor trust company that exists today.In future posts, it will be shown clearly how Mr Durrant’s 1968 trust deed became the structural basis for the modern-day impostor trust company — the very entity that the Durrant family is forced to fight today, even though it is effectively their own company, or at the very least a major part of it.

April 10^th, 2023, Jordan email to Freemasons shows that Jordan has informed the Freemasons that he has tracked down an old Freemasons in Holland called Mr Vaart.

The following email from the Metropolitan Police claims that earlier references to the safe being open were simply a “typo” and that Jordan had previously been told this. These assertions are false. When Jordan requested a copy of the alleged email that supposedly confirmed this, the police failed to produce it—further evidence of lies and yet another cover-up.

The email below from New Scotland Yard confirms that Jordan identified seven individuals who were in business with Mr. Durrant but were never uncovered during the original murder investigation. These individuals only appeared in connection with the trusts in the aftermath of Mr. Durrant’s death. One of them is Mr. JOHN—yet his precise role has been concealed ever since the murder, raising serious questions.

• Metropolitan Police Professional Standards Unit - Camilla Hero email:

  
  

  Camilla Hero's email outlines the review of Jordan’s allegations. The police maintain that they have done nothing wrong and conclude that the murder investigation remains open and active. The summary of the investigation states:

  • The Metropolitan Police failed to link any financial misconduct to the death of Jordan’s grandfather.

  • The police will not investigate the financial crimes alleged in the Isle of Man (IOM) or Isle of Jersey (IOJ), asserting that the authorities in these locations have already investigated the thefts from the numerous trusts.

  • Jordan has been warned by IOM police that he could face arrest if he continues to be abusive on the phone.

  • The report mentions Jordan’s allegations against DI Davis, including his alleged obstructive behaviour and failings in investigating the case, such as not interviewing Mr. Vaart.

  • Regarding DI Davis's failure to interview Mr. Vaart, the police assert that there was no evidence to show that Mr. Vaart’s involvement with the trust was connected to Jordan’s grandfather’s murder. Therefore, the police maintain there was no need to interview him.

  • The police have declined to disclose the contents of the safe, citing it as material that cannot be disclosed.

  • DI Davis allegedly rejected additional information from Jordan because Jordan had not answered his previous questions.

  • DI Davis also allegedly refused to accept evidence through Dropbox or hard copies in person and sent Jordan to New Scotland Yard, which is seen as another example of his obstruction.

  • DI Davis directed Jordan to send any evidence about Mrs. Anna Durante being a trustee to the IOM police.

Richard terminated the call on Jordan when he asked if he was a Freemason and made out Jordan was abusive, hence why Jordan did a complaint to the ICO about Richard but now they state the calls are no recorded as Jordan was polite and not abusive.

December 11^th, 2024, Mr Vaart email to the data protection unit at the Freemasons, this email was only supplied after Jordan went through the process of the information commissioner when the Freemasons ignored Jordan’s SARS request. Mr Vaart’s email explains that he joined the Freemasons in 1973 and mentions that JWD was the treasurer of the Anglo-Dutch lodge and the Grand Hall of Freemasons in the United Kingdom.

December 11^th, 2024, Jordan email to the data protection unit at the Freemasons, passport attached, and formal SARS request made. Shows a comment ‘please let me know if you can progress this request as I have been trying most of this year’.

December 11^th 2024 Information commissioner email by Richard Battersby to Jordan shows that the Freemasons have stated that they responded to Jordan’s SARS request on September 19^th 2023 which is complete lies as Jordan has only put his first SARS request into the Freemasons in the year of 2024 and the Freemasons have never replied to the SARS request and lies over receiving the SARS request in 2024 as the Ugle secretary email does not work and the Livia email she states she never got it ! But Jordan has recorded calls asking for his SARS requests, the Freemasons are lying to the information commissioner.

December 12th, 2024 Metropolitan Police email to Jordan (SARS request): The Metropolitan Police acknowledged that Jordan's SARS request, made on November 28th, 2024, had a processing time of 30 days. The police, however, missed this deadline.

December 19^th, 2024, Jordan email to the information commissioner shows a comment ‘the Freemasons are not replying to the SARS request and never have. The Freemasons are lying to your organisation, please assist my family I really have had enough of this all year’.

January 6^th, 2025, Mr Taylor email to Mr Vaart shows a comment ‘thank you for your request of December 11^th, 2024. I apologise for the delay in replying over the Christmas period. I attach extract from email forwarded by Jordan Durante which refers to you, attachment sent to UGLE by Jordan Durante which included a 3-page extract from the Emerald trust deed, which name you as trustee and correspondence with a journalist, Mr Costello. The rest of the email is re when Mr Vaart joined the Freemasons and that the Freemasons will check their paper archives.

January 14^th 2025 Mr Vaart email to Mr Taylor shows a comment ‘ I am disappointed with the outcome of your findings so far. It is clear that this is because you have limited yourself to the available electronic database. The questions I asked you relate to the period before 1990. As is clear from my email dated December 11^th, 2024, my request goes back to 1975, and particularly concerns trusts where my name was involved, and which relates to Freemasons charity directly or indirectly’. The rest of the email mentions the two 1975 trust deeds and how Mr Vaart was the trustee’.

January 16^th, 2025, Mr Taylor email to Mr Vaart shows a comment ‘I’m sorry if I have not explained the matter clearly. The Emerald trust, if it exists, has nothing to do to with UGLE. We have seen copies of the trust deed that were provided to us by you and Mr Durante but have no other copy of that and no copy of the other trust deeds you mention, or other related correspondence. There is no reason I can discern why UGLE would hold a copy of them or would have had any involvement in the trusts. Attached is Mr Vaart’s Freemasons registration form, this shows any Freemason could have found Mr Vaart if they wanted to.

January 17^th 2025 Jordan email to Mr Taylor at the Freemasons Grand Hall shows a comment ‘ I have tried to obtain a lawful SARS request from your agency for some months. Will your organisation be supplying my lawful SARS request if not I can cease contact and start my work into other avenues’. Jordan offers a meeting to the Freemasons again. CC in the data protection email.

January 17^th, 2025, Mr Vaart email to Mr Taylor at the Freemasons shows a comment ‘can you please advise me as to whether this information may be available elsewhere within the Freemason organization. After all, it was about a Charitable trust for Masonic funds and given statements by fellow Freemasons at the funeral of James Durrant, this was known among his fellow Freemasons.’

January 20th, 2025 Rachel Hutcheson email to Jordan (Surrey Police Review): Rachel shared that the review of Jordan’s complaint by Sonia Holbrook-King had concluded. The complaint was regarding Surrey Police not forwarding information to Interpol as per advice from Interpol Panama and the NCA. The review revealed that Surrey Police had instead referred everything back to the Met Police, which Jordan believes is the source of the problem.

January 24^th, 2025, Information commissioner email to Jordan shows that the wants Jordan to start a new complaint.

January 24^th, 2025, Jordan email to the information commissioner a Kiranpreet shows a comment ‘why do I have to start my SARS complaint again surely you can see now the Freemasons lied to Richard and your department investigation was incorrect and flawed. I will forward you emails tomorrow when I have to spent my time yet again digging out emails for your department to do nothing with the information. Please note all communications are recorded and will be put in the public domain soon’.

January 25^th, 2025, Jordan email to the ICO Kiranpreet shows a comment ‘please see attached the screenshots of the failure of the Freemasons to acknowledge or respond since my second SARS request dated December 11^th, 2024, as your investigator recommended me to do. Your original investigation was flawed’.

January 30^th, 2025, Jordan email to Data protection at the UGLE and Mr Taylor shows a comment ‘My father and I still await any response from your so-called organisation re lawful SARS requests for all data held by your organisation under my name and my father’s. I recorded calls and with yourself when I asked for a SARS request on June 21^st, 2024, would you or your organisation like a copy of the call or others I hold? The public will find it very strange that your organisation pretended you did my SARS request to the information commissioner and then stated you didn’t get my emails’.

January 30th, 2025 Jordan email to Data Rights (Met Police):Jordan requested an update regarding his SARS request. He acknowledged a previous email from the Met Police regarding a delay in processing his request, and also asked for acknowledgment of the SARS request made by his father. Jordan inquired about the expected time frame for the completion of both requests.

February 4^th 2025 Guardian newspaper headline reads ‘British Virgin islands accused of shameful attempt to avoid financial crime crackdown’.

On 1 October 2025, Sir Mark Rowley made a significant public statement about Freemasonry during a BBC interview. The clip was later removed from the BBC platform, but the record of what was said—and my formal complaint to the BBC about its removal—remains.

In the interview, Sir Mark confirmed that the Metropolitan Police’s actions were part of an “intelligence-led operation.” This wording is crucial: he did not attribute the intelligence to the Daniel Morgan review (published back in 2021), raising serious questions about what new intelligence triggered Sir Mark’s statement—and whether it relates to the evidence I have been submitting since 2021 about my grandfather’s murder and the wider Masonic cover-up.

EXCLUSIVE: Paedophile who abused boy before his death 'protected by Freemasons'

The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association are calling for the Met Police to investigate the case after commissioner Sir Mark Rowley demanded secret society cops reveal their membership

A children's home worker who raped a 15-year-old boy later found hanged was protected by fellow Freemasons in the justice system, a survivors campaign has claimed.

The youngster was found dead in a bathroom of the notorious Shirley Oaks children’s home in Croydon in 1977, two years after the man he had accused of abuse walked free. Donald Hosegood, a confirmed Freemason, went on trial in 1975 for 11 counts of rape and indecent assault involving four children, but the case collapsed.

Further allegations of sexual abuse were made against Hosegood in 1998 to the Operation Middleton inquiry in Lambeth, south london, but officers falsely claimed he had died. He finally passed away in 2011 without facing justice.

Now the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association are calling for the Met Police to investigate the case after commissioner Sir Mark Rowley demanded secret society cops reveal their membership. Sir Mark spoke out after the discovery that three of five Met officers arrested on suspicion of covering up a sex assault are Freemasons.

Masonic links between a detective sergeant accused of molesting a female colleague and two other cops alleged to have suppressed the case are being investigated.

The Communications Director for UGLE, Mr Sean Butler, repeatedly ignored Jordan’s calls—just as Adrian Marsh did.Notably, this silence occurred on the very same date Mr Durrant was murdered all those decades ago.

Published: 26 October 2025

In 2021, the United Grand Lodge of England cooperated fully with an independent inquiry, that stated at the end of its investigation that: "The Inquiry did not receive any direct evidence of Freemasonry influencing or obstructing the investigation of child sexual abuse."

We are surprised that a national newspaper such as The Daily Mirror, would not have felt it necessary to properly research the previous circumstances around the case, choosing instead to repeat disproved and unproven conspiracy theories. We will be lodging a complaint with the Independent Press Standards Organisation to make these points in full - such is the seriousness of the transgression made in the piece against our organisation and members.

As Freemasons, we are deeply committed to the preservation of, and adherence to, the law. We are completely supportive of the victim's call for justice in this case and our thoughts remain with them in their battle to achieve this. 

We look forward to the Daily Mirror correcting their article to appropriately reflect the truth.

Freemasons launch legal action against Metropolitan Police

Share

Published: 17 December 2025

The United Grand Lodge of England (“UGLE”), also acting on behalf of The Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons (all of which together represent Freemasonry in England, Wales, The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) announces that it has sent a letter before claim in respect of judicial review proceedings against the Metropolitan Police  (the “Met”) in response to the Met’s announcement on 11 December 2025 that it has added Freemasonry to its list of declarable associations.

The result of the Met’s new decision is that police officers and police staff who are, or have been, Freemasons will be compelled to inform the Met of their membership and that this will now be a mandatory declaration in its vetting procedures.

While acknowledging recent concerns over police vetting procedures, UGLE considers this decision to be unlawful, unfair and discriminatory against Freemasons, and considers the consultation process which has been followed by the Met to be wholly inadequate, prejudicial and unjust.

UGLE has made clear its concerns to the Met regarding any intended action to introduce a reporting requirement that has the potential to undermine public credibility of male and female Freemasons, or that could impact negatively on its members, or the contribution that they make to society.  It believes that mandatory declaration breaches the fundamental rights of the organisations and their members and is also in breach of the Equality Act 2010 and UK GDPR.

Accordingly, UGLE has written to the Met setting out its intentions to seek a judicial review of the decision unless its implementation is suspended immediately.

Commenting on behalf of the United Grand Lodge of England, the Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons, Adrian Marsh, Grand Secretary of UGLE, said:

“Freemasonry has the highest moral and ethical standards – standards that have been a cornerstone of its identity since the earliest days of organised Freemasonry over 300 years ago. Our members embody our core values of integrity, friendship, respect and service – and this can be seen across London, the rest of the country, through tireless work within our communities to help those in need. Within individual Lodges, we enjoy the timeless traditions that make our organisation unique around the globe. The decision by the Metropolitan Police casts an aura of mistrust over the entire Freemason community.  Given the obvious, detrimental impact on our members, United Grand Lodge of England, Order of Women Freemasons and Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons consider that we now have no choice but to take legal action to challenge this unlawful decision.We do not take this decision lightly but feel that we are left with no other options, in order to defend the rights of those in our membership, both male and female, present and past, that serve the people of London loyally in any capacity under the banner of the Metropolitan Police.”

Openness of UGLE and Freemasonry

United Grand Lodge of England, Order of Women Freemasons and Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons are aware of misconceptions regarding Freemasonry stretching back over a number of decades.  In response to this, over the last 30 years, UGLE has carried out significant work to address these misconceptions, bringing public perceptions up to date through increased openness and disclosure about its values and its work in society and for charity.

The success of this work has been borne out by its increased popularity in recent years, especially in attracting younger members, and the number of visitors we have each day to our building in Covent Garden.

The consultation process followed by the Met

Since the consultation was published on the Met website on 29 September 2025 under the title, “Consultation on Freemasonry becoming a declarable association”, UGLE has sought to communicate its position to the Met during two in-person meetings with Commander Simon Messinger and in correspondence with the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley.  UGLE considers the level of engagement from the Met and the limited justification it has put forward for the decision to be wholly inadequate.

UGLE has made it clear throughout that it has been willing to engage with the consultation, but it was never given the information to enable it to do so meaningfully and fairly.

UGLE is, therefore, extremely disappointed that the Met has reached this decision without a fair consultation process, or any direct engagement with it, or proper notice, on the reasons for this decision.  The Met’s failure properly to consult and to publish this new requirement with immediate effect is particularly troubling in circumstances where the Met had agreed to consult fully prior to making any decision and when such a decision affects the regard in which Freemasons are held. It is likewise highly unusual that the Met would not consider any alternative solutions in the knowledge that expensive legal action must follow.

Public statements from the Met since 11 December 2025

In its statement released on 11 December 2025, the Met referred to the reporting requirement being introduced for “hierarchical organisations that require members to support and protect each other” and so being added to the Met’s declarable associations policy.  In that statement, the Met also stated that it had discussed the change in policy with UGLE.

UGLE considers these statements to be misleading:

• On the Met statement that Freemasons are, “required to support and protect each other” the Met has omitted the true nature of this obligation which is importantly qualified in Freemasonry, where it is primarily a moral one, and the level of support is expected to be within one's ability and without detriment to one's own family or one's duty to the law of the land. Without this explanation, the phrase used by the Met is misleading and capable of misinterpretation. Furthermore, it disregards similar commitments made in most religions, albeit without the same additional aspect of respecting the law of the land.

• On the Met statement that “Senior officers have discussed the results of the staff consultation and our decision with the United Grand Lodge of England, which is the headquarters of Freemasonry in England and Wales, as well as the Police Federation and other representative bodies”, the Met implies that effective consultation has taken place. This is not the case.

Regarding the stated evidence base for the decision:

• The Met has provided inconsistent and insufficient data - the Met says a survey sent to all c.40.000 Metropolitan Police officers and staff, but completed by less than 5% of them, is enough to justify this move. Meanwhile, the Met subsequently claimed in a radio interview on LBC with Sir Mark Rowley that two-thirds of members supported the change. This statement was not included in the Met statement of 11 December 2025.

• The Met says that internal intelligence has made this move necessary; however, this intelligence is not public and should be to enable proper public scrutiny.

• The Met says that female police officers and staff have welcomed this announcement - although there is no evidence to support this statement and no explanation being provided for the reasoning behind the decision to the thousands of female Freemasons across the country.

UGLE also believes that the use of the description, “hierarchical associations” by the Met is intended to imply a broad constituency of potentially declarable associations, while the real focus of the new policy is on Freemasons alone, and that the description used is, therefore, disingenuous.

Further, the Met states that it is addressing longstanding concerns over secrecy of any members’ organisation.  However, Freemasonry is not a secret organisation, being similar to many organisations where membership is private and regulated under the GDPR legislation. Indeed, unlike most other private organizations, UGLE publishes a list of its c.4,000 most senior members, which is available for purchase from the Shop at Freemasons’ Hall, which is open to the general public daily.

Action to be taken by UGLE

In the light of the legal position, the failure of the Met consultation process, and in order to prevent damage to members, UGLE (also acting on behalf of The Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons) intends to seek a judicial review of the decision in the High Court and has sent a “letter before claim” to the Met outlining the action it intends to take.

Statement from the Metropolitan Police Federation

UGLE notes the statement made by the Metropolitan Police Federation (“MPF”) on 11 December 2025 that, “forcing police officers to declare their membership in the Freemasons could violate their human rights and is an “unnecessary and wrong” policy.  The MPF also questioned the timing and enforceability of the new policy, highlighting that the issue had been debated over decades.

UGLE also notes that the intention to introduce any reporting requirement in the past had always been ruled unlawful.

Published: 11 December 2025

The United Grand Lodge of England (“UGLE”), the home of Freemasonry in England, Wales and the Channel Islands, notes today’s announcement by the Metropolitan Police that it will now require mandatory declaration of membership of Freemasonry as a declarable association, meaning that male and female officers and staff who are Freemasons will be compelled to inform the Met of this.

Whilst aware of recent concerns over police vetting procedures, UGLE considers this policy decision to be unlawful, disproportionate, unfair and discriminatory. 

UGLE has endeavoured to engage constructively and openly with the Met on this matter over recent weeks and is most disappointed that it has reached this decision without a genuine dialogue or any direct engagement with UGLE on the substantive reasons which affect the integrity and the positive regard in which our members are held.

Commenting on behalf of the United Grand Lodge of England, the Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons, Adrian Marsh said:

“We are disappointed that a decision which potentially affects our members has been taken without open or effective consultation.  Our values of Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service are paramount in Freemasonry and have never been of more importance.  We see this action as unwarranted, and we are carefully considering an appropriate response. We will issue a further statement in due course.”

Yesterday (Friday 12 December) we were made aware of comments made by Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, on LBC Radio. The interview can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/live/DiUDn7klubc?si=U8FkSp8YY2tQTRyW&t=1659 

United Grand Lodge of England, the Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons note the comments made by the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police on Friday’s edition of Nick Ferrari’s LBC radio show. We feel compelled to respond to, and correct, several inaccurate and misleading representations of both the recent consultation held within the Metropolitan Police and Freemasonry in general. In the interview, the Commissioner claimed that “two thirds of our officers think it ought to be declarable.” This contradicts the Met’s own statement, which claimed that “2,000 colleagues completed the survey.” Considering that the Metropolitan Police’s website states that there are 46,000 Met Police officers and staff, this statement is evidently false. It also highlights that the survey being used as the basis of the policy change was only completed by under 5% of officers and staff. The Commissioner goes on to say: “we’ve looked at the intelligence picture today, and a combination of factors I’m satisfied that this is absolutely necessary.” At no point has this evidence been shared with us, to allow us to address concerns and if necessary, take action. We call on the Commissioner’s Office to release this intelligence as soon as practical, to enable us and the public to evaluate its credibility as a reason for this policy to be enacted. Towards the end of the interview, the Commissioner states: “There are many, many women officers in the organisation particularly, who are massively relieved at this decision because they feel they are disadvantaged by, sadly, a boy’s club.” As proud female Freemasons, we in the Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons take particular offense to this misleading and inaccurate statement. Women have been Freemasons now for over a century, longer than they have had the right to vote. We are proud of our history and heritage and inaccurate representations such as this are disappointing. 

As per our statement released on Thursday 11th December 2025, we continue to discuss our next steps on this matter and will be making a further announcement on our intentions in due course.

• The Met says that female police officers and staff have welcomed this announcement - although there is no evidence to support this statement and no explanation being provided for the reasoning behind the decision to the thousands of female Freemasons across the country.

UGLE also believes that the use of the description, “hierarchical associations” by the Met is intended to imply a broad constituency of potentially declarable associations, while the real focus of the new policy is on Freemasons alone, and that the description used is, therefore, disingenuous.

Further, the Met states that it is addressing longstanding concerns over secrecy of any members’ organisation.  However, Freemasonry is not a secret organisation, being similar to many organisations where membership is private and regulated under the GDPR legislation. Indeed, unlike most other private organizations, UGLE publishes a list of its c.4,000 most senior members, which is available for purchase from the Shop at Freemasons’ Hall, which is open to the general public daily.

Action to be taken by UGLE

In the light of the legal position, the failure of the Met consultation process, and in order to prevent damage to members, UGLE (also acting on behalf of The Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons) intends to seek a judicial review of the decision in the High Court and has sent a “letter before claim” to the Met outlining the action it intends to take.

Statement from the Metropolitan Police Federation

UGLE notes the statement made by the Metropolitan Police Federation (“MPF”) on 11 December 2025 that, “forcing police officers to declare their membership in the Freemasons could violate their human rights and is an “unnecessary and wrong” policy.  The MPF also questioned the timing and enforceability of the new policy, highlighting that the issue had been debated over decades.

UGLE also notes that the intention to introduce any reporting requirement in the past had always been ruled unlawful.

Freemasons to make injunction bid over Met Police membership declaration plan

By Henry Moore

Freemasons are set to make a bid for an injunction to pause Metropolitan Police plans to force officers to declare their membership.

Listen to this article

Earlier this month, the bodies representing Freemasons in England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands took the first step to bring legal action over the force’s decision at the High Court.

The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), also acting on behalf of The Order of Women Freemasons and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons, said the move is discriminatory against Freemasons.

Earlier in December, the Met announced that membership of the Freemasons would be added to its declarable associations policy along with other “hierarchical organisations”.

Surveillance and the obstruction of communications began again.

The screenshot above shows a video I recorded in a pub after three men followed me when I returned from Spain. These three men sat separately but it was clear they knew each other. At the time, I was on WhatsApp with my friend Gus, who lives in Brazil. Suddenly, my phone sent me an old message that Gus and I had exchanged months earlier. I asked Gus if he had just sent me pictures of him feeding the seagulls off his balcony, to which he responded that he hadn’t. It was then that I mentioned the three men who were following me, and Gus said, "It’s them breaking into your phone now."

I then decided to walk around the bar while filming the three men. Despite sitting separately, they all got up and left together, as seen in the video. The peculiar thing is that it was early in the morning, around 11:00 AM, and no one else was drinking at the bar at that time.

This experience was unsettling, as it felt like these men were intentionally tracking or monitoring me, especially considering the strange behaviour with my phone. It’s something I documented to make sure the situation was properly recorded. I reported this to Surrey police.

The man in the video is a police officer who works for the Metropolitan Police, and his name is Warren. Ever since I moved to this town, I’ve noticed he appears everywhere I go. I switched pubs, and so did he. Out of curiosity, I asked him if he worked for the Metropolitan Police and why he couldn’t help me with my concerns. He denied it, stating that he didn’t work for the Met. However, a TikTok video by a police auditor later showed otherwise, confirming his affiliation with the Metropolitan Police.

The screenshot above was the video where TP67 was exposed for working for the Metropolitan police but the video has now been removed from TikTok, the officers names was Warren Dempsey.

This has raised significant concerns for me, especially given the pattern of his presence and the unusual interactions. It’s something I’m continuing to keep track of, considering the possible implications.

The man above was clearly a Metropolitan Police officer. I first noticed him when he came out of a dead-end road and began following me near the park. I let him get ahead of me for a while, but then he crossed the road and tried to get behind me. I stopped to observe, and he ended up going around in circles before eventually leaving after I took his picture.

This encounter occurred the very next day after Surrey Police confirmed they had sent my requests for an Interpol request to the Metropolitan Police. The timing of these events only added to my suspicions regarding the situation and the apparent surveillance I’ve been under.

This only occurs when I am in the offshore islands, yet it has happened several times while I’ve been in the UK and for the public record I have never been to Guernsey yet but have traced a bank account and trusts to the island via the impostor trustee.

JWD enlisted in the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1939 to serve his country. Over the course of his service, he attained the rank of Squadron Leader and was assigned to the Administrative and Special Duties Branch, which operates as the RAF intelligence unit.

Thank you for reading. And believe me when I say that what I have just put into the public domain is only the tip of the iceberg. What comes next may well cover the linked murders, but at this stage I prefer to set out the full catalogue of lawyers’ crimes — the charges I have identified, the fraudulent acts, and the specific criminal offences they correspond to.

The next post will contain the recommended charge sheets.

Have a nice day.
