Most of you will know me. For those who don’t, I am Peter Rushton, assistant editor of the magazine Heritage and Destiny and author of the new Real History blog at the link below. I have been involved on the UK political scene for more than thirty years (as a writer, speaker, election agent and many other capacities) and my main focus now, as will be seen with the ongoing development of the blog, is to take historical revisionism into new areas and levels, with the aid of newly released and newly discovered documentary evidence.
My recent articles below refer to the case of Vincent Reynouard, the great revisionist scholar who was arrested in Scotland last Thursday and is now imprisoned awaiting extradition.
I have learned that his present address for correspondence is:
Mr. Vincent REYNOUARDPrisoner Number 160071
HMP Edinburgh
Scottish Prison Service
33 Stenhouse Road
EH11 3LNEDINBURGHScotland
United Kingdom
Please bear in mind that Vincent faces an extradition hearing on 24th November. It is entirely possible that the whole process will be expedited, so especially if you are writing from outside the United Kingdom, this might mean that he has already left the UK by the time your letter arrives.
Please also bear in mind the following excerpt from regulations regarding letters to UK prisoners
You can write to an individual in custody as often as you like and there is not usually any restriction on the number of letters they can receive. When you write, remember to put the person’s prison number and name on the letter. Your family member/friend can write back to you and will be allowed to send one free letter each week. If they want to write more often they can, but will have to pay for the postage themselves.
From 13 December 2021, new legislation will come into force which may impact on correspondence you are sending to your loved one. The legislation provides Prison Officers and employees with powers to photocopy the correspondence. The individual in custody can be provided with the photocopy and the original correspondence retained and either returned to them on release or destroyed with their consent. In regards to confidentiality, the Prison Rules and Directions remain unchanged. Prison Officers and staff are not routinely able to read correspondence.
Photographs and cards are considered as general correspondence. Governor’s will have discretion to decide how these should be managed locally. Consideration should be given in the first instance to testing all cards and photographs using the Rapiscan Itemiser drug detection machine and issuing the original copies.
Further updates on Vincent’s case will be posted to the Real History blog. For those of you have Twitter accounts, the issue is being quite widely discussed there and I have been posting regularly in reply to Scottish journalists and others. The whole matter is potentially giving revisionism very wide publicity in the UK.
Best wishes
