This is a statement published personally by Paul Golding:

---

Fellow patriots,

Mothin Ali is a Green Party councillor in Harehills, Leeds.

He rose to fame last summer by screaming 'Allahu Akbar' into media cameras after being elected as a local councillor.

He is a notorious pro-Palestine activist and regularly poses with the Palestinian flag.

Ali is also an expert on Sharia Law.

Ali also apologised after he was criticised for calling his local election victory a 'win for the people of Gaza'.

'We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!' he screeched after his election victory.

Tellingly, Ali was a supporter of the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, but he defected to the Greens when Keir Starmer took over and took on the left-wing anti-semites.

Ali, who was elected to Leeds city council, called Leeds University's Jewish chaplain, Zecharia Deutsch, a 'kind of animal', 'creep', 'absolute low-life', 'absolutely disgusting' and 'shameful'.

Ali falsely claimed the Rabbi had tried to kill women and children in Gaza after temporarily returning to his IDF unit after the October 7 terror attack.

The rabbi and his wife and children were all forced into hiding after receiving an avalanche of threats from Islamists.

Ali described Israelis as 'white supremacists', even though they are a Semitic people from the Middle East.

He said, in a bizarre post on X, 'White supremacist European settler colonialism must end!' even though the Jews are not white Europeans.

All the information above is publicly available in mainstream media articles.

In my opinion, Mothin Ali is a disgusting scumbag, in every way.

If I held the reigns of power in this country, he would be deported from this country immediately.

Anyhow, let's get down to the breaking news:

Mothin Ali is threatening to sue me personally for defamation/libel!

Ali is claiming that I libelled him by posting on X saying that he was present at the riots in Harehills in Leeds, which he was.

Here is a pic taken from the left-wing Guardian newspaper clearly showing that he was present:

I did not claim in my X post that he involved - or taking part - in the riots, only that he was present.

Ali is claiming that he has suffered 'serious reputational harm', also 'harm, upset, distress and embarrassment'.

Ali is claiming that my post stating that he on the scene when the riots took place has caused him 'psychiatric damage' (I kid you not).

I completely fail to see how a single post on X stating that he was present at the Harehill riots (which he was) can possibly cause him serious reputational harm, upset, distress, embarrassment and psychiatric damage!

To avoid legal proceedings in the High Court, Mothin Ali has demanded the following from me:

1. A grovelling statement apologising to him,

2. Damages to be paid within 7 days,

3. An undertaking not to repeat the claims that he was present at the scene of the riots (which he was),

4. Immediate payment of Ali's legal costs to date, currently at £4,000 plus VAT.

If I don't agree to these outrageous demands, then they promise they will launch legal proceedings against me for defamation/libel in the High Court.

If they launch legal action against me, then they will seek an injunction against me, legal costs, force me to read a grovelling statement in court, and I will have to pay massive damages.

I must admit that I am shocked at the sheer cheek of this crazy Islamic oddball!

If he thinks I will capitulate, grovel to him, apologise to him, then pay him 'damages', he must be smoking Class A drugs, because that will never happen, ever.

I would rather burn myself alive using petrol than surrender to this Allahu Akbar shouting weirdo!

I have said nothing wrong.

I posted on X saying that he was 'spotted' at the scene during the immigrant riots in Harehills, in Leeds, which he was.

In no world could that be considered 'libel', I was simply stating a widely reported fact.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of posts on social media that said exactly the same as I did, yet he is targeting me specifically, because I am the co-leader of the largest and strongest patriotic political party.

I would rather die than capitulate to this radical Islamic extremist!

I am determined to fight this case to the death in the High Court on a matter of principle.

I am sure you agree with me that I cannot - and should not - surrender to this scumbag's demands, just for an easy life!

This is almost a replay of the legal threats I received from the new Islamic owners of a historic Christian church in Stoke-on-Trent, all because I spoke the truth, saying that the English gravestones were being desecrated and removed as part of the church's conversion to a mosque.

The sad truth is that these Islamic extremists know that our courts are run by woke, lefty judges, who are on their side.

But I will not bow down to this Muslim, not now, not ever.

It would be a betrayal of my entire 25-year career if I grovelled to this Muslim.

No, the die is cast, I am going to fight him to the bitter end.

I will not surrender under any circumstances.

All I need to know is that my supporters are behind me 100% as I stand my ground and mount a legal fightback.

Will you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me as I battle against this extremist?

I need to know you have my back.

If you do, I can stand my ground and not budge an inch.

Right now, I have been instructed by my legal representatives to get funds together, as all legal matters cost money.

I am hoping you will contribute to my legal fighting fund.

Mothin Ali will be well-funded by our enemies, believe me.

He is most certainly hoping I cannot fight back and I will be forced to surrender to his demands!

That's why I need your urgent support.

Time is off the essence, as they have given me till 1 May to respond.

Please remember, every penny counts:
