Overweight. Facial image available on his blog. Is known to carry semi-legal dyes and the such, and wears Kevlar body armour. Lives in the Eastwood, Heanor, Ilkeston box as he visits his elderly mother and often has to report to local police. Has a form of PTSD after ONE incident, an attack on a drunken night out over twenty years ago which he harps on and on about. Google 'Tomlin + Particularly horrific attack' and see the reams of self-centred crap pour out of the internet... thousands and thousands of web-pages. Not known to drive and so uses buses and coaches, stays out of cities such as Nottingham. When visiting London uses National Express and stays in Russian-owned hotel in Pimlico. Very pro-Russian to the point of being a traitor and feeding their Embassy documents (probably about a 'particularly horrific attack' on a wannabe spy over twenty years ago). Uses a series of scruffy digs and bail hostels, changes his phone often, runs a one man band, News Alliance, where he writes as if he has a large staff, 'Our Editor vows never to be silenced...' That sort of thing. Smokes roll-ups, carries cheap spy cameras, records all his phone conversations. Massively, massively paranoid... or maybe everybody who knows him hates him? Has targeted all sorts of people, from your good self, to me (I was at school with the gimp, re-established comms with the power of the internet, met up with him... and then the calls started until I couldn't be arsed to listen to him drone on, so I was on the trolling list), ex-girlfriends, police anti-corruption campaigners, the local police themselves, the Security Service, and even Colin Gunn. Maybe Colin Gunn's friends might see this message and then Google 'Simon Tomlin' + 'Gunn'. If that happens, and Mr Gunn learns of Mr Smith/Tomlin's trolling activities, then I'll be quoting Windsor Davies:<br /> 'Oh Dear, what a pity, never mind.' neil2445https://www.blogger.com/profile/08054182680050832385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955273524757178757.post-54504968564087351022014-10-01T20:30:54.143+02:002014-10-01T20:30:54.143+02:00Hi Eben, I'm sorry to dredge up such an old en...Hi Eben, I'm sorry to dredge up such an old entry in your blog which I do enjoy by the way. I stumbled over this Simon Tomlin's blog the other day, and your comments above about barely contained hysteria and the fact that he really doesnt like it when someone disagrees with him, drew a chuckle from me. He deleted my comments except the one that he happened to agree with. <br /><br />His blog seems more about threatening people he doesn't like with MI 6 investigation and drone strikes for "being anti British" then about any actual semblance of journalism. <br />All this while demonstrating a distinct hatred of South Africans in general. He really acts like a spoilt petulant little child with his "my Special Forces are better than yours, and I'll tell my mother if you're nasty to me attitude". Maybe it comes from being a mommys boy growing up on a little island where the sun never shines pining for its long dead empire. The last comments by C Rehill were quite interesting and if verified would shed quite a lot of light on Simon Tomlin's mentality.Die Stoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551841775927975257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955273524757178757.post-5839335216118876652014-06-17T18:08:50.087+02:002014-06-17T18:08:50.087+02:00Thank you, C Rehill.

I always thought that journalists had a responsibility to write the truth in an objective manner and allow the reader to make an informed decision. Apparently I was wrong.<br /><br />I got a message via Airborne Riders which stated: “Breach is the biggest B-S’er you can find. He was nowhere near being a parabat, Recce, EO or 32 Battalion. He was a dog handler working for Cape Town City Council deployment department during the 80’s...NO one knows him other than being a doggi (dog handler)”.

He is a twat and why did you fall for his drivel in the first place? Hit man for a Cape Flats gang! What next?<br /><br />What have you done that your own police wont protect you? Have you recently annoyed them with fantasmagorical claims that they have basically told you to sort your own problems out? That is what it looks like. <br /><br />Look at the picture you have of this clown and decide whether you wrote yourself into the mess you are in? Circling in yellow the fact that he read Eebens book no more makes him associated with EO than reading a book on Mars makes him a martian! That was lazy, desperate and at best grasping at straws. If there is no book number for him then he DID NOT work for EO in any capacity at all. Even i have a book number and all i did was put fuel in the planes! My book number was 32 and that can be confirmed by Eeben Barlow and Simon Witherspoon.<br /><br />The overiding emotion i pick up from your piece above is that you are scared witless and feel you have to openly publish as much as you can in the event that this "mad dog" mampara offs you, or worse leaves you with a really sore bottom because as you wrote he is also known as the bum bandit and if he gets his mitts on you he is likely to show you just how much of a "hot date" he is. <br /><br />Any man who runs amok threatening to anally rape his enemies is ,, well,, an arse hole.<br />Why then the tirade and unhinged attack on Eeben, Simon and the rest of us South Africans?<br /><br />It is unfortunate that you have for some reason irked this wally and you are now in his cross hairs but attacking everyone else is not helping you any.<br /><br />MikeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008570891301616458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955273524757178757.post-64207162507653968122012-09-07T08:09:57.912+02:002012-09-07T08:09:57.912+02:00 I posted this comment Simon`s blog page.

I know you will use this little oversight to drive home some sort of factoid about us miserable South Africans.<br /><br />Why is it such a problem to you that ex EO employees use a pseudonym? I am sure many ex British military men also use email addresses that afford them anonymity to a degree. Going on about Simon`s email address is nonsensical at best. If he chose to call himself Simon Says at wollybully dot com i do not see a problem with that, why would you???? <br /><br />There just seems to be a lot of animosity flying about and it is totally unnecessary. You question why no one came forward earlier to shoot down Simon Breach as an OBVIOUS poser, the answer to that is simple. There are so many strokers out there that a full time employee would have to be employed to out these goof balls and besides why bother really as it merely feeds their tiny ego`s anyway. You have really gone over the bounds of any kind of journalistic integrity with your diatribe and openly hostile animosity toward South Africans, the old SADF and EO.
