Congratulations Paul. I was delighted to read this good news yesterday. Justice and free speech have prevailed thanks to your persistence, commitment and integrity.

The Left has no shame, tolerance or wisdom.

Also, to add, would be interesting to see how many years, decades go by before these EU supporting idiots give up.

I’ve read your excellent book, Despised, why the modern left despise the working class, and your experience with the FBU is a good example of why the left has become a cult that shuts down anyone who thinks and talks against the party line.

Excellent news.
I wonder, did you get compensation?

A rare triumph over the thugs that too often manage the Herd. Without the likes of Paul Embery to challenge them we are all diminished. Thanks you had the opportunity; and that you did. And that we can read about it too.

Paul, my wife and I greatly enjoy your writing and have huge admiration for the fight that you have fought. Well done indeed.

The left needs people like you more than ever right now, due to the rapid and continuing descent into babbling insanity by the “illiberal liberals”.

There is a need to name and shame the officials involved, and, if they are elected, campaign against them, defeat them, and run them out of town. If they are not, de-select the elected officials who protect them.

Well done Paul – in 1978 I was a trade union representative in an engineering company which was a very interesting and rewarding experience even though on one occasion it unfortunately involved a short strike. You hit it on the head in saying that your job is to represent and support the members, which in the case of the FBU also benefits the public. Perhaps as some rise up the union hierachy there is a tendency to forget that and become a political animal?

Wasn’t our movement supposed to defend the principles of free speech and the right to dissent?

No. It was supposed to empower union thugs at the expense of everybody else. Unions have generally only ever defended free speech with which they agreed, and the “right to dissent” from opinions with which they did not. They only behave as they did here when they expect to get away with it. Scargill organised armies of murderous thugs in the 1980s so he could do the same thing.
Unions are all about the abuse of power in pursuit of personal greed at the expense of consumers. London Tube drivers are paid £60,000 a year for a part time job because if they don’t get what they want, they can abuse commuters and the economy.

Excellent news, Paul! Keep up the good work on Unherd & GBN, I always enjoy your work. I’m decidedly right-wing but also proud to be a floating voter, and will never vote merely along tribal lines. I have several times remarked that more people like yourself in the Labour party might persuade me to vote for them. Sadly a long way off, so I shall just have to stick with Boris as the lesser of two evils!

Well if you won’t be celebrating then allow me to do it for you.
The implications had you lost were far-reaching and alarming.
And you represented yourself against a distinguished QC?
Brilliant.

Wonderful to hear this!!!

Well done

I really enjoy your contributions on GB News. The best of British to you.

This is a difficult comment to write and a bit (?) left of field. Even though I am an immigrant and non-white, I am starting to think .. about melting pots. I don’t want one homogenous melted pot world any more than I want only one color or only one type of food. Some diversity is good and interesting and too much starts to infiltrate into and alter the core of a culture. Sometimes this is good but it is certainly not always for the best. So selfishly, I have to say I would be quite dejected .. miserable even .. in a world without the British being British. I enjoyed visiting pubs in the UK with British people behind the bar. I liked visiting Europe and being able to go to a country without man purses. Simple joys. Not even mentioning the humor, books, music, TV shows, people. In fact, I forgive them for the whole taking over the world business. I enjoy seeing and knowing that Britain and British culture is preserved just the same way as I like knowing some national park or monument or treasure preserved even if I never get to visit it. Yes, I know Brexit is a lot more complicated than this. But whatever you guys do – stay British pretty please 🙂

Just shows how divisive and repressive the unions are.

This means there is hope and sometimes the justice system does work which makes it possible to have a democracy and a prospering society with a diversity of views necessary for progress and chances for all. Sadly in this process some will suffer along the way.
Things only change when new generations push out the ‘old farts’ who will use all the tricks to cling to their power.
….because the comments seem to come from anti-europe views here, I cannot help to throw this one in: Note…. I am pro-Europe… brexit has helped europe to mature a little. There is still much to do to better Europe and Britain could have played a big role there (sorry to see you go…) I do some lobbying in Europe to improve medicine (get away from the ‘industry of illness view’ to change to a ‘pursuing health point of view’) and I can see that the underlying narrative in Europe is strongly aimed in that direction, although ‘they’ do not know how to do it yet. This change should reduce the power of the industry lobby and be positive for all: better quality of life for all (really all). I hope Britain will take part in this change because medicine (in the very broad view) is in a very bad way…
