James Harvey (Activist)
James William Frank Harvey (born 20th May 2003), is a Welsh far-right, anti-vax, anti-lockdown activist. He is the founder of Students Against Tyranny, a part-time reporter for Voice of Wales, and a full-time student studying Film & TV at the University of Wales, Trinity St Davids in Swansea.
James Harvey first appeared around a year ago after doing an interview with former BBC employee, Anna Brees,[1] This interview went viral with multiple people and other far-right activists sharing it, leading it to have well over two million views. James quickly jumped on this opportunity and used it to his advantage by launching a crowdfund 2 weeks later, on September 5th 2021. James claimed this would be to create a "platform to connect like-minded students/young people so they don't feel so alone and isolated in their beliefs and can #holdtheline against taking the jab." [2] This also went viral, with the crowdfund reaching the goal of 10k in just three weeks.[3]
There are also reports that James is somehow involved with the planning of the Cardiff protests, however, this has not been verified.
On the 13th September 2021, after seeing his success, UNN (Unity News Network) anchor, David Clews, arranged for James to come on his live stream to do an interview about his plans for Students Against Tyranny. In the live stream, one of those plans discussed was to have Student Representatives, an idea which, for the most part, they have succeeded in.[4] Students Against Tyranny have so far got 47 Student Reps in universities stretched across the UK.[5] Not too long after this, an article was written about James by Wales Online, though they didn't mention him by name. The article was titled "University of Wales Trinity Saint David's warns that students spreading Covid misinformation could face disciplinary action".[6] The article states that the first year student has started a group "urging those aged between 15-21 to not get jabbed" and that the university "condemns" the actions of this student and that people should get "vaccinated." James later responded to this article by saying that he's not "antivax" and that he's instead "pro medical choice."
On the 23rd September 2021, James went on Voice of Wales' live stream with Kalial. In this live stream, they discussed the prior article from Wales Online and they questioned whether Covid is a real thing.[7] Two days later, on September 25th James gave a speech in London at one of their protests. [8] A couple weeks later on October 2nd, 2021, James organised a so-called "freedom march" up Swansea, which saw roughly 80 people in attendance. This led to yet another article being written on the young man. [9]
On October 20th 2021, James was asked to join Voice of Wales and become a part-time reporter, under the condition that his priority is Students Against Tyranny. James agreed and it was announced over Telegram. James has since worked as a reporter for Voice of Wales, and has done many videos ranging from the DVLA strikes, to discrimination, to Remeeces Music Video "BOOSTAH".
Furthermore, October 24th 2021, James gave a speech alongside Dr Kevin Corbett and David Clews in Llandudno at a rally organised by NoMoreLockdowns. In December 2021, an article was published in the light paper by James [10]
James keeps stating, whether that's on Twitter or Telegram, that he's got big plans for the future. Most are waiting in anticipation of what that is.
