Grab yourself a coffee sit back and read with astonishment.
The Paintballer
First appeared on the scene in February 2011 (i.e. 9 months ago) when a user on P8 called 'Dave67' posted a flaming thread against Rich Harris and Asylum Paintball (
http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?143182-Ote-mercs ).
Dave67 only ever posted once - was never seen of again.
However, on page two of the same thread (
http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?143182-Ote-mercs/page2 ) someone called David Jack appeared from the same team as 'Dave67' to apologise for his team mates comments. hmmm.
Within 2 months, the same David Jack posted in the same thread to say that his team had fallen out with OTE in Congleton and were now rebranded as the Pheonix Mercs. There is some wild accusation that OTE in Congleton had stolen his team name. An inauspicious start!
On another thread on P8, he claims that his team have been playing NvS for 10 years, yet elsewhere he states that the team has only been around for 2 years.
Now lets get into to some juicy stuff:
Away from paintball land, this is what David Jack claims about his paintball career (posted in a politics blog to explain why he was no longer running as an MP):
David Jack said:
world series paintball is up this summer and theres also a few tournaments in France and Sweden i wan to play in too - it never sat well with Cowley street that i was a serious painball player - and lets be honest the money in painball world series is much higher and more attractive than an MPs wage in any event!
The Racist
David Jack was a PPC (Parlimentary Party Candidate) for the Liberal Democrat Party - bascially, he was running to become an MP at Westminster. His political career ended when he was accused of sending a racist email to someone he was in a dispute with. (

David Jack said:
...if I was you I would f*** back off to the hills of tora borro (sic), I have your home address, you are f***** sunshine, we shall see who has got balls now you two faced lying f****** paki... your cards f*****... prison awaits you b** boy. Think your (sic) brave, you don't know the line you have crossed you f*** witt (sic) - keep looking over you shoulder theif!
David's defence against the accusation was another wild theory that he is about to reveal a multimillion pound fraud by local businessmen and they had hacked his email in an attempt to smear him.
However, many people on political blog sites did not swallow this, because they had been the recipient of similar attacks from David Jack over quite a long period:
Shaun Bennett said:
I have been saying for a good many months now that I thought he was an unsuitable candidate. This was due to his behaviour on this forum and his consistant abuse of political opponents. He has spread vicious lies about me, my private life and my family; he has used abusive words to describe me; he has consistantly been a thoroughly nasty candidate. Indeed, this only stopped over a month ago.
So I don't know whether David has done the things of which he is now accused. We may well find that he has not. But his past behaviour does support the allegaton against him and given the words he has used in the past on this forum against me in particular, I think that many will easily be able to believe that the allegation is true.
As I said above, I'm very sorry that David is no longer the candidate. I thought he damaged the Lib Dems and I wanted to see him on election night when he came third. Another candidate may put up a better fight for the Lib Dems-and I'm sorry about that too.
George K Harvey said:
Exactly the man's a prat. He was a prat before these allegations and he'll remain a prat after they are proved or disproved. I think he's quite an objectionable, childish fellow, I'd much rather choose to believe the worst, even though... if I'm being really honest with myself, I don't really believe it was him either.
Mr Truth said:
Read DJs
Scam.com posts and then make up you're own mind about whether he sent this email. Although some of his older, drunken, rants are now removed there are still a few gems.
I don't know many other people who are so bad at spelling and grammar(perhaps when slighlty tipsy) It's not very often you come across someone who enjoys using the phrase 'f*ck wit' in type so liberally. A coincidence I think not. His fingerprints are all over this one.
I'm sure the BNP will be happy to have him though.

It's not clear to me how good an MP David Jack might have made, but I await with interest the results of the investigation into his email account. It is fairly easy to show if his email address was merely spoofed. It's a bit trickier to prove if someone actually managed to hack into his account and genuinely sent the mail from David Jack's account.
I'm sorry to say that my common sense is leading me to believe that most likely neither of these scenarios happened, simply because a quick google indicates that Mr Jack can't control himself, and likes to swear at people and call them names, between his more sensible arguments. His opinion:
'sorry i wasnt born with a silver spoon in my mouth, whats wrong with words like arse, bull ****, crap ect? its real english as far as i am concerned and understood by anyone and everyone, except those that really dont know their arse from their elbows because they are so full of crap that they think the rest of us will take their bull****...????'
The supposed quotes from his offensive email looks very much like a more extreme version of his normal, more public posts, right down to the mistakes. Doesn't look good. Lib Dems may have had a narrow escape from a more serious embarrassment.
There's a terrible 'armchair warrior' culture whereby people hide behind their keyboards and think its acceptable to use language to abuse others that they would think twice about if they actually were down the pub. It's also amazing how otherwise intelligent people constantly seem to mess up through not properly considering how the internet works.

David Jack.....still around???
They ought to lock you up mate, what a drunken plonker
In fact, even David's claims that he was busting open a fraud have been called into question:
Another on of David's victims said:
How can you be exposing a scam that has been on the OFT website for six months, you were trying to claim credit for work the OFT has already done and failed to follow up because there is no scam.
I wish you all the best in court and hope you are not wanting or hoping for the OFT to back you up as they will not, they are the subject of court action themselves on this issue.
Hacking is easy to prove and as it was a Lib Dems email account it will take them 10 minutes to check the IP address of all emails sent from that account, or will you claim next week your wireless braodband account was also hacked with 128 bit encryption. Just admit you got things wrong, as we all do and move on, life is as hard or as easy as you make it.
We all never stop going up that's why its called growing up, so David GROW UP! give us all at least one thing to respect you for.
So wild claims of fraud and a nasty approach to engaging with people is something that was going on well before he came to paintball and decided to unmask the fraud of Support for Soldiers etc.
The Anti-Semite
David Jack said:
Whilst never agreeing in entirity with anything the BNP stand for or say, i do have to say that this holocust drival has raged on for years and anyone who says anything that doesnt fit with the Jewish version of events is labelled anti semit and so on.
When i was at school we were taught that 3 million Jews were annihalated by Nazi's in the second world war, by the time my children had started school the figure was now around 5 million and finnaly today we have 6 million.
The truth is that millions of people died in WWII, not just jews, so why do we give them such credance of place? What makes them such a hard done to peoples?
And as for the holocust, i can honestly say it never took place, read the definition of Holocust, the four horsemen of the apocolypse and all that. The truth is that a section of society in Europe who happened to be jewish were put to death in the most horrid of circumstances and this is the lesson that we have to learn to make sure it never happens again.

The sexist
Referring to Tory female candidate:
David Jack said:
]It's not me vote i'd give her!!!
Certainly would put something in her ballot box though!!!
Wouldnt mind seeing her manifesto!
PMSL!!!
To be honest, there is so much objectionable stuff on the web about this guy that I'm just going to leave it here or it could take all day.
The central point I'm making with this info is that this Jack guy is a liar, racist, anti-semite, homophobic, sexist bigot who lies about his paintball 'career' outside of paintball and claims to earn a fortune playing in the paintball 'World Series'.He’s not far off what is known as a troll and this recent stuff about a conspiracy and fraud with s4s is bang in line with claims that he’s made about other things outside of paintball in the past. Seems like him and that Jamie guy have it in for Tim and s4s is what they are using. Interesting that both are directly tied to another event organiser. Just saying.
So, there you have it, the David Jack files.........and edited tour. For anyone interested, here are the sources, there is plenty more out there about him:
