The story so far...
Grandfather Gerald Holtom helps found CND movement and designs their famous logo.
Parents divorce – Age 5.
Mother locked in psychiatric hospital – Age 8.
Taken into care by social services – Age 10.
1984 - Father operated on without consent which created huge publicity which led to people being able to access their medical records.
1992 - Locked in a psychiatric hospital for 5 weeks.
1999 - Post-mortem performed on mother without permission which led to taking the coroner to the high court and setting a legal precedent.
2nd wife’s death in 2000 was exacerbated by bureaucratic incompetence.
Sold his business in 2002 and has since risked every penny he ever made to make a difference.
Suffered a minor stroke in 2005 and then made an amazing recovery.
Now runs a number of companies which free people’s minds and helps people achieve their dreams and experience amazing creativity.
Daily fights battles with call centres, automated phone systems, political correctness, bad service, incompetence and bull****.
Possibly the most challenging and opinionated man in the world, Jeremy has had a life full of extraordinary events and experiences.
In 2000 he supported the petrol dispute and donated £1000 to help the protest.
In 2001 he donated £5000 to the cause of the Metric Martyrs (people prepared to go to prison to stand up against bureaucracy).
Also in 2000, following the death of his mother, he took a coroner to the high court, won his case and set a legal precedent.
He has been outspoken in various TV debate shows including Kilroy and Central Weekend and in 2004 was featured in a BBC2 documentary entitled Notorious.
Recently he has been featured on several programmes about the collapse of MG Rover.
He is in a rock band called Six Foot Under and has recorded several albums personally. His band Six Foot Under’s latest album, “The Descent†is scheduled for release in 2008.
