British Dean, UK based troll, serial abuser, nonce, misogynist, and a bigot.
British Dean (real name believed to be Dean Aaron Podesta - and is known to local police in his country) is a notable troll from the UK (from Plymouth as shown below in the embedded tweet), known for harassing others on Twitter, including underage girls, being an extremely racist and an abusive person, adding people to offensive lists and getting banned time and time again. Asides from convicted stalker Nicky Wright, RIP troll Sean Duffy, Jamie Lawlcard, and other notable UK trolls, he is one of UK's worst notable online trolls, especially on Twitter.
He also sometimes goes by the persona "Mel Gibson" followed by a numeric code (as seen in the screenshots below in the embedded tweet).

I am surprised that Dean from Plymouth is so reckless about the law (given he is not an anonymous overseas user like many of his allies). He has deleted one tweet after I mentioned that risk. pic.twitter.com/2pK8oU7ihF

This is what British Dean's accounts generally look like - note the profile picture, which he uses in his main British Dean persona. It is unclear if this is him or if it is a stolen picture of an innocent person.
Note that the Mel Gibson Fan account above in the screenshot featuring the moon man, which, according to the ADL is a hate symbol.

We have archived his Gab account - and one of his Twitter accounts as an example of just how vile he is. The gab one can be viewed here, and the Twitter one can be viewed here.
Dean had made this malicious post against me on GAB, wishing that I die in a horrible way. I have reported his post to both NZ and the UK police.
Here are some of the incredibly vile things he posts...
UPDATE: 25/11/2021
Misogyny and horrific abuse and racism can be seen on his timeline.

British Dean creates a new account. Abuse and harassment takes of on the account as usual. Also, he adds me to an abusive list. I have blocked him and reported his list to Twitter.

He also brags about using SIM cards to get around bans.
He also spreads misinformation, and is an anti vaxxer. No surprises there, then.
@BritishdeanV74 changes to @MelgibsonfanUK. He carries on with his abuse.
Twitter deleted both his accounts. That was quick! But, sadly, knowing him - he will be like Pebbles Hooper, KYE and others that we mention in this blog that are known for ban evasions, he will no doubt be back.
UPDATE: 7/12/2021
British Dean makes a new account, and adds me to a racist and a threatening list.

With @MelgibsonfakUK2 changing to @BritishDean22 - then getting suspended - two new accounts appear.
UPDATE: December 14th
Dean makes a mockery of the pride flag, and combines four of them together to turn it into something hateful - the Nazi Swastika.

Is Dean on Gab?
Yes, he is! Abuse and harassment carries on in Gab, but Gab is a haven for bigots and Nazis - they do not care about him being on there harassing people. And neither do they take action on hate speech. Also note that he has included my website's page link - to this page about him - on Gab.
This highlights the need for platforms like Gab to be regulated by governments all over the world.

New account created. Abuse and harassment takes off on that one, which is typical of British Dean.

He starts of the N word tower chain as seen here.
UPDATE: 30/01/2022
Dean says he has covid.
Dean says he has covid.
Despite this, he goes to the pharmacy without being vaccinated. He doesn't wear a mask either, and has finished the statement off with "No surrender".
This is not just reckless and irresponsible, but he may be breaking the law as he is endangering others.

British Dean makes a threat against Indian people on Gab.

This almost certainly breaks the law. We may notify the police about this threat.
UPDATE: 25/02/2022
Dean makes a new account. This time, he pretends to be a Kremlin/Russian troop fan. This is a far cry from his usual "British Patriot" and "God save the queen" accounts. This is also the epitome of irony as he claims to be patriotic to Britain.

British Dean makes a direct threat towards Sunder Katwala and the people who are involved in reporting him (myself included).

And again, Dean confuses "cyberstalking" with "us documenting him and his hateful and abusive behavior online". The archive of the threat can be viewed here.
UPDATE: 17/05/2022
New Dean account created. The same old abuse, harassment and stalking can be seen on his account. As usual, he targets and harasses Sunder Katwala - and anyone else who calls for Dean to be banned.

He adds me to a list on my @clampdownonhate account, but blocks me on my personal account. It is unclear how he managed to find my personal, but better being blocked than being added to an abusive list.
Update - his account in question has now been suspended.
UPDATE: 18/05/2022
Dean makes a post on Gab. In it, he says he's not a stalker - despite him continuing to stalk Sunder and others. He also adds a screenshot of my site.

Dean is a stalker as he has continued his harassment on Sunder Katwala as Dean's interactions are being reported and marked as unwelcome and abusive.
UPDATE: 15/06/2022
Dean makes a move on Twitter that isn't the brightest. The screenshot could be of some use to the UK police...

This will incriminate him further, especially when the law catches up with him. The link in the screenshot goes back to this very page on this website as indicated below, in my embedded tweet.
British Dean has now deleted this tweet - but the fact that he linked my site's page on him will incriminate him further.

Dean is clearly not very bright.https://t.co/xDutZiEOIx pic.twitter.com/XgXXWtYSTb

Dean arrested. Not a surprise, given his increasingly violent, hateful and abusive content.

Dean thinks he is unstoppable - and that the interview he had was funny. Not for long, Dean.
UPDATE: 26/06/2022
Dean stated that he had ran over a feminist. It is extremely clear that his behavior on social media has escalated from being abusive and a nuisance to downright hateful and threatening. Also, in a separate post before that, he makes a racially abusive comment about Serena Williams.

It seems that GAB gives trolls like him a platform to threaten to kill others, or glorify violence.

British Dean's last gab post was on the 5th of July. There have been no new Twitter or other social media accounts that we are aware of. It could be that Dean has finally been banned from social media, or that he could be in custody for online offences, or that he is aware that we are watching him, so he could have hidden accounts on Twitter and Gab that we are not aware of. Anyway, good riddance, one online pest and a bigot removed, hopefully it stays this way.
If there are any new social media accounts by him, please let me know.

UPDATE: August 2022
Dean starts a new Gab account, even after being arrested and bailed.
Note the "88" numeric figure is a reference to Hitler.
