| Did the apparent suicide of his mother turn Satan Hunter Matt Taylor in to the monster that he is today? |
Matt Taylor of Brighton UK is one of the more colourful of the Satan Hunters, happy to promote and support his fellow Satan Hunters regardless of what they have done. Taylor has a notorious reputation both in his local community and online for being crazy and creepy. He might be one moment standing for parliament with a promise of sacking the Queen in favour of a mad Maori fraud from New Zealand or the next moment being investigated for indecent images of children. He seems to attract the constant attention of the police, from stalking women to his activities with boys in a local woodland.
There has been a great deal of speculation online asking if Matt Taylor had served in the army, and why he apparently had been booted out. The speculation forced Matt Taylor to publish photos of himself in the army, which caused me to start digging around. What I uncovered confirms that Matt Taylor served in the army, why he was booted out, and why he is probably the disturbed man he is today.
The creepy video about the “murder” of Matt Taylor’s mum
A YouTuber published a creepy video that Matt Taylor made: where he speaks about his mother being paranoid about him killing her; of her “suicide”; and the investigation by the Orkney police, who initially believed he had killed his mum. Of particular interest is that the video mentions that Taylor had been dishonourably discharged from the army, and had to abandon his mother in Orkney to travel back to England to sign his army discharge papers, shortly before his mother died in an apparent suicide. In one post Taylor had called his mother a “witch” and his father a “cult leader”.
Matt Taylor, his mum, and the loss of his military career
Newspaper articles and other information suggests that Matt Taylor served many years in the army, his chosen career, having passed his training, and probably served as a military policeman.
In 1998 Matt Taylor’s mother suffered a stroke that left her paralysed and in a wheelchair. In 2001 “the dregs of society” in Brighton was taking advantage of his mother and entering her home, leading to a fear her life was in danger. Matt Taylor, feeling that he had to do something about the dire situation his mother faced, made a fateful decision to go AWOL from the army. Both mother and son fled to Europe, travelling from country to country, suffering loss of their possessions and running out of money; they found their way to Orkney.
Matt Taylor was arrested in Orkney, and court-martialed for going AWOL from the army. Unlike in civilian life where an individual can immediately quit their job and nothing happens, this is different in the military, which comes under military law, where people literally sell their body and soul to serve Queen and Country for a fixed period of time. Matt Taylor was imprisoned at the military prison in Colchester known as the “Glasshouse“. After serving his sentence Taylor was demoted and dishonourably discharged from the army.
Whilst Matt Taylor was in military prison, the situation deteriorated for his mother in Orkney, facing eviction and homelessness. After being discharged, Taylor returned to Orkney, but then had to return back to England or face arrest, as he had not signed his military discharge papers. Taylor had an argument with his mother, and then returned back to England, when he was told his mother had died by an apparent sucide. The Orkney police initially suspected that Taylor had killed his mother, such was the sudden speed of his departure shortly before his mother was found dead. Nothing came of the investigation, and thus it is apparently considered to be suicide.
Conclusion
I think Matt Taylor was deeply attached to his mother, and faced a difficult situation of being trapped in his military role whilst his mother suffered an increasingly dangerous situation at home. Taylor made what was in the end a pointless and devastating choice to sacrifice his military career, savings and liberty to help his mum, which still ended in her death. It is probably not surprising that the years 2001/02 was the turning point that produced the sort of demented and twisted creature that we now find in Matt Taylor today.
Regardless of the tragedy, that must have deeply impacted Matt Taylor, there is no justification for the suffering and terror Taylor is inflicting upon his many victims, even upon innocent children. Taylor walks a dark road to his own destruction, and perhaps he needs to examine his own mind, in the manner he currently has been examining the minds of his victims: he attempts to form insight in to his behaviour; how his deeds are impacting the lives and minds of his victims; and then makes choices to become a better human being.
That’s a sad story. I don’t watch MA much but on the odd time I have, it’s crossed my mind his video-editing is decent. If he (MA) could get away from the conspiracy theory stuff and made videos about something else (even King Arthur) he might achieve something worthwhile.
Matt Taylor has talent in his video-editing, and I agree, if he put his skills to better use in a more positive direction, he and everyone will benefit. If he continues on the path he is currently walking, Matt Taylor will end up in jail.
I do follow him on YouTube but I rarely watch his videos but of the few I have seen he always claimed he was discharged from the army because he was caught smuggling drugs into the barracks, this thing with his mother is completely new to me.
I do not think Matt Taylor has been entirely truthful about his drugs matter. Cannabis would not normally get a soldier dishonourably discharged (discharged not dishonourably discharged) from the army; however, desertion / going AWOL is a serious matter that in former times would result in a soldier facing firing squad. The newspaper record suggests that Matt Taylor was dishonourably discharged for desertion.
That’s weird isn’t it? Most people wouldn’t want people to think they were thrown out for something bad (drugs) vs. something many would see as good- wanting to help their mum. It implies he wants to seem hard and not show vulnerability maybe.
Matt is, by nature, a very distrusting man. Having spoken to him live, it was clear he can hold a reasonably stable line which is interesting but that’s conflicted by his emotional psyche. If he could balance these two then I think he could be entertaining but he must address the past and be prepared to say ‘Sorry’ to those he knows we’re hurt by his actions. I don’t mean me, I mean others from the past. I don’t know if he’ll ever get to that point. I hope he does, it might close doors and open better ones. I don’t know.
I agree the past has clearly been extremely challenging and frankly, an emotional wrecking experience.
One thing is clear, the next move is his. I for one hope that’s a better and more positive one but that’s a long way ahead from now.
I often say that Satan Hunters are the agents of their own misfortune. What happens to Matt Taylor is down to the choices he makes going forward.
Sorry. He is MT not MA.
This kind of thing always makes me smile!!!
Satan Hunters are often the actors in their own dark tragic comedies.
I don’t see what’s amusing about it? It actually made me feel a faint glimmer of sympathy for this creep.
The blog post is serious and dark. If you are aware of the content that Matt Taylor puts out, of which he makes light of this, you will understand the context of comments made about this so-called comedian.
Ah ok lol suppose I’ll have to have a look.
Maybe I’m an optimist but does this story imply he’s a bit thick, bless him? I mean, I know it’s the 90s and the army, but I think there would be a way to get leave, or leave the army, without going AWOL. I suppose maybe it shows that he doesn’t think things through in a way which avoids pitfalls etc.
Matt Taylor has a habit of making choices that are self destructive in nature.
