I was aware of Daisy wanting to post this. Though I disagree with what she has done, I must add, in her defence, she meant no malice whatsoever.
Daisy is a dear lady....'old school', is the best way to describe her. She has an incredibly close family, including a most loving and supportive husband. The entire family where supportive of Daisy's desire to support a man with no family, who she felt was alone and in need of some genuine moral support, with no ties or complications. Her friendship with Jeremy was purely that. Unconditional.
She may have some wealth behind her and maybe Jeremy thought that Daisy's friendship may be of some serious use at a later date. Daisy was aware of this, however, she did not want to believe she was there solely for the money. She refused to think ill of Jeremy, even though her family had pointed out how he mentioned 'her' money to both her and the Campaign team on a few occasions.
What happened on 'that' particular visit was shocking to both Daisy and her husband....who was also with her. She was, as one can imagine, deeply hurt by this. Both she and her husband were upset by his actions that morning that a planned afternoon visit was cancelled by them.
Friendship, loyalty and family are at the core of the whole of Daisy's nearest and dearest. I suppose all she wanted to do was help a vulnerable young man who found himself fighting for his life....and justice.
In that, she has committed no crime, her actions and support were genuine.
The way some of you have attacked Daisy and her postings, is without justification and wholly unnecessary.
Daisy is old enough almost to be his mother.....you have spitefully attacked a harmless lady who meant no harm, other than to warn others who may be in the same position as she was, to be wary of him.
I have known Jeremy for over 20 years. Both his mental and emotional health have deteriorated (which is without judgement but a fact, due to his imprisonment and age).
Jeremy remains possibly one of the strongest men I have ever had the fortune to meet and I wish him no harm, ever. Not everybody who has had a relationship with Jeremy has spoken about it either.
Sadly, I do agree with Daisy on one point. Like her I believe he is innocent, always have....however, Jeremy has become a political prisoner upon which his release would bring the whole judicial system to its knees. It's not that he won't be released so much as he can't be released....and that is what Daisy meant also.
Having been through two Appeals with Jeremy, having had meetings with Euan Smith, having been fobbed off with him along with Jeremy whilst he was courted to the CCRC, as Commissioner leaves many unanswered questions.
Ask the right question and you may get the right answer.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
