Mike,
If Jeremy Bamber confessed to you, why are you campaigning for his release?
If the tape was passed to the Home Office, why didn't they pass it to the CPS and why haven't we heard about it from Essex Police?
If what you claim is true, then why does this forum even exist?

Hi, 'Ralph R.'
At the time that 'Jeremy' said what he said' in the context of what I said to him in response to the question he put to me on 'Christmas Day' after noon, during an extraordinary arrangement, whereby inmates were given permission to share the Christmas Dinner lock down which lasted three hours or so, was a concession that the prison governor ('Mr Staples') offered to us inmates because of a prison officers Christmas party held outside the prison inside the prison officers mess. There were conditions, however, which included the fact that inmates who were classified as 'category B status' , could share the company of other' Category B' inmates, either in their own single cells, or the other inmates cell. However, 'Category B' inmates could not invite a 'Category A, AA, or AAA, inmate to spend that particular lock down in their cells. Any such arrangement between different classification of categorisation, could only be allowed, if such a category B inmate agreed to spend that period inside the other inmates cell who were considered to be a greater security risk. The reason for this, is/ was because the single cells in which category A, AA, and AAA inmates lived, had more intense surveillance equipment which included pin hole cameras, and audio recording facilities (which category B inmates were not monitored by use of). Furthermore, if you were a category A, AA, or AAA inmate at 'HMP Full Sutton' back in the day [1989 /1990] you would be under the watchful eyes of prison officers and prison security, and this involved the need for constant supervision, (every 15 minutes or so) prison officers had to make handwritten notes in a book which related to such a higher category of prisoner.
Anyway, I knew that it was safe to spend that christ. As day period of lock down with 'Jeremy' in his single cell on 'B Wing' because of the security measures in place..
At that time, I worked as a redband for the prison governor (making tea and coffee for himself, his staff, and official prison visitors. I also took and brought back documents that needed to be transferred from one part of the prison and another. I was told when I agreed to take up that position that almost everywhere inside the prison was being monitored by camera and audio (other inmates believed this to be true, and when some of them asked me about it, I told them that there was some truth in it, adding that there was added security measures in category A, AA, AAA inmates cells, not fitted in any category B classified inmates cells..
When 'Jeremy' called me, 'Fucking Clever Bastard' he had a smirk on his face, which at the time he made those comments to me, I misinterpreted the meaning of them. A fact which became clearer to me much later, when 'Jeremy' gave me access to the judges summing up at his trial in October 1986 - in a nutshell, 'Judge Drake' told the jury in as many words, that the person responsible for the five deaths, could only be either 'Sheila' or 'Jeremy' and that there was no other evidence to suggest that anyone else could have been involved, or held accountable for...
Once I saw and read the summing up, I realised why 'Jeremy' may have said to me what he had said. Also, why he had smirked when he had done...
