I'm not on his side. I have not seen or spoke to Jeremy Bamber since 1995. I don't support him financial wise. The first I have had any recent contact is a letter I sent to him a week or so ago.
In my younger years I was involved with much heavier criminals then Jeremy Bamber. Of no names I will mention. I've done the jail for it though. So I can mention it.
Stop making him out to be a master conman of high intelligence. He was a barman and farm labourer. He was of average intelligence. He was privately educated at Greshams. He didn't excel at anything
Steve do you hate people from poor backgrounds?
I wouldn't say that Bamber is intelligent, it seems to be something that he gets labelled with. I think that manipulative people may possibly come across as intelligent, because the people they manipulate recognise that they are being controlled in some way by that person.
That may come across as acting in a clever way, and the perception may be that clever people are intelligent.
So there may have been an illusion of intelligence.
But manipulation never really got Bamber anywhere in life. If anything his behaviour held him back, and increased his anger and frustrations with his life in general.
I would say that his behaviour throughout his life was the opposite of clever. He influenced people, but in a negative way.
Most, if not all of his friends and acquaintances, seemed to be unsavoury in some way. He was having multiple affairs with women all at the same time, and they all seemed to be acquainted with each other, and kind of tolerated each other. Bret Collins comes across as a nasty piece of work, who was happy to do Bamber's dirty work after the murders of his family. Julie Mugford helped him rob his own family business, was happy that he was growing cannabis for the purpose of dealing.
Jeremy Bamber and his circle of friends, including Julie Mugford, were not nice people.
Given that he wasn't backwards in coming forwards, where were all the good people, the loyal friends? Where were they? The truth is he didn't have any. He must have driven them all away with his deviant behaviour.
There is nothing in Jeremy Bamber's life, from his schooldays until prison, that indicate to me that he was intelligent and/or clever.
