It wasn't 161.
Have a look at 28 , 29 Acc Simpson's comment's , do you accept he made these and they are factual ?
Do you accept that they are factual?
If the reporter was to make a sworn statement , yes !!
To be honest Jon, I have nothing to base an answer on, of course I'm sceptical, but I have nothing to really base an opinion on.
Judging by what has gone before, then I would be very cautious about accepting it without further details, Jeremy does have a habit of releasing half truths, for example the claim that the police were in conversation with somebody in the house, which was truthful, however he failed to mention the next line which said they were met with no reply. Or the mention that police heard voices when they entered the house, when in actual fact it was the voices of the raid team heard over the open telephone line.
So yes I actually do believe that there may be elements of truth, but not the whole truth, and if the whole truth was put together then it would not bear any resemblance to what is alleged.
But as I say, I do not have the information to provide you with an answer, and as there isn't an affidavit from the reporter then would it be fair to say that you don't either?
