Statement of Ann Eaton 8th - 13th September 1985

[Lugg]

Steve_UK - I do not propose to respond in detail to your points because I would only be repeating myself and I see that other members have already challenged you on several points.  However I have to respond to the paragraph above highlighted in blue.  You are thoroughly insulting as well as inaccurate.  For the record I am not a "public school type", I attended the local comprehensive and for most of my childhood lived in a council house.  I have experience in different fields, including law, and I certainly never adopted a "lackadaisical attitude" to my cases.  I take particular offence to your implication that I am xenophobic, homophobic and racist.  I was for many years very politically active and opposition to such attitutes was fundamental to my beliefs and work. You know nothing about me but choose to denigrate me in effort to bolster your opposition to my arguments.  I did not attack you, I simply gave an honest and I believe objective assessment in response to a question from a forum member.  Your snide attack on me does you no credit, and certainly does not further your arguments.

Ngb I was going to challenge Steve-uk on those points. But chose not to as you alone could give the only acceptable answer. I also had in mind the "public school boy" point and was about to say that not everyone in certain professions went to a public school. Certainly not the lady barrister I used to know. In my humble opinion I think the statements that Steve-uk made about you tell us more about his own failings than about yours. I found your posts to be intelligent, well calculated, documented and enlightening.
It is unfortunate that in his zeal to defend Julie Mugford he hashed together some random thoughts about you in a couple of minutes he has successfully depicted himself as a rather garrulous person and has tipped the scales as far as I am concerned against him so that my opinion of him has decreased somewhat.

steve wow I sense you are somewhat supporting Jeremy in your post in that maybe if he had had a firm of lawyers say from the working class district of the North who called a spade a spade he may have been found innocent.  I had a sneaky feeling underneath all your talk you were being swayed towards Jeremy being innocent.

Campion once told me of an accountant he knew named "Swindle".

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>not from a working class background,,so I'll be next on Steves' list .
There were no maids,,except for one in my fathers family.Her name.? Mrs Shufflebottom,,to which I had a plentiful supply of thick ears for laughing/giggling,as a youngster,,which youngsters do.

What sticks in my mind was an undertakers not far from the family home years ago,,and his name was I.Berry. As a child I used to imagine that people had to have names that matched their occupation. D'oh.!

Well on my journey to work every morning (I worked in Southend then) I passed a a butcher's shop in Rayleigh called "Mr. Butcher - Butchers"

At school my PE teacher used to say, "Belt up Belton or I'll belt yer one".

It is surprising how many names that do actually match their occupations.

Vic, there is a CLEAR discrepancy between Dovey's and Mugfords statements and no one will convince me that it wasn't on purpose. If Mugford was 'seen' to have gone to the bank of her own volition, it would obviously make her a better witness in the eyes of the prosecution.

Exactly.

Hello Caroline  steve has changed recently and getting bolder by the minute I have not yet decided if this is due to him thinking he is now an expert on the case or he is on the defensive as he is now totally out of his depth especially with ngb.

Susan dear, Steve's posts appear to be delivering the message that he is the only one amongst us who isn't intellectually challenged. They also deliver the message that Steve is diplomatically challenged.

We have a timber yard here in Copenhagen called Hammer og søn = Hammer and son. There are plenty of those - always funny!

Now to something entirely different.

Of course I know that. Anji Greaves had the champagne on ice with journalists from the Sun in a top London hotel boudoir with a banner reading "FAITH,TRUTH,JUSTICE..WELCOME HOME JEREMY" and would have pocketed the £50,000 cheque on offer had she not put it down her bra or put it inside her garter first.

This from a man who calls female members´ posts "vulgar". Steve, I find this post of yours extremely vulgar. Wiping off Julie Mugford´s tastelessness and lack of class on Anji Greaves in the most rude manner. You owe her an apology.
You also owe NGB an unconditional apology for your extreme and uncalled for rudeness towards him. Your tone has changed lately, and not for the better. You "talk down" to other posters here. Steve, you have no reason, right or cause to do that, and it looks stupid, because all you have is a love for the criminal, Julie Mugford + you have read a few true crime books, which always concist of a mixture of fact and fiction.
Had to get this off my chest.

Alias I have noticed steve has changed recently as he was never rude and disrespectful to other forum members infact always quite polite.  I think he is running out of material to post so is doing repeats with a difference   It takes a man to apologise lets see what he is made of.

Well said Alias!! I used to work with a couple of Hammer's when I worked off-shore but they were from the Faro Islands, it seems to be a popular surname in that neck of the woods.
