The Threat.

[Jane]

unless he was so confident that he would come to the conclusion that there was a MOJ ( which the author has indicated there was ) but did not think there was the additional risk of him then saying that he was still guilty? So therefore he was willing to be interviewed etc and work with him?

Jan, I'd say yes certainly if every previous author had found in his favour, but enough haven't to make him wary of each "new boy on the scene."

[Patti]

I think the worse thing that PH did was to announce his forth coming book and join two forums. A mistake he might consider not making in the future. 

[lookout]

Intelligent up to the point when researching the Jack the Ripper murders he researched the wrong Barnett ( which is supposedly the name of the original Ripper )  So these authors aren't infallible.

[lookout]

So far as I'm aware,Scott Lomax is the only author who's studied MOJ's.

Others have only written essays !

[Jane]

Neither do I April. You are an intelligent person and have come to this conclusion. PH is an intelligent person also and surely cannot really believe that Jeremy had any involvement with the letter. So why then, approach the press with the story as opposed to taking it through the proper channels?

Tyler, thank-you  for the compliment but sadly, all I can do is speculate his reasons, and I feel that there's been enough speculating done and unwarranted accusations made on the forum over the last 24 hours to last a life time.

With a genuinely open mind, wouldn't he need to join both....................or neither?

True,but then I guess that is one of the hazards of a media article that is based on speculation and unwarranted accusations

He could have joined both April and kept his identity quiet, no one would have been none the wiser and if he had stayed anonymous the article in the newspaper might not have happened.  I assume the temptation to join in was too tempting for him.  He was always Courteous to me and I to him. Goodness knows why things have turned out the way they have.  I am sure he will welcome any form publicity good or bad it all adds to getting him name out in the open and, why not?

I suspect he is not the first author to have joined a forum and he maybe he wont be then the last. But two rights don't make a wrong. IMO

He joined this forum to read the material posted here and to make contact with some of our members.   He joined the red forum only in order to respond to derogatory comments about him posted there.  It was not long before he was banned by the forum owner.

I DO hear what you're saying, but the other side of the coin is, that should he have done that and we'd somehow found out -be sure your sins and all that!!!- we would, I feel sure, be screaming from the roof tops about his lack of ethics/morals because he'd used us. He was up front and told us he was hoping to learn something. With hindsight it might have been better had he sat on the sidelines and watched from afar, without contributing, but neither he, nor WE, can go back and UNhappen any of it.

April you can have your opinion but a lot more has gone on behind closed doors than you realise. You will find out in time.
One thing I could never forgive someone who would make Jeremy look dangerous just to sell a book.

Nobody would fail to report that letter to the police and I am disgusted by the people who quote thE letter came from a supporter

[Alias]

The Author has claimed to have discovered evidence that proves without a doubt Jeremy's guilt. Evidence that three Police forces appear to have missed. I would think that to be accepted as definitive proof it would have to be something concrete and since all? of the potential evidence has been destroyed,I cant see how anything can be proved without a doubt. I found it interesting that the Author appeared to change his stance on the case around the same time as an 'alleged' falling out with the Campaign Team. I wondered if the term 'Bamber's disciples' in the article was a reference to the Campaign Team. Was it an insinuation that one of them may have been responsible for the threatening letter? I have noted that some others feel someone from the CT may be responsible. Why also the reference to JP in the article? Imo,the whole article appears to be a revenge attack on all of those that the Author feels have slighted him in some way. And of course,it has raised some publicity for the forthcoming book.

Also, ask yourselves where the term "Jeremy´s protector" comes from. The journalist? I doubt it - it was "fed" to him. Why? To make ngb look bad, as also Jackie and Jeremy were made to look bad.
To me this is rather transparent.

Yes I too have noticed that you are probably the poster who has the most common sense when posting about this alleged letter.

[Mr. Gee]

If you work it out Patti and you probably have probably the only county in England to be interested in such a book when the horse has already bolted after 30 years is Essex. So this is the place where he must catch the attention of potential readers of his book. Even my mate Steve Broughton from Lincolnshire didn't even know who he was. So who better to even care about an alleged threatening letter than people on this forum?
Even in Scotland they don't even care a hoot (get it?) They would probably say something like, "Whoartz this  Sasanach babbling on aboot?"

That's interesting. He was banned from the forum which allegedly boasts that they ban no one because he was apparently a Bamber supporter. Then he comes here, changes his stance to definitely guilty and is abusive to members here and then gets banned.
But then he is defended by members from the other forum by accusing members of this forum for allegedly sending him a death threat.
