personally I think its more to do with the newspaper article and the accusations it made and forum members being drawn into the article.

If he had come on here ( which he did in a way ) and infer he had changed stance on the outcome of his research I don't think there would have been much fuss tbh.



Jan, the mistake was with the forum in seeming to think that this guy was everyone's best friend and that he owed some sort of loyalty to us. He was a professional author using us to research material for his book and he explained this from the word go. I don't believe it was necessary for him to tell us anything regarding a change of stance -which must have taken quite a bit of re-writing- which may be one of the reasons for the delay in publication.

Jan,I honestly don't think he had a stance,he was sort of half and half. It was just a question of waiting for his book,and his own personal take on the case. I don't think you can do justice to a book like this unless  you can get hold of unseen documentation. Interviewing/word of mouth isn't always the way to go,where there's obvious bias for or against.
What nobody up tp now has gone into,are the long-term effects of Sheilas' illness,etc,simply because her records have never been available,as without those you only get half a picture,Jeremys' half. As the judge remarked," It's either Sheila or Jeremy ".

I'm beginning to feel as if there's an undercurrent of old fashioned cattiness running through this topic. I can remember back to when MD/PH first joined and how excited we were at the thought of a new book. Now it seems nobody can find a good word to say about it.
Well I of course can't speak for anybody else, but the reason I lost interest what when this article was published in a Scottish newspaper about him receiving death threats and then when I read the pm he sent to Jackie which read as if he was being a bit paranoid. We were all interested in his "new book" when he was being friendly with everyone. Suddenly he started to be vindictive. In my opinion it was not the fact that he appaently changed his stance but rather his accusations concerning certain people and his breaking his trust on confidentiality with certain folk.

Mr Harrison was also contacted by a woman who works for an Essex-based firm which publishes magazines for the public sector, including one called Counter-Terror Business aimed at the police, the military and the intelligence services.

She offered to give him access to a database of over 100,000 email addresses, including potentially sensitive contacts within the Home Office and other government departments.

However, Mr Harrison said he became suspicious and contacted the woman's employers - PSI Ltd - to alert them to a potential breach of security.

One week later, the letter arrived at his home on the sparsely populated island of Sanday. One of the lines reads: "You dodged one bullet but keep checking over your shoulder, Jeremy is still watching you and is waiting.

"You see how we are working with the public sector to support Jeremy Bamber."




No letter in show in the newspaper and a disgraceful lie saying I was going to give PH access to a database

Then to accuse Jeremy of sending a threatening letter

A serious author what a joke

If anyone needs confirmation of the deceit that has gone on please contact Ngb

He needs to be punished if he made up the letter to cause pain to Jeremy

My hope is he ends up paying huge damages for what stories he told the Scottish Press

Jackie I for one agree with you that this man has lied and I do not believe that such a letter was received by him. The article that was written was full of lies and insinuations. If I had the money I would sue this man for you for defamation of character. In my opinion this article is disgraceful.

Hang Jeremy, the article is damaging to you personally. I see yourself as being the one condemned and accused by clueless people on these forums just posting all kinds of rubbish just in order to throw mud at you. Nothing at all is mentioned about the pm he sent you. My estimation of the man has been seriously damaged by his baseless insinuations of both you and Neil. A thoroughly disgusting fellow if you ask me.

Grahame, it's very generous of you, but as the report only states that"Mr Harrison was contacted by a woman........................" wouldn't it be rather difficult?

Thanks Grahame this has affected Ngb, me and Jeremy and what I don't understand is how this person thinks he can get away with it.

He has rung my company numerous times sometimes 3 times a day

God knows how this has affected Jeremy

So what are you trying to say April? That Jackie is the death threat letter writer? Because that is exactly what was picked up on this forum, And what is your explanation of Harrison's "kind and encouraging" pm to Jackie? If he was "suspicious" as the article said, then why would he write her such and encouraging pm? Surely it is much more likely that Neil upset him on the forum and that he has been seething about it over the days and then quite like magic this threatening letter appears?

Grahame, as I said yesterday, I very much doubt that we would have known anything about this had Jackie not announced to us that she'd been contacted by PH who wanted to be friends with her. What we saw here appeared little more than a "round robin." It was a polite and friendly, but quite impersonal response to contact previously made.

I thought the first time we knew about it was MD posting on the forum asking "Who is this woman"?

That was Jackie's topic he posted in, the first we heard about it was Jackie saying MD tried to be-friend her and that he had contacted her first. NGB proved this to be false, she'd actually contacted him.


IF PH was lying - then why did Jackie's employer say this?

"Clive Beer, business development director of PSI Ltd, added that the employee who offered to give Mr Harrison 100,000 public sector email addresses had been "severely rebuked" and was "hanging on to her job by a thread".

He said: "She was trying to help him along and became slightly overzealous. She is a sales agent and has no access to any of our database information. All of the emails are in the public domain.""
