Jeremy Bamber 54 Today

[lookout]

Jeremy is optimistic this time around. I write to him and am in the middle of a letter,but such is my letter-writing,long and drawn-out,I have to keep leaving it and going back. I did get him a Birthday card,but because my letter is still in limbo,I'll have to now buy a belated B/Card.
However,he does have the decency to write back,but he's quite busy at the moment.

Hello Patti

I think most forum members whether we think Jeremy is guilty or innocent would like evidence to come to light to prove one way or another without any doubt what really happened at WHF on that fateful night.  Grahame thinks like he does because he believes Jeremy is innocent whereas others who think he is guilty believe he is where he should be if he deprived innocent people of their lives two of which were wee children

Hello Susan, I definitely find myself in that camp.  I believe that on the balance of probability, Jeremy is guilty, mainly because I can't see any evidence of Shelia having been responsible.  I would love for someone to come up with something, that would change my mind.  The most convincing aspect thus far, is Jeremy himself.  I find him extremely impressive, albeit I have only heard and read the odd piece here and there. 

[Mr. Gee]

Not sure what your problem is Grahame.  I have always supported Jeremy since I arrived on this forum and still do.  I also think that people can imagine what its like to spend 30 years in prison, but sadly we cannot do anything about that other than debate about the case. I think your comment to me is rude. I suppose now you want to have a go at me. Well that's fine, go ahead.

Sorry Patti.

You're forgiven I'm sure,Mr G.

[Patti]

Sorry Patti.

No probs Mr Gee.....Keep smiling

Hope he is busy in a good way - would be nice just to know if things are still moving in the right direction ( without giving details of course)

Yes,he's busy in a good way.

He sounds a bit optimistic here. He is very resilient!

 Jeremy's 54th Birthday Blog
"I’ve just watched the film ‘Quartet’ on BBC two. I was in the middle of writing on a different theme, but as this is loosely based upon or around my 54th birthday it seemed germane to share some of my thoughts about ageing.

I’m not sure that I know what it is to grow older. I’m not saying that I don’t understand the process because I do, but it’s so hard for us to see it in ourselves and yet we watch as our friends grow old around us. My experience of ageing is just the same as it is for everyone else I’m friends with. The reason I know we’re growing older is that we’ve started talking about it a lot more during the last three of four years of discussions—in our thirties we never did.

As with the subjects we talk about here, there has to be a point to it that feels significant enough for someone to read it. So often friends and supporters write to me saying how sad it is that I’ve now spent almost thirty years wrongfully imprisoned—this will be my thirtieth birthday behind bars—or they feel I’ve been so unlucky in life.

Of course my life would have been different in every way had this tragedy not befallen my family and me, but in what ways it would have been different is completely unknown. Would I have even made it to my 54th birthday?

For the most part, the last thirty years have been kind to me on many levels. The film ‘Quartet’ that I’ve just watched underlined for me what I and many others believe to be the true font of happiness—to be loved by someone who you love equally in return. If you are lucky, that situation happens when you are young and lasts a lifetime, as it has with two of my closest friends. It may be, as you are reading this, that it hasn’t yet happened and the person who will love you as you love them is still but a dream for the future.
 
I don’t want to ruin the film ‘Quartet’ for you but it’s a love story that takes place between two residents in a retirement home. The point being that we simply don’t know when true love might strike. For the characters it’s quite late in life, but the joy of true love salves emotional pain like nothing else and more to the point brings a state of happiness beyond anything else known to man. I believe that makes living almost blissful and utterly complete. If it’s not happened to you yet, it will do, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year. There is no telling when cupid’s arrow may strike.

Going back to why life has been kind to me, it’s because I feel loved by so many people in all kinds of different ways—people who allow me to love them equally in return. What would be perfect for me right now is for Justice to prevail so that I can enjoy true love as a free man.

The good news is that Justice may indeed be on its way."

I wish they would shove him in a retirement home when the time comes and out of that smelly prison atmosphere and his tiny prison cell. A man who had much going for him until he was led astray by the spirit of the times,a man who craved human contact so much it could come from either sex,as long as he perceived the source as genuine. Only then will Jeremy begin to open up to the heinousness of his crimes,possibly to a most unlikely confidant as he sits in a faded brocade armchair with carpet slippers placed neatly nearby, his head nodding spasmodically to the person opposite,the money motive finally erased from his mind.

 It might be one of those old,prickly uncut moquette chairs that chafe the backs of your legs,Steve.

Lookout I'm sure he appreciates your loyalty and the mother figure he feels he never had.

Prisons to me are like Nazi concentration camps both destroyes a persons mind and will in time. to be locked up and waiting to die sums up our race and what we are we have learned nothing im certain one massive cover up of child abuse goes right to the heart of our so called system the truth will come out with the White House Farm  shootings like it will in our sick system.

Well I would lock up paedophiles like weatherman Fred Talbot for life,or at least put them out of the reach of the general public on some remote island. To think people in the North West were watching him and Stuart Hall on television for years and nobody blinked an eyelid.

Well let's hope you don't ever sin then Steve.
