for him to offer a polygraph test the phone call would of actully had to have actully happend and i dont belive it did.

There is no reason for an author to insist on a polygraph and  no reason someone would take one at the insistence of an author. Most people would not even talk to an author who suggests such.

I agree, have just said that.

\Wheher the phone call happened or not, there's no reason on earth why Brett Collins or anyone else would agree to a polygraph test.  Brett was never a suspect, he has nothing to prove at all.

I didn't mention insistence. The point is that Brett allegedly rang PH, but why would he do so and why would he expect to be believed? Did PH indicate whether this call was to a private number or simply the landline at PH's home?

Isn't it customary to ask a couple of questions that the caller would recognise before engaging in any sort of a conversation ?

The people at my work and house know more about me than you do so what do you propose you could ask about me that only you would know and only I would know?

No one has any reason to pretend to be me and would be unlikely to bother but it is still possible.  The same is true of Brett hence the caveat.

saying somone cliaming to breet colins is a good way of covering yourself from legal action.

If there was no call at all and the entire thing was made up and that could be proved it saying the person claimed to be Brett would not save someone from a suit.  If someone actually tried to fool him then it would save him.  He didn't write anything that would harm Brett's reputation so he would have no damages anyway.  The reason why you put it is for your own reputation/ the benefit of the reader. It is so the reader is aware he didn't know Brett from a hole in the wall and simply called over the phone and there is thus a very slight chance it was someone pretending to be Brett.  If you have a relationship with someone that should be disclosed or the lack or one.  That is the proper way to write.  Full disclosure.

The OS are claiming The Sun approached Jeremy and he was duped.

I didn't know Bamber was refuting this.

I have it in writing the newspapers approached Jeremy . Not once did he blame Brett, to me anyway. His claim regarding this has not changed in over 25 years.

In writing from Jeremy or from an official document?

[Aunt Agatha]

Seems lots of people now jumping on the bandwagon writing books.

Maybe I should jump on too - after all, I've still got 18 yrs of letters from Jeremy detailing the events of that night , the discovery of withheld information, his feelings regarding his family at the time and his own experience of prison life, solitary confinement and more.

Jeremy could write the book himself!!

He couldn't sue me that's for sure!!  :D

In writing! I have had him write down all the facts of that fateful night and afterwards because none of it at the time made sense!

[Aunt Agatha]

I'm wondering what's included in the Campaigns book.

Mmmm!  I hope he's not changed his story from 25yrs ago as I've always believed him to be innocent. I'd be devastated if what he's written in the book is different to what he told me in writing. I'd have to question why the facts and his views at the time changed.

I agree, you should write a book!  :D. However on The Sun story, if he did intend to sell the pictures, he wouldn't want anyone to know that it was he who contacted The Sun and would be likely to claim they contacted him. I asked him about the selling of the pictures and he ignored the question.
