Perhaps they've no choice but to follow it up if someone makes an allegation. But they're clearly being led a dance and it doesn't make them look smart. Someone telling stories about Elm Guest House has a record for involvement in a boiler room scam (for laundering the money) and another now facing trial for perverting the course of justice actually filmed the police when they came to his home to interview him and posted the videos on YouTube. (No, the officers didn't seem to be aware of the camera.) Both men were interviewed on the sofa by Bill Maloney.
Under another great blog article, the blogger posts a comment summing up the 'activists':
It's fairly clear that the "Activists" are mostly petty criminals and ex-alcoholics or hop-heads. The head honchoes that are visible all have well-dodgy CV's and appear to vary their stories as they go along. They also never have real contemporaries to add balance or credence to their versions of events. You have to believe them - end of discussion. If you don't they fly into wild temper tantrums.
They flew into a rage when David Rose got the Mail to re-expose Steven Messham, although why Messham needed to be exposed yet again is baffling. Rose referred to it as Institutional Amnesia I think. I would see it more as conniving sensationalist journalism, political agendas and pure commercial greed by a pack of lying liars and sex fantasists. I'm sure a lot of them get their jollies describing all this sex stuff.
Judging from Bill's interviews with the convicted money launderer, there seems some truth in that last sentence. |

Spot on Ken; the most widely used description of Dickens I've had from many who met him is "box of frogs". |
