Let me tell you a story... 5 Years, 3 Months ago
|
|
|
Back in 2001 we had employed a (not very good) private investigator who, just before my trial, got a message from a policeman (or ex policeman) that he could guarantee if we paid him £5000 for each of my five false accusers, they would back down and retract their evidence.
Where he got their names and contact details (if he had them) I have no idea.
I told my guy to tell his cop (or ex cop) to fuck off. I never give in to blackmail, which I thought this "offer" was, knowing they always come back for more and anyway suspected the £25K would disappear into a black hole without any result.
In 2018 I was given proof of a certain person contacting an officer on my case in 2001, begging for contact details of my false accusers. She refused and reported him to her superiors (she is still a Surrey Police officer, now very senior and, I suspect, very good).
Putting two and two together I've come up with the number 4.

The trouble with "taking it further" is the absence of solid proof and the fact that, even if proved, it doesn't help my appeal which is the 2019 priority (just heard from the CCRC that they are taking it as an urgent priority and should reach some initial conclusions by March). But it does add to the mix - illustrating the motives and characters of major players (not, necessarily, the false accusers; I always felt they were more played than playing).
Interesting that, when we finally obtained the disclosed medical information, the one who started it all (with, eventually, MWT, via Clifford) turned out to have been in 29 mental institutions and rehab units before 2000 and never mentioned my name once. Nor the Walton Hop - which later turned into such a key to his false claims. And shared one rehab bedroom with a very young Will Self who kept copious notes (apparently this is standard treatment protocol) - nowhere mentioning even a squeak about me, though lots about being a rent boy, abused (for money) by many men, and his enormous appetite for drugs and alcohol.
The only person he briefly had mentioned my name to, in a long list including others, was a very old lady, who Surrey Police had lined up as a witness in 2001 (never needed, as his claims were ordered abandoned even then).
However, desperate to protect their reputation, Surrey Police tried to resurrect his claims in 2018 and HHJ Taylor, deliberately misinformed, allowed it - to begin with. Until she found out she'd been lied to (read her ruling).
Surrey Police had listed the woman as a witness coming to Southwark at my trial in 2018. However, being not only corrupt, vindictive and deliberately dishonest but incompetent, it turned out (in court - to the horror of the prosecution QC, the appalling Cottage) nobody had even ascertained whether the woman was still alive (in her late 80s or even 90s by now) and nobody had even tried to make contact with her.
The trial was halted whilst the useless cop dashed down to the distant West Country to see if she was still breathing and prepared to give evidence.
By now I could feel the Judge, Jury and entire court were turning against the prosecution.
The initial liar, incidentally, had suffered a series of near terminal strokes in 2007, as a direct result of his lunacy (having acquired Alan McGee as a supporter - all this is online) and could neither hear, speak nor move and was declared unable to attend court, even via video. I found it amazing he'd been allowed to be returned to the list (but am now delighted he was, as all this and much more emerged, not only making the Jury declare me Not Guilty of his claims but exposing Mark Williams Thomas to scrutiny and causing the trial to collapse). Karma.
He, of course, had only got involved, starting all this, 18 years ago, by going to Max Clifford and being told by Max that his story (still, then, not including me) needed a celebrity name added to it to be worth media cash. Thanks, Max. Karma.
And then spent hours and hours alone (though his wife may also have been involved in the plot) with Mark Williams Thomas, concocting a list including Jimmy Savile, Cliff Richard, Gambo and others. Karma.
Watch it unravel in 2019.

as we all now know (well you should as I've said it so many times  ) the media giveth with one hand and taketh with the other.
a reason I've always been wary of them whilst partaking from time to time. 
Personally, I would be ruthless as to some of the characters who have enabled and caused so much misery and outright fraud and illegality.
Times change and things move on. Once the rotten sociopath detectives who stitched up alleged (but innocent) Irish bombers slept safely in their beds even when exposed as liars and frauds and perverters of justice.
Now I think the mood has changed. You only have to read the comments sections on all tabloids..the general public no longer trust their police. The media picks up on this mood.
It is time for revenge..not for revenge's sake but so others do not go through this in the future.
Times change and when they do it's swift as can be seen here in this snap of the Great Rupert Murdoch reading 'Utopia For Realists' (so delighted my local library has it and will pick it up tomorrow)..described as a formular for how society can be Utopia with everyone getting a social wage & only work 15 hours a week....I've been advocating this for 40 years and now Rupert is on board (or is he planning to scupper the whole idea??  )
