I agree with just about everything Neil Oliver says, but here is the question: What are you going to do about it?

First of all rattling off a stream of negative points are bouncing off the Establishment like inflated balloons.

Conspiracy theories are just that: theories not facts that have taken into a court of law. They are gossip points.

The problem is that it takes a lot of money and a lot of time to turn theories into facts that can be proved beyond reasonable doubt. Who is going to do that?

In our instance we have published segments over the past few years with proof that the anoraks LIE like children.

So what happens?

Jeers and sneers.

Malcolm Smith plays the anoraks for fools to build his own PERSONAL business for PERSONAL financial gain.

Ditto with puddin' bowl man Paul Rusling who is only 10% as smart as Malcolm.

So it comes down to Neil Oliver who has the ear of someone plus a good income. Why not find out who agrees with you and form a new group to legally fight this mess?

Bellyaching does no good at all, in fact, the bad guys get worse and the breaking point will sadly be reached in violence instead of quietly in a courtroom, but for that you need evidence.

So where is the courtroom evidence Neil and are you going to file the first law suit and pay for it out of your own pocket?

Or, do we have to wait for the sound of gunfire in the streets?

Oh dear..........

"Malcolm Smith plays the anoraks for fools to build his own PERSONAL business for PERSONAL financial gain."

says the man who has produced ZERO EVIDENCE that this is the case.

Oh, and if you want to make money, spout nonsense on a YouTube channel. Yours is the exception to the rule.

Personal Gain? I don't think so

"CROWDFUNDER UPDATE: Message from station manager Peter Moore

Our Crowdfunder Campaign to raise funds for the Ross Revenge Dry Dock Appeal has now ended. A huge Thank You! to everyone who donated. Your support and generosity are very much appreciated.

Crowdfunder is just one income source for our charity appeal. We were hoping in total to raise £125k. At this time our charity funds stand at around £131k - which is excellent. We can now look at outside funding and grants.

There is no upper limit as to what could be spent on Ross Revenge. Fundraising for the ship has not ended but we have completed the first phase. Now patrons will be sought to advise us according to their specialised skills. Ross Revenge is on the National Historic Ships Register and while this organisation does not allocate funds, it will direct us and educate us where to seek Heritage or Commercial support.

We do note that the retired excursion steamer TS Queen Mary which lay derelict alongside side us in Tilbury Dock has now raised £3 million, such that the Trust that owns her and who previously thought to keep her on static display are now planning to make her a fully operational ship again. Bearing in mind that Queen Mary had her engines and boilers removed and scrapped decades ago and that she was not built for heavy duty service, this makes our own task less daunting.

Peter Moore
Station Manager
Chairman of Ross Revenge (Home of Radio Caroline) Charity

So, Malcolm Smith using a fictitious identity is raising money to save an old cod ship because it may have some historic interest to a few fishermen.

But how is he doing it?

Not by making his campaign one that saves an old cod ship, but one that is indirectly trying to preserve a FAKE offshore radio station.

Pardon the pun, but that is BAIT and switch. Kind of appropriate for a fishing boat fraudster!

But again, words into the ether.

We need words in courtrooms, which is better than guns in the street.

Civil wars (plural) are on their way if this stupidity does not stop soon, and I am 100% opposed to violence of any kind by anyone.

However, there are mad people running this world and dropping bombs in the name of 'freedom'.

I suppose death is one way to be free from human despots.

Pity though, I think that life is far better.

I don't know how you think I know and wright everything Meve because I actually don't read or write, much to your surprise. But going backwards in history some one on GS Gas has queried the surrender of the MV Communicator in November 1985

My limited understanding was Capatain Paternoster who read the Bible had treatened to bring the ship in 2 weeks earlier. This is on an anorak video which is often posted. THere is also the anorak version of " a more traditionally minded offshore crew would have weathered the storm and tender was actually waiting"

There is also the view that the proffessional USA presenters had had enough of the exciting North Sea adventure and did wahat the Captain said

There is also the therory that Paternoster who later got finded a few pounds under the MOA might have been encouraged to give up

Which is interesting but as John Cattlet said at Communicate 88 he did not think the ship would hve seen out the winter anyway.

As I said before on forums that now disown me and ban me. Whoeever built those masts that tall must have been DTI moles. Because it was obvious by miles they were going to come crashing down time and time again

Of course I cannot reply on the forum this started on because it is run by nutters mostly for the benefit of the same

So Fred Bramley will have to pass opinion on the seafaring capabilities of Captain Paternoster

I am putting on a tribute to Big L - Wonderful Radio London and I asked Peter Moore if we could combine our operations because so many of us are dying and we need to use the remaining resources to the best of our abilities.

But Peter is not willing to share because he has a full-time Radio Caroline on AM and a subsidiary on FM to take care of plus a ship.

I reminded Peter that I have Radio Fab with all of the records, clothing and pins, but he still is not interested.

I would like to get a license from Ofcom but without the community restrictions since it is a business for me, and while Peter thinks that he has found a way around this, in the end his Radio Caroline is likely to go the way of all AM operations.

I tried to pull things together with the theatre at Felixtowe, but the support just isn't there for so many projects, and now Peter is trying to rescue a ship as well.

If you can, use your influence on the two other pirate boards to get all anoraks to pull together as one team. Otherwise divided we will fail.

Ray, the reason I have a negative view about what you are doing is because it is a flash in the pan. It's only another RSL. We've done that and been there long ago. All you are doing is diverting resources that we need for the ship and station. Your operation is just that = your operation. As a team we have much bigger ambitions than that, but the window of opportunity rests with the anoraks who are dying off, and so raising money now is a race against the clock of old age.

On one of my occasional daily listens to the station of the free world nation I hear that Lyn Gilbert's book is now being promoted as the the true and sometimes shocking story behind the scenes!

What is Peter's agenda with this?

A pound for a book = a £ for my ship?

A pound for this particular book = helping me disconnect from the past until I can get rid of this hulk and use the excuse sorry you old farts did not give enough money to me to say it's had the biggest cod catch on record that was not on Russco turntable with Neil Gapes pick ups

Lyn Gilbert's book

26/6/2023 10:53:27 pm

It is simply that the author requires all proceeds of sale to go to the Ross Revenge charity for the restoration of the ship, nothing more than that.

I am very disappointed to discover that offshore radio was just radio from ships or non land scructures

Like King Kennedy this tired old pirate story needs a boost. More pirates, more talking monkeys, more Johney Deep court cases. More marches on Mos Cow. More more Moore

I definately maybe made up removable labels reading they sound like the Beatles

Noel was just not impressed and said I knew nothing about the Brit Pop Beatles revolution he was going to instigate

After Liam and Noel treatened to head butt me they achieved moderate success by renaming themselves Blur

In my opinion a huge mistake

Offshore Echaos France

1/7/2023 12:44:17 am

A total of 270 people were arrested across France on Friday daytime and evening, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said. In the early hours of Saturday, the ministry updated that figure to 341.

At least 80 of those are in Marseille, where Mayor Benoit Payan has asked the central authorities for police reinforcements to deal with the unrest.

Looting has also been taking place in the cities of Lyon and Grenoble with groups of often hooded rioters raiding shops.

the Radio Caroline Myth 1963-1964 about to be finally revealed?
Posted by Scottg on July 2, 2023, 12:01 pm
Over many decades the eternal question has been - who really was the 'brains' behind the formation of the offshore radio station on the MV Fredericia - known as Radio Caroline. 'A comment often made as if Ronan O'Rahilly had given us a splendid gift in 1964 is REALLY INCORRECT. Ronan has always been in the public eye because he was PUT FORWARD on behalf of dozens of shareholders within the companies behind the station, including Planet Productions. In reality, his investment (involvement?) has been in a flamboyant manner addressing the press which has resulted in repeated publicity' - Hans Knot. You can read this in the Hans Knot International Radio Report-Summer 2023. There are only a few things for certain, the MV Fredericia was fitted out in Greenore, Ronan o'Rahilly recruited the DJ's and was the frontman and figurehead of the station. He most certainly DID not run the business side. As always views, comments etc are welcome. Scottg.

"There are only a few things for certain, the MV Fredericia was fitted out in Greenore" sez Scottg.

You weren't even born - so how would you know?

I know that the biggest part was not "fitted out" in Greenore.

Get on to Agb and ask him what this means.

3/7/2023 05:19:53 pm

Aint it funny that Garry and his board and Dave and his board and Hans Knot and his board all confuse what happened between 1964 and 1967 with something that they call 'free radio'?

Now Scottg is back with his shadow Agb all wondering about Romin O'Ramit and commercial radio, as if any of the three dots to free, commercial or Ramit connect with 1964-1967.

Scottg and Agb no one is interested in any of this.

Pirate radio is stuff from the tops of blocks of flats and boats of one sort or another all dedicated to telling the Establishment to f*** off.

What happened between 1964 and 1967 can be divided into two camps: 1) business people playing politics to kick open a door to broadcasting, and 2) a handful of people who thought it was all a game like the Garry and Dave nuts today. (I forgot to add Hans.)

The problem is that the 'pirate' bunch are actually doing what the Establishment wants them to do and they don't get it.

Romin was in it to get money for himself. Not from radio but from the business people who need a paid useful fool.

In other words who cares about any of this because you are all so far off the mark that it really doesn't matter what you think.

Hans thinks he is a historian but historians know that is laugh on him. He couldn't investigate fleas living in his beard that sprouts from time to time..

Knot a Sir

7/7/2023 07:14:53 am

Hans is neither a historian nor a Sir. His works are riddled with schoolboy inaccuracy, just like the pudding bowl who bestowed the title upon him, because he knows his place.

What book of Kate Cary's was this?

4/7/2023 12:06:19 am

Kate writes to Hans praising Supremo for being the new sliced bread and paying their mortgage when it was financially more likely the other way around and Chris was richer than him to the point of mutiny and Hans says thanks for the insight

How many turnabout faces can Hans Knot pull off while pretending to be all things to all people. Thanking them for postcards and reminicing misty eyed obituries of his childhood heros one month then telling us all they are all a load of rubbish the next

Scottg and AgB reposting this on GS just shows that entire lot are just as Steve Anthony said on air, a load of frustrated old men

"Dear Kate Thank you for your e mail and concern but the fact of the
matter is that it is not only the hallelujah stories that get space but
also the stories that have often been hushed up but still surface. In
1971, I was a fan of radio stations like Caroline. Through my studies,
which allow me to call myself a historian in the field of media, among
other things, it is clear that the rather unread entries should also be
given space.

Moreover, there have been many publications on Radio Caroline over
the years, which often had a different form of exposure of the
topics and thus all rightly received the attention a new publication
deserved.

I recall with that yourself also received the necessary
publicity 10 years ago with your book"

If you go on YouTube you will find a lot of authentic video material recorded at the time of incident recorded. But there is a LOT of conspiracy guilt by association stuff on there as well.

This idea of guilt by association is similar to the idea that if A knows B and C knows A, then C must know B.

Malcolm Smith and his Caroline ship operation fall into the guilt by association category on his web site. There is a picture in the top right hand corner that has been snipped from a Sixties head shot of Ronan O'Rahilly. The idea being that because Ronan O'Rahilly was linked to the original Radio Caroline ship in 1964, and because Ronan O'Rahilly linked to the Ross Revenge, therefore the two ships must have a common ancestry, which of course they do not.

Radio Caroline was over and done with by March 1968, and in a business sense it was finished by August 14, 1967. What came afterwards was something totally different but it did involve Ronan O'Rahilly.

Think of the American pop groups like the Platters and the Coasters. The lost most of their original members and then one member decided to form a new group with the same name. But it could not be the same group that made the hit recordings.

Eventually a howl went up in the 1980s when so many records were being resung and released claiming to be the originals that the practice stopped. There are even two versions of Paul Anka singing 'Diana'. The original fades out and the later one hits a high note and ends.

Malcolm Smith is a crook because he is claiming on several fronts to represent 'Radio Caroline' as the authentic station linked to 1964 and of course it is not. There was a BIG gap after the Caroline ships were towed away and the original scrapped, before the fan based imitation came along.

Now Colin Nichol in Australia has revealed that the Grenada 'World in Action' film that shows Tony Withers (Windsor) in the studio recording the first "Champer's Day" program for Radio Atlanta at 47 Dean Street - is a FAKE.

Tony Windsor who fled Australia over a scam, did not make the first program and this is why no one can make sense of the "Johnny Jackson" and "Bob Scott" live transmissions from the Mi Amigo.

The reason being that they were REAL and the Grenada 'World in Action' film is a PRETEND broadcast that NEVER took place.

It was not until I asked Colin about some photographs that have recently appeared that this knowledge came to light!

It is a case of facts very fantasy or public relations in the instance of Allan Crawford and the Grenada film, but it is sheer FRAUD in the instance of Malcolm Smith and his claims about the Ross Revenge and HIS 'Radio Caroline'. There is NO link from them back to 1964.

Sometimes it takes YEARS and a LOT of money to PROVE a case of FRAUD but now we know the truth about Tony Withers and his part in fooling the fans of 1964-1967 offshore radio.

On the other hand, Malcolm Smith is constantly roping in more fools in the media who are spreading his LIES in order for Malcolm Smith to SOLICIT MONEY under FALSE PRETENSES.

That is a CRIME that needs to be stopped.

Mervyn Hagger

9/7/2023 06:22:29 pm

Colin Nicol (yes I spelt it differently last time when I also included some typos), but in going back through my old emails I find that I have uncovered so much data that I have forgotten half of it. This includes asking the same questions of Colin years after asking them the first time.

What is different now is that more material is coming to light that my team has bought and paid for that fills in a LOT of blanks from 1960 to 1964, and this includes the start of Radio Atlanta and Manx Radio.

I have also found some old notes made over 30 years ago that caused me to go and recheck their authenticity.

It turns out that there is a DIRECT link from the creation of the Mi Amigo radio ship to the man who paid for Dame Melba to sing over MZX after which a ship named Ceto came into play. This links the story from 1920 to 1960 and the start of Radio Nord.

In doing this research I also came across a claim by Lenin that electrification is the foundation of communism and he made that statement before the USSR was created. I'll bet the Greens don't want to be linked to the founder of the Russian communist empire.

What really makes me hopping mad are crooks like Paul Rusling and Malcolm Smith who rush into publication with lie after lie after lie because they know nothing but they are unwilling to find the real story.

Then along comes a junior brigade of people like Agb and all the rest who needle me about not publishing. But are they willing to share the COST and the work? No they turn to thieves like Paul Rusling who come to see the evidence and then steal it in order to support the HUGE lie that Ronan O'Rahilly was anything more than a petty crook himself.

Malcolm Smith attacks O'Rahilly and posts his picture on his web site in order to solicit money from anorak cultists to save an old cod ship.

HI MIKE,

I watched Piers Morgon with Rose Barr and agreed how she said that this Racism now extends to no Jew will ever turn on another Jew or have any nasty thoughts (No weak jews in the Goodfellas Mafia folks - tough as Joe Pesci eating on the hoof) about anyone else in the same way that no white person will harm another white person. Black harm another. Oriental harm another ???

I thought she had quite good points for the wholesome blue collar from Delaware (what is that, some kind of working class tax haven??) whose husband Dan was building a 20ft dinghy in the garage optimistically hoping he would complete it some day and they would sail it around the world!

Rather like that silent Buster Keaton Film The Boat (check it out.good)

After Piers the algo whatnot went onto Neil Oliver who now has his head held on by a scarf rather in the style of the Fairy Jobmother from years ago

https://youtu.be/pwrUf0EHknc

However what I heard was his observation that all this wellbeing touchy feeling inclusion, we really care is a velvet glove covering an iron fist. There is a new unpleasant crackdown on anyone who does not identify with being in a very small but extremley vocal minority. They are shouted down, arrested and told they are not modern, tolerant, abnormal etc

Much as the term normal certainly used to be used to unfairly persecute minorities the the swing has now skewed but in a totally inbalanced way

Those who follow my interesting life know that I have experienced this from example The I am Danial Blake Senerio. Two years ago the DWP was pretending it was all we really care about your health, it's not like the past. We have mountains of funding going to be wisely spent etc. And of Course I knew that was all rubbish and of course unfortunately I have been proved right in my sensible experienced forsight of the portent of things to come

My opinion now ( that is my suggestion not something I have cribbed off U tube)
is that if you think of the past and the two tiers (at a simple level) of the economic haves and the have nots is now a two tier ( at a simple level) of who is in a minority extreme who can make the most noise in an empty vessel where everyone's voice echos to the point that the crackpots crack the pot

To mirror the above

19/7/2023 01:46:59 pm

AGBs Snipies on the dark side, mirror the above. Anorak can surely never turn against anorak. Pirate against pirate? Surely not says Susan Calvert, Mebo and Roy Lindau

"God Dump Our Idiot King and his BBC hacks" - that will be glorious!

I have been receiving some totally idiotic posts about the accuracy of the postings by Chris Greenway are on Twitter – using a thing called ‘Threadreader’ – which is of course a rip-off of the Facebook idea of a similar service called ‘Threads’ …. Or a total rip-off of our idea called Foundthreads which has been available for many years.

But, the fellow idiots on the Garry Stevens ‘Hate Malcolm but love Ronan’ board, are now in love with Chris Greenway who I shall now dub a TransAcademic since he is more like a politician than an educator.

This is what he has posted (minus his pictures) to cover the years from 1922 to 1928 in order to cover-up the BIG BBC LIE about being 100 years old – because it is not unless he is referring only to initials. But the British Broadcasting Corporation got LEGALLY slapped-down on that one many decades ago. They were told that they could not use the British Broadcasting Company Ltd., TRADE MARK, because they were not trading. So, the British Broadcasting Corporation invented a coat of arms instead to represent this Royalist institution which began operations in 1927.

For Chris Greenway what this translated into was a Malcolm Smith LIE (you should sue him Malcolm for stealing your idea!) This is what Chris Greenway wrote for Twitter:

“99 years ago today, the Postmaster General issued a licence to the BBC to start experimental transmissions on longwave.”

No, 99 years ago today, the PMG did not issue any license to an entity called ‘BBC’. Then Chris tells readers that longwave broadcasting did not begin in Britain.

“All the BBC's early broadcasts were on mediumwave. On its formation in November 1922 the BBC inherited three MW transmitters (2LO London, 2ZY Manchester, 5IT Birmingham) from its founding companies. By end of 1924 it had built six more "main" MW stations and 11 relay stations.”

No, the BBC was not broadcasting at all. At first there were different UK and USA companies pooling their output to form a network called the British Broadcasting Company Limited. But it was not broadcasting, individual stations were broadcasting and via a trademark they were radiating their collective programs to listeners. That is the trademark that the British Broadcasting Corporation was told that it could not use. Chris then claims that ….

“This gave the BBC a group of stations that covered individual cities rather than a national service.”

But, Chris, that is a LIE. The BBC was not broadcasting anything at all. It had no Crown licence to do so, but he claims that ….

“9 July 1924: The Postmaster General issues a licence to the BBC to transmit on longwave. Since 1868, the GPO (General Post Office) had been the regulator for, first, all telegraphs in the UK, and then radio transmissions.”

No, Chris, the English CROWN which seized power in a coupe d’etat under General Monck who ended the unified English and Scottish Republic, also introduced a censorship law to grab all forms of mass communication, and this was in the year 1660. So, when Chris writes this ….

“21 July 1924: Using the callsign 5XX, the BBC starts experimental broadcasts on 187.5 kHz longwave (a wavelength of 1600 metres) from a 15 kW transmitter at the Marconi works in Chelmsford (Essex).”

…. Well, you are WRONG again, Chris, and suddenly, after a brief mention of 1927, you are ready to discuss 1928.

Chris, either you don’t know anything about the origin of mass communications in the UK, or you are a political hack.

Mike Simmonds: Ships need to be dry docked for winter

Another Anorak: Oh no they don't. You are not a marine biologist Mike

Another Duffer coat: Stop speculating Mike

Another Pair of pants: Flood damage will make the ship stronger Mike

Mike Gasping for air: In learning to live and write in Reading, I can't yet hear it well enough for me. Does it compare with Red Sands in 1965 Mr Observer

Mr Observer: Yes Mike they are both rusty museum pieces of the past

AGB: Thank you Paul for your clarification. Very detailed and in depth as usual

Disciple Paul: Thanks ATB but I actually made no comment on this news story as I am busy planning a new project with top people all over the world and and hand in hand, well wait and see. At this stage it's all understandably hush hush and very very top secret in my hands, leaking gossip everywhere

GS: I salute you all sirs for your memories of the horrible hippy ship

Steward: Thread locked now chaps

Yes, you included on the list, Mr Gates, as you always have something to say when "Caroline" is mentioned so must be a huge fan otherwise it would not be circulating constantly in your head.
Have you looked into making a donation in your will as I am sure it would be appreciated?
Enjoy the "North" weekend - we know you will be listening.

Bit of a contradiction there Mr Gates.
You must listen to know, that in your mind, it is "crap".

You chaps are small grease monkeys! I have studied the dark side, even now I am causing a disturbance in the anorak force. I have written to PM and told him to buy a bigger umbrella to cover the entire ship which urgently needs to be dry docked on my death star. You will succumb to my power little anoraks monkeys

It's good to see Mervyn is still active to get to the truth. So much drivel appears on Garry's and Martin's joke forums. We all know Caroline finally ended in 1967 and there is NO connection between the 1964 to '67 Caroline and today's comminity hobby caroline

The following is typical of the stuff libelling Mervyn Hagger's character on public forums by Peter Moore. This shows Peter Moore is not fit to run a UK community station, and therefore the Radio Caroline licence should be revoked to bring this noneense to a close. Ofcom should be notified by Mervyn Hagger about the continual attacks on him by Peter Moore.of Radio Caroline.:-

HMM,

the quote you mention was surely from Mervyn, or John England or Caroline Brooks or his mythical 'trio ' of colleagues. It is not the first time he has accused me of multiple criminal actions and even my making this post will in due course come to his notice when he will spit out still more impotent fury.
As it happens I sent various examples of Mervyn's outpourings to a defamation lawyer and then had a meeting.
The advice was that in normal circumstances i.e. if dealing with a normal person, a ' Cease and
Desist ' letter would cure the problem.
But in this case the lawyer , being of the opinion that Mervyn is clearly deranged, suggested that a cease and desist would cause him to post even more outrageous accusations.
Then I woud be obliged to go to law causing me to spend money not all of which would be recovered when the case was found in my favour.
Additionally if damages were awarded there was doubt that Merv could pay.
Lastly, were his multiple postings doing me any actual damage that I could demonstrate, or were such readers as he has perfectly aware that he is a nut job, fruit loop and many bricks short of a load.
I detect no damage only frustration at being unfairly targeted. Maybe Merv's brain will explode soon.

Another nasty post from Peter Moore of radio caroline attacking Mervyn follows, and is copied and pasted directly from Dave Martins pirate PUBLIC forum. Surely this sort of constant PUBLIC character assasination of Mervyn Hagger is ILLEGAL?? I'm sure it's now classed as a libellouos form of GBH, not tolerated these days. Mervyn Hagger MUST notify Ofcom of this constant abuse from Peter Moore, and the right outcome would be to revoke the caroline licence to end Peter Moore's constant public Mevyn Hagger MUST formally send in a complaint to Ofcom to end this constant heckling abuse and unfair character assasinations of Mevyn Hagger.The Peter Moore post fllows :-

Posted by Peter Moore on 5/8/2023, 13:20:30, in reply to "Re: Time to be scrapped!"
Yeah, I found the comments.

He did not take long to do precisely what I predicted, only that in this case one is expected to believe that an unnamed person who is hundreds of miles away from Merv and has neither met nor spoken with him none the less broadly agrees with him ( I think ).
The comments cannot come from Genie Baskir for as Mervy himself tells us he had an intense ( but platonic ) with the person. Nor can it be Eric Gilder ( Professor Emeritus of the University of Ongo Tongo )
Merv has also forgotten that he told us that Caroline Brooks was his own alter ago and not a real and separate person.

My legal interview cost me a couple of hundred quid, but I learned a few legal terms of value such as ' Mad as a fuckin box of frogs M'Lud '

Another nasty post attacking Mervyn Hagger on a PUBLIC forum.follows this. Notice how More gloats and constantly taunts Mervyn, saying Mervyn is "insanely jealous" of his (Moore's) huge achievements in having the radio caroline station, and Mervyn has achieved nothing, and will be continuosly rejected. This is LEGALLY classed as long term harrasment by Moore, and the BEST way to end this constant attack on Mervyn is to get Ofcom to cancel Moore's caroline communiy station licence. Then, Moore would have nothing to cajole Mervyn about, and so nicely ends Moore's 5 plus years of libellous character assasination attacks on Mervyn Hagger. Simply go onto Ofcoms website, and file a complaint in the community broadcasting section against Peter Moore's abuse of his Ofcom granted licence. It's as easy as that to do.

Well,

They say that the difference between Americans and British is that if an American sees a man driving a brand new Lincoln Continental he thinks ' Wow what do I have to do to get a car like that ?'

If a Brit sees a man driving a new Rolls Royce he thinks ' Why should that man have a Rolls Royce when I don't have one ? How do I get it taken away from him ?'

Merv was obsessed with Radio London and then with Radio Caroline and as he could not become part of either I guess he wants to see Caroline fail so he can say ' Well I don't have it, but by my actions I have destroyed it '.

When we just keep on keeping on, his fury builds and builds. Maybe we will fail to save Ross Revenge but any such failure will have nothing to do with sad Merv.

Spotted on a public forum today (23rd August 2023) additional remarks from Peter Moore continuuing to attack Mervyn Hagger. The ONLY way for Mervyn to stop Peter Moore's personal attacks on Mervyn is to supply this and the other nemerous slanderous public forum posts as evidence to Ofcom. Revoking the caroline licence is the right (and best) way to put and end to these obsessional personal attacks on Mervyn by Peter Moore. A copy of more posts defaming Mervyn folows this-----

Maybe you would wish to expand on that comment thus enabling me to reply properly such as what it is that you think I took from Ronan.
Unlike the ' researcher ' Mervyn Hagger I don't have a blanket downer on O'Rahilly but as the years went by I could not help but see some negative aspects of the man.
I wonder if you live in Gateshead, but that would be pure speculation as is your comment.

In 2006 after softening me up by praising my long term efforts, he switched to blagging me in to putting 50% of the supporters money in to a Lichtenstein company under his remote control. When I refused, his anger was frightening.

Maybe Ronan O'Rahilly was trying to recover some of what you took from him?
