You Are Constantly Lied To...

28/5/2025

Once upon a time far right meant Fascists & Nazi's. Those stupid people still exist & I agree they are bad news, just as far left Marxists and their cancel culture is bad news.

The reality is that as the UK has no constitution for it's native citizens and archaic laws, still centered around the monarchy (and society of the past) are deemed more important than individual freedoms today. The simple reality is that the state silences and falsely labels the most vocal challengers to the current status quo (not the tired old rock band).

Case study in point, your Prime Minister versus all the people in prison for saying the 'wrong things' even if it was just in the heat of the moment and plainly stupid. However when the stupid rule the world what else would you expect?

Who can overrule who?

Can our judges overrule Westminster over deportations

Can their judges overrule West Wing over tariffs

In a "National Emergency" who is really ruling who

PS F what its worth I think the tariff thing is mostly BS

E.G. A digital Bofang from China has not gone up 10% it's 30%+ at point of sale

The argument for encouraging more national manufacturing is rubbish because the buying nation (ours and others) cannot compete on raw materials and production costs

Result less are bought and less work for UK importers from the shipping to the shops to the post office to do

This is not a tax break this is effectively a tax increase

Trump reckons he's such a historian. Tariffs did have economic benefit many many years ago when production of a knife was an anvil and iron. There is a good bit about this in Joshua Slocomb's great voyage around the world in the 33ft sloop John B book. I will look it out and find it. But technology has moved on so much, work and currency and movement of citizens that although I am a Great MAGA supporter from UK, I think the tariff game is a Zero sum busted flush

Splash the Zeros. It's the final countdown to a future back to front world

Great TV huh though Press Guys and preddy girls?

WCSO urged people to "avoid the area due to the potential of bees escaping and swarming", and initially said 250 million bees were loose.

After receiving information from one of the beekeepers doing recovery work, it said that a more accurate total was considerably lower and closer to 14 million.

"The plan is to allow the bees to re-hive and find their queen bee," WCSO said.

Authorities said they hoped this would happen "within the next 24-48 hours".

In an update posted to social media later on Friday, police thanked "the wonderful community of beekeepers", saying "over two dozen" had turned up to help with rescue efforts.

REALLY HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN IN PRACTICE THEN???

"By morning, most bees should have returned to their hives," WCSO wrote on Facebook.

BY MORNING MOST EU UK NORMALS LIKE ME WILL HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR BEDS AFTER BEING REASSURED THE WORLD IS SAFE BY WATCHING REPLYS OF FOX TV AND THE WONDERFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP

Footage shared by police showed huge numbers of bees swarming around the overturned lorry. OFF! MSNBC CRAP

While some beekeepers aim only to produce honey, many others rent out their hives to farmers who need the insects to pollinate their crops.

1961 - Ronan O'Rahilly arrived in London, England from Dublin, Ireland. He started work at the El Condor Club on Wardour Street in Soho which was equally owned by Peter Rachman and his business partner Raymond Nash.
On November 29, 1962, Peter Rachman died and Raymond Nash took over total control and renamed it La Discotheque. Ronan O’Rahilly became a stand-in manager.

The key to understanding what really took place between between January 1959 and March 1968, is by creating a timeline without gaps, and tracking the movements of any and all 'key players' in this story.

This means cross-referencing documentation showing points of origin and establishing authenticity. This includes extending foundational elements back in time to document steps taken that resulted in the secret creation of Radio Caroline.

It is by unmasking the element of secrecy which reveals that a story of limited interest about pop culture during the so-called 'Swinging Sixties', is in fact a bizarre geo-political story that attaches itself to the lives of millions of people alive today.

If the true events that took place yesterday remain unknown today, then all actions that are taken today and based upon a false knowldge of yesterday, can only result in disasters tomorrow.

The problem with secrecy is that it necessitates the invention of lies. But to unmask one lie by revealing one truth only leads to revealing that more lies exist that also need to be exposed by additional revelations of truth. It is akin to pulling on a lose thread only to discover that the garment that it is attached to, has now disappeared into a jumble of wool. In this instance, that 'jumble' becomes an uncatagorized collection of dates, names and places lacking a subject matter to relate them to.

That is why the story of 'Radio Caroline' is composed of two versions:

One is true, and one is false.

The fake storyline follows the lives of Ronan O'Rahilly and Ian Cowper Ross, and to a lesser degree, Christopher Moore, but there are others. These people are part of 'The Palimpsest Hoax' intended to divert attention from the real story. It is the fake version which began to flood the marketplace after 1990 when Ian Cowper Ross and the BBC-TV began a publishing and broadcasting campaign of deception. Until then, the name of 'Radio Caroline' had become a matter of only dim recall, if that, to the majority of people.

So it is now necessary, to not only reveal what 'The Palimpsest Hoax' was concealing, but to unmask the people and their motives for creating it.

Check out http://www.allaboutradiocaroline.co.uk/ to see a picture of the die cast pin which unlocked a riddle of deception.

Mervyn Hagger's Web page refers me to here to comment on content, so here I am.

He has published a graphic which includes a Pye-Ling lapel badge, and states that:

"The reason why the Pye Group of Companies entered into a partnership with the LTV Group of Companies, is because the M.V. Bon Jour (later called Magda Maria, and then Mi Amigo), was outfitted with LTV Continental Electronics transmitters which had been shipped from Dallas to New York where they were disassembled, and then shipped to Europe."

However, the reason for Pye's association is evidenced here:

https://www.pye-story.org/companies/research-section/pye-ling

Note that the Pye-Ling logo is as per the badge, which was produced to promote the joint venture, in the field of vibration testing, not radio.

This, of course, does not mean that there was not another 'undercover' venture to supply transmitters, but the lapel badge is unrelated to it.

Andrew, you are acting as an apologist for the deluge of anorak lies let lose after 1990 by Ian Cowper Ross.

You failed to mention the censored IEE Radio Man paragraph that began this investigation years ago, or our PUBLISHED expose years ago with the help of Chris Edwards of OEM who found the evidence with me. But then he got scared by what he discovered (because it debunked anorak lies told by Ronan O'Rahilly). He claimed that I would not find the Bednall evidence, but I did. Even the recreated 'Pye' web site you cited (it is NOT the authentic company web site!), does not know the significance!

But what I uncovered is the DIRECT link from PYE to Continental Electronics. This is all being published bit by bit in a variety of academic publications - not fan magazines, and it will be republished in book form.

Andrew you are clutching to a sinking ship called Anorak Lies.

By trying to undermine what has now been exposed, you are either going to drown in total disappointment, or join members of the Flat Earth Sociey, belief in the Piltdown Man, or Men Did Not Land on The Moon Club.

All because the reality of Malcolm Smith and Ray Clark's mantras are now a part of who you are as a totally deceived individual: Once an anorak, always an anorak.

Get real Andrew.

Pye-Ling Ltd was the partner of LTV-Ling Ltd.

LTV owned Continental Transmitters.

Pye-Ling was a new combo name for SEVERAL merged Pye companies - but NONE of them were named Pye!

One of them moved into the former HM docklands at Sheerness where the GBOK lightship tied up at the wharf outside that Pye warehouse!

Alfred Thomas, ex-top BBC engineer then worked for Pye. Thomas hired ex-BBC man John Gilman and ex-Marconi man George Saunders.

Thomas worked on the Mi Amigo at Greenore with ex-CIA man Milan Leggett - who even appears on the Grenada TV 'World in Action' program.

Allan Crawford was the diversion. The GPO knew nothing about Radio Caroline Ltd fronted by Jocelyn Stevens - until he revealed himself.

The LTV transmitters and a generator were installed on the Fredericia at Rotterdam, and the ship was going to be taken to the Isle of Wight for Harry Spencer to install the radio mast.

But a tip-off said that because Allan Crawford had his proto-radioship THV Satellite moored there, the GPO which knew all about it, would pounce on the Fredericia. So a last minute switch was made with help from Allan Crawford to Greenore.

Charles Orr Stanley who built the Pye cartel was an Irishman with companies on BOTH sides of the Irish border.

Ronan O'Rahilly came to London in 1961 and worked for Rachman and his mate started 'The Scene' club (not O'Rahilly was a mere bagman for London crooks.

Pye pulled out after October 15, 1964 and the New York Jewish/Italian Mafia took over 'Radio Caroline' via Morris Levy and Phil Solomon until March 1968.

The it was all over and 'Radio Caroline' was gone for ever.

Anything calling itself 'Radio Caroline' after 1968 was and is a joke using a name to fool anoraks into donating money.

AgB and others all want to know the true story about Radio Caroline, so here is an overview ..... http://www.allaboutradiocaroline.co.uk/

Mervyn Hagger

8/6/2025 01:29:02 pm

This is in response to the referral by Andrew Holmes to https://www.pye-story.org/companies/research-section/pye-ling .

That page was created by "several ex-Pye employees, some of whom are members of the Pye History Trust (registered charity number 1162310), the Pye Foundation (registered charity number 267851) and some are Volunteers at the Cambridge Museum of Technology."

The Pye History Trust was created on 19 Jun 2015. The page cited by Andrew Holmes was created on October 4, 2021.

Our specific line of research with Chris Edwards of OEM began after reading the IEE book 'Radio Man' - a few days before Saturday, October 25, 2014,

Our oiginal findings were published in the Spring 2021 Journal of the Communications Museum at Burntisland, Fife, Scotland.

At that time the Pye History Trust knew nothing about Pye-Ling Ltd., and nothing about LTV-Ling, Inc., and therefore nothing about Pye and LTV Continental Electronics Transmitters.

Pye as a cartel went bust in 1996, and then disappeared after being gobbled up by Phillips.

Until very recently we could not find the connection.

Chris Edwards who found the original document which had been deliberately twisted to hide the true story about Pye - well, he gave up.

No one knew how the pieces fit together until I discovered the story about Pye-Ling Ltd and bought that die cast logo pin, and that was very recently.

I now know what Crawford tried conceal, about Smedly's other company, about the murder of Calvert, how O'Rahilly came to work for London gangsters, and all about Carolyn Caird.

Anoraks did not know any of this until I began revealing the story.

Rusling stole what he thought was all of my research.

Ray Clark is an ego idiot who still knows nothing.

Malcolm Smith is just a freeloader living off pension contributions made by his own cult members.

So Andrew, everyone is getting the true story from us, with the help of Mike!

8/6/2025 09:18:17 pm

Well! Thank you for your three responses. I do feel that some if your comments are personally insulting and unjustified, and you have not addressed my ONLY point, which was to make you aware of how and why the lapel badge in your possession was created. It is blatantly obvious from the identical logo on both the badge and the Pye-Ling documents. All I'm saying is that the badge cannot be attributed to the clandestine operations to which you refer, and if you wish to engage in any discussion may I suggest that you be little more civil.

More destruction of the "Head in the Sand Man" - Andrew Holmes:

Andrew wrote: "Note that the Pye-Ling logo is as per the badge, which was produced to promote the joint venture, in the field of vibration testing, not radio."

Well, you note this, Andrew, and tell your fellow looney Anoraks:

The Pye Historical Trust was created AFTER I threatened to expose the Curator of the satellite Science Museum at Bradford as a CENSOR - if he did not release the Pye files still stored in boxes and getting mouldy with damp.

I knew this after tracking down Jane Bednall, daughter of the man who designed everthing for Charles Orr Stanley. His grandson interviewed Alan Bednall for the IEE book 'Radio Man'. He spent ALMOST 100 THOUSAND POUNDS TO PRODUCE THAT BOOK TO HIDE THE TRUTH ABOUT RADIO CAROLINE!

After more pressure from me, the grandson told me that Bradford now had all of the Pye files. Bradford then told me that they had NOT cataloged them, and that they only had ONE intern helper on their staff named Ian Baird who could retrieve those boxes. Guess what? They sacked Ian Baird!

Ian will excuse his dismissal as a "budget cut".

I say, "HA! - pull the other one."

With the help of Chris Edwards of Offshore Echos magazine, and more BULLYING by me - Bradford gave in and began shipping one uncataloged box a month to a former RAF base near Swindon. Chris began making visits.

Just as he was about to give up he found Alan Bednall's original interview which had been twisted out of all recognition for the IEE book Radio Man.

Jane Bednall says that her dad, now deceased, NEVER saw the IEE manuscript and he NEVER got his orginal documents back! Jane Bednall is furious for how her dad was used and ABUSED.

Then Bradford tried to cover its tracks and published a web page about Pye that did NOT include our discoveries.

Out of that came the Pye Historical Trust which originally knew NOTHING about Pye-Ling.

Then I published my expose of the IEE book Radio Man in the Journal of the Burntisland Museum of Communications - but I still did not know how LTV Continental Electronics linked with Pye. I published all this on the Garry Stevens Board and then, Malcolm Smith, Ray Clark and Paul Rusling got Garry Stevens to CENSOR me and overnight - without warning, I was BANNED!

So MIKE started his own Board - this one - because I was sharing all our discoveries with Mike by email!

Now Andrew, this is where "the other shoe drops" and you look even MORE STUPID for supporting Malcolm, Ray and Paul ....

Those merged VIBRATION companies you mention that were owned by Pye - but not under the Pye name until they became Pye-Ling Ltd - included record company manufacturing that made VIBRATING LOUDSPEAKERS!

Now Andrew, guess where Swanson's GBOK ex-lightship tied-up at Sheerness? Well, what do you know? It was right outside one wall of the PYE-LING operation!

Guess who ex-BBC engineer Alfred Thomas went to work for? Charles Orr Stanley, that's who!

Stanley owned and managed PYE with his son John, and guess what Stanley told Thomas? Go and see Allan Crawford.

Craword was buying the THV Satellite on a mortgage - to become a radio ship called 'Radio Atlanta'. Project Atlanta Limited had not even been formed.

The LTV Continental Electronics transmitters were installed at Rotterdam on the Fredericia and Harry Spencer's mast was going to be installed on the Isle of Wight - but the GPO knew all about Crawford's THV Satellite, and they were ready to pounce, so the Caroline venture to Greenore.

It was Thomas who recruited John Gilman and George Saunders. But you wonder, how did Crawford link with Jocelyn Stevens and Greenore?

Where does useful fool Ronan O'Rahilly fit in?

Well, Andrew, in due course it will all be spelled out in the part-work called YesterKey. In the meantime, run as fast as possible from the anorak fraudsters led by Malcolm Smith and propped-up by his LYING henchmen, Ray Clark and Paul Rusling!

First, thank Mike for publishing this information!

Andrew

9/6/2025 10:55:18 pm

And all that you say may well be true. I did not dispute anything you have said apart from the reason for the production of the badge. I reiterate that my only point is that the lapel badge logo matches that of Pye-Ling's original documents regarding Proof of Airworthiness and the collaboration in the field of vibration and fatigue testing. It's there in black and white - and colour!

Just for the record, I am no anorak, I do not have my head in the sand, I merely point out ONE FACT, and do not expect a personal attack as a result.

I would have quite liked to assist with research but you appear to be someone who is difficult to work with.

An afterthought for Andrew with a compliment.

Compliment: You use a real name. Whether it is your real name, how old you are and where you are, is another matter.

If you think I am brash, you are correct. I had to BULLY many people into telling the truth. (Read my comments about Bradford.)

Anoraks lie and steal - just like the BBC. All this about the Sixties was DEAD until Ian Cowper Ross, Bob Geldof and BBC brought to life in 1990 with series of lies.

Then along came Rusling, Ray Clark and Malcolm Smith.

The real story in detail has yet to be told. If you really want to help, begin by challenging the rubbish that is out there.

Write to Mike, I share a LOT of information with him. I know who he is and where he lives and I do my best to only have praise for his honesty.

That could be you, Andrew, but first at least read what I have written for you to read.

Andrew Holmes

11/6/2025 08:38:46 pm

Really? So this is lies then?

"Mervyn Hagger sent snippets of information from George Saunders who said that A. N. Thomas, the BBC's Head of Planning and Installation Department, retired from a lifetime of BBC service around 1960 and began advising the embryonic offshore stations such as VRN, CNBC and GBOK (Lady Dixon). He seems to have equipped the Lady Dixon with an old BBC 5kW Marconi transmitter (Photo 1362) while the ship was 'stuck in the mud' at Pitsea. The GPO who were monitoring every move, then pounced and removed all the equipment."

Andrew Holmes

12/6/2025 07:32:42 am

Just one more thing, as Columbo might say.

If Lady Dixon did not have a transmitter (despite your documented contention that it did), then your tentative Sheerness dockside 'evidence' is irrelevant. You're tying yourself in knots trying to bang square pegs into round holes.....again

Andrew Holmes

12/6/2025 07:41:23 am

According to Roy Barrett, Swanson bought a Marconi 5 kilowatt transmitter from Z & I Aero Services in London. It may or may not have been fitted, but that's what was to be used, so nothing to do with Oye or any of it's associated companies whatsoever.

Mevyn Hagger

12/6/2025 08:23:44 am

Our own investigation into the relationship between Pye and Radio Caroline involved Chris Edwards of OEM magazine.

This is from our files, note the date!

On March 17, 2017, in an email from Mervyn Hagger to co-investigator Chris Edwards, the following statement appears: "I can't help wonder how to explain the obvious US CE equipment on the Fredericia ...."

The answer came in the form of the Pye-Ling pin as described by Alan Bednall.

Another pin read 'LTV-Ling' and research into the story of LTV revealed the involvement of Continental Electronics and the story of William Branch and Captain Plugge .... and a whole lot more.

The fact is that the British branch of Pye-Ling involved a loudspeaker and sonar manufacturer, and both link to the origins of Radio Nord on board the vessel that was renamed Mi Amigo.

Ronan O'Rahilly NEVER played a big part in the story of Radio Caroline, he was only a stooge, a patsy, like Lee Harvey Oswald - who also showed up in England before he arrived in Sweden, ahead of O'Rahilly showing up in England.

1. Only Andrew seems to have the courage to identify himself.
2. Trying to respond to pea brains who cannot identify themselves, is extremely difficult. Even Rusling, Clark and Smith/Moore identify themselves.
3. The idiot who wrote under 'GBOK' quoted mere hearsay which has now been debunked. It is by looking for authentication that the entire CRIMINAL track record came to light. Strangely Swanson was exposed by the US press BEFORE the Swanson story began anew in the UK, but the UK press ignored it. We will be reprinting it. George Saunders, it turns out, knew zilch except for one tip that he did not understand, and that had to do with PsyOps.
4. Our investigation into the Sheerness operation is well documented. On that score, it was George Saunders who sent me the BBC employee's Obituary of Alfred Thomas. But George did not notice that it reported that Thomas left BBC and went to work for Pye. (George as a junior who worked for Marconi, and not BBC.)
5. Andrew, you quoted more hearsay: "According to Roy Barrett, Swanson bought a Marconi 5 kilowatt transmitter from Z & I Aero Services in London." Yes, you wrote about Roy Barrett - who YOU never talked to, about what Swanson, a crook, supposedly did. But he didn't he was a crook who used his wife's money for himself. GBOK was a total scam from beginning to end. Swanson came to the UK to escape jail in California and then was sent to prison in Canada.
6. Anoraks, Rusling, Clark and Smith/Moore are scammers.
7. Ronan O'Rahilly was a bag man for London crooks, and that is all.
Not one of you tried to find the truth.
What a useless bunch of fools you anoraks are.

I have just recovered my extensive email to Chris Edwards about GBOK. It is dated Wed 7/10/019.

Since then, Chris chose to drop out and then the missing link to LTV and Continental Electronics was discovered and the Pye story came together, none of it by hearsay, all of it backed by solid documentation.

Now back to GBOK.

John Thompson came back from Canada where he worked for a station - on air, not as an engineer. He nicked his name 'Voice of Slough' from the Rank Organisation who had registered a lot of 'Voice of" stations hoping to get licenses if Pilkington okayed local radio. Pye were offering 'packaged' stations for a fixed price. CBC Radio Cambridge was their on air demo station.

Swanson was a Canadian con man who sold vacuum cleaners in Nevada and then got a commission sales job selling ad time for a local California station.But he ran a swindle and then fled before he was slapped in jail. He married a Canadian shipping heiress but neither his nor her divorce was recognized in Canada. They were sued and lost. They came to England. He got a provisional contract from Her

Mervyn Hagger

14/6/2025 10:13:42 am

I am writing this on a train and a 'bump' sent the first part before I finished.

Wiih the Armstrong contract Swanson teamed up with Thompson and GBOK was born as a swindle.Thompson did not know this.That partnership ended and the tiny VoS project restarted. That is where the junk transmitter came in.

Swanson fled with wife to Canada. More swindels, divorce and prison time followed, and that was the end of Swanson.

Neither VoS or GBOK ever came on the air and Thompson helped to create Radio Invicta, and then complained to the UK Government about KING Radio and Ted Allbuery.

All of this is well documented.

The anorak version is 100% rubbish, or as Texans exclaim: BULLSH*T.

That is documented in official notes. Thompson then showed up on Red Sands Fort. None of this is new, except apparently to you.

I don't know what any relationship between Mr SW3 and Mr Live Aid was but a 1991 (not 1990) BBC Arena Caroline a Pirates Tale was credited to Planet Productions. Apparently this was Bob Geldof's take on the realisation that almost any celebrity fed up with being told what to do could set up a "production company" and effectively have a licence to print money. rather like legal commercial radio in fact

Jonathon Ross, Janet Street Porter, Rory Macrath, etc, etc knew this and did it

The tenuous anorak link is the name Planet, obviously a sign from heaven that Mr SW3 and Mr don't wash his hair wre great Irish mates?

I don't know, maybe maybe not

Charlie Parsons, Oxford literature graduate who had been knocking around since JSP, Network 7 and Club X had a production company called 24 hour a day, financed by his amore, city Bangladeshi smoothie Whalid Ali. Somehow, this merged with Bob's Planet and became Planet 24

Rather amusingly to my feeble mind, there was then sort of 1960's offshore radio parallel of the enfants terrible knocking out ramshackle populist TV programmes, notably The Word and the Big Breakfast, making stars of some and Simon Dees of the others

Eventually after 4 or 5 years of thinking Cool Britannia President Tony Blair owes us. Wahild was given a peerage. Everyone was too grown up to bother about Zoo TV, went onto reality TV which was even more childish and Planet 24 was dissolved and disappeared up it's own arse the same way as Loaded magazine which had an interesting documentary on BBC last November

To surmise, I don't think there is any great conspiracy or divinity over a long forgotten documentary (don't start we know it's a pack of tall tales), made by a production company which has some amusing anorak connotation name with the origins of the station being lampooned

This is not some Jewish Mafia gangster conspiracy. This is just television. Truth is often stranger than fiction and that is doubly so in the case of pirate radio.

BTW does Gordon Brown still wake up to nice Boy Tony Blackburn playing the Arctic Monkeys?

"James James
McGregor McGregor
(Commonly known as Jim)
Told his
Other relations
Not to go blaming him:

"I'm sorry this appears to be total and utter nonsence, and I am not talking about myself here ...."

But you are, Jim!

Bobby Geldof boomed into the world of Greta and began his company named Planet and strayed off course after Ross wrote his book published in 1990 so that Bobby could make his cameo show screened the following year. The key year here, Jim, is 1990. Bobby Shaftus did not snap his fingers and thence it appeared. It took a moment or two in 1990.

"I don't know" begins your next ramble. How right you are, Jim.

"24" came later, Jim, after Bobby's Ian phase. You mix apples with oranges.

Your admission "Rather amusingly to my feeble mind" about your mental condition is correct but you continue ....

"To surmise, I don't think there is any great conspiracy or divinity over a long forgotten documentary (don't start we know it's a pack of tall tales), made by a production company which has some amusing anorak connotation name with the origins of the station being lampooned."

If you know that "it's a pack of tall tales", tell BBC-TV to stop showing lies as truth, and while you are at it. tell Ray Clark and the Pension Robber Smith aka Moore, to shut up. But you continue to write:

"This is not some Jewish Mafia gangster conspiracy. This is just television. Truth is often stranger than fiction and that is doubly so in the case of pirate radio."

No, Jim, truth is truth and pigs still don't fly - except in the minds of anoraks.

James, James, wasn't that Milne poem written for a 6 years old - like Caroline Kennedy (in 1965)?

You can at least add a few more numbers after 6, can't you?

Be honest now.

("Impossible", muttered Jim.)

Bouncing posts off Mike's Board is extremely helpful to me, because apart from the chaff, thought-provoking questions also (unintentionally) appear. Quite often they are posted as rude and insulting comments to my own posts.

But a big thank you to all who respond, and the more arogant they are, the better they are at providing good questions. Because to get good answers, you have to first have good questions that I may not have thought about.

The latest in this series of questions and answers has been about Geldof and 'A Pirate's Tale' shown on BBC-TV in 1991.

Over the last few days I have been investigating the origins of that TV show and its connection to the book by Ian Cowper Ross in 1990.

What I have now uncovered are the missing links in the bogus anorak story, all thanks to the 'rude' comments!

I won't be posting those discoveries here at this time, but I will privately notify Mike by email.

So, keep up your rude comments. Your thought-provoking input is of great help, but not in the way that you intended it to be. In fact, you didn't intend for it to be helpful at all - just insulting.

Watch out - those rude comments will come back to bite you, if you are a rude (and stupid) anorak.

Nonsense!

So you want comments? Your actions say otherwise. You delete comments, turn off comments and block people if they dare to offer another viewpoint, so make your mind up.

I delete rants by annonymous individuals who don't engage in serious conversations and are members of the anorak cult supporting Malcolm Smith.

Unless you are a self-identifying idiot as described above, how would you know?

This is Mike's Board over which I have NO control - unless you are totally bonkers and think that I am Mike. If you are, you probably insist that the world is flat, no one walked on the Moon, and Greta Thunberg is a good looking chick who tells the truth about the climate.

"Good looking chick?"

LOL

Only, in the minds of those who call everyone a sexist.

Maybe she is a trans-racist?

But which way is Greta leaning right now?

Not towards sanity.

Maybe she and Malcolm should get together and celebrate the windmill on Rough Tower?

All annonymous posters should join them there.

That's no use to us. Mike isn't our dad? We want it in book form for all of us over 6 to read

You can read can't you Mervyn
