BENNETT LECTURES HARLOW STAR *AND SMIFFY*

Re: Harlow Star covers the McCanns' application to put me in jail

The Harlow Star has published this letter from me in full tonight (8 Nov):

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Letter to the editor for publication

Dear Editor,

Your report (‘Lawyer back in court over McCann claims’, Star, 1 November) omitted to state the key element of my defence against claims I broke court undertakings.

As is widely known, the original senior detective in the case, Dr Goncalo Amaral, published a book in 2008 setting out his views on the case. It’s a book on which I base my views of what happened. It’s also widely known that the McCanns successfully banned his book at court hearings in September 2009 and January 2010 in Lisbon.

But what is not so well known is that the ban on Dr Amaral’s book was lifted by the Portuguese Appeal Court in October 2010. The McCanns appealed unsuccessfully to the Portuguese Supreme Court against the unbanning of his book in March 2011. In both cases, costs were awarded against the McCanns. These two courts were very clear: they said it was a breach of his rights to freedom of expression and speech, under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, to continue the ban on his book.

So his book has been on sale again in Portugal for over two years. But much more than that, his book has been translated into nine European languages and has sold a million copies in over two dozen countries.

The current position is that people in Britain can’t read Dr Amaral’s book in English because no publisher will take the risk of publishing it, so long as Britain retains its oppressive libel laws.

Finally, it wasn’t correct to state, referring to the 16 undertakings I gave to the McCanns and the court, that ‘three have been broken’; that remains for the court to decide after they have heard my defence.

Yours sincerely

Tony Bennett

=======================

He's clearly never heard the old saying about the folly of doing it on your own doorstep. They must be in stitches reading that.

Everyone else is.

The man is a fool!

It’s a book on which I base my views of what happened.

Isn't he just?

Ah well, he cannot say he wasn't warned. I do hope he remembers all those people who were abused on the forum which isn't his, when they tried to point out that he was plain and simply wrong, when the judge bangs his gavel down.

I do hope he thanks all his houndercult for insulting anyone who tried to point out his errors, thanks them for calling so many people TROLLS!!!!, when he is writing out that very large cheque.

And most of all, I hope he thanks Gonc, for costing him everything.

And failed to mention that The Book hasn't yet been deemed to be Libellous, or not.

I know I shouldn't be surprised at anything he does, but I am stunned that he wrote that. I should think the Star left it out to spare his blushes - he sounds like some teenage girl writing about Justin Beiber, gushing about Gonc like that.

What has a money making book got to do with anything anyway? No one has even been arrested, so what the hell does Bennett think he is talking about?
Some arsehole wrote a book, after he was sacked for incompetence. Gee Whizz. Stroll on.

And the author of the book Bennett is pinning his future on now boasts a criminal conviction for LYING, and MAKING FALSE ALLEGATIONS.

His words are worthless.

Nice company Bennett's keeping - he seems strangely drawn to criminal types.

You know what they say, Bonny. 'Birds of a feather...........'

Bennett gives more evidence of his obsession with people who, unlike him, are successful - and makes a total plonker of himself yet again:

Brian Kennedy, no longer a Rangers fan, now a Hibernian supporter
Tony Bennett Today at 10:27 am

Having failed to secure control of Rangers Football Club, despite a sustained campaign, McCann-backer Brian Kennedy now wants to control Hibernian Football Club:

As he now wants to rescue Hibs, we are informed that Kennedy was born in Edinburgh and has apparently been a lifelong Hibernian supporter

==============



Speaks volumes about his 'research' that he can't even get that right - it's Hearts that are in need of rescue.

That's Hearts who are deadly rivals of Hibs.

Still, when did Bennett ever let little things like 'facts' and 'accuracy' stand in his way?

Geez, any judge looking at that will say, Bennett is malicious and jealous!

And can't be bothered to check anything to make sure it's accurate, Tony.

Confusing Hibs and Hearts is like confusing the Hatfields and McCoys.

Nice one, Tony.

Dear me! So, Bennett was one of those spreading those stories Lord McAlpine is so angry about? And stating the allegations were fact?

Oh my very dear!

That is typical class act research from the head hounder himself. Priceless.

The title couldn't be clearer:

Hearts could get help from Blue Knight Brian Kennedy

That's, like, Hearts, the Edinburgh team that ISN'T Hibs.

First class research from the Head Hounder Researcher In Chief, Bennett.

I hope Bennett reads that and takes heed.

We should not be saying that all the juiciest details can be found online, but that too much of the internet is the domain of untruth and ephemera, a digital toilet cubicle wall.

Who was it who was directing traffic to some particularly nasty trash about Lord McAlpine? Oh yes, it was Bennett.

Who started most of the rubbish and then took it into the real world. Oh yes, it was Bennett.

Who has a date with the court? Oh yes, it is Bennett.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bennett was collateral damage in the fallout from this fiasco, Sabot? Think anyone - like, say, a judge - is going to be in any mood to tolerate internet carp after this?

No, me neither.

Oh, and Rebelo's fantastic new appointment will be yet more bad news for Bennett and the rest of the Gonc cult. Nothing's going right for them, is it?

OMG. How inopportune. That's Bennett's defence down the drain.

Oh dear. So it is.

Nothing's going right for him, is it? And his idol Gonc will be chewing carpets about Senhor Rebelo's fantastic new post.

It's as if the pair of them are cursed, or something.
