One of my former friends, who is a mason and a retired police officer, wrote to me via a joint friend, to inform me that he had intelligence that a group of thugs were planning to amputate my fingers. They were also planning to attack those that they perceived are close to me, including my parents who are both in their late 70s. John Stevens, the housing benefits fraudster and State-Aid fantasist, had whipped them up to a frenzy. A coma, or acid rendering me blind, would have been considered a good result. Any attack on my frail parents would have inevitably led to their death.

Given that the information came from a very credible source, who has contacts in police intelligence, there was no doubt in my mind that they meant business. All of their number had police records; some had been inside. An alibi had been set up where the stewards of their local Rangers supporters club would swear that they had been there all evening. The dix was cast.

I ordinarily would not be cowed by bullies, but when I was informed that Police Scotland would look away, or may even join in on the attack, I knew that I and others close to me were at serious risk.

I gave up my job and relocated to the Far East. Donations currently keep belly from backbone. The pedants who read this site will be quick to point out that I aspired to run this site full-time. However I had not aspired to be in such an invidious position and as donations currently stand, meeting bills as they fall due will be a struggle.
