From david ickes site.
So why wasn't the Conservative Party treasurer in the Thatcher era equally 'horrendously shocked', and why didn't he therefore sue, when similar allegations involving North Wales children's homes were published by Scallywag magazine in the 1990s and he was the subject of a banner headline to that effect - and more?
I don't understand. The Scallywag article could not have been more explicit. And why does he say that it was an 'horrendous shock' to hear these allegations when similar ones have been published before and he did NOTHING?
McAlpine was an extremely rich man and in the 1990s he was an even more prominent public figure. He could have put Scallywag out of business if he had showed in court that its allegations were not true and this would have nailed the allegations for good and stopped them circulating on the Internet ever since (without a single challenge from 'me Lord'). The same with Margaret Thatcher aide and speechwriter, Derek 'me' Laud.
McAlpine says he is seeking damages from all and bloody sundry now and yet did nothing when the same allegations were made by Scallywag all those years ago. So please, Lord McAlpine, credibly explain why you didn't.
In the light of this, I trust the currently trembling jelly fish of the chattering classes are going to grow a backbone?

If you come in this direction demanding money, guest house owner, you can shove it, McAlpine.
I'll see you in court first. Laud and many others in the Thatcher years can clear their diary.
P.S. By the way, you have said that you only visited Wrexham once in your 70 years and never stayed overnight - but how many times have you visited Chester 13 miles away? Could you clarify that, Lord McAlpine, just out of interest?
Thank you.
