10) Support for a lie?

 

Mr Stephen Theaker, ex Chair of the British Fantasy Society, has made a number of silly comments supporting Muriel Gray. His most recent [Dec 2010] is;-

“Muriel Grey somehow resists the temptation to throw Geoff Widders in a grinder...”…

Normally I would not concern myself with comments that are clearly biased and which carry no element of truth, but, as the recording of Muriel Gray telling her lies to the audience was made at the annual convention of the BFS and Mr Theaker is a member of that society, then I have to wonder about the following;-

How can anybody support Muriel Gray in this instance? – a rich, powerful and successful person who, instead of allowing examination of the simple question, “Which book was written first?” chose to conceal her lies and insults, employing a team of lawyers to protect her from having to appear in court.

My website hewasanutter.com remains on the internet, its pages including, “3) Muriel Gray lied to the audience” are pre-eminent in any search for her famous name. If I had stated a single word that was not true would such a famous person as Muriel Gray allow a site carrying such statements to exist?

Every page of my website carries my “Undertaking”;-

“If there is anything that I have stated on this site that is not correct, if Muriel Gray or HarperCollins contact me and provide the evidence or counter argument to show that I am not correct, then I will remove that material and publish an apology.”

Although Ms Gray's legal team have monitored the site on a monthly basis since March 2010 they have not communicated a single word to me regarding this matter – contrast that inaction with the efforts they took to suppress my Small Claim;-

• I issued a claim in the Small Claims Court [view it here] asking that the court rule upon which book was written first. Instead of answering that claim Ms Gray's lawyers tried to have it thrown out, a District Judge ruled that my claim must progress.

• Ms Gray's lawyers appealed - a Circuit Judge, HHJ Reid (after two court hearings) ruled that my claim must progress – with no leave to appeal.

• Notwithstanding the "no leave to appeal" ruling, Ms Gray's lawyers appealed to the High Court – where Mr Justice Roth spoke of the need to protect “famous people” - finally Ms Gray's legal team had succeeded in having my claim struck out.

• Mr Justice Roth's decision had denied me the right to establish in court that Muriel Gray had lied when she went public and informed an audience that my book was written "long after" hers.

• Muriel Gray also had her lie posted on the internet - where it remains.

My website states numerous times that Ms Gray lied. Surely that is of far more importance to someone of Ms Gray's standing than a Small Claim that seeks to establish the dates of her and my work?

I informed HarperCollins that she had, “stolen my story ”, Ms Gray stated that my book is, “practically the double” of her book, she lied that my book was written “long after” hers. Why did she lie? - Ms Gray is aware of my extensive allegations, I recorded those allegations in full to HarperCollins. Knowing that any claim to the courts is fraught with difficulty and knowing of the vastly superior resources of Ms Gray, I refrained from any full-blown legal action – however the matter of the dates appeared absolutely straightforward. That was until I found that “public figures” need protecting.

Mr Justice Roth gave the legal team what they had been seeking to do – protect their client from having to appear in court and answer my claim – that closed the only legal option that I felt able to undertake. I then submitted the matter to public opinion by means of the internet. I will update and add to the site as and when necessary. I have continued to state that any further information that relates to any of these matters will be most welcomed.

My undertaking If there is anything that I have stated on this site that is not correct; if Muriel Gray, Harper Collins, Browne Jacobson, or any person(s) mentioned in these pages, contacts me and provides the evidence or counter argument to show that I am not correct, or... if there is anything that I have stated that anybody believes misrepresents them in any way, if they provide me with their arguments... then, if necessary, I will consider removing the material, and/or publish a correction, and/or apologise. If I do not hear anything (nobody has complained to me since I set up this site in March 2010) then I can only assume the accuracy of everything on this site, and that nobody has been misrepresented in any way.
