JB's Claims Published In Maldon Standard

[Nicholas]

I've emailed Wendy Brading:


Dear Wendy,

I am contacting you with regards a recent news story published about Jeremy Bamber.

http://www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/16178432.Convicted_killer_asks_for_evidence_to_be_disclosed_to_allow_for_third_appeal/

The article doesn't say who published it however I'm aware you have followed and reported on the Jeremy Bamber case for over 3 decades.

You may recall some years back we spoke on the phone in relation to the Simon Hall case. It's because of my experiences with Simon hall that I decided to contact you.

It turned out he was most probably a psychopath who groomed and conned me, along with many others.

In one of your articles in July 2016 you stated;

"Truth and transparency are fundamental and journalists must combine being creative with being informative.
At some points over the years, journalism lost its way a little and, to a degree, the public’s respect. However, I am still a profound believer that journalism is a force for good.
It is a cornerstone of democracy and justice. It holds the powers that be to account, it strives for transparency and exposes wrong-doing. One of its greatest assets is to give people a voice.

You've also published an article about controlled and abused women and I wondered why it appears you've yet to join the dots in relation to Julie Mugford? This could have been written for her when she went to the police all those years ago.

"But these women have found that ounce of strength and courage they need to break free from their abusers."

Come on Wendy let's have some truthful and transparent reporting, not this one sided bias attempting to portray Jeremy Bamber as a victim, when its quite obvious he and Simon Hall could have been cut from the same cloth. Both men are abusers who strive for power and control over their victims no matter the cost.

This is the kind of wrong doing that needs exposing.

Prisoners like Jeremy Bamber have more rights than their victims, as I came to learn to my detriment.

Yours sincerely,

Open Email: Adam Cornell News Editor Maldon Standard



Dear Adam,

I am forwarding you an email I sent to Wendy Brading yesterday regarding convicted mass murderer Jeremy Bamber.

Following yet more false claims made by Bamber it seems your paper has deemed it newsworthy?

Jeremy Bamber is quite clearly a psychopath. He manipulates and exploits people to do his bidding; that includes journalists. Not that long ago one of Bamber's victims (previously a supporter) claimed to have almost been conned out of a large sum of money. Why doesn't Wendy Brading include some of these facts in her articles?

I was manipulated and exploited by Simon Hall, who like Jeremy Bamber, managed to con many journalists, the prison service, and all associated agencies. He even conned the then Secretary of State in 2012 to sign a Guittard application, bypassing the parole board, who deemed him suitable for early transfer to the open prison estate.

He subsequently confessed to the murder having been sexually motivated, which the original police investigation had originally focused on.

At this point you would have thought the prison service and all associated agencies would have carried out a review in order to establish how they had been conned by a prisoner who was clearly dangerous and disordered, but no such review occurred.

Following Hall's confession to murder, the then National Offenders Management Service (NOMS) now Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service failed to review or act on his prison status. He died a D-Cat prisoner.

After Simon Hall's suicide in 2014, disclosure material suggested NOMS could not intervene in relation to his immediate risk to me, or others, until a formal complaint had been received. I was hardly in any state at that time to call for a judicial review; like in the John Worboy's case.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/parole-board-statement-following-decision-of-judicial-review-in-the-case-of-john-worboys

Jeremy Bamber should be forced to have a brain scan in order to establish once and for all his quite apparent psychopathic traits.

Have you or your newspaper any idea how much men like Jeremy Bamber cost our society, and I do not just refer to monetary costs but the human cost.

Yours sincerely,

[Nicholas]

No she definitely isn’t Claire Powell. Wendy also has a Twitter acccount and I think Poppy Miller is in regular contact with her as they live in the same area. As you know Poppy is one of Jeremy’s staunchest supporters.

Wendy may have known Jeremy from the past which is why she reports on his case or it may be that she only does so because of the local connection to the case.

They aren't the only 2 from that area Daisy http://www.jeremybambertestimony.co.uk/barbara-death

Barbara De'ath appears to think because Bamber couldn't have circled along the sea wall, he's innocent? Do these supporters not understand it's a THEORY put forward? 

"The Speakman’s being one of the biggest landowners in the area were a wealthy family equal to Royalty in Maldon

[Daisy]

Did you speak with the Governor?

Did you write to the Minstry of Justice or phone them?

What I'm asking is, do you have proof you did any of this?

You should have reported this incident to the police IMO, then there would have been a paper trail. It would have been recorded in Bamber's prison security files and would have been relevant in relation to his risks to the public.

Men like Bamber think they are above the law and whilst incidents like this aren't formally reported, they just carry on regardless and con their next victim.

There was no point in carrying this any further. Jeremy has asked many people for money which may be out of desperation to prove his innocence. None of us know what turmoil he is going through and I just treated it like any other argument I have had in the past with other people. I just removed myself from the situation and got on with my life. The problem is I trust everyone and I need to be more cautious and not take everything I am told to be the truth.

[Nicholas]

Supporter Barbara Death sounds bitter to me.

Her and her husband had issues with their caravan at OSEA road.

Seems to me they turned on the surviving relatives because they felt hard done by.

The video is worth listening to IMO

That's not entirely true though is it Daisy?

I have read both this and the blue forum for sometime and with the utmost respect, many of those on both forums have formed opinions on Jeremy as regards his innocence/guilt and what type of person he is.  Many have never written, spoken to or met him.  This is why I have decided to share with you the friendship I have had with Jeremy for almost three years.  He was, I thought one of my dearest and closest friends but I seriously misjudged this man.  This will probably be a long post so I will do it in chunks so you don't get bored!
I started writing to Jeremy sometime ago after reading new information about the case and feeling that all didn't seem right.  I live not far from Essex so have always read about his case in the local papers.  I very soon became involved in the Campaign and typed some of the documents for his last CCRC submissions.  I have also done all I can to ask those in power to listen and have written to my MP,  the Prime Minister,the MOJ, the Home Secretary, CPS, IPCC etc.  I have had conversations with officials at the CCRC and also exchanged emails and spoken on the phone to Professional Standards at Essex Police. I also phoned some of the scientists who examined the sound moderator who were very pleasant towards me but adament they had come to the right conclusion. The Campaign Team told me that I was getting more results and responses than themselves.  When the Campaign mysteriously closed down for a while, I never heard from them again and my emails went unanswered. 


52

Jeremy and I spoke on the phone two or three times a week and I sent him a generous monthly allowance.  We shared our hopes and dreams and I always told him he was an extended part of my family.  I just wanted him to feel that he belonged and I told him I would always support him no matter what.  He always told me I was one of his closest friends and one of the only people he could trust.  When I went on holiday, he made me promise to email him, he always phoned me on Christmas day and I truly believed our friendship was genuine.  I continued to do whatever I could to help him, even tracking down a retired senior Essex Police Officer for his help which he initially said he would do, then asked me never to contact him again!  Jeremy has sent me many documents which have never been in the public domain but I can say that none of them absolutely proved his innocence. There is one though, which indicates that there MAY have been life inside the house while Jeremy was outside but that needs investigating further.
Jeremy is witty, makes me laugh and usually cheeful in spite of the conditions he lives under.  I discovered though that he has a dark side.  He was often very evasive when I asked him questions about the case and if I ever disagreed with a piece of evidence or events, he would turn on me and shout and swear.  He told me lots of lies and in the end I took everything he said with a pinch of salt.  On my birthday last year, he sent me a lovely card telling me what a special friend I was and he promised to be with me to celebrate in 2014.  Then things changed drasticall between us. . . . . . . .

In September he phoned me and said he and the Campaign Team wanted me to pay for the new forensics tests.  He demanded I send him £4,000.  Before answering "no" I asked him who the scientists were as I wanted to check out their credentials.  He told me to mind my own business and just pay up.  He said if I didn't have the funds available then I should take out a bank loan.  He was very threatening and abusive.  When I started getting upset he shouted at me "stop playing the F*****ng victim."  I was so worried and concerned, I phoned the prison and discussed this call.  For anyone out there who thinks I may be telling lies, the prison confirmed that this call was recorded and retained so I have the proof.
I had already arranged a visit for October and went as planned and intended to discuss this matter with him.  He was quite unpleasant and told me he had never liked me and would never want me as a friend, along with other very hurtful remarks.  He told me himself that he had sacked Simon McKay.  I tried to talk some sense into him but he said "everyone plays to my tune or I dispose of them".   That appears to have been a lie as Simon claims to still be working for him.  I now realise I was there purely for the money.  I didn't turn up for the afternoon visit.
Back home, I wrote to Jeremy telling him how devastated I was that our friendship was a complete farce on his behalf and I was heartbroken that I was forced to walk away from him.  I have given him three months to reply and all I wanted was an apology and an explanation as to why he had lied to me for three years, pretending he was my friend.  This is why I have decided to tell my story as I don't want anyone else to be hurt by Jeremy.  I feel so guilty abandoning him but what choice did I have?  Andrea and Goatboy have got it absolutely spot on when they say Jeremy uses and abuses friends and then tosses them aside.  I feel desperately sorry for him.

I hear what you are saying Holly but there is a difference between offloading on friends and being controlling, manipulative and abusive.  No one treats their friends like that.  This is certainly not the way to behave if you claim to be a MOJ.  Jeremy comes from a decent family and had an excellent education and should have been taught basic manners.
Also you say you would never become involved with a person in his position.  Well, he is no different to the rest of us - he is just locked away.  If we didn't become emotionally involved with our friends then we would all be robots!

When we look back at his life before and shortly after the murders he was described as arrogant and controlling.  It seems he hasn't changed and is losing friends left right and centre.  I have been to the highest level and take it from me MOJ or not, Jeremy is never ever going to be released.

Do you usually post your arguments with people on a public internet forum Daisy?

You can hardly say you removed yourself from the situation and got on with your life. From my viewpoint you jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.

[Nicholas]

The problem is I trust everyone and I need to be more cautious and not take everything I am told to be the truth.

You strike me as someone who takes risks Daisy?

[Daisy]

You strike me as someone who takes risks Daisy?

Yes you are probably right. I just have a few more things to report on the Mark Alexander case and I won’t be discussing anything personal in future. I feel a bit threatened now.

[Nicholas]

  I cannot tell if you are being serious or not Daisy

Yeah far safer to stick to supporting convicted murderers and reporting on their cases. Nothing threatening in that  they only have all the personal information you give them along with where you live etc

[Nicholas]

Yes you are probably right. I just have a few more things to report on the Mark Alexander case and I won’t be discussing anything personal in future. I feel a bit threatened now.

What's with the victim mentality Daisy. I think you have much to contribute to the forum.

What did you learn about Jeremy Bamber and about yourself following your argument with him and did you learn from those lessons before picking up pen and paper and "jumping into the fire" with Mark Alexander?

You claim you "feel a bit threatened now," I presume you mean by posting on this forum?

Have you ever stopped to consider your judgement of others may be off kilter and your own behaviour could be seen by some as threatening?

[Daisy]

I am who I am and you have no right to keep criticising me. We all go through life on a journey and sometimes make right choices and other times not. I post on here to give information not to have arguments and be questioned about everything I do.

I'm not interested in you Daisy, I'm interested in facts. You appear to have posted here since around 2014 and you appear to have built up a following of your own. http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5009.0.html

"January 10, 2014, 08:37:PM »
After reading her posts, I messaged "Daisy" to ask whether she would speak to me regarding my book. She gave me a definite no, telling me that "people like me" are "disgusting" because we try to profit from Jeremy's case. I felt it was only fair to inform her that I am in fact offering all proceeds from the publication of the book to Jeremy's campaign and don't intend to profit from it at all.
I find it sad that she felt the need to post this at all, even if it was to "prevent anyone else from being hurt by Jeremy". After all, we're all big boys and girls and can all stand on our own two feet and come to our own conclusions regarding the case and whether or not we wish to be in contact with Jeremy.
I just hope that people don't go making judgments about Jeremy based on what she has to say as I'm sure we all have an ex or two out there who wouldn't give us the greatest reference  ;)
This is precisely why I think a book about Jeremy is needed...to show him in a true light instead of allowing scorned women and the like to continue to muddy his name.
Just my two cents worth  :)

[Nicholas]

Aunt Agatha posted the following on 11th January 2014
"I was aware of Daisy wanting to post this.  Though I disagree with what she has done, I must add, in her defence, she meant no malice whatsoever.
Daisy is a dear lady....'old school', is the best way to describe her.  She has an incredibly close family, including a most loving and supportive husband.  The entire family where supportive of Daisy's desire to support a man with no family, who she felt was alone and in need of some genuine moral support, with no ties or complications.  Her friendship with Jeremy was purely that.  Unconditional.
She may have some wealth behind her and maybe Jeremy thought that Daisy's friendship may be of some serious use at a later date.  Daisy was aware of this, however, she did not want to believe she was there solely for the money.  She refused to think ill of Jeremy, even though her family had pointed out  how he mentioned 'her' money to both her and the Campaign team on a few occasions.
What happened on 'that' particular visit was shocking to both Daisy and her husband....who was also with her.  She was, as one can imagine, deeply hurt by this.  Both she and her husband were upset by his actions that morning that a planned afternoon visit was cancelled by them.
Friendship, loyalty and family are at the core of the whole of Daisy's nearest and dearest.  I suppose all she wanted to do was help a vulnerable young man who found himself fighting for his life....and justice.
In that, she has committed no crime, her actions and support were genuine.
The way some of you have attacked Daisy and her postings, is without justification and wholly unnecessary.
Daisy is old enough almost to be his mother.....you have spitefully attacked a harmless lady who meant no harm, other than to warn others who may be in the same position as she was, to be wary of him.
I have known Jeremy for over 20 years.  Both his mental and emotional health have deteriorated (which is without judgement but a fact, due to his imprisonment and age).
Jeremy remains possibly one of the strongest men I have ever had the fortune to meet and I wish him no harm, ever.  Not everybody who has had a relationship with Jeremy has spoken about it either. 
Sadly, I do agree with Daisy on one point.  Like her I believe he is innocent, always have....however, Jeremy has become a political prisoner upon which his release would bring the whole judicial system to its knees.  It's not that he won't be released so much as he can't be released....and that is what Daisy meant also.
Having been through two Appeals with Jeremy, having had meetings with Euan Smith, having been fobbed off with him along with Jeremy whilst he was courted to the CCRC, as Commissioner leaves many unanswered questions.
Ask the right question and you may get the right answer.

Wendy Brading reports:
"Bamber says he has not become institutionalised and is also confident sure he will be released one day.
Old friends from Tolleshunt D'Arcy still send him pictures from the village and he hopes, one day, to return. Not to stay. He is not sentimental about his childhood home. He says he just needs closure.
"I've had dark times. There are times when I have been angry, vengeful, disappointed. There are times when I have been depressed, broken even. But I am excited now.
"I believe you don't know what is around the corner so you should never give up.
"When I do get out of jail, I would like to be an inspirational speaker and would tell people not to give up. Everyone has difficulties in their lives be it illness or losing your job or being in prison. But I believe anything is possible and I want to demonstrate that." http://www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/15129894.__39_I_will_never_give_up_trying_to_clear_my_name__39__says_convicted_killer_Jeremy_Bamber/

Quote from: Bubbles35 on January 10, 2014, 07:31:PM
Well just been having a read of the red forum I am not a member. And there a few posts from a poster called daisy. Who is slagging Jeremy off as she said he has dumped her as a friend. From what's she has posted and also said she  has visited in prison. I think she is another dumped girl friend worth a read  . Why does his dumped woman not accept when it's over ?
Thank you for posting this Bubbles.  In all honesty it is a shock to read, but I genuinely feel sorry for this person.  Daisy tells of lies and a controlled mind.
I have to question his ability to feel for anyone....How can someone be a friend and in the next breath says I have never liked you...
I am with Grahame, I have never liked Jeremy it appears to me he just as arrogant now as he was nearly 30 years. Cross him and you will be disposed of, just like he did with Mike. 
I'm sorry, but  the excuse that he is incarcerated is not going to make this better for me.  I know we all have our moments and we say things that we don't mean, but the majority of us have the decency to realise what we have said/done and we apologise. 
Sometimes you have to think about Jeremy's attitude to those who have stood buy him, like Mike, Aunt Agatha, Jackie P and now Daisy....Yet, remarkably they all still stand by him...Why?
I'm not saying that Jeremy is guilty, because I don't think he is.  But, I do sometimes feel he knows more than we do..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5009.msg213921.html#msg213921

Aunt A then states:
Daisy has not just popped up from nowhere!  It has been stated in a previous post on this thread that many people write to Jeremy, especially after an airing.....and I agree totally.
Maybe this lady did the same as many other people, she just happened to stay around longer as her concern for him was, as I stated earlier, genuine and without condition.
She and her husband (with their children's support), did for him what they could.
She had no need to come to the blue forum....if Jeremy needed anything he would contact her directly.
Daisy chose who to tell about the MOJ, she had no need to come here at all and let you know she existed. It is not in her nature.
She wrote what she did because she and her family where deeply hurt by the way Jeremy spoke to her, with his seemingly direct request for money and the way he spoke to her when she questioned what the money was for and wanted something in writing to confirm what these experts where doing.  She had every right to know what her money was being spent on.  Him asking was not the issue.....it was his attitude towards her when she questioned what it was for.  The way he spoke to her, his manner and the revelation of how he truly felt about her after 3 years of loyalty, hit her hard.
The sadness and the upset felt by the whole family was enough for Daisy to warn anybody else, who may feel they are walking the same path as her, to be wary.......she did not want anybody else feeling the way she does

Grahame then posts:
"I suppose it is one of those cases where we are wise after the event? She probably feels now that she has made a big mistake for letting her feelings about Jeremy and his betrayal known.
Well I suppose we could excuse him many things as he has been in prison for many years with the understandable consequenses that AA has mentioned.
However I have seen this kind of thing before regarding Jeremy and it appears that from the very beginning he has hurt people who have struck up a relationship with him. I know of one other person who has experienced the same from Jeremy. It is not anyone who has ever been on this forum and I am sure not many members on here know and I won't mention their name either.
But it is this kind of thing that I find repelling with Jeremy. It is his special ability to hurt those who have done the most for him over the years.
As I said before I fall mainly on the side of his innocence for the reasons you all must know by now. But as I have no special feelings for him myself and if he ever gets out of gaol I will not be one of those at his "celebration party". I will quietly acknowledge the fact that justice would have at last been done. But then again if it is ever proved (and it has not) that he is guilty then again I will not be stirred up greatly by emotion. I don't like him and that is that. There clearly are two sides to this man http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5009.msg214121.html#msg214121

Aunt A:
"I was not going to comment further however may I add at this point, Jeremy has NEVER had any problems in asking for money from those who he thinks has it, nor does he have a problem receiving it.
If one reads Daisy's post again she mentions 'lies'.....she would only know he was lying if she had asked  questions.....and she believed or knew he was lying to her.  I am also aware of this.
Secondly, maybe because she again asked questions as to where the money was going...what forensics etc.
When  Daisy also used the word 'generous' in her post....she means a little more than would be expected on a monthly basis going into his allowance.  This allowed him to buy stationary, christmas/birthday cards, make phone calls, send out documents recorded delivery etc.  Daisy never asked where the money went, however, it would have helped cover these costs on a monthly basis.....along with contributions from others of course. 
Have not spoken with her and I would not ask her directly so I cannot confirm the above as they are only my thoughts......but pride and money.........where Jeremy is concerned I would not use them in the same sentence if you know what I mean.

[Nicholas]

There was no point in carrying this any further. Jeremy has asked many people for money which may be out of desperation to prove his innocence. None of us know what turmoil he is going through and I just treated it like any other argument I have had in the past with other people. I just removed myself from the situation and got on with my life. The problem is I trust everyone and I need to be more cautious and not take everything I am told to be the truth.

It's interesting how you have no comment to make in relation to the emails to the Maldon Standard Daisy. Do you not approve?

[Holly Goodhead]

Yes you are probably right. I just have a few more things to report on the Mark Alexander case and I won’t be discussing anything personal in future. I feel a bit threatened now.

Well I trust you don't feel threatened posting here?

Everyone is welcome regardless of their case related views providing they stick to the rules on the homepage.
