   I'm not going to repeat them. They're hurtful to me because they contained   
   abuse that was   
   directed against me by someone else at the time and which got picked up and   
   thrown again   
   in the trial. It is a matter of record but I won't repeat it here.

                   Why would "they" wish to assassinate your character?   
      
   Well, let's put it this way - just because this is the first time it's   
   happened in this way,   
   from these people, on this scale, doesn't mean that it hasn't happened before,   
   on a lesser   
   scale. At university there were people who quite overtly hated me and would   
   have wished   
   something nasty to happen to me. Because of where I went making the wrong sort   
   of enemies   
   is pretty deadly.   
      
   "They" would wish to assassinate my character because it had all been done   
   before, and   
   because they knew I would not be able to react in any other way than I'd   
   reacted previously.

                   Please give details of when, where and by whom these   
                   comments were made, so that they can be checked.   
      
   This was four, five years ago... sorry, I don't remember. I can remember   
   individual incidents,   
   words which were repeated by different people at different times in different   
   locations.   
      
   Around the end of 1992 Private Eye rtan a front-cover with John and Norma   
   Major, with   
   the title "Major's support lowest ever" and John saying to Norma "Come back   
   norma" on the   
   front cover. What can you read in to that? Not a lot, seems like standard fare   
   for PE.   
   The first time I saw it I was in the pub with some people from work. One was   
   expressing doubts   
   to the other (let's call the first one Simon, shall we? and the second one   
   Phil?) about   
   whether what was going on was right. Phil's answer was that if Private Eye was   
   doing it   
   then it must be ok, "they're usually right".   
      
   A few days later, again near work, there were some students laughing in the   
   street,   
   "Were you COMING BACK later? But I thought you said you were COMING BACK ha ha   
   ha?"   
   Play on words, you see. Not very nice, either. I had start medication soon   
   afterwards.   
   Clever people, these chaps who think up PE titles. Just slightly lacking in any   
   sense of morality.   
      
   >>> ##: How did they do this? I'll give you an example. About a year ago,   
   >>> ##: I was listening to Chris Tarrant (Capital Radio DJ among other   
   >>> ##: pursuits) on his radio morning show, when he said, talking about   
   >>> ##: someone he didn't identify, "you know this bloke? he says we're   
   >>> ##: trying to kill him. We should be done for attempted manslaughter"   
   >>> ##: which mirrored something I had said a day or two before.   
   >>> ##: Now that got broadcast to the whole of London - if any recordings   
   >>> ##: are kept of the shows then it'll be there.   
      
                   What was the date of the broadcast ?   
                   Out of 2 million plus listeners, why should you be   
                   the only one that Tarrant was allegedly referring to ?   
      
   Sometyime in spring 1994. I can't remember the date, I heard the broadcast in   
   the   
   car - I was going into the office from London that day and just happened to   
   snap   
   on the radio, and hey presto! Mr Tarrant gives us the benefit of his excellent   
   understanding.   
      
      
   >>> ##: That's exactly what we did. We went to a competent, professional   
   >>> ##: detective agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our house.   
   >>> ##: They found nothing.   
      
                   What was the name of the detective agency and their   
                   address ?   
      
   I don't see why I should tell you that, but they're in Yellow Pages; they're   
   a well-established outfit.   
      
   >>> PM: >What? Spend a quarter mil. a year to amuse themselves? And why not   
   >>> PM: >change every now and again? Why keep watching you? (Unless you _are_   
   >>> PM: >doing something, and I don't think you are, though you may have some   
   >>> PM: >deep, dark secret in your past.)   
   >>>   
   >>> ##: See the above.   
      
                   Is there a deep dark secret in your past ?   
      
   Apart from "it's all happened before in a different way", no.   
      
   >>> ##: In a couple of cases people have even known my name - when I was in   
   >>> ##: London over Easter somebody (no idea who they were, just some bloke   
   with   
      
   >>> ##: his girlfriend) called me by name  - quite clearly, and my name is   
   >>> ##: distinctive.   
      
                   Is your name truly Mike Corley, or are you using it as   
                   an alias ?   
      
   It's an alias. I'm not English by ethnic origin. If someone manages to   
   pronounce   
   my name as well as that guy did then they must have been really trying.   
      
   >>> ##: There's a little story behind this. First of all, in 1992 I worked   
   >>> ##: for a company where the people made clear they knew what was going on,   
   >>> ##: first of all directly (the very first evening I was there I went out to   
   >>> ##: the pub with them and the Technical Director said to another guy,   
   >>> ##: "is this the bloke who's been on TV?" "yeah, I think so")   
      
                   Have you appeared, or been reported by name on TV ?   
                   When, where and by whom ?   
      
   No. Never. Not directly.   
      
   >>> ##: Also, in summer 1992 I went on a trip abroad to Europe by coach,   
      
                   What was the name of the coach company and your date   
                   of departure ?   
      
   It was a national express coach. At dover we boarded a ferry for Holland   
   somewhere.   
   The company that organized the trip went out of business some time ago, so   
   they won't   
   have records of passengers - so we can't get any corroboration from anyone else
