Justice and Honour

Following our quotes yesterday from the Sunday Telegraph we received the following extraordinary communication from Mr Troy, which we quote in full:

I recommend that you adopt the normal journalistic practice of seeking comments
from the subject of your stories prior to their publication/postings. Not only is that fair it also makes for better reporting.

I believe in fighting for justice. What Mr Cole do you believe in ?
Peter Troy


Following some unpleasantness earlier in the year, we advised Mr Troy that we would no longer reply to his communications. Had this not been the case we would have responded as follows:

Mr Troy,

I merely quoted from the Sunday Telegraph. I suggest you direct your complaint to Christopher Booker and the Sunday Telegraph. It was, after all, he who highlighted your shameful reluctance to pay your debts in a timely manner.

Suggesting comments be gathered when re-posting items already on the internet is clearly an absurdity. Kylie Minogue would have time for nothing else.

I had a long exchange with a friend of yours yesterday, as you may know, and at no point was he able to offer any rational or convincing explanation for your actions. All were entirely irrelevant as to why such large fines had been allowed to accrue and been left unpaid. This was the sole point yesterday's posting sought to make.

Your idea of justice seems to consist of parking when and where you choose and avoiding the consequences. Honour, a necessary companion to justice, demands that debts be duly paid.

Following your e-mail, I know better than to assume that you will seek my comments before posting future remarks about me on internet fora to which I have no access?


If there is any excuse for your having accumulated such fines over such a period that such collection methods were necessary, they will be posted here. Those proffered throughout yesterday do not merit consideration and I believe would merely serve to embarass both yourself, and your friend who put them forward, if openly posted here.
