Before Mark Leech called me a racist he should have checked his facts

Reference to the libel can be seen here.

I know I said we shouldn't speak of people as we know them in real life but I'm going to break my own rule here and say I never found you in the least racist. WTF are they going on about?

Mark Leech is an ex-prisoner who reported a blog post of mine to the police and alleged it was a crime.

He is the owner and editor of a prison newspaper called Converse, and in the March edition he libelled me by calling me a racist.

As you can see from the police letter, once he instigated the police inquiry he should have awaited the result before rushing into print and pre-judging the issue.

At the very least he must print an apology of the same size as the original libel.

I am also pursuing other options including possible legal action against Mark Leech.

John, I have never found you to be a racist at all in anything that you have ever written about.

I'll concur with James in asking "WTF are they going on about?"

Nice letter:

"I refer to the offence listed above for which you were recently interviewed for"

Oh dear, lucky poor syntax isn't an offence or 1497 would be writing to himself.

You are a racist because you hate rabbits. Rocky hates rabbits. You are both guilty of hating rabbits. WHAT have rabbits ever done to either of you? You rabbitist, you. You make me sick with your anti-rabbitist comments on your blog you, you you, YOU!
