True Colours

The current owner of the caravan park,Mr Alan Burston,has complained to the police that I have subjected him to harassment.This obviously is intended to stifle publication of the facts as presented in this website.Harassment is a criminal offence and would be applicable in the case of more than one instance of causing distress or alarm to the victim. It is intended to protect people against nuisance neighbours,stalking,threatening behaviour or discrimination.
In this case Mr Burston has only spoken to me twice and both occasions were when he arrived unexpectedly on my doorstep.I did write to him once to document what was said during his first visit.The letter contained no threats of any kind.I am not a neighbour of his,have not stalked him or anyone else and have not made any threats.
On the basis of this lack of evidence I am surprised that the police took the trouble to send 2 policemen to interview me on 28th August and again to give me the all clear from the Crown Prosecution Service on 12 September.It took me about 10 minutes looking up the details of the offence in the local library to establish that there was no case to answer.If Mr Burston was serious in his intentions perhaps he could have done the same rather than waste police time in this way.
Anyway,the benefit of all this is to illustrate that this seemingly nice man can resort to underhand methods to try to get his own way.This is just what I have been warning the public about.If you had a caravan on his site and he was displeased with you for any reason it would not be surprising if he reverted to this type of behaviour.Thank goodness he has no jurisdiction over me or he might carry on trying to get me a criminal record for speaking the truth in the public interest !
