John Hirst, the Jailhouse lawyer really does have to get over himself. With that lack of self knowledge so common amongst the headline chasing 'I know my rights' types he so personifies he is threatening Guido, Jeremy Vine, the BBC et al with the Courts for
Libel.
Dear Mr Staines
I email you to inform you of my intention to sue you for the libels against me by yourself on the Jeremy Vine Show and your blog http://order-order.com/2010/11/03/guido-v-axe-murderer/
I also intend to sue Jeremy Vine and the BBC.
As you are fully aware that I was convicted of manslaughter and not murder, there really is no legal excuse for your conduct.
Nevertheless, I am offering you the opportuntity to reach an out of court settlement of my claim.
Yours sincerely
John Hirst
John,
you cut your landlandy up with an axe bludgeoned your landlady to death with an axe handle. Deal with it, some will not allow you the convenience that you allow yourself, your manslaughter verdict does not in any way diminish your responsibility in my or many other eyes. To me you are an axe-murderer, and what is more I describe you as such in conversations, on line and elsewhere.
So go on, add me to your list of legal targets. Because that email and threat just has to be the most pompus thing I have seen in years.
