The truth will out
Sir: I am grateful to The Spectator for Bruce Anderson's review of my book, Trial by Conspiracy (21 November), except that Mr Anderson prefers not to review it, but instead opines on the case against Neil Hamilton. So, for the benefit of Spectator readers, who are used to being informed, my book tells the story of the investigation by Malcolm Keith-Hill and me into the `cash for questions' affair.
Gradually we assemble evidence which we believe explains why the Guardian printed
LETTERS
Fayed's lies and subsequently conspired to pervert Hamilton's libel trial and the Downey Inquiry.
Mr Anderson doesn't agree, stating that I do not 'begin to produce the evidence'. On scant knowledge he then excludes even the possibility of our having a case, concluding that 'the Guardian is not guilty of a conspir- acy'. His opinion leads me to doubt whether he has read my book at all.
At least Mr Anderson joins a growing list of converts who agree that there is no evi- dence that Neil Hamilton took payments from Mohamed Fayed.
For now Bruce Anderson shelters the Guardian, but one day someone in the British media will break ranks, examine our evidence and start to ask questions. The truth will out eventually — it always does. Jonathan Hunt 82 Seymour Grove, Manchester
