The post you are reporting:
YourDover yesterday had a good rebuttal of the events surrounding this story and stated quite strongly that the Town Council did not pay out any ratepayers money.
I have heard from a couple of independant sources that it was Vic himself who broke this year-old story and begs a couple (or so) of questions - not, I hasten to add, accusations, just questions.
1) If, on the day that Paul Macartney and Brian May were due to show up and play in Dover and didn't, this guy gives a £1000 of his own money - WHY ??
2) Forgive the question Vic, but is it a case that you were embarrassed that they hadn't turned up and you gave this guy a £1000 of your own money to give to Charity ?
3) Then a year later, perhaps you thought "how am I going to get this £1000 back ?" and then sold the story to the Sun for an undisclosed sum ??
If the above is true, then it doesn't mean that you are dishonest Vic, just that you believed some joker who purports to be someone he isn't, then to extricate yourself and make him look good, give him a £1000 to give to Blackfish ?
If the above is close to the truth Vic, don't worry, no one feels ill towards you, but do let us know - put your hands up and say, O.K. Guv, it's a fair cop I dun it !!
By the way, how big was the (Sun's) cheque - can you retire now ??
