I received an email today from Michelle Solway, I mentioned her in yesterdays post.
She said, “How dare you say I was put up to going to court against Stephen Gough
I actually said, ”I suspect. . . . . .”, which is not the same thing.
She said. “. . . and I can assure you my daughter did see him . . . “
I said, “I would hazard a guess that the said daughter probably didn’t even notice.” Which again is not the same thing. I don’t doubt that her daughter did ‘see’ him, but did she really notice him. Did she scream uncontrollably, “There’s is a naked man mummy. I am scared,” or did she say, “Oh look mum that man has no clothes on”. Had it been the former, it was not Gough’s intention to scare or alarm anyone so he had actually committed no crime so why was this woman in court testifying against him.
She said, “. . . . .and I am so up set about what happened in court . . . . . “ I have to ask what happened in court? According to the papers she sat ’answering’ his questions by staring fixedly at the floor, her arms clasped across her chest.
She said, “. . . .and the fact iv been slapped all over the papers I can assure you I don't want 15 mins of fame.” I don’t read the papers so I don’t know, but we all want our 15 minutes we are entitled to it. I am curious why she came across this post what was she looking for?
The only thing she has said that I agree with as incontrovertible is, “You don’t know me or my family.” Which is true, I don’t. But I have known of Stephen Gough for several years and I do believe he is being unfairly treated. I have written about him on this blog before.
I am sorry if I have upset Michelle that wasn’t my intention, but I was commenting on what I feel is an injustice. Stephen Gough, in his nudity, has not committed any crime yet people are testifying against him in court.
For those who don’t remember I reiterate “This blog has no more importance than the writing on a toilet wall, it is merely my opinion.”
