Three years ago you were made aware of an investigation by Malcolm Keith-Hill and myself into Mohamed Fayed's/the Guardian's allegations against Neil Hamilton clearing him of all essential charges, and instead concluding that he has been the victim of a criminal conspiracy involving the Guardian newspaper. But despite my service for Granada, you have ignored our work.
It seems likely that your blindness is caused by the fact that you employed on World in Action some of the Guardian journalists we name as being involved deepest in the conspiracy. In particular David Leigh, who was the driving force behind the Guardian's original false story that lobbyist Ian Greer paid MPs 'cash for questions' and who played a central role thereafter in the Guardian's cover-up once he and his colleagues realised that they were mistaken.
You also have a close relationship with Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, who submitted two pivotal but completely bogus documents to the Downey Inquiry, also as part of the cover-up.
You have also employed Luke Harding, who obtained the ex-directory telephone number of Malcolm Keith-Hill's elderly mother in Cornwall; and conned her into allowing a Guardian-hired photographer into her home to take copies of photographs of her son, and into divulging his address in Brazil, so that Malcolm could be tracked down by the Guardian and intimidated.
Finally, you employed Mark Hollingsworth, with whom you also co-authored a book, who has admitted handling legal papers stolen from the chambers of Neil Hamilton's QC and selling them to Mohamed Fayed for £10,000 cash, in a separate conspiracy to pervert the course of Hamilton's recent libel action last November.
To employ one such person is bad enough. To employ so many of them is telling.
You will find enclosed a complaint to the ITC. Your conflicts of interest in the Neil Hamilton affair, as demonstrated by your political empathy with the Guardian newspaper and your close associations with its journalists, has shown that you are an unfit person to have any role in the production of factual programmes for broadcast and I therefore call on you to resign.
Yours sincerely,
