I don’t know about you but as I keep on looking at all the redacted letters, it seems to me that somebody’s name has been covered up. Somebody who must have been very close to the Prime Minister……………………..possibly somebody who understood fund raising……………. possibly even somebody with an interest in the construction industry………….?
Always a good idea to have the architects plans with you………….
Of course, it couldn’t be Lord Alistair McAlpine’s name that has been hidden. After all, this correspondence was censored on the 11th October 2012, why on earth would Mr Wayland feel it necessary to expunge any link between Lord McAlpine and Jimmy Savile back then, long before the Newsnight program on Nov 2nd………….?
No, ignore all that idle speculation………..
Though interestingly A consortium led by Alfred McAlpine construction won the £40 million Stoke Mandeville contract in 2004 (though it is difficult to find info as a great deal of internet content has been removed). Now, I’m not sure that this is the same construction contract that Savile was touting to Margaret Thatcher back in 1982 but it is one definite link between Jimmy Savile and Lord McAlpine…………..
Excellent work, the net is closing in, bit by bit…..
Do not confuse ‘Alfred McAlpine plc’ with ‘Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd’.
Are you suggesting there is no link then?
If there is no link then I’d be pleased to admit I’m ‘confused’.
There is no obvious or apparent link between Lord McAlpine, a former director (now retired) of Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd and the commercial concerns of Alfred McAlpine plc, as you imply. Though of common origin the two companies existed entirely separately from each other from 1940 until the latter ceased in 2008.
Don’t you think it may possibly be confusion over this,at least in part, that led to an apparent case of mistaken identity?
Read on the DIF JS thread about LURE at Leeds University. I recall that Ovenden had a picture of a young girl (of course) titled either Lure or Lure Me. Don’t know if it is relevant, just chucking it in the ring.
