I think the abuse is actually coming from you Jim. Exactly where/how have I “slagged him off”? I know he changed his name, you know he changed his name, most people know he changed his name. It might be of interest to people to know when he saw fit to do this and nothing I’ve said can’t be worked out from the public record.
If you take exception to this, you clearly have a problem. On the occasion I met him and Peggy, I found them pleasant and approachable even though it was clear that he was not a well man. Consequently, I don’t believe that he needs a gobshite to defend him.
