Why Farrant Fears this Blog

An Attempt to Intimidate and Threaten!

A letter sent by recorded delivery was received at Seán Manchester's private address today. He was out at the time and somebody signed for it in his absence. When the large envelope was eventually passed to him he knew immediately who had sent it because "it stank of cigarette smoke." 

Copies of the same letter, demanding the deletion of this blog, were also sent to two police stations.

He didn't want to touch it, much less read it, and had somebody copy and forward it for the B.O.S. archive. He probably disposed of the hardcopy, but we have no final confirmation of that happening.

The five page letter includes allegations which, in truth, apply to David Farrant, eg copyright infringement, defamation and harrasement etc, and once again reveals the true face of Farrant. The deeply offensive and insulting rant is signed by David Farrant and Della Farrant. They object to the fact that they can't exploit Seán Manchester's work and abuse him in the process with impunity.

Here is an example to give their hypocrisy some sort of context. A single thread on a Fascist blog, believed to have a direct connection to Farrant's chum and collaborator Kevin Chesham, finds Farrant posting over thirty comments from February to April where Seán Manchester is personally attacked, abused, threatened, defamed and quite obviously harassed to a degree seldom experienced by anyone else on the internet. The incitement of hatred is quite unbelievable and many of Farrant's comments are copy and pasted rants, each running into hundreds of words. There is not one rebuttal from Seán Manchester or anyone sympathetic to Seán Manchester to the onslaught of comments from Farrant who is joined by trolls like Redmond McWilliams posting anonymously.

Every time Farrant is interviewed on a podcast, programme or video he attempts to smear Seán Manchester who has only once mentioned Farrant in a transmission, and that was in March 1970!

Ever since Della Farrant first manifested in the public consciousness five years ago she has been posting disparaging, derogatory and defamatory comments about Seán Manchester; especially on other people's websites, but also on her own blog. She and David Farrant are believed to be the creators of a Facebook page called "Bishop Bonkers" where, together with the familiar anti-Seán Manchester brigade who are also listed, they subscribe to libellous incitements against the man she is now issuing a complaint against. In fact, libel against Seán Manchester has become her stock-in-trade. A perfect example would be Steve Genier's "Nocturnal Frequency" podcasts where she and Farrant have been given a platform to malign and misrepresent the author of The Highgate Vampire. 

Ironically, the threatening letter sent yesterday refers to "mental health issues" and "psychiatric reports" and a "pattern of behaviour which spans decades." What we are witnessing is a classic case of transference. The Farrants are both suspected of having serious mental health issues, and David Farrant has personally been the subject of psychiatric reports. Back in 1970, he was examined by two psychiatrists who could not agree on his state of mind. One found him sane. The other did not.

David Farrant has evinced a pattern of behaviour since 1970 (when he first came into contact with Seán Manchester) that can truthfully be described as obsessive, compulsive, harassing, deceitful, abusive, cruel, vindictive and malicious. He has admitted sending voodoo death dolls to total strangers he took against, and there have been others he knew personally who received his curses.

David Farrant and his colluding sidekick Della Farrant are now trying to process a complaint involving the police because of this blog and anywhere else that attempts to set the record straight.

The pair of them threaten to open a can of worms that will explode in their face if they actually did carry out any threat. We have decades of abusive and threatening material from Farrant, including illegal uploads and copyright theft on a scale rarely witnessed. His stream of self-published booklets invariably include stolen material lawfully owned by Seán Manchester, among numerous others.

What they are trying to achieve by way of intimidation in the short term is the censoring of this blog which raises questions they cannot deal with and would not want talked about at The Highgate Vampire Symposium which will discuss Seán Manchester and his book The Highgate Vampire.

The Symposium will be taking place above The Gatehouse pub in Highgate, London, on July 19th.

This is the menu for those taking part in the section where the book and its author are discussed:

15:05 - 15:-50
Late Lunch Break

Paul Adams
David Farrant
Dr. Jacqueline Simpson

The Vampire Theory
During this session we will be discussing the origins of Highgate's vampire mythos, and asking: does the theory that the Swain's Lane "ghost" is really a "vampire" have any substance?

17:05 - 17:15
Third Break     

None are sympathetic towards Seán Manchester and three are exceptionally hostile towards him.

David Farrant and Della Farrant like to dish it out, but are unable to take a taste of their own medicine when some uncomfortable and searching questions with substantial evidence are raised.

Now they have issued a convoluted threat and aimed it at the person who is always their target. He couldn't be bothered to read the rambling missive crammed with lies and abuse. But we did.

We shall not be taking this blog down, or any of the other blogs etc where we have any jurisdiction.
