From Peter Stewart's message I see Hines is still carrying on about Jack the Ripper.
How many times do I have to say that when discussing possibilities, I have never said this is a fact or that is a fact------How could I? I can and did report what was written in this book and gave opinions why it theoretically could be possible but it doesn't mean that when playing the devil's advocate you agree or accept. I certainly would not dream of stating what I see as facts (because I don't) in regards to the Jack the Ripper saga, because speculation is the only thing left when facts are missing.
For Hines to demand that I provide proof is just plain stupid. I expected better from him. I know, now he is in a corner, he has to give Richardson support because who is there to support Hines if he becomes in need of support? And he doesn't like to appear not to have any friends, but then why is that? Who can he blame for that?

What I quoted was that Albert Victor was not involved, you called that
gibberish.
Then you start to defend Albert Victor------
If you attack people, just saying "gibberish" is not good enough. If you
want to become involved, which you do not have to, you tell them what is
wrong and why........
I only quoted what, according to me, was the relevant part of that book. I
did not say this is my opinion.
Why not protect the Monarchy? When the heir of the throne is allegedly
married to a Catholic girl far beneath his station? Even an Orleans princess
was not regarded as suitable.
If it came out that Albert Victor was married and had a daughter, can you
imagine the scandal? No, you can't and, according to you, there was no need
of a cover-up.
I keep my mind open that Albert Victor may have caused the murders, but that
they were done without his knowledge let alone approval.

Dear Leo,
More gibberish on your part doesn't help at all.
"Protect the Monarchy..."
Hilarious!
Your Republican roots are coming out?
Read what I posted by Greg King.

| Dear Spencer,
| So good to see you reveal another area of your expertise. If you are
able to
| detect the gibberish, surely you can enlighten us with the fact who
was Jack
| the Ripper? If you are telling us what is wrong you are obliged to
tell us
| what, according to you, is right. Why couldn't Lord Randolph
Churchill (and
| others) be involved in a cover up to protect the monarchy? Have you
read
| this book?
