01/07/00 - Jail letters to Mirror prove he attempted to trick docs he was insane
The Mirror

May 30, 1999 (from Belmarsh)

I'M 5'8", 23, with brown hair, blue eyes, athletic build. My mum says I'm handsome but don't they all. I like music and some sports not football. My other interests are politics and history. Boring I know.

It's good to see you are a "thinker" as you pointed out some interesting points in your last letter. A thinker is someone who thinks not just believes what you hear on the TV so I will enjoy writing to you.

THINGS in here aren't too bad most of the other inmates are OK, 1 or 2 don't like me but they leave me alone. I haven't been gang raped so that's a good point. I'm studying the bible at the moment, and strangely it makes good reading.

All the things which the government run church say is the total opposite off (of) what God supposedly says, he says that slavery is good, mixed racing is bad, queers deserve to die, black people are off mind and have no soul and are not of his creation.

All these things are bad in the government run church no wonder why he plans to wipe us out soon.

THAT Tory Aitken is in the hospital wing so I didn't get to see him. It's just bad luck I was moved out a few days before he got here because there was a lot of things about the Tories and himself I wanted to ask him, never mind.

I can't really tell you much about my political beliefs "if, I have any" for one, my letters are censored and anything I could write could prejudice my case. I'm scared I could offend you and you could stop writing to me. I'm reading a good book at the moment about the Spanish Inquisition.

June 20

I DID know Mr Tyndall the person in the paper who is in front of me in the photograph. I was a member of the BNP for a very short time. I joined more for my curiosity.

I expected a bunch of yobs but was surprised to find a group of dedicated ordinary people...I didn't much care for Diana, being politically correct all the time borders on the lives of the stupidity.

August 12

I GOT that newspaper article you sent it was very interesting, please send me all the stuff on the internet about me as I'm curious to know what it say.

I left home when I was 20 and I never went back. It feels strange being famous (for all the wrong reasons) people wanting your autograph people wanting to slit you throat, well that's life isn't it.

October 4

THE BNP are a bunch of *****. They don't realise that most British people are just walking zombies with no mind of their own. I feel sorry for these people so content with nothing

November 11

I'VE been moved to Broadmoor, this place is mental, I don't think I will be staying here long though. This place is full of lunatics...it's so easy here but I can't wait to get back to Belmarsh, back to doing hard time.

It's because of who I am, a soldier, someone who thrives on hardships, I sit here and think about what we could have done together, so many exciting things I could teach you, make you feel alive, not the boring things ordinary people get up to, but dangerous things.

December 3

(Sends traditional Christmas card with Father Christmas on the front, holding a tree and presents) LOOK to the future and the Millennium, as next year is going to be a lot different to this one. I promise you. I'll be back in court by next January and then back to Belmarsh, this place isn't scary at all. It's full of divs.

December 12

JUST a quick letter to let you know I'm alright. I'm thinking about what Christmas present I'm going to send you. I thought I'll get you a nice watch tick tock tick tock something that will remind you of me.

December 20

I WAS thinking the other day we could of been a Bonny and Clyde having so much fun. Things here are no good, I can't believe that I have fooled all the doctors. Anyway take care of yourself.

January 15

IN a few months I will be sent back to Belmarsh and then hopefully I can phone you. This place is a joke so are the doctors. They think they are clever, but they are as stupid as the fools in here.

January 30

THINGS here are the same as usual, waiting for my trial, having conversations with a bunch of half-wits. I had my mum and brother visit me the other day, it was good to see them but I wish it was you sitting opposite me holding hands under the table.

What sort of music do you like, I got a Skrewdriver album send in the other day by a friend on the out, it's really quite good, full of racist chants, maybe not your cup of tea.

February 2

SORRY my letters are short but it is hard to write a few lines while I'm on these drugs. You must know I'm on these drugs for no reason. Has there been anything good on the net about me?

February 4

IT looks likely that I'll be staying here at Broadmoor. Things here are the same as usual. Got another black lunatic on the ward now but they keep him locked up. I agree with you that casual relationships are a waste of time. Too many AIDS victims walking around.

February 10

IT was funny to hear that people are arguing about me being a member of the British National Party. I must admit that I was a member for about three months and didn't take it that seriously.

I went to a few meetings. One was on the front of the Mirror. I haven't been photographed for a long time and my mum has only got photos of me at school.

February 12

THE only side you know is from the media. I'm a lot different to how they say i am, it's hard for me to write this as i am a bit shy, but it feels that I have known you forever. I wonder what would of (have) happened if I didn't do what they say I've done.

February 18

This place is a joke. I'm told I'm a patient but I'm treated like a criminal. It's strange you want to know me and why I did what I did. I believe in fate and that we were meant to meet some way or another in our lives, and that we were supposed to have some sort of relationship.

Does any of you family or friends know you write to me, I wonder what their reaction would be, maybe they would want an autograph ?

March 6

HOW are you and what have you been getting up to? I was up in court the other day and gave my plea. There were so many people there it was weird. I feel a lot better for saying I was guilty, a few people gave me a few sneers but that is understandable.

Patsy, I am no monster but some kind of terrorist, someone who puts themselves forward for what they believe in. On a good note at least you know what I look like after my photo was splashed over the papers and TV. It was strange for me waking up and having a nurse give me a paper with my photo on the front.

March 13

ANYTHING good on the Internet about me? I'll be surprised if there isn't. Anyway some good news now. The doctors have agreed to let me phone you after all this legal bulls*** is over. It could be over by the end of March that's if the prosecution agrees to accept my plea. If not it won't be until June.

March 24

I DON'T like writing about what I did because my letters are censored, but what I can tell you is that I didn't start out to kill people. That was a product of what I was trying to achieve. We've been writing to one another for a year now, but it seems I have known you all my life. Is it the same for you?

April 1

LOOKS like I'll be going to trial on the June 5th, 2000. It won't be a proper trial. It will just be a bunch of quacks giving their opinions, so it will be very boring. Why don't you come along and sit in the gallery. I will be looking out for you if you decide to do so. If you do, don't tell anyone you are there, you could get lynched.

April 6

THIS place isn't as bad as I make it sound. I got a few good friends but they will be moving on soon. I get a visit of my mum, dad and brother once a week. I must be lucky to have a family that will stand by me in this time of trouble.

Soon as my trial is done and dusted am going to do a few courses in chemistry and physics and maybe history.

April 18

My favourite age was when I was 14-15 years. That's when you are starting to become an adult but you're still a kid and you can get away with stuff as you're still a child. I couldn't say what my favourite memory was.

I've had so many, but it looks like I won't be getting any more while being locked up in here. Oh well, that's life I'm afraid. So many people live such boring lives getting up for work every day dying with no one to miss them. That's not the life for me.

May 6

IT has been a year since I was arrested. It feels strange. It only feels like a few months. Time flies by doesn't it. On a brighter note things are not looking too bad for my trial.

I could if I'm lucky get diminished responsibility and then it will be up to the doctors when I'm released, but that won't be for a long time..
