Q: c4 snowmail - january/2001 certainty level 50% in january 2001 i signed up for channel 4 tv s email service snowmail under an anonymous email address. quite soon jon snow and others started getting at me in the snowmail bulletins so i promptly unsubscribed. here are three distributed messages which may be intended to be against me; i have given these items a joint probability of 50% only since it is quite difficult to be sure these are against me although i think they may well be. first item is from 5 january 2001. back passage contacts might genuinely be about labour were communicating in a shielded way with itn; but it may be about snows covert communications with me on his programme and in this bulletin; and its a slightly strange thing for him to say it suggests the human bodys back passage. i wish theyd come and talk on our website.... snow knows im subscribed to his mailing list and he may be encouraging me to talk to him by email; again if that comment were genuinely about labour then it would be a strange thing to say since the politicians talk to snow by phone and on his programme so they wouldnt talk to him by email; my suspicion at the time is that he was trying to persuade me to talk to him by email so he could decently lie that my thoughts of reference were incorrect. from snow c4n jon subject channel 4 briefing date fri 5 jan 2001 171506 -0000 mime-version 1.0 january 5 2000 good afternoon dear viewer well the snowmail drew a little ire from labour hq yesterday. a sensitive call at 6.35pm from my friendly mentor there sought to correct the impression i gave in yesterdays missive that in some way labour was bounced into naming these latest millionaire donors. well im afraid they were...rest assured paul hamlyn would not have been named without the diligent sleuthing of my colleagues and had he not been named neither would these latest two. the only serious inaccuracy i must plead to was the promise that we would put these matters to a senior labour person...alas none was forthcoming...i shall make no such rash promise again. my same mentor was on the phone again during last nights channel 4 urging us to get some reality into the programme. i fear we may have touched a sensitive nerve...and the election campaign has not even started or has it i shall try to keep you posted with these back passage contacts as the campaign unfolds..from all sides. i do wish theyd come and talk things over with all of us on the web site...heres an open invitation... so to today harold shipman murdered as many as 250 people it now turns out. but he is never to be tried and relatives who seek closure to their uncertainties will never reap satisfaction..we have the dpp the chief medical officer and a solicitor for aggrieved and bereaved families on the programme..the worlds second-worst mass murderer..can he be allowed to escape further action sending private/sexy emails in company time gets workers the sack..big brother spies on office premises..is electronic life in the work place getting out of hand we explore what we can...and if you are not sure what you can and cant send our site spells out the legal dos and donts and gives you the chance to put your views to us. the cia publishes its risk assessment for the world in the coming years..beyond the cia itself whats the biggest threat to life and liberty find out on channel 4 ..and a major encounter with a man expected to take a top job in the bush administration... and a sumptuous piece from nicholas glass in valencia..a city transformed by a brilliant young architect for half the price of what the dome cost us. lots moving see you at 7.00best as ever jon snow the next contact was on 11 january with the unsubtle words the lunatics have taken over the room from krishnan gm. the phrase needs no explanation as to why it might be a dig at me. from guru-murthy c4n krishnan subject channel 4 briefing date thu 11 jan 2001 165625 -0000 mime-version 1.0 january 11 2001 good afternoon. jons away so the lunatics have taken over the room. i am joined by samira for tonights show. the depleted uranium confusion deepens. what did ministers and senior officers know about the risks to soldiers what did they tell others and why the lack of candour over the recent documents that have surfaced having dismissed the army report leaked yesterday warning of the dangers of exposure to du as written by a trainee and littered with mistakes the ministry of defence now accepts it was written by an experienced officer. but they wont say who. more awkwardly it emerges that senior officers decided a month after it was written that the report should be circulated to all personnel likely to come into contact with du. but was it nobody seems to know. our science correspondent andrew veitch has also visited the lab in oxford that could begin testing veterans for depl
