“And just so you know, I do not blame you for prompting many calls to Dale. Your article left me in a situation where I felt I was not able to risk properly/publicly defending myself against the casual smears of Macqueen or all the crap Dale put me through. This will take months if not years to address, as it’s now widely established in many minds that I’m a stalker and a nutter and very few of those people know why I suddenly went quiet. You clearly don’t get it.

You caused me more anxiety and grief than Jenvey or Dale, and that’s saying something. It’s impacted significantly on my home life, my website, my reputation and my career, and that’s when we only consider little old me.
They most likely assume it was because Iain Dale was right, because they have no way of knowing that I was silenced by your stunt. How could I possibly make a public case of anything with an unknown party on the loose with an unknown agenda and a willingness to smear anybody and everybody?

I doubt I’ll even be allowed to address it now. Dale still refuses to communicate with me (and sends me legal threats whenever I try), and Macqueen has seen to it that my emails won’t reach his editor. If I try to get past either barrier, I look like a f****** stalker, and the whole thing starts again.

You have left me in a deep pit of shit that I will have to wade through every time I try to do something online from now until Dog knows when…”

The above email was addressed to Dominic Wightman of the centre-right Westminster Journal, who silenced Ireland for two whole months with an “unintended pincer movement”.

“I didn’t really mean it. I feel slightly embarrassed about it and I am not proud of it, though for some reason lots of people are patting me on the back and shouting bravo. I have no idea why I was chosen as the return vessel of (Ireland’s) his years of producing bad karma.”
