>I am shocked by your unwarranted and unsubstantiated attacks on my father.
>As a professional journalist, you ought not just write any story on the
>basis of hearsay or undisclosed sources. My father never came to the UK ,
>neither was declared Persona Non grata. The circumstances surrounding my

>need not got into the details , thankfully nemesis has caught up with the
>real culprits " Jawara PLC " Well I wish you well in whatever it is you
>are
>doing - Just remember that what goes around comes around . Your opposition
>or struggle ought to be constructive not based on personal and fabricated
>attacks. Well I guess i overestimated your integrity or intelligence. Do
>you realy understand the mechanics of diplomacy - you surely don't. Your
>half baked, haphazard and dubious educational background surely hasn't
