Who was the mysterious 'third party' who asked Mike Gunnill to get a copy of '60 Reasons' using deceit?
MYSTERY: Mike Gunnill, a book, a courier and a third party
Breach of Undertaking No. 1 alleges that I sold a book to Mike Gunnill in breach of an undertaking not to sell or distribute the book I'd written: 'What Really Happened to Madeleine McCann: 60 Reasons which suggest she was not abducted".
The circumstances are I think reasonably well-known on here. Mike Gunnill, who lives near Maidstone, Kent, having already in the past written to me pretending to be Jason Peters and Peter Tarwin, this time fooled me by pretending to be yet another person, 'Michael Sangerte of Berkshire'. He asked for a copy of '60 Reasons'. I told him 'No'. He asked again. I told him 'No' and said he could read it on various websites. He said he'd already read '60 reasons', but needed the book 'for reasons of historical research, and was 'willing to pay a large price'. Believing Mr Sangerte to be genuine, I said I would see if I could get hold of a copy, and obtained one from a relative. He then sent me £5. I sent him the book he needed for his 'historical research'.
This is what happened next, Mike Gunnill's posting on this forum on 4 February 2010:
1) A courier this morning at 08.00 collected the envelope, 60 Reasons
book, 10 Reasons leaflet, a receipt signed by Anthony Bennett plus
emails between myself and Mr Bennett. The book was purchased by
contacting Mr Bennett directly via email. The money was posted to his
home address in Harlow. Cash was sent ( £5 ) as payment, because I
didn't want to send a cheque made payable to Mrs Bennett as requested
by Anthony Bennett at the same address.
2) Mr Bennett has admitted selling a copy of 60 Reasons to me. There
are two further examples but I only required proof of one sale.
3) I am grateful to this forum for allowing me to make public and open
contact with Mr Anthony Bennett.
4) The third party has asked me not make any further comment or
postings, which I have agreed to do. I have also agreed to make a
personal statement to the third party.

Now then, a couple of questions, one of which I'll put up on the forum as a poll question:
1. Who was the 'third party' who instructed Mike Gunnill to use deceit to get hold of a copy of '60 Reasons', and who then asked him not to make any further comment, nor to make any further postings about it, and to whom he agreed 'to make a personal statement'?
2. Which legal firm sent up a courier at 8.00 in the morning to Mike Gunnill's home to collect the precious book and deliver it to them?

Oh this is a hard quiz - I don't think!
The trouble is that under normal circumstances people we meet and/or exchange correspondence with have no hidden agenda. May be it's my suspicious mind but I have always been aware that I should be on my guard. I would wish that this had been so in your case.

Didnt CT, Pamela Fern's niece, say that a young man she believed was from Reading Police came to interview her and took a photofit from her of the "young blond man" she saw coming out of Apt 5B. This came out in conversation during her RI with the Leicestershire Police which neither the LP or PJ was aware of.
Surprise, surprise about another coincidence, this Reading connection.
Anyway to answer TB's question no. 1, as to the person who could have sent MG to entrap TB, it will be the same person connected to mccanns (needless to say) who sent the young man to get a photofit from CT, if CT is to be believed.
I am thinking perhaps it is possible for TB to raise this question in Court and then wouldn't it be down to the Court to communicate with GT to get answers from him as to who sent him to set TB up.
As for the urgent morning courier delivery, obviously whoever tasked GT to do the dirty job was eager to get their hands on the physical copies of the leaflets so that they have the evidence in hands, then it's target hit and mission accomplished.
It will have to lead back to the mccanns even if they are not direct controller of such operation.

That's right aiyoyo. It was the first time I had studied that particular statement also and it's all thanks 100% to Praia, for encouraging everyone, to look as deep as they can, in that direction.

Slough is also in Berkshire and is right next to Reading, and both Reading & Slough are served by the M4 which goes direct to Swansea. Takes about 90 mins by car

There is a thread here on the Carol Tranmer statement opened last November 2011

Thank you Candyfloss.
Quote Stella from that thread: "Don't worry Daisy, we've already been there and totally agree with you"
Yet I now stand acccused of trying to divert from the subject to stop people getting to the truth!

That's right Candyfloss, I had forgotten all about that one. But did it lead to the Reading connection? Or did that come from the thread Praia started?
Since the statements have been released, I was aware of the situation with the two photo-fits, one available, one not. More importantly the mysterious blonde man allegedly seen leaving the rear gate of 5b. This is the problem. You can read a statement 6 or 7 times, but if you are looking for something specific, it is all to easy to blank out everything else.
The big difference between the start of that thread in November 2011 and the recent one, is that this time round we had someone constantly urging everyone to look at very 'specific inconsistencies' in 'direct relation' to other individuals, that has previously been missed. It certainly made me sit up and take notice for the first time.
Why didn't Daisy do the same thing with her thread? Why did she claim to know that particular statement inside and out and state something along the lines of, 'there's nothing more in there to find'?
Why do we now have the issue of who started what first? Does it matter as long as we get to the truth?
At the end of the day, if Daisy's thread had any weight to it, it also would have got 11,000 hits. The reason the other one did, was down to direction, determination and the very fact that a few did not like the subject being discussed once again. That is one sure way to ignite a lot of interest.
