Police officer identified by Bella Caledonia is not "the golfer"
[With his permission, I reproduce here an email that I received this afternoon from George Thomson:]
I follow your blog with keen interest. Normally I remain on the sidelines which can be frustrating. In relation to the allegation that [******] was the Golfer, I am in a position to refute that notion completely.
It was I who first approached the Golfer having been pointed in his direction by another officer. I took the initial statements from the Golfer and was in contact with him for some time.
At our very first meeting I gave him my word that I would never reveal his identity and I have always stood by that promise.
I think that it is fair however to break cover a wee bit in this instance and come to the recue of Mr [******]. I can state categorically that he was not the Golfer.
[The relevant page appears now (after the appearance of this blog post) to have been removed from the Bella Caledonia website.]
