From the desk of Ken McGinley President of the British Nuclear Tests Veterans' Association.

Good Luck Ceri

I hope the Mirror and that useless rump of that are supposedly in charge of my organisation, the British Nuclear Tests Veterans' Association, are proud of themselves

I recently had a chat with Ceri Marsh, the former CEO of the BNTVA and although she remains in good spirits, the change in her life since she was hounded out is dramatic.

She has no job, exists on benefits, is 'sofa surfing' on a relative's couch, and finds it impossible to see her own children on a regular basis.

And all because of a campaign based on what she describes as 'lies and innuendos' to oust her from her position. An outcome, faithfully reported by the Daily Mirror, the self-styled "champion" of nuclear veterans

In my opinion Ceri, was a tireless campaigner for the nuclear veterans and can always count on the support of not only myself, but I'm sure people like BBC broadcaster Naga Munchetty who was very impressed by her sincerity and acumen.

Ceri has worked ceaselessly to further our great cause and I wish her well in her forthcoming industrial tribunal against those who have dragged her down

Marbles Intact!

Fissionline editor Alan Rimmer reports that he has received a letter from a former trustee of the BNTVA questioning my sanity because I wrote a letter demanding that all the Trustees step down until the whole sorry mess the association has managed to get itself into in recent months is sorted out.

Referring to the announcement of my illness (I have stage four lung and kidney cancer) this gentleman writes: "As I am sure you know, he is quite seriously ill, and in my opinion not capable of writing the recent documents I have read from him about the BNTVA."

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint this gentleman but although my body is failing, it hasn't affected my brain. I am still quite capable of thought, can still hold a conversation, write a letter, put a bet on and most of all I know right from wrong and have the mental capacity to treat such abhorrent remarks with the disdain they deserve

But just so he knows, below is a recent picture of myself with a tribal wrap, a gift from the people of Kiribati who judge me for what I am, not what they think I should be
