Very probably correct Freddie.

Neal has sat and brooded and refined his conspiracy theories for 30+ years, including :

My plan from the outset was to take over radio caroline.
The station was in profit until it went off air at sea.
I deliberately witheld fuel to create that situation.
When Tony Kirk obtained the radio caroline trademark, this was not to protect the name from Richard Hilton or Chris England or John Burch but more of my plan to steal the station from Ronan.

None of these things are correct, but if Neal finally admits this, he will have spent three decades hating me for spurious reasons. Of course, nothing that he states makes the merest difference.

Ronan was inspired by radio caroline I am sure but only while it created unrecorded income that he could live on or throw in to other projects or lodge in Lichtenstein.

I recall maybe in 2008, Ronan called me saying ' Hey, I need you to drive me to Lichtenstein for a very important top secret meeting '. He was lying of course and I was angry that he would insult my intelligence. I would not take him so he asked Mike Plumley and of course the trip was to draw money from an account there. He could have sent his wife who he married secretly years before, but did not trust her.
