UK journalist Andrew Drummond withdrewa story from his web site today, and a major UK newspaper has done the same!
'The Scottish Sunday Mail' has deleted a Drummond article previously published in July 2014 - but apparently deleted the web article following a Press Complaints Commission investigation commencing.
Drummond is a convicted crininal after being convicted in Pattaya Provincial Court in February 2014, and will face at least five criminal trials in 2015, with a number of new cases at filing stage.
Drummond faces trial in at least 5 criminal cases that compise 23 separate charges that have already been accepted under Thailand's tough Computer Crimes Act.
The Sunday Mail has now mysteriously deleted the article in question following myself and David Hanks lodging a complaint with the UK Press Complaints Commission - and under threat of both civil and criminal cases.
In the complaint, David and myself described the article as a 'complete fabrication'.
On his own site, Drummond had earlier this week posted an article that a Computer Crimes Act case brought by David Hanks had been dismisssed, when in fact Drummond had been ordered to surrender to Koh Samui Provincial Court on November 13th to answer and indictment and post bail.
The article was quickly deleted after an article was posted on this blog describing the article as 'utter drivel'.
Drummond has now retracted the article admitting the case is going forward.
So, exposed in a blatant lie on his blog, a UK newspaper deletes an article, several complaints to the Press Complaints Commission and five criminal cases pending - doing well Andrew!
