Dear Editor,
Freddie Kissoon’s propensity for name-dropping in his gossip column probably has some people turning in their graves, because a lot of the libellous gossip Kissoon fabricates day after day are often sourced from people he cannot name because of safety or confidentiality factors, or he revives the spirits of well-known characters to reveal posthumously all the secrets they imparted to him, thus making him the fountain of all knowledge on every subject under the sun.
The latest famous ghosts of times past who Freddie’s fertile imagination have resurrected to construct another tale of conspiracy and give it a blanket of credibility, are persons who people in the know – confidantes of these people are dismissing Freddie’s usual glory-hunting, linking himself to famous and/or popular people because, according to them, these men had no time with, nor were they familiar with Kissoon.
His strategy of creating an air of mystery to effect a nebulous credibility leaves no grounds for questioning the source or the credibility of the information he imparts. His promise to write his memoirs boggles the mind, because the only approximately two pages of information that Kissoon could produce on himself would be his career as a book thief, investing himself with a doctorate that he did not qualify for, a failure in academia, and the scandalous rumours he spreads as a gossip-columnist. Oh yes, and his blackmailing people with threats of exposes’ (Sic!) in his gossip column to acquire things for his personal use and benefit.
Yours truly,
Dave Martindale
