Beware of false messengers

As you may be aware the BMH team contribute a regular column to the Medway Messenger. This week’s effort, on the subject of Mr Paul Scally esq, was due to go in Monday’s edition of the paper, but was withheld as they `needed to check it out with our legal guys etc and no-one was available on Sunday`. When it finally did appear in Friday’s edition two things had happened - some major pruning (taking out references to an anti Scally campaign and the Facebook group amongst other things) and a subtle addition which described `unacceptable abuse during the game` - a comment I was neither responsible for nor agree with, and which, in my opinion, alters the whole tone of the piece. What follows is the article in its original form.
