Viscount Linley. It's something of a farce that this isn't mentioned in the court reports since it's been in all the European papers.

Careful Captain, you might end up in The Tower of London, fortunately there is freedom of speech and of the press in other European countries! Even the tabloids here are scared to mention it, I agree it is ridiculous and a farce, and nothing to do with whether its true or not. Two men are sent to jail for blackmail, blackmail of a royal figure, and the british public are not allowed to know anything about it? Why not? Its a newsworthy story isn't it?
