Steve, the words 'facts' and 'barnett' aren't good bedfellows especially when you consider the amount of bullsh!t, bollocks, lies, exaggeration and deception he has indulged in .... you are not reporting 'facts' - you are reporting what barnett told you, and if you wish to interpret it as fact then that's your prerogative - personally, I prefer to rely on my experience of him in the past years.
I'm pretty sure that barnett indulged in many 'facts' when explaining to Gino why he was screwing him for 61 grand or to Simon when he was telling him why he wasn't gonna pay over 21 grand etc etc .... bottom line is, barnett has lied to so many people, so many times, I find it difficult to understand how the fuhk you can believe anything that comes out of barnett's mouth or keyboard.
Just sayin' .... :/
