No. I am not accusing anyone. They were lies but I will not say who said them. They were total lies. I am sorry, I cannot withdraw it. They are still being perpetrated on a daily basis and the problem is being laid on the backs of ordinary people. I respect the Acting Chairman and I do not like upsetting him but I could not call them anything else. They were damned lies.
