Plausibility of Kosminski

[Phil H]

But Paul, did not the Hove Seaside home move its actual premises in the early years of its existence, or am I misremembering something?

Swanson described it as 'the Seaside Home'. Donald Rumbelow, when he first saw the marginalia back in 1987, stated that policemen writing c.1910, as policemen today, called one place and one place only 'the Seaside Home', namely the Convalescent Police Seaside Home in Hove. It is generally accepted that this was the place meant, and I particularly point out the word "the" and the capitalisation of "S" and "H" in Seaside Home as strongly indicators that a specific, recognisable place was intended. Others have argued that the words could have meant any of the other convalescent homes used by the police, none of which were used exclusively by the police, but I think Swanson would have specified it if it was something like Mrs Figgis's boarding house at Clacton or whatever, or if it was a seaside home for postmen, jews, or whatever.

I'm no expert on this, but my understanding is that the Seaside Home existed as an institution separately from the premises it occupied. It also moved location on a number of occasions.

Some records exist and there is (I seem to recall) even a mention of two "special" visitors being accommodated at the Home in the right period - though no way of knowing whether this was "Kosminski" and an attendant.

But questions have been asked about WHY a suspect would be taken to such an unconventional place to an identification, and why (given the apparent circumstances - a perhaps mentally challenged individual taken to the seaside with difficulty) the Seaside Home might have been chosen.

In turn, questions have been asked (that might resolve the issue ) whether Swanson misremembered or mis-wrote Seamens' Home for seaside Home, as the former was involved in the case of Coles' alleged murderer.

[Sorry if any of that appears vague, I don't have my sources with me.]

Phil,
Historically one might claim the seaside home existed/does exist,it is just beyond my understanding as to why it hasn't been identified.It was I presume built of bricks and mortar,and set on an identifiable area of land,and it's whereabouts and uses entered in public records.It existed just three generations ago,the same time as my grandfather's home,and that home is well documented as to use and ownership.So please excuse my lack of knowledge,and mistrust of historicsl evidence.Or should it be mistrust of Anderson and Swanson in their telling of history.

[PaulB]

There, dammit, there is a cartel - I knew it! And Paul's been telling me that there isn't.

Well, the cartel told me there wasn't one and I believed it.

[PaulB]

I think that the only release he's planning at the moment will be going down the toilet.

:-) Perfervidly.

[PaulB]

Just in case you need a few alternatives.

For 'perfervid' also try: intense, fervid, impassioned, keen, ardent, zealous, heated, fervent, feverish, inflamed, white-hot, fiery, raging, blazing, burning, flaming, seething, simmering, boiling, earnest, eager, animated, excited, passionate, high-spirited, wrought-up, over-wrought or enthusiastic.

Stewart "Roget" Evans strikes again! "Perfervid" is a nice word. I like it.

[PaulB]

I am not the one with my head up my a....e

Really?

But every one of those platitudes whatever they are, are little gems and there are more to come. I take back what I said about you retiring I want you to stick around now.

Really?

I am not going to engage in any further arguments with you or any of you followers.

Promise? You said it before and you came back.

All that was needed to have been said has been said. Lets see if you are still in such an arrogant frame of mind in a few months time.

Yes, let's.

Ye of little faith

[Trevor Marriott]

I'm not so sure that he's actually supporting you Trev.

I'd heard that Jeff had crossed the Rubicon, but I believe that he's back again now.

Well Stewart I can offer a concession price to the over 60`s lol

Typical of Jeff Leahy bottling it. There was I quivering in my boots

[Phil H]

Well Stewart, if that's the case he can, for once, be genuinely flushed with his own success. Maybe the only time in recent weeks.

Phil

[Stewart P Evans]

There...

Well as you are cartel member you should have known that I did reply to the accusations and I issued the following which formed part of an email to The Authors,
...

There, dammit, there is a cartel - I knew it! And Paul's been telling me that there isn't.

[Stewart P Evans]

Release

[B]...
Trevor - is that a hint that you intend to release new evidence at some point in the future?

Just in case...

I've gone through life and never to my knowledge stumbled over "perfervid", but now that I have I shall perfervidly use it! Yes, you explain it well - again! Actually, very well. Many should listen. - but it makes life a little difficult at times.

For 'perfervid' also try: intense, fervid, impassioned, keen, ardent, zealous, heated, fervent, feverish, inflamed, white-hot, fiery, raging, blazing, burning, flaming, seething, simmering, boiling, earnest, eager, animated, excited, passionate, high-spirited, wrought-up, over-wrought or enthusiastic.

Trevor - is that a hint that you intend to release new evidence at some point in the future?

If so, then I am sure we will all pause, reflect and after due consideration take it into account. Nothing new in that. But adding to the store of information available should not be about ego or point-scoring.

But perhaps I'm missing the point and you are just trading.... compliments!
