and substantial damages from the publisher of The Sun yesterday after he and former Labour deputy leader Watson brought legal action against News Group Newspapers (NGN) over allegations of unlawful information gathering by journalists and private investigators between 1996 to 2011.
But in a letter to the Times, Proctor slammed Watson who he says has never apologised for championing a serial fantasist who made a series of allegations against him and other prominent politicians.
Proctor wrote: “Watson’s hypocrisy is staggering, bemoaning intrusion while showing no remorse for the destruction he helped to inflict.

“I apologise unreservedly to Lady Brittan for the role that I played in the investigation of historic child sexual abuse. Her experiences led to several recommendations about how the police conduct themselves.

But the Lord stopped short of apologising to others implicated by the wicked claims, leaving Proctor annoyed at his protracted legal struggle with media over perceived “intrusions.”
Proctor wrote: “I was vilified as a serial child-murdering paedophile, subjected to credible death threats that forced me to leave my home, after police advice and even the UK.
“Watson has never apologised to me.”
