From the Daily Record:
Glasgow Airport Attack Hero John Smeaton Branded A ‘Fake’
By Janice BurnsSCOTLAND’S terror attack heroes were at war last night after John Smeaton was branded a fake. Alex McIlveen, right, claimed John “stood smoking a fag” while others tackled the terrorists, adding: “He’s a fake who should have been exposed a long time ago.”
But last night, Smeato described the allegation as “sad”, adding: “It is a strange world when some people try and blow out your candle to make their own grow brighter.”
Taxi driver Alex, 45, who tore a tendon kicking burning Kafeel Ahmed in the privates, broke his silence after John received a gallantry medal last week. He told the Record: “I saw John getting his medal from the Queen and it really p***** me off because he didn’t do anything. He just stood there smoking a cigarette and watched while we all got stuck in and he has been taking all the credit for it since. John changes his story every time he opens his mouth. There were no heroics on his part, no karate kicks or James Bond stunts. He didn’t land a blow on anyone.”
How hard do you have to kick someone in the privates to tear a tendon?
