Exactly. Crispin must think everyone's just dying to have him on bribe retainer.

No, the letter cited a bunch of legal mumble mumble about libel laws, but otherwise didn't have any specific threats. In fact, it said Crispin asked for them to go lightly on us (SO big of him) so they're letting us off with just a warning this time. We'll drafting a groveling letter to be sent tomorrow which we're sure the tosspot will enjoy; just waiting on one thing first.

As for what they want, isn't it obvious? To make trouble for us and Mum.
