Peter Stanford & Darius Guppy
In 2013 Peter Stanford was attacked by Darius Guppy outside his London home. Mr Guppy maintained that Mr Stanford had libelled his wife in an article which the journalist had written for the Daily Telegraph. Darius Guppy flew from South Africa where he lives to exact retribution. According to an account published in The New Statesman (ref: http://www.newstatesman.com/media/2013/07/who-will-bully-bullies) Mr Guppy discovered where Mr Stanford lived and waited for him outside his home one morning. When he emerged, Guppy knocked Stanford to the ground and covered him in horse manure in front of his neighbours. Having filmed the episode Darius Guppy decided not to humiliate Peter Stanford further by publishing the film on the internet so as “not to cause additional hurt to (Mr Stanford’s) family.” An exchange of correspondence between Mr Stanford and Mr Guppy has been published on the internet (ref: https://sites.google.com/site/dariusguppymeetspeterstanford) which includes the original approach for an interview made by Stanford to Guppy and which Guppy declined. This approach when compared to the article published subsequently, Guppy argued, demonstrated Stanford’s bad faith (ref: https://sites.google.com/site/dariusguppymeetspeterstanford/chapter-3).
