Fair use rationale for Image:Sendtowiki.jpg[edit]

Image:Sendtowiki.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Early Life[edit]

"Born into a legal family in Ceylon during the period of the British Raj..." Some families in Ceylon under the Raj were illegal? 01:59, 16 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmitch87 (talk • contribs) It means he was born into a family that worked in the legal field.--2.25.122.25 (talk) 22:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Biased POV[edit]

"The background to this was that on the previous week, David Frost announced he was going to include the story of the FAM debacle and Savundra in his next programme. Savundra's ego was inflated enough for him to initiate contact with the David Frost production team because he believed that he would be able to exonerate himself on television given a suitable audience. Whether this was a flaw in his character or a reflection of his use of pethidine is not clear. Certainly he injected before he went on the show and throughout the recording appeared to be excessively calm despite the level of accusation and disdain by David Frost.

Savundra appeared secure and confident in his ability to defend his conduct, as well as anticipating no problems in handling Frost's questioning. Whatever the previous arrangements were with the production team, it was clear he was not ready for the hostile heckling studio audience being led by David Frost. He seemed to expect an opportunity to lecture on the finer points of the law and to debate with Frost. He referred to Frost as being the 'finest swordsman in England', and also referred to the audience – which included some of his clients and victims of the insurance company failure – as "peasants", and claimed to have "no moral responsibility" for what had happened."

This ought to be fixed--not a neutral POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.77.50.87 (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Renfro[edit]

An American called Renfro was involved in the sale of the non-existent oil to China in 1950. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.216.95.91 (talk) 15:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Savundra sent a telegram to Renfro, saying "CIA STOP GUN STOP NOT EXPECTED TO SURVIVE STOP". Renfro asked, "HAVE YOU PULLED FAST ONE STOP HAVE RECEIVED SIXTY PERCENT STOP NEVER EXPECTED OTHER FORTY PERCENT STOP REPEAT HAVE YOU PULLED FAST ONE STOP". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.216.95.91 (talk) 18:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
