‘Terror slur’ Tory to face libel trial

“At around 8.15pm, I started to receive a series of silent nuisance phone calls on my home phone, the caller withholding their number. These silent calls were interspersed by four more sinister calls.

“Two of the calls were from a male describing himself as ‘an acid expert from Widnes’ who was going to visit in order to demonstrate the effect of acid on my wife’s face and other parts of her body,” Mr Calver wrote.

“The fourth call (to my mobile phone) purported to be from Merseyside Fire Brigade and instructed me to vacate the house as it was about to catch fire.”

Mr Calver’s solicitors have alleged in papers to the court that Mr Noorani had asked a 16-year-old boy to phone Mr Calver and give him a “hard time”. This is denied by Mr Noorani.

Days after the fall-out between the pair, Mr Calver is alleged to have approached Mr Noorani’s wife and daughter, Natalie, in West Kirby.

“No wonder you have depression, married to an Islamic terrorist,” Mr Noorani alleges Mr Calver said to his wife and daughter. This is denied by Mr Calver.
