BRITISH 'JUSTICE' IN ACTION

(Up-dated 29.8.2025)

(Is there any?)

The case of Richard D Hall, 'Rich Planet TV and the 'Manchester Arena Bombing'.

CURRENT SITUATION - Updated 29/8/2025

People have been asking for an update on the situation and asking when the hearing to hear my application to set aside the bankruptcy will be heard. Unfortunately, the online hearing which occured on 18th August 2025, which we were led to believe in emails AND letters was a " directions hearing ", turned out to be the full hearing! As such we had not submitted any evidence to the court. At the hearing the judge ruled against me, and ordered that ...

1. The Application to set aside the Statutory Demand is dismissed.
2. The Bankruptcy Petition may be issued forthwith.

There will probably be a bankruptcy hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Law Courts, and I will provide an update if and when I get notice of it.

In response to the situation that my son Lewis (age 10) is now in - who is facing losing his family home due to the on going legal action, Andrew Johnson has kindly set up a trust which is taking contributions to help Lewis.

Details of the Trust can be found from this link.

Please note : The directions hearing which is scheduled for 18th August 2025 at Merthyr Law Courts, will be held ONLINE therefore public attendance will not be possible.

I will update further when I get the date for the actual hearing.

CURRENT SITUATION - Updated 12/8/2025

On 27th May 2025 I received notice from the Court of Appeal, that my appeal had been refused by Lord Justice Stuart-Smith. This means that I cannot appeal to the Supreme Court which in turn means I have exhausted all domestic remedies to get justice.

Having exhausted all domestic remedies, I have the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg whose role is to ensure that states are upholding human rights standards, and it does so by reviewing decisions of domestic courts in cases where a human right has allegedly been violated.

In my case, I believe the judgment was a clear violation of ECHR article 10, the right to freedom of expression and of article 6, the right to a fair trial.

From 27th May 2025, I have 4 months in which to submit an application to the ECHR, and on 1st July 2025 I instructed my legal team to produce an appropriate written application for consideration by the ECHR. The application is nearly completed.

The cost of the preparation of the application has been paid up front, and this was afforded by using the kind donations that are still continuing to come in from members of the public.

In the mean time, on 16th July 2025, the claimant’s solicitors served a statutory demand, which seeks a court hearing to make me bankrupt, which could then result in the selling of my home and removal of assets. A directions court hearing is to be heard at Merthyr Tydfil Law Courts on Monday 18th August 2025, NOTE : This hearing may be done online therefore public attendance may not be possible . After this court hearing I expect there will be another court hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Law Courts to determine whether or not bankruptcy proceedings will be allowed to go ahead.

I will be arguing that the case being presented to the ECHR has at least a realistic chance of success, and therefore that all bankruptcy proceedings should be set aside until the case has been heard by the ECHR.

Thank you for the kind donations so far, the legal fund just about paid for the cost of preparing the ECHR appeal, but further funds would assist in paying for representation by my barrister at the up coming bankruptcy hearings.

If anyone wishes to support me at the Court Hearing in Merthyr, once a date has been set, I would be grateful for that too.

CURRENT SITUATION - Updated 9/5/2025

The appeal process (against the November 2024 judgment) has been significantly delayed, due to the non availability of the post trial hearing transcript. The post trial hearing transcript was essential to include in the appeal bundle, therefore I could not submit the appeal until the transcript was authorised for release and transcription carried out. Having applied for the post trial hearing transcript on 25th November 2024, and followed up by repeated reminders to supply the transcript, I received the transcript on 21st March 2025.

The appeal was then submitted on 23rd March 2025.

The case was referred to a judge on 2nd May 2025.

I am now waiting to hear from the Court of Appeal.

POST RULING STATEMENT

" There are few citizens, if any, who have researched and investigated the Manchester Arena incident more than I have. In my years of investigation I did not find any evidence to show that a real bomb was used. But I did find video and photographic evidence which shows, beyond doubt, that there was no bomb. This court has refused consistently and repeatedly to examine fully any primary evidence from the Manchester incident, which I put forward in my defence. It has also refused my applications to obtain further evidence, which we know exists, and would be easy for a court to obtain. I contend, therefore, that this was not a fair trial. I would also like to thank my barrister Mr Paul Oakley, who is a brilliant barrister. Thankyou." Richard D. Hall, (Outside the High Court) 8/11/2024.

Due to an impending injunction certain sections of the website have now been redacted.

The donations I have had so far have just about, but not quite, funded all of my own legal costs which were well in excess of £100,000. Thank you to all who have donated.

I am now facing £45,000 in damages plus up to £234,000 in the Claimants' costs, totalling £279,000, and also the costs associated with appealing against the judgment. If anyone wishes to assist me with any of this, obviously I would be very grateful!

Britain is up to its neck in 'facilitating genocide' and the total destruction of gaza. Now it is making minor adjustments to provide 'plausible deniability' - an old trick. The British people have never been informed or asked permission for this disgraceful policy but of course still picks up the enormous bill for it. Perhaps we should label it "Starmer's socialist shame"?

British Army Hires U.S. Spy Plane to Monitor Gaza

The British newspaper The Times has revealed that the UK Ministry of Defence has contracted a private American company to conduct covert surveillance missions over Gaza on behalf of the temporary entity, due to limitations in the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) current capabilities.

According to the report, the British government is leasing an aircraft operated by Straight Flight Nevada Commercial Leasing, a subsidiary of Sierra Nevada Corporation — one of the largest U.S. military contractors.

The aircraft in question, registered as N6147U, is specifically designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. It was previously used in Iraq by the U.S. military and is now operated by a civilian American crew rather than British pilots. This summer, the aircraft was deployed over Gaza as part of a British-led mission to identify potential locations of Israeli detainees, according to the UK Ministry of Defence, which confirmed that intelligence gathered was shared with Israel.

The report added that a technical error exposed the aircraft’s flight path, revealing that it flew over the devastated city of Khan Younis in July — sparking criticism within British military circles.

At the same time, RAF sources confirmed that none of the UK’s eight Shadow R1 surveillance aircraft are currently stationed at the Akrotiri base in Cyprus, either due to maintenance or commitments elsewhere.

While the Ministry of Defence declined to confirm whether the operation was financed by the UK Treasury — citing “sensitivity” — two internal sources confirmed that London did fund the mission. However, the duration and cost of the contract remain undisclosed.

The investigation also highlighted the contrast between Britain’s military support for Israel and the stance of the Foreign Office, which has repeatedly condemned Israel’s “brutal treatment” of Palestinians and even threatened sanctions.

Military sources expressed dismay at London’s continued support despite the ongoing scenes of starvation and destruction emerging from Gaza.

One senior military source told The Times:

“Instead of sending a message to Israel that we won’t conduct surveillance on their behalf, we’re apparently happy to rent an American company and pay for it.”

The source noted that the leased aircraft is “nearly identical” to the Shadow and operated by a private U.S. company with high-level security clearance, allowing trusted U.S. allies to benefit from its services — all within the broader context of “supporting Israel.”

7.8.2025: MODERN MEDICINE

In an historical perspective, medical and health attitudes go through identifiable phases based on the state of technical knowledge and accepted norms of the time. Every age thinks it knows best. Our present age in the West has extended average life expectancy significantly but how much this is down to medical intervention is open to debate. When you strip infant mortality, poverty and dangerous social and working conditions from the stats, the increase is not nearly so great. The Greeks brought an over-arching philosophical approach to life and health. It was the writings of Aristotle and Galen that lasted right up to the 17th Century. Harvey's view on blood circulation and the function of the heart was a break-through. Gradually a scientific approach to anatomy, physiology, bacteriology and surgery replaced it. The burgeoning knowledge of chemistry and physics from the 19th C onwards has revolutionised both concepts of disease and its treatment. Nevertheless people still die and diseases remain incurably fatal. Neither people nor medical science like to accept this basic fact or that societal and psychological norms and interventions may indeed be creating the modern disease landscape. We have been lulled into a false state of medical and chemical dependence. Am I wrong in suspecting that women may have been the greater victims over the last two hundred years, partly resulting from a male dominated medical profession? The addictive properties of 'anti-depressants' is just one example of many. The psychiatric term 'hysteria', relating exclusively to the female anatomy, is one of the give-aways. And in a general sense 'hysteria' and its effect on outlook it is not extinct, as proven by the reaction to a falsely claimed 'Covid epidemic' and the rush to adopt a 'magic bullet' or 'vaccine' that proved more dangerous than cure.

Tim Veater there's no written constitution in Britain, so therefore, can't be anti-constitutional.

Keith Greenslade Not correct. The classic phrase is that 'Britain's constitution is unwritten and flexible' NOT that it hasn't got one. I'm sure you have heard of 'Magna Carta' but there are a whole raft of other judge made laws and statutes that together create the principles of a constitution, including the epic Bill of Rights and accession agreement when William and Mary took the throne in 1689. Our membership of the United Nations, Council of Europe and other International Treaties impose other obligations that can be regarded as constitutional. What is more, since the House of Lords was replaced by a 'Supreme Court', however arbitrary that appeared at the time, it has had the power to strike down Executive and Legislative decisions if they contravene fundamental constitutional principles. This happened you may remember in the case of Boris Johnson proroguing parliament in 1919 despite having Royal Assent on his advice and in another instance in 2022 when the Scottish Government attempted a further referendum without the consent of the United Kingdom. So the question is, is it 'constitutional' for people to be arrested and charged for peacefully non violently, supporting a protest group labelled 'terrorist', although blatantly and clearly not terrorist by any sensible definition of the term? I say not and I hope the Supreme Court agrees with me.
