    This trial started when I was 6 years old (now 25) and my Dads story with multiple corrupt members of the flying squad was going on several decades prior to this as he explains. I am very thankful to you James for allowing my Dads voice to finally be heard and tell his story to help others never ever go down this line in their lives.
    If it wasn’t for James, my Dads voice would never be heard. It has been a voice absolutely silenced by police corruption. Hopefully now this will allow others to see what really happens in the “British Justice System”.
