What sort of person spreads false claims about survivors of terror attacks? An unexpected source gives Marianna Spring the inside track on conspiracy show host Richard D Hall.
Neil Sanders has moved in the same sort of conspiracy-minded circles as Hall for years. Heβs been a regular guest on Hallβs show. Neil even says he probably wouldnβt have written his book without Hallβs encouragement. In this episode, he helps Marianna chart Hallβs evolution from a UFO enthusiast obsessed with alien abductions to someone who promotes toxic conspiracy theories.
Neil rejects Hallβs theories about so-called βcrisis actorsβ and faked terror attacks, and he recognises the distress those false claims cause to survivors.
In this ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 podcast, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring, investigates how survivors of UK terror attacks and tragedies are targeted with horrific conspiracy theories, online abuse and threats. Some are even tracked down offline too. Now they want answers and justice.
This episode contains audio from Richard D Hallβs website.
