" 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."
