Preface
The first of August 2013 was warm and sunny. Brian Pead had left Ivy Farm in Tilney All Saints, near King’s Lynn in Norfolk and drove the ten miles to the small village of Pott Row where Ramblewood Farm lies nestled between a knacker’s yard to the left and a sprawling cattle farm to the right.
The 54 acres of Ramblewood have been farmed by Richard and Karen Fulcher since 2007. They initially farmed pigs and sheep, but added a rare breed of cattle – Red Poll, once almost extinct in England – and began to cultivate their own herd. At one time, they also farmed sheep.
Three dogs, Poppy and Maisy (Patterdale terriers) and Bella (a spaniel) roam freely across the property.
As Brian drove onto Ramblewood Farm, he unlocked the gates and Karen drove out of the farm on her way to work as a payroll administrator. In a hurry so as not to be late for work, she drove off along the private track away from the farm without locking the gates.
As farmer Fulcher and Brian settled down for their early morning briefing before starting work on the farmer’s 10 civil cases brought about after he uncovered local authority corruption, a car drove on to the farm land, past signs declaring “Private Land” and “Disease Prevention Area”. Fulcher had also taken the trouble to inform people coming on to the land that they did so only by consenting to his terms and conditions which he had thoughtfully had printed on to aluminium screwed to the gates.
As the two men sat drinking tea and biting into their Marmite on toast, a knock was heard at the front door of the mobile home that the farmer and his wife live in.
Brian Pead answered the door to the two trespassers as Richard Fulcher gathered up his pocket tape recorder and digital camera.
Walking towards the two trespassers, Brian noticed that a middle-aged female and a male in his early twenties were both dressed in red fleece jackets, which struck him as odd since it was a hot August morning.
A red Ford Focus was illegally parked inside the farm gates.
Walking towards them, he asked, “Who are you and what can we do for you?”
“We’re from E.ON and we’ve come to read the meter,” replied the female.
“We want to see your id please and you’ll need to fill in the Visitors Form. By the way, you have parked unlawfully on private land.”
The two trespassers seemed reluctant to show any identification. Brian asked again.
“Oh, we’ll just go then,” said the female. The male was reluctant to say a word.
At that moment, Richard Fulcher left his mobile home and walked towards the three people. “Richard, start taking photos please,” said Brian. “We’ll want their faces and the car number plate showing it parked illegally on private land.”
As Fulcher started taking photographs, the two people purporting to be from the electricity company covered their faces with their fleeces and ran towards their car, jumped in and closed the locks. The female drove at high speed out of the farm, but in her haste and with her face half-covered, she drove into the wheel on the farm gate, preventing her from moving unless she reversed off the wheel.
Brian was at the gate and he motioned the driver to stop revving the engine in her desperate attempt to leave the farm. After a minute or two she took her foot off the accelerator and left the engine idling. Fulcher continued to take photographs, while Pead walked around the vehicle and spoke into the tape recorder. When his eyes fell upon the tax disk, the female leaned over and removed it.
When he looked at the clipboard on the male passenger’s lap, the female was swift to turn it over.
As he spoke into the tape to describe the two, they hid their faces.
Nor had they with them the hand-held terminal (HHT) electronic device with which to record the meter reading.
It was clear to Pead and Fulcher that this was not an ordinary visit by a meter reader. The behaviour of the two people was so out of synch with the normal behaviour patterns of meter readers. Both men – in their sixties – had considerable experience of meter readers in their lives, and neither man felt that this was a usual occurrence.
Having had criminal damage done to his gate, Fulcher called the police.
It later transpired that the female had also called the police.
Within 10 minutes, armed officers arrived at a reasonably remote part of Norfolk. Fifteen minutes later, Brian Pead was arrested yet again. His alleged crime? Criminal damage. Once again, Brian had witnessed crime and yet he was the one being accused of the crime.
On 04 August 2013, Richard and his wife pressed criminal charges against the driver of the vehicle for criminal damage against their farm property. The police failed to prosecute.
On 28 August 2013, (the twelfth birthday of Brian’s grand-daughter Lauren Birch), an email was sent by Richard Fulcher to Kate Parry of Parry & Company, Solicitors of Knowsley in Merseyside. The email was copied to Thomas Denash, also of Parry & Company and to the entire UK Board of Directors of E.ON: Tony Cocker (Chairman), Tony Ainsworth, David Newborough, David Bird, Don Leiper, Fiona Stark, RenĂ© Matthies and Sara Vaughan.
The email was entitled “Notice of Fraudulent Misrepresentation and Criminal Damage”. It drew attention to the fraud that E.ON were perpetrating by claiming payment for an £11,000 bill on a meter which is not at Ramblewood Farm, where the Fulchers live. The email also informed Kate Parry and the entire UK Board of Directors of E.ON that a criminal offence had been committed on private property by operatives claiming to be from E.ON.
That email was sent at 10:02.
At 3pm (that is, five hours later), Brian Pead attended bail at the Police Investigation Centre at Saddlebow in Norfolk.
At 15:02 he was charged with criminal damage.
Brian was told to attend King’s Lynn Magistrates’ Court on 13 September 2013.
Coincidentally, Richard Fulcher is appearing at Norwich Crown Court on the same date in an Appeal against conviction and sentence after being found guilty of two Threats to Kill and Harassment at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on 13 March 2013. The pig farmer had allegedly threatened to kill council officers from Fenland District Council after – note that word ‘after’ – he had complained to his solicitors, Hayes and Storr, that they had sat on his claim against the Council for burning down his barns and making his pigs miscarry
for almost two years.
Denied the right to trial by Jury by a negligent solicitor, Fulcher’s miscarriage of justice escalated into 10 civil cases against him within weeks of his unlawful conviction.
This modus operandi had been perpetrated by the police against Brian Pead also.
A full account of this incident will appear in a forthcoming book, but for the purposes of this book, it was felt important to add this surreal scene to illustrate that the police and judicial system will stop at nothing to silence Brian Pead after he uncovered the sexual grooming of children in Lambeth. His book from Hillsborough to Lambeth (co-authored with Michael Bird) is currently the subject of a High Court gagging order, and two websites www.allaroundjustice.com and http:lambethchildabuseandcoverup.com have also been removed by the authorities. On 16 July 2013, Caroline Addy, a barrister claiming to be an expert on human rights, applied for a permanent gagging order on Brian Pead. On 27 January 2010, at Southwark Crown Court, the Metropolitan Police Service applied for a permanent search warrant on his house.
Exactly what had this man uncovered whilst working as a Head Teacher in Lambeth in 2005-2007? Exactly why were armed police from Norfolk Constabulary just ten minutes away from a farm where a meter was allegedly being read?
Framed! provides many of the answers.
