Mr K.M. Dalglish
Director
Liverpool Football Club
Anfield Road
Liverpool
L4 0TH
10 October 2013
Dear Mr Dalglish,
AN OPEN LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO
KENNY DALGLISH OF LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB
Firstly, All Around Justice would
like to extend its congratulations to you on your appointment as a Director of
Liverpool Football Club. This organisation is aware not only of your exploits
as a player and manager, but also as an ambassador of the club during the dark
days of Hillsborough.
All Around Justice is a small,
privately-funded organisation which seeks to overturn miscarriages of justice
and to defend the most vulnerable members of society, including a 91 year old
woman who was unlawfully evicted from her home by the Council, whose officers
also stole more than £1.5m of her antiques and other possessions.
The purpose of this letter is to
draw your attention to the plight of an innocent man who may, or may not, be
known to you. You are asked to respond as a Liverpool FC Director (with the
responsibilities that that role entails), as a human being and as a man who
steered the football club through its dark days of Hillsborough and the two
decades of police corruption that followed.
The man we wish to bring to your
attention is Brian Pead, author of several books on the entire history of
Liverpool FC from 1892. He has, in fact, met you on several occasions and you
have kindly signed copies of his books for him. Brian has had various forewords
to his books written by Billy Liddell, Bob Paisley and Tommy Smith, and
undertaken book signing sessions with Mr Smith. He owns the world’s largest
private collection of match reports on Liverpool FC.
In 2005, he took on the role as
Head Teacher of a Pupil Referral Unit in Lambeth, London. The role provided
educational and emotional support to disadvantaged pupils aged between 14 and
16. Brian’s management of the Unit was highly regarded by counselling
psychologists with King’s College in London and the pupil referral unit was
regarded by them as being “the best in London.”
In November 2006, Brian had cause
to dismiss a female South African teacher who was guilty of child grooming,
racism and bullying. At this point in his life, Brian was aged 53 and had no
criminal record whatsoever and he had never had any allegations made against
him in his entire career, including a quarter of a century in teaching.
However, just 3 weeks after
dismissing the teacher (who had not been checked by the Criminal Records
Bureau), Brian was unlawfully suspended by Lambeth Council officers and not
even told the reasons why he was being dismissed—which is an unlawful act in
itself.
In April 2007, Brian was replaced
as a Head Teacher, despite the fact that he had not even been interviewed regarding his
suspension.
On 31 July 2007, Brian was
unlawfully dismissed by Lambeth Council.
Between September 2007 and May
2008, Brian was researching into child abuse on a social networking website
known as Faceparty.com. He had uncovered an illegal sting operation being used
by the police and drew this to their attention. The police then turned his
investigation into their illegal activities on to him.
In December 2009, at Southwark
Crown Court, Brian was found guilty of a charge of inciting a child under 16 to engage in sexual relations.
There never was a victim—no such person existed. Brian had incited no-one. The Police had entirely
fabricated the charge. The jury at his unlawful trial had not been sworn in.
More than 125 exhibits were not shown in court. Key witnesses as to the fact of
Brian’s innocence had not been
called. The Court was told that the IT manager of Faceparty had emigrated
to Australia whereas he was, in fact,
still residing in London. The Court was never told about a computer belonging to a friend of Brian’s being seized
unlawfully by the Police and evidence of Brian’s innocence being wiped off the
hard drive by the Police.
The purpose of this Open Letter
to you is not to re-live the corrupt trial because that can be found in the
enclosed copy of Framed!
Before drawing your attention to
how this impacts upon Liverpool Football Club, All Around Justice is compelled
to inform you that Brian was sent to prison in September 2011 for the alleged
witness intimidation of his 12
year old grand-daughter, who has never been a witness in any trial or Hearing.
Brian was unlawfully held on
remand in Belmarsh Prison—a Category ‘A’ prison which was designed to house
terrorists and murderers. Notwithstanding that abuse of his human rights, he
was continually transferred between
Belmarsh and Wandsworth Prisons every 3-4 days in an attempt to (a)
psychologically de-stabilise him and (b) prevent friends and family from
visiting or contacting him.
This action by agencies of the
Government is a clear breach of his Article 3 Rights under the Human Rights Act
1998—‘No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment
or punishment.’
Article 3 is an absolute right;
there are no possible derogations. Many of the rights conferred on citizens by
the European Court of Human Rights can be over-ridden (i.e. derogated) in the
public interest (e.g. in time of war, where there is a threat to public safety
and so on); not so with Article 3. There is no possible excuse or justification for a breach of
Article 3 along the lines of, for example, 'an aggressive cross-examination of
a rape victim is part of the adversarial system of justice and is in the public
interest'.
As if all this were not bad
enough, Brian was taken one morning from Belmarsh Prison directly to Bexley
Magistrates’ Court where he was unlawfully found guilty of the harassment of his
daughter and grand-daughter when neither had ever made complaints against him,
neither had made a statement against him and neither appeared as witnesses
against him. Nor had he ever been charged with harassment, and nor was there a
CAD report reporting harassment. There was no Trial bundle.
It had all been an elaborate scam
by the Police in order to prevent Brian from communicating with his daughter
and pointing out the corruption by the police and judiciary and also to turn
Brian’s attention away from exposing the child abuse he uncovered within
Lambeth Council.
In March 2013, Brian was
unlawfully jailed at Pentonville Prison for a month for alleged Contempt of
Court regarding the book from Hillsborough to Lambeth in yet another move to
silence him. The book is the subject of a banning order against it.
Furthermore, on 16 July 2013,
Lambeth Council employed a highly regarded human rights lawyer (normally
advocating free speech) to seek a permanent gagging order on Brian Pead, a man
who—at the age of 10 had become mesmerised by the psychological management
skills of Bill Shankly and who, at the age of 14, set about the task of
uncovering the result of every match played by Liverpool FC from 1892. Three
years earlier, the Police had sought a permanent search warrant on his house.
Needless to say, neither application was granted but it demonstrates the level
of threat that Brian’s research poses to the corrupt police and judiciary.
On 01 August 2013, Brian was
arrested by armed police on a friend’s farm when he was offering legal
assistance to that friend (also the victim of police and judicial corruption).
Brian was charged with criminal damage, even though no evidence of criminal
damage has been brought forward.
Whilst in police custody, Brian’s
computer was removed—the second time that a computer he had used had been
unlawfully removed. The Police are refusing to give it back. On that computer
are the names of corrupt police constables, barristers and judges. The offences
they are guilty of range from breaches of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 to
Perverting the Course of Justice to Perjury.
Brian informs All Around Justice
that he holds you in high esteem, not for your exploits as a player or manager
of Liverpool Football Club, but for the dignified way in which you conducted
yourself during the Hillsborough tragedy. You will know, of course, about the
Hillsborough Independent Panel and the large number of documents which were
created by corrupt officers. Brian has been just such a victim. He was in
attendance on 15 April 1989 and saw for himself the mismanagement of
high-ranking police officers, who then sought, as you will know, to defame the
dead and the dying.
The specific relevance to
Liverpool Football Club
Brian’s website
<lambethchildabuseandcoverup.com> drew attention to the book from
Hillsborough to Lambeth and it gained a number of followers. The book itself
drew attention to Brian’s unlawful dismissal by Lambeth which was corroborated
by pupils, parents and staff. This differed significantly from the ̔official’
Lambeth Council version, of course, just as the accounts by genuine members of
the public at Hillsborough differed from the ̔official’ police accounts (which,
in any event, had been doctored by the police as has become evident.)
This followed the unlawful
removal by the authorities of the www.allaroundjustice.com website which was
created to highlight the police and judicial corruption.
The book from Hillsborough to
Lambeth drew attention to police corruption between 1989 and 2013 and Andy
Burnham, MP sent a letter commending Brian on his ‘search for justice’ and
stating that he “read the book with great interest”. The same Andy Burnham who helped expose
corruption in the Hillsborough tragedy.
Between 1 November 2012 and 7
January 2013, Liverpool Football Club was negligent by allowing defamatory statements to be made about Mr
Brian Pead, an author and supporter of Liverpool FC for 50 years.
Liverpool FC allowed a Police
constable to post the following comments on its website: “...Convicted Sex
offender Brian Pead associating himself with Hillsborough Families...”
It was several hours before the
offending post was removed, but in search engines that offending post still
remains. Liverpool Football Club is liable for allowing such a defamatory post
to be uploaded to its website.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr
Pead is an innocent man and the State’s unwarranted interference in his
life—and of those he cares about—is a direct breach of his (and their) Article
3 Rights conferred upon him by
the Human Rights Act 1998 and of his (and their) indefeasible human rights. As
matters now stand, Liverpool FC is complicit in these human rights abuses.
Liverpool Football Club’s
responsibilities
It is customary for corporations
and companies to deny all responsibility for their wrong-doings: Hillsborough is a prime example.
However, All Around Justice will not allow Liverpool FC to abrogate its
responsibilities in this matter. The Human Rights of Brian Pead, his daughter
and innocent grand-children are being breached by the Club, which had a duty to
ensure that defamatory posts could not be uploaded to its website.
It is usual, of course, for major
corporations (and even individuals) to allow comments posted by members of the
public to be held in a secure ‘holding area’ (i.e. not published directly on to
the internet). These comments are then carefully scrutinised and monitored and
either uploaded for the world to see via the
medium of the internet, or not uploaded and/ or discarded in a safe
manner with no harm caused to any Party (in this case Brian Pead).
Liverpool FC is therefore guilty
of negligence, although All Around Jsutice believes that it will deny all
responsibility. That being the case, AAJ reserves the right to publicise
Liverpool FC’s collusion with police
corruption. We believe that this will create significant negative publicity for
the Club which will undoubtedly, in our opinion, militate against the goodwill
engendered by way of the Hillsborough Disaster and the police corruption
highlighted in the Report which is in the public domain.
Furthermore, since Brian Pead’s
work highlights police and judicial corruption and in exposing child abuse in
its many forms, it could be said that Liverpool FC is complicit in covering up
child abuse by aiding and abetting such a cover up.
As a lifelong Liverpool fan for
half a century, Brian has informed AAJ that he wishes—wherever possible—to avoid litigation. He is
of the belief that this breach of his human rights and this defamation can be
resolved through constructive, mature dialogue with all parties sitting ̔round the
table’. As a qualified therapist,
Brian is always amenable to talking issues through before resorting to
litigation.
AAJ is therefore requesting that
you Chair such a meeting, since we believe that you will be fair–minded and a
valid ambassador for the good name of Liverpool Football Club, as well as being
able to call upon your experience of Hillsborough.
AAJ believes that it would be
helpful to provide you with what might be properly regarded as 'agenda items' for such a meeting:
By way of remedy for the
negligent acts and breaches of duty of care by Liverpool Football Club, Mr Pead
is seeking the following:
- a full and unreserved apology on the Liverpool Football Club website to be published in perpetuity
- the terminology to be approved by Mr Pead and his advisors
- a full and unreserved apology in the Liverpool Football Club matchday programme for the remainder of this season [2012-13 and all of next season 2013-14]
- the terminology to be approved by Mr Pead and his advisors
- a donation to the families of Hillsborough
- compensation for psychological injury [payable to the families of the Hillsborough tragedy]
- aggravated damages [payable to the families of the Hillsborough tragedy]
- compensation for Mr Pead’s time in dealing with this matter [payable to the families of the Hillsborough tragedy]
- all disbursements and travel expenses met by Liverpool FC
It is hoped that you will respond
positively to our legitimate and reasonable requests for justice. You, perhaps more than anyone else currently at
Liverpool FC, will know that the Sun newspaper ran a headline entitled THE
TRUTH many years before it ran the headline THE REAL TRUTH.
Mr Dalglish, All Around
Justice—just like the Hillsborough families—will not rest until THE REAL TRUTH
about Brian Pead is put into the public domain.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Fulcher
All Around Justice
