Spotlight On Corrupt Cities | UK Column Interviews

from UK Column Radio · host Alternate Current Radio

Quiet-spoken Martin Brighton made contact with Brian Gerrish over twenty years ago. An email and telephone call led to a meeting where an exchange of information showed two cities, Sheffield and Plymouth, mired in corruption as a result of the secret networks of Common Purpose.When Martin's wife was intimidated by the city council, his investigations lifted the lid on millions in European funds that were used fraudulently within the wider Labour administration, which brought about a whitewash of the whole affair by the EU's anti-fraud office, OLAF.Martin experienced threats and intimidation which strengthened his resolve for justice. His research, which started with corruption, then unearthed the cover-up of child abuse. Ultimately, his investigatory efforts were to result in a South Yorkshire police raid on his home and the theft of substantial evidence which the police should investigate.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠UK Column website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [Support UK Column] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Telegram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram
