Overview
In July 2010, Tony Farrell, the Principal Intelligence Analyst of South Yorkshire Police reviewed available evidence for his annual threat assessment against the people of South Yorkshire, England. He came to the conclusion that it was less likely that the events of 9/11 and 7/7 were al-Qaeda terrorist attacks than ‘false flag’ terrorist operations carried out by the intelligence services of western governments. As the alleged al-Qaeda attack in the UK had been largely planned in Yorkshire, and his annual threat assessment took into account the local threat from terrorism to the people of South Yorkshire, he reported his concerns to senior officers. He asked for time to produce a new assessment that included the threat from western intelligence services as well as al-Qaeda.
His commitment to professional standards at South Yorkshire Police that he must ‘not knowingly make any false, misleading or inaccurate written statements’ was reinforced by a religious belief that he ‘must not bear false witness’. When senior police officers would not give him additional time to revise his threat assessment, he refused to sign off the annual threat assessment on the basis that it would be misleading.
Senior police officers suspended, and later dismissed, Tony Farrell from his job on the grounds of ‘incompatible beliefs’. At the internal appeal hearing by South Yorkshire Police, the chair stated: ‘Your views are very sincere and you may be right but it is, I’m afraid, incompatible at the moment with where we are’ (Mr Hiller, Director of Finance, South Yorkshire Police, 2nd September 2010). Later, at his appeal on 6th October 2010, and again at the Employment Tribunal in September 2011, Mr Littlejoy (chair of the appeal panel) claimed that Tony Farrell’s views were ‘conspiracy theories invented without any evidence’ and that they were ‘outlandish’.
On the 9th September 2011, the Sheffield Employment Tribunal Service upheld the decision of South Yorkshire Police to dismiss Tony for ‘incompatible beliefs’ even though it surfaced in evidence that no police officer, no intelligence analyst, no police manager, and nobody on the appeal panel had checked the evidence that led Tony Farrell to revise his threat assessment. The Employment Tribunal panel refused to accept written works from Professor Ray Griffin and Dr Rory Ridley-Duff to rebut Mr Littlejoy’s claims that Tony Farrell’s ‘outlandish’ views had no evidence base.
This petition invites citizens, residents, workers and visitors to the UK to make an official complaint against the police service and employment tribunal service on the basis that this employment tribunal decision will affect them. At the employment tribunal , the Head of HR at South Yorkshire Police (Stephanie Barker) answered the question “are you saying that any person holding those views in South Yorkshire Police would not be able to work for them?”. She stated “Yes, that is the case.” (Statement based on the verbatim notes taken by a researcher). Therefore, not only is it the official policy of South Yorkshire Police to remove from the police service any person who questions the government account of the terrorist threat, the Employment Tribunal Service is now upholding decisions if they dismiss people on these grounds. The police service now has a legally sanctioned right to dismiss staff and officers who question the truthfulness of the government’s account of the events of 7/7 or 9/11.
This being the case, any person involved in legal proceedings on account of their beliefs on 7/7 and 9/11 cannot expect an independent, impartial investigation by the police service in either civil or criminal cases. All police staff who might be inclined to conduct impartial investigations into matters related to 7/7 or 9/11 will now fear dismissal. No member of the public who surfaces evidence of criminal activity related to 7/7 or 9/11 will be able to go to the police for an independent investigation because police will be dismissed if they question the official account.
Furthermore, the tribunal decision allows any employer to dismiss staff if they question the events of 7/7 and 9/11 in the course of their work on the basis that such beliefs are ‘incompatible’ with those of their employer. All working people in the United Kingdom are now at risk if they discuss government involvement in the events of 7/7 or 9/11 within the context of their work. As a result of this decision, no employee can expect fair treatment from the Employment Tribunal Service if their employer claims that their views on 7/7 and 9/11 are ‘incompatible’ with their work.
The signatories to this petition believe there can be no place in the police service or Employment Tribunal Service for people who reach conclusions in their professional work without properly considering the quality and quantity of available evidence available, and who show contempt for employees whose role at work depends on their commitment to establishing the truth.
Therefore, this petition seeks two things:
1) The reinstatement of Tony Farrell to his position of Principal Intelligence Analyst so that he can complete his work on revising the threat assessment against the people of South Yorkshire based on a full appraisal of currently available intelligence.
2) To suspend and – if necessary - prosecute any person in South Yorkshire Police and the Employment Tribunal Service who knowingly failed to give full consideration to available evidence before confirming the dismissal of Tony Farrell, or who has knowingly colluded in obscuring, hiding or distorting the truth about 7/7 and 9/11 in the course of their professional work.
Signing this petition will trigger an official complaint to Independent Police Complaints Commission and the Employment Tribunal Service.
Please sign this petition if you are (or have been) a citizen, resident or visitor to the United Kingdom and agree with the views expressed above. If you are outside the UK, you can show your support by reading the summation at the conclusion of Tony Farrell’s employment tribunal and contributing to the Tony Farrell Appeal Fund (http://www.richplanet.net/tonyfarrell.php).
