What sort of person spreads false claims about survivors of terror attacks? An unexpected source gives Marianna Spring the inside track on conspiracy show host Richard D Hall.

Neil Sanders has moved in the same sort of conspiracy-minded circles as Hall for years. He鈥檚 been a regular guest on Hall鈥檚 show. Neil even says he probably wouldn鈥檛 have written his book without Hall鈥檚 encouragement. In this episode, he helps Marianna chart Hall鈥檚 evolution from a UFO enthusiast obsessed with alien abductions to someone who promotes toxic conspiracy theories.

Neil rejects Hall鈥檚 theories about so-called 鈥渃risis actors鈥� and faked terror attacks, and he recognises the distress those false claims cause to survivors.

In this 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 4 podcast, the 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring, investigates how survivors of UK terror attacks and tragedies are targeted with horrific conspiracy theories, online abuse and threats. Some are even tracked down offline too. Now they want answers and justice.

This episode contains audio from Richard D Hall鈥檚 website.
