Richard Medhurst was arrested at Heathrow just two days before one man he was supposed to interview was killed in a car accident and five days before the other man was killed in a boating accident.
“On Thursday, as I landed in London’s Heathrow airport, I was immediately escorted off the plane by six police officers who were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft. They arrested me – not detained – they arrested me under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act of 2000 and accused me of allegedly ‘expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization’ but wouldn’t explain what this meant,” Medhurst says in the video.
Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 has a clause that was added in 2019 that made it illegal to “expresses an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization” if “in doing so is reckless as to whether a person to whom the expression is directed will be encouraged to support a proscribed organization.”
I have very little doubt that neither of those two deaths were genuinely accidents. As for the idea that a waterspout could be a man-made weapon, I remind you of my introversion of the famous Holmsian aphorism: due to the finite bounds of human knowledge, the impossible is always far more likely than the improbable.
