[ Part 4 of 4 ] The Truth

Hidden documents and files are released through a Freedom of Information request, strongly suggesting that what actually happened on August 31, 2009 was different to the narrative presented by the press — and in court.

In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you’ll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It’s a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.

Listen ad-free and early: The entire series is available ad-free on our premium feeds - Amazon Music (included with Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.
