Examining the Conspiracy Theories Around the Manchester Arena Bombing

The 2017 Manchester Arena bombing was a tragic event that left 22 people dead and hundreds more injured. However, in the years since, a number of conspiracy theories have emerged claiming the attack was a hoax. One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D. Hall, who has produced a book and documentary called "The Night of the Bang" alleging the victims were crisis actors.

In this 8-part podcast series, we aim to meticulously examine the claims made by Hall and others, assess the evidence, and uncover the truth behind this divisive event. As content creators, we recognize the responsibility we have to approach these sensitive discussions with great care.

The first half of the series will present Hall's arguments and the conspiracy theory in detail. We will then spend the second half deconstructing these claims and determining where the truth lies. This balanced approach is crucial, as conspiracy theories around tragic events can have devastating consequences.

We've already seen how these false narratives can fracture communities and lead to the harassment of victims and their families. The recent legal action taken by Manchester Arena survivors Martin and Eve Hibbert against Hall is a landmark case, the first of its kind in the UK against a "disaster troll.”

The Hibberts are seeking an injunction to prevent Hall from making similar allegations in the future, as well as damages. Their lawyer has described Hall's actions as "appalling" and hopes this case will set a precedent to better protect survivors of tragedies from such harassment.

This issue also highlights the challenges lawmakers and social media platforms face in addressing the spread of disinformation and abuse online. While new legislation like the UK's Online Safety Bill aims to improve user protections, there are still debates over how far such laws can and should go.

Ultimately, the Manchester Arena bombing conspiracy theories demonstrate the very real harm that can result when facts are obscured and victims are re-traumatized. As we delve into this complex topic, our goal is to provide a thoughtful, nuanced examination - one that honours the memory of those lost and supports the recovery of the survivors.

By rigorously analysing the evidence and ethical implications, we hope to cut through the noise and misinformation, offering listeners a clearer understanding of this tragic event and the importance of responsible journalism in the face of conspiracy theories.

In the last few years we have seen a significant rise in the belief of conspiracy theories. From the dismissal of facts as fake news to the full embrace of conspiracy theories by politicians and commentators, we face an uncertain future. Democracy is under attack and our open and free societies are in danger due to a dangerous mind virus. Conspiracism is the new pandemic.

Welcome to our Manchester Arena Bombing On Trial series.

On the 22nd of May, 2017, Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the foyer of the Manchester Arena at the end of an Arianna Grande concert killing 22 people and injuring hundreds more.

A conspiracy theory claiming that this bombing was hoaxed and everyone involved was a crisis actor soon became a dominant narrative in the Conspirasphere.

One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D Hall. Over the course of this series we will be examining and deconstructing the claims made by Richard D Hall in his book and documentary "Night Of The Bang" only to discover where the truth lies. 

As usual, our deep dive series are split into two halves. In the first four episodes we present the conspiracy theory faithfully and with as little judgement as possible. All the while attempting to give our perspective as former believers as to how or why the theory may be believable.  In the final four episodes we revisit the theory and provide the often missing context and facts which prove the theory wrong.

You have questions? We have answers.   

Please be aware, this series will be examining a deadly bombing and we will be discussing details of death and injury. Listener discretion is advised.

Welcome back initiates!

🎙️ This an incredibly enlightening episode of "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy," featuring Rupert Read, an emeritus philosophy professor and director of the Climate Majority project. Our conversation delved deep into the intersection of climate change facts, activism, and the pervasive cloud of misinformation.

Here are three key takeaways from this must-listen episode:

1. **Dismantling Denialism**:

Rupert Read emphasized the importance of effective communication in countering climate change denial. He shared strategies to challenge misinformation without getting entangled in unproductive debates, focusing on collective action as a force for change.

2. **Grassroots Leadership**:

Read highlighted the transformative power of community involvement—from climate choirs to eco-consciousness in sports—that can lead to political and institutional reforms. His work with the Climate Majority Project seeks to channel vast networks of organizations and individuals towards meaningful climate actions.

3. **Corporate Misinformation & Responsibility**:

Our guest shed light on a real conspiracy of climate misinformation funded by fossil fuel interests, likening it to tactics once used by tobacco companies. He stressed that, despite feeling overwhelmed by the actions of nations such as China and India, individual and collective efforts in the West hold substantial sway due to historical emissions responsibility.

Get ready for a candid and inspiring conversation with Rupert Read and to stay informed about climate change and the actors behind the veil of denialism.

Rupert Read, a prominent figure in the discourse on climate change, has earned recognition for his forthright approach in tackling climate denialism. 

With an astute grasp of the subject, he argues that even those who question the overwhelming scientific consensus cannot ignore the tangible shifts in our weather patterns and the imprudence of perpetuating our carbon emissions. 

Describing climate change deniers as "risible" and akin to conspiracy theorists, Read highlights the stark reality evident both in empirical data and our day-to-day meteorological experiences.

Read's critical message extends an invitation to skeptics: abandon reliance on disbelief and acknowledge the straightforward logic that discredits unfettered carbon pollution. 

He reasons there's no wisdom in adding unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases to Earth's atmosphere—a stance that combines rationality with a precautionary principle. 

Rupert Read's story is one of unwavering commitment to rational discourse, advocating for environmental prudence in an era where such caution is not just preferred but essential.

**Expect to Explore:**

- The significance of everyday discourse about climate and nature.
- Strategies to counter misinformation without falling into the deniers' debate trap.
- The societal ripple effect of communal positive actions, underlining anecdotes from climate choirs to sports.
- Personal empowerment through active participation in climate solutions.
- Kim Stanley Robinson's views on integrating climate scenarios into our societal narrative.

Neil is back with another scathing review of conspiracy influencer's desperate bid for relevance. This time, he takes aim at Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson's new podcast "Fox And Father". 

Here's an excerpt!

So Laurence has done what many others have done when they piss their career away, he has started a youtube/twitter channel where he can hold a flame to the feet of truth, speak freely without fear of repercussions and possibly get away with using the occasional racist epithet. Like adverts for hot girls leaks, these types of shows keep popping up all over twitter, threatening to infect the audience with their edge lord rhetoric. And like said leak videos they are all just a load of arse.  

The show is called Fox and Father and I was immediately disappointed to realise that this was not an hour of Laurence being berated by his dad for fucking up his life and wasting so many opportunities.  

The father in question is Calvin Robinson. Calvin has previously tried to become a Deacon in the Church of England but was rejected due to his controversial and bigoted views. This is an organisation that in the past has defended paedophiles within its ranks, and yet it felt that Calvin didn’t quite butter enough parsnips for them. So Calvin became a Deacon in the Free Church of England, which is recognised by the C of E in the same way that Donald Trump recognises his daughter Tiffany, it sometimes vaguely acknowledges the fact that it exists. In 2023 Robinson was ordained in the Nordic Catholic Church (based in Norway) as a Priest.   

He reminds me of a talentless Canadian ice hockey player who, having been rejected by every team there, tried his luck unsuccessfully in America, the UK and Europe before settling in the second division of some African league in a country where the majority of people have never seen ice. Robinson has previously been involved with various right wing media outlets and has dabbled in reactionary politics. He too was let go by GB News for sticking up for his good buddy Laurence.  

I did wonder if the show name might be ironic, an acknowledgement of the hosts reputation and an understanding that many people do not see either of them as “proper fathers” but I doubt they have that level of self awareness.
