The controversial death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly threatened to undermine the integrity of the British Government.
Long faced and withdrawn, the widow of former weapons expert David Kelly makes her way to give evidence to the Hutton Inquiry. Dr Kelly was apparently driven to suicide after being named as a source in media reports claiming the Government exaggerated the case for war with Iraq. The excessive media and parliamentary pressure that followed led him to take his own life. The Government now stands accused of having driven Kelly to suicide in an attempt to protect its public image -- the worst case of political 'spin' gone mad. A full inquiry into the Government's treatment of Dr Kelly, chaired by Lord Hutton, threatens the reputation of everyone up to Tony Blair himself. Blair's trusted aid Alastair Campbell has already resigned, despite denying he misled Britain over the reasons for going to war. However, having come to power promising to be "whiter than white," Blair's government may find it difficult to redeem its once spotless reputation.
This is one of those incidents I keep coming back to.
I saw it play out on the news at the time and the sheer injustice done to Dr Kelly and his family still gives me The Rage.
Every so often somebody writes an article on it or I see a vid like this one and I go searching to see if anything new has come up, but I'm not sure we'll be allowed to see what happened in my lifetime.
You haven't been forgotten Dr Kelly, hopefully some light will be shone on those dark actors you saw coming for you and they'll be held accountable for what they did.
Have you read an Inconvenient Death by Miles Goslett?? I've just finished it and it really highlights the injustices and failings of the Hutton inquiry. Would highly recommend it, some revelations in the book literally sent shivers down my spine.
@@maxytwist I don't know if you realised but it's 20 years ago today that he died, can't believe that much time has passed! I have read the book, yes, the dark actors he saw in the shadows make your blood run cold.
If I remember correctly, Dr Kelly had done some work on some kind of ethno/ethnic bio weapon, which is worth going down the rabbit hole to look into. If they were looking into developing that 30 odd years ago, imagine what they can actually do now
@@luciuscornelius7177 Any sources on that last part? one remembers the SARS Virus that only apparently effected Asians in Canada, they locked Toronto down for two weeks, no one in or out and it was in the early 2000's.
As a scientist who would have known more about human anatomy than most, DrKelly was particularly unlikely to have targeted the ulnar artery. Buried deep in the wrist, it can only be accessed through the extremely painful process of cutting through nerves and tendons
if he wasnt murdered why is the inquest findings d noticed for 70yrs?????
People lied Kelly died, #releasetheKellyfiles.
@paul.alarner6410 What inquest? There never was one and the County Coroner, who by law should have had jurisdiction was bypassed in favour of the Hutton whitewash.
Sounds a bit like something else that they wanted to cover up in recent years. P fi zer is all I'm saying!
Those genuine working class people trusted Blair. While they were speaking , he was welcoming the rest of the world through the doors of the UK. Their future generations cost of living and job prospects on a long , steady downward trajectory.
Think this is suspicious? You remember that policeman who threw himself of a cliff? What the BCC won't tell you is that he was investigating the CIA for extraordinary rendition.
Does anybody know what police officer this person was referring to ?
@@asfadfsaafafs8528 I think they're talking about the Greater Manchester Chief Constable Michael Todd, who was found at the bottom of a cliff in 2008 and did indeed start an investigation into whether the CIA was transporting people against their will to countries whose authorities weren't averse to using torture. I think there was a claim that there were UK planes used?
Link to a 2007 BBC article saying that of course nothing underhand was afoot - news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6736227.stm
Also found this Wikileaks page on it. I haven't read all the way through and not sure who the emails are from/to or their context, but it looks to be a bit of a rabbit hole -

@@luciuscornelius7177 Thanks for the info'.
Blair didn’t know it was going to happen so it was Campbell and the uk security services or the CIA either way it’s clear Kelly didn’t take his own life
Agreed
This was the end of the BBC as an information source for the people that paid for it.
Blair is pure evil
At a minimum he must surely have had deep suspicions about what happened to David Kelly. But lets face it he would have had to have had BIG BALLS to stand up and say that. DAVID KELLY WAS MURDERED.
Cui bono? who benefitted from David Kelly's death?
He would have eventually had to tell everything he knew
Thats why he was murdered..
You my unknown friend are wide awake. Join us
"Sexing up" in this instance pertains to the introduction of false evidence/misleading information to assist in bolstering support for the upcoming 2003 Iraq war. In other words, implying Iraq was in possession of a specific type intercontinental capable weapon system Iraq actually never possessed nor had any knowledge about in the first place.
If you work for the government at any level you have to understand that you will get thrown under the bus by your bosses when things don't go their way.
Campbell is suffering severe and chronic depression as seen on TV on 2September 2020. Many causes for depression were explored. One of those was a sense of guilt.
He's suffered from those since before the Kelly murder along with, I believe, Alcoholism which he successfully beat.
He is a war criminal too!
Psycopaths do not suffer from guilt.
@@wallacewhybrow2705don’t defend the scumbag
Can we have some arrests and prosecutions now please?
blair's wife is a top judge, do you think she would let her precious lying husband go to jail?
@@msl381 well she wouldn’t be the judge at Blair’s trial so your comment is ridiculous.
So convenient that he died.
Logically speaking, would someone who's job was to go to the shitest places looking for the shitest weapons and family man, kill himself because of stress he knew he would get by coming forward? lol.
Dr Kelly you're a hero.
A true hero indeed and in a better place now for sure. And anyone who took the time to look into this in detail and think critically could see he was murdered.
16 years later I bet everybody interviewed here hates his guts
Let us not forget Keir Starmer's part in the cover up investigation.
He was quite close to a certain celebrity PDF file too. Wasn't he the white haired, washing his pants in hotel sinks one's lawyer?
And look what is happening in the UK now! Free speech is so important!
Some peple say senior figures in Blair's administration alledgedly have blood on their hands. They say with Kelly alledgedly out the way, war in Iraq could proceed. They say he allegedly knew too much and was seen as a hinderance to US and UK plans for the Iraqi invasion. Whatever happened, we will never really know. But to think such a gentle person he might have been murdered for political reasons is simple terrible. Rest in peace David.
Very nice well thought out article worth reading....... Too many determined omissions....
Reprehensible bent people that had far too much power they call a democracy. It may well come out in the end probably when they cannot be touched.
Flogging a dead horse come to mind? Sarky Blaire
The BBC have not been the same since.
God help Assange.
Why isn't Blair in jail?
he said the government exagerated their case for the war with iraq. what makes more sense, that he commited suicide for that or that the government killed him?
So, let's look at what we've learned here... the 'good guy' in this story was houded to death or worse. The other protagonists however are sitting pretty and on the up, business as usual for all these creeps ... Mandelson, Campbell et al
Blair and Campbell to blame for his death without doubt
How do we get our country back - the cradle of modern democracy?
The treatment of Dr Kelly by MacKinlay will live long in our memories......
i want to know what they put in the beer in sedgfield
Well... they got £200 for their gas. Pathetic and ignorant like a lot of Labour supporters.
this was the death of the BBC and my respect for my country. although i have the feeling Blair wasnt the real problem.
Agreed. He was a useful idiot for Bush.
Suicide,no,not in a million years.
Geoff Hoon needs to tell what he knows now he has filled his pockets.
How does the media honestly believe this was a suicide? Those people in the pub are the perfect example of the issues of party politics. It's like a team sport mentality where instead of voting for good policy or a good person it doesn't matter what they say or do they'll vote for that party regardless. It's dangerous and reckless and has disillusioned people. People of those parties can do terrible things and not get the criticism from as many people as they should because they refuse to admit wrong. I feel all people should look at politicians from the lens of independents and make the choice for the matters most pertinent at that moment. It's almost like cult mentality when people become so locked in one way or the other. I would imagine it's easier than ever for politicians of this era, regardless of the vast amount of information people have to see the voting and track record of individuals they'll still choose to vote for party rather than principles.
Blair was Thatcher's 'greatest achievement' and Campbell is now podcasting with ex-spook Rory the Tory. How long has that d-notice got left to run?
When the witness is treated as the guilty party.
Very strange all those involved will be met at the gates of hell
Grow up. Hell is fictional
Heart attack indeed!!!
Why when we ask questions dig and probe,do we never get any answers....I want my country back!
the elite look after their own ,it has always been this way all around the world.
@ilovemymum777 we will find out but never in our lifetime ,
