I’m so pleased to have been invited to write about the Truth About Zane (TAZ) Campaign for the Green Party Women (GPW) website. One of GPW’s key aims this year is raising women’s voices. Excellent. I’m raising my voice for Zane.
Truth! Justice! No More Deaths from Toxic Waste! Three urgent demands we’re crying out to be heard in the name of Zane Gbangbola, son of Kye and Nicole, who died in February 2014, when he was only 7-years-old, during terrible flooding at his home in Chertsey, Surrey.
Yet it wasn’t floodwater that carried this much-loved little boy away, but Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) poisoning, detected at high levels in his home by the HAZMAT Fire and Rescue team on the night he died. His Daddy, Kye, is now  a rest-of– his-life wheelchair user, with a diagnosis of ‘Rhabdomyolysis due to Hydrogen Cyanide’, from the same incident – a diagnosis made by his Consultant Clinical Neurophysiologist.
So, why at Zane’s Inquest, held two years after his death, did the coroner find that Zane died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty petrol pump? Good question. The Fire and Rescue team did find a petrol pump at Zane’s home that night, but they logged it in the National Incident Recording System as having been found ‘cold and unused’. They had also tested for Carbon Monoxide (CO2), but none was detected, which fact they also logged.
Despite this clear evidence, on the morning after Zane died, the police publicly announced that CO2 poisoning from a faulty petrol pump was the most likely cause of Zane’s death. The announcement came hard on the heels of an urgently called emergency COBRA meeting, and before any investigation had begun.
The CO2/ faulty pump theory continued, unswervingly, to be the authorities’ official ‘line’ right the way through to the coroner’s verdict, given in 2016, which confirmed the same. Kye and Nicole (Zane’s Mummy) were not listened to when they repeatedly said that they had not used the petrol pump, that it was faulty (a fact confirmed by the coroner’s own pump expert at the inquest) and that they’d only hired it as a back-up. Their statements were ignored, and they were accused of lying. Worse still, the implication that they were ’negligent parents’ was stuck on them. Disgraceful! Nothing could have been further from the truth.
More and more evidence has since emerged that the land next to Zane’s home was a historic landfill site, and that the land is contaminated. Post-war, it was commandeered by the MOD for amphibious tank testing (munitions), and in the 1960s thousands of tons of experimental waste were dumped there.
Kye and Nicole also discovered, shockingly, that the local authority knew all this, and that four years before Zane died, they’d advised the Environment Agency to put a gas proof membrane into a new property they were building, right next door to Zane’s home. The gas proof membrane was recommended following a report made from a desk top study, assessing the land, which had concluded that the land posed an ‘Unacceptable risk’ with a ‘high risk of migrating landfill gasses’, capable of causing ‘significant harm, serious injury and capable of causing death.’  The local authority kept quiet about the report, refused to test the land further, which had been strongly recommended, and failed to inform local residents that they were at risk. Now, that does sound like negligence!
None of this crucial evidence, however, was heard at Zane’s inquest. The coroner had determined that Zane’s death did not touch on ‘matters of public interest’ and therefore did not warrant an Article 2 type inquest, which would have required a jury, and would have put the verdict on Zane’s death into the jury’s hands. By making this decision, he awarded himself, as coroner, absolute power to determine which evidence was heard at the inquest and which was not. There was zero ‘parity of arms’. Kye and Nicole were denied legal aid three times in the period leading up to the inquest, while all other parties were represented by top QCs, including the coroner himself.
The Fire Brigade Union have stood solidly next to Kye, Nicole, and the TAZ Campaign, questioning the coroner’s verdict and calling for a full and fearless Independent Panel Inquiry to determine the truth of what happened to Zane. So have many other organisations and political parties, including the Green Party, trade unions and thousands of individuals. Our petition calling for an Independent Panel Inquiry for Zane, was delivered by Kye and Nicole, together with Matt Wrack (then General Secretary of the FBU), to No.10 Downing Street, in October 2022, on what would have been Zane’s 16th birthday. The petition, signed by over 117,000 people, has been completely ignored by the government.
Andy Burnham’s (Mayor of Manchester) ‘Hillsborough Law’, now the ‘Public Authority Accountability Bill’, would reform coronial law, preventing the cruel injustices that have been perpetrated on the Hillsborough families, and now on Zane’s family. The Bill is still waiting to be passed into law. We can only hope that if Sir Keir Starmer becomes PM at the next election, he will do the right thing at last – speed the passage of this Bill and immediately grant an IPI to uncover the truth about Zane and the landfill next to his home.

Natalie Bennett has been supporting TAZ since I invited her to meet Kye and Nicole in 2016. She’s attended many events we’ve organised since then, including one she arranged herself, at the House of Lords. At Cop 26, together with Kye and Nicole, Natalie launched a new branch of the TAZ campaign ‘Zane’s Law’, at a Peace and Justice event hosted by Jeremy Corbyn.
‘Zane’s Law’ aims to close loopholes in the Environment Act 2012, by tightening up authorities’ obligations in relation to the registration and remediation of landfill sites and public health safety. And the law would require the government to provide the necessary funding and resources, following the polluter pays principle, to enable this work to be carried out. Zane’s law would be the first progressive UK law in decades to provide enforceable protection for local communities endangered or harmed by toxic landfill and polluted waters: A law to protect our children now, and in the future, from the dangers of contaminated land.
I tabled a motion to define and support ‘Zane’s Law’ for the October 2023 GPEW conference. The motion made it onto the agenda but wasn’t debated. However, I succeeded in getting the ‘Campaigns Committee’ on board, who have been immensely supportive in helping to promote ‘Zane’s Law’ as a GPEW national campaign. We created a resources pack, a dedicated website, and I set up a ‘Make Toxic Landfills Safe’ petition. Tom Scott’s support (chair of the committee) was especially invaluable. We included the as yet unheard ‘Zane’s Law’ conference motion in the resources pack, as a ‘model motion’ for campaigners/councillors to present to their local councils.
In Lewes, where I live, 17 Green councillors form the majority on Lewes’s Tory-free District Council. With the resources pack now launched, and the website and petition live, my friend and colleague, Councillor Imogen Makepeace* (see note at end of article), took the motion forward and it was included for debate at a full Lewes District Council meeting on Monday 19th February.
Kye travelled to Lewes to be with us for this momentous occasion. Imogen spoke brilliantly, the motion was carried unanimously, and a standing ovation from all the other councillors followed… it was a very emotional moment I can tell you!
Since then, four more councils have passed the motion and hopefully there’ll be more to come. Special tribute to Green Cllr Kerry Pickett at Brighton & Hove City Council, Green Cllr Gabe Crisp at Adur Council, Green Cllr Rebecca Aldham at Stroud Council and Green Cllr Polly Gray at Rother District Council. Thank you!
Since I launched the petition, which now has over 3,500 signatories, people with concerns about contaminated land and water have been getting in touch with TAZ, rather like the postmistresses and masters who came forward when Mr Bates put out a call to them, during the Post Office Scandal. As a result of this, Kye has recently launched l ‘UK Landfill Campaigns’, a supportive network and resource for campaigners, through which people can connect, learn, and empower each other. Together we are stronger!
I’ve known Kye and Nicole for over 10 years now. I was living not far away from them at the time of the tragedy, and I also experienced that terrible flooding in 2014. I met them at a huge ‘post flood’ meeting held at the Spelthorne Leisure Centre, in Staines, and it was here that I first heard the shocking news of what had happened to Zane. I’ve come to know, love, respect and admire them both. They are amazing people, whose love for their beloved son blazes through them as strongly as does their grief and despair at his loss. They are fearless, brave, courageous campaigners, who will not rest until Zane has the justice he deserves, and until UK landfills and water supplies are made safe for people, for our environment, and for our beautiful planet.
Little Zane had helped to set up an ‘Eco Team’ at his school. And when he was asked about why sustainability is important, he carefully explained how much he and his family liked to look after their own garden… but that the world is one big garden and that we’re all responsible for looking after it together.
Rest in peace Zane, we heed your words.

It follows a meeting between the Lord Chancellor and the parents of Zane Gbangbola over their fight for an independent panel inquiry.Zane's parents dispute an inquest in 2016 which concluded the seven-year-old died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a petrol pump used to clear flood water, when the River Thames burst its banks in Surrey.
They say their son died from toxic hydrogen cyanide gas from a former tip near their Chertsey home and the petrol pump was not used.
They have accessed public health documents that stated firefighters found hydrogen cyanide in their home, but no carbon monoxide.
The latest development comes after a meeting on Wednesday between Zane’s parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, Mr Chalk and Labour MP Richard Burgon, who is a long-term supporter of the family’s campaign.
The couple have repeatedly called for an independent inquiry but were previously told to apply for a fresh inquest.

On Thursday, a fourth council, Stroud District Council, external in Gloucestershire, voted in favour of Zane's Law - proposed legislation to provide greater transparency over contaminated land.
Three Sussex councils have already backed Zane's Law, Lewes, Brighton & Hove and Adur.
This week, the BBC revealed a landfill experiment took place near Zane's home in the 1960s, with continuing questions about what waste went into the ground.
'Heartfelt sympathies'Mr Burgon said: "Zane’s parents have been fighting for justice for over a decade. It should not drag on any longer.
"I call on the government to immediately grant the Independent Panel Inquiry. That’s the way we can ensure that justice is done."
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "This was a tragic incident and our heartfelt sympathies remain with the family of Zane Gbangbola.
"The Lord Chancellor will raise their call for an independent public inquiry with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs."
The department also confirmed that the Lord Chancellor had committed to raising with the Prime Minister’s political advisers that the family would like to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss the case.

However, a coroner ruled that he died from carbon monoxide from a petrol-powered pump used to clear flood water.
Zane's father said he had previously called for tests on the land to ascertain what materials went in it.
The BBC saw details of the experiment in open files but was refused access to further papers by Spelthorne Council. 
In 2016, Surrey coroner Richard Travers concluded the boy died from carbon monoxide from the petrol-powered pump which was used at Zane's Chertsey home as large swathes of Surrey were flooded.
Zane's parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, said the pump was not used. They have accessed public health documents that stated firefighters found hydrogen cyanide in their home, but no carbon monoxide.
And they also said they knew about the experiment but not what went into the land, which is why they previously wanted it to be tested.
Mr Gbangbola and Ms Lawler are meeting Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and Labour MP Richard Burgon over the case.
'LOST HISTORY'Mr Gbangbola said: "We've been aware [of the experimental lagoon] for some time, and there's a number of issues over the years where harm has been generated as a result of whatever is in that land. That's simply why we asked for the land to be tested all that time ago.
"Our only understanding is that it's listed from 1962 and the materials we don't know, so the only way to ascertain what is in that land is to test it."
Archives showed Middlesex County Council had aimed to pump out a flooded lagoon that was already being used as a tip, fill it with 30,000 tonnes of refuse and restore it to farmland. The experiment, on a floodplain, failed twice and was eventually abandoned.
Mr Gbangbola said the experiment was no longer common knowledge in the community, adding: "It may be a lost history, but it is totally known to the authorities."
However, health concerns have also been raised over similar experimental tipping, two miles away at Thorpe.

At Thorpe, in the 1950s, several councils and government departments were involved in a scheme where worked-out, flooded gravel pits were filled with household refuse, industrial material, power station ash and material from private hauliers. One pit, known as Pit C, could take waste from military organisations.
In 2002, former Runnymede MP Philip Hammond revealed problems with leachate (contaminated water from landfill) had continued for the next 40 years. He declined to comment to the BBC.
Anne Emerson's childhood home backed on to the Mead Lake Ditch, a stream that flowed into the Thorpe pits. Occasionally it flowed the opposite way, when residents would say "they are flushing out the gravel pits". She said it was something people accepted. She said at one time it was possible to row a boat along the stream and into the gravel pits at the end of the road.

Ms Emerson, now 60, has since moved to Ottershaw. She said she has suffered from autoimmune and thyroid issues for decades, but her thyroid condition has only recently been diagnosed.
She raised concerns because every winter the stream flooded their garden, where her family grew vegetables, and her fear now is the water was contaminated.
Ms Emerson, who studied plant science and genetics at Oxford University, said she learned about the Egham Experiment last autumn after speaking to Michele Haider, whose father died from a rare cancer after farming contaminated allotments in Chertsey.
Runnymede council, which covers Thorpe, said the only way to ascertain the status of the garden was for a resident to carry out private investigations on their land. 
Any council investigations would in the first instance look at the actual source of potential contamination, which would inform any need for more widespread investigations, they said.
A spokesman for Runnymede council said: "Whilst this would not be something that we could assist with currently, we would be happy to assist the resident with her own plans in an advisory capacity.
"The former Egham Experiment site is one of our many potentially-contaminated land sites which, when resources and funding allow, will be investigated in order of priority."

At Chertsey, details of the experimental lagoon were held in open records, but when the BBC submitted a freedom of information request to Spelthorne council for more details, reporters were notified of a non-disclosure undertaking following the Zane Gbangbola inquest and referred to the coroner.
Zane's parents also said they were unable to talk about inquest material for legal reasons. Ms Lawler said the couple initially refused to sign a confidentiality agreement but eventually did so "under duress". She said they felt "silenced".
A coroner's spokesman said: "With regards to any undertakings from Zane's family and from Spelthorne Council, our understanding is that any such undertakings would have been limited to dealing with copies of the audio recording of the inquest."

Chief coroner's guidance to coroners states that any recordings of inquests provided must be accompanied by a written notice advising that misuse may be Contempt of Court. The guidance includes a specimen "warning notice".
Following an approach to Mr Travers for more information on the landfill experiment, the BBC was advised to apply to the court for a recording of the inquest. The BBC is making a formal application.
However, the coroner's public report on Zane Gbangbola said Spelthorne had provided a history of the land since 1950 including licences and permissions for landfill use and said "inspections had revealed no significant polluting incidents".
Three Sussex authorities - Lewes District Council followed by Brighton and Hove City Council and Adur District Council - recently backed Zane's Law.
It followed a campaign by the family for legislation to provide greater transparency over contaminated land, named after their son.

​The Justice Secretary has agreed to discuss the case of Zane Gbangbola with an MP who is campaigning for an independent inquiry into the seven-year-old's death.
Zane died during floods in Surrey in 2014. An inquest in 2016 found carbon monoxide emitted by a petrol pump, which the boy's parents hired to clear flood water, poisoned him in his sleep.
But his parents contested the inquest verdict, and have argued the flood water was contaminated with toxic hydrogen cyanide from a nearby lake, located on a former landfill site, and claimed that was the ultimate cause for their son's death.
More than 30 MPs have signed an early day motion calling for an "independent panel inquiry with full powers to compel disclosure into the death".

Alex Chalk committed in the Commons on Tuesday to discuss the case with Labour MP Richard Burgon (Leeds East), who has been campaigning for an independent inquiry. 
Mr Burgon told the Commons that the boy's parents were watching proceedings from the public gallery. The MP said: "Zane was just seven when he died following floods 10 years ago this month. The fire brigade detected hydrogen cyanide multiple times."
The MP said Zane's parents have been "fighting for the truth about their son's death ever since". He said: "A duty of candour would have helped them to get it."
"But, in lieu of that, will the Government establish an independent panel inquiry with full disclosure so that all the evidence can be reviewed by experts, and so we can finally get the truth about what happened to an innocent seven-year-old boy and so that justice can be done?"
Mr Chalk said: "He raises a critically important case. Can I suggest that he and I speak to discuss it and see what further steps can properly be taken in this difficult case."
Labour shadow justice minister Kevin Brennan welcomed the commitment to discuss the case, but said the Government had not gone far enough on requiring public authorities to act "with candour and transparency" and accused the Government of "persisting with a piecemeal approach".
Mr Chalk defended the Government's record, including adopting the Hillsborough Charter, which he said requires public bodies to approach public scrutiny with candour. But he said: "Of course, we will keep this under review."
Mr Chalk had earlier told the Commons that the Government has imposed a duty of candour on the police, and is legislating to create a "strong, permanent, and independent public advocate to speak up for victims and their families".

A Sussex council has become the first local authority to back a proposed new law to ensure greater transparency over contaminated land.
Zane's Law is named after seven-year-old Zane Gbangbola, whose parents say was killed by gas from landfill. 
Measures include requiring councils to keep public registers of contaminated sites.
Lewes District Council unanimously passed a motion in support of the new law on Monday.
The motion was proposed by Green councillor Imogen Makepeace.
During the meeting, which was attended by Zane's father, Kye Gbangbola, she paid tribute to the "extraordinary courage" of his parents "who are still fighting for the full truth of what happened to their beloved son".
She added that the proposed law "would go a long way towards preventing such a tragedy happening to anyone else".
The Justice Secretary agreed on Tuesday to discuss the case with Leeds East MP Richard Burgon, who has been campaigning for an independent inquiry.
Mr Burgon told the House of Commons that Zane's parents were watching proceedings from the public gallery and asked for an independent panel inquiry to be established.
In response, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk suggested the two MPs speak and "see what further steps can properly be taken in this difficult case".
Mr Gbangbola and Zane's mother, Nicole Lawler have said when they bought their Chertsey house no environmental searches identified that the field behind the property was a former landfill site.
They said this only came to light after their son died following the flooding of the River Thames in 2014.
An inquest into Zane's death concluded he was killed by carbon monoxide from a petrol pump used to clear floodwater from his home in Thameside, Surrey, but Mr Gbangbola and Ms Lawler say the petrol pump was not used.
The family have said toxic hydrogen cyanide gas from the tip killed Zane and left his father paralysed in the same incident.
They have accessed public health documents that stated firefighters found hydrogen cyanide in their home, but no carbon monoxide.
A spokesman for the coroner said an "independent, full, frank and fearless inquest" was concluded in September 2016.
In a statement, Zane's parents said his life was "stolen when a deadly menace invaded his home".
"Zane's Law is a commitment to the wellbeing of our families, our neighbours, and our future generations," they said. 
"It is brilliant there are decent councils that care about the communities they serve - well done Lewes District Council in this pioneering drive for Zane's Law".

A Sussex council has been asked to back a proposed new law to ensure greater transparency over contaminated land.
The law is named after Zane Gbangbola, a seven-year-old boy whose parents say he was killed by gas from landfill when the River Thames flooded in 2014.
Zane's Law calls for measures including that councils keep public registers of contaminated sites. A motion will go before Lewes council on Monday.
The government said its thoughts remained with the Gbangbola family.
The motion states that current UK regulations are "dangerously inadequate".
It has been submitted by Green Party councillor Imogen Makepeace, who said her group hoped Lewes council would pave the way "for more local authorities to take up the call".
Zane's father, Kye Gbangbola, welcomed the move and said: "Landfill can be dangerous to local communities.
"The almost complete lack of transparency around where these [sites] are, and what's in them, means that most people are completely unaware of the danger."
Mr Gbangbola and Zane's mother, Nicole Lawler, have said when they bought their Chertsey house, no environmental searches identified the field behind the property was a former landfill site, and this only came to light after their son had died.
An inquest into Zane's death concluded he was killed by carbon monoxide from a petrol pump used to clear floodwater from his home in Thameside, Surrey, but Mr Gbangbola and Ms Lawler say the petrol pump was not used.
The family have said toxic hydrogen cyanide gas from the tip killed Zane and left his father paralysed in the same incident.
They have accessed public health documents that stated firefighters found hydrogen cyanide in their home, but no carbon monoxide.
A spokesman for the coroner said an "independent, full, frank and fearless inquest" was concluded in September 2016.
After the Thames flooded again this year, the couple had to leave their home, weeks before the 10th anniversary of Zane's death. They have said the land remains unsafe and a decade on they are still fighting for the truth.
Ms Makepeace said: "Many thousands of people live near such potentially dangerous former landfill sites and are entirely unaware of the risks they pose."
Her motion asks the council to write to the prime minister, health secretary and environment secretary to express support for new legislation based on the principles of Zane's Law.
It asks ministers to support former Green Party leader Baroness Natalie Bennett in her bid to advance Zane's Law and asks the government to fund councils to meet the requirements of any new legislation.
The BBC approached Defra, the Environment Agency, the Department of Health and the Prime Minister's office for comment.
A government spokesperson responded: "This is a tragic case and our thoughts remain with the Gbangbola family. Throughout the inquest the Environment Agency provided detailed evidence to assist the independent coroner in reaching his conclusions."

The parents of a seven-year-old boy who died during severe floods have compared their case to the Post Office scandal on the 10th anniversary of his death.
Zane Gbangbola died after the River Thames flooded his Surrey home in 2014.
His parents disputed the results of an inquest in 2016 and say their son was killed by gas washed out of a former landfill site in Chertsey.
Kye Gbangbola said the system which failed Post Office workers had failed his son "in a very spectacular manner".
"We know the system doesn't work and in this case, for Zane, it truly didn't work," Zane's father added. 
Mr Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, Zane's mother, have joined MPs in calling for an independent panel inquiry.
They say the report from Surrey coroner Richard Travers was flawed, claiming the full evidence wasn't made available to the inquest.
Mr Travers concluded Zane died from carbon monoxide from a petrol pump used by his parents to remove water from their flooded home.
But the couple say the petrol pump was not used and have obtained public health documents that say no carbon monoxide was found.
A spokesman for the coroner's office said that "an independent, full, frank and fearless inquest" concluded in 2016.

In January this year, the Thames burst its banks in Surrey in what Ms Lawler described as "a mirror image of what happened in 2014".
The couple, who had to leave their flooded house a decade after their son died, said a historic landfill nearby was still unsafe.
Ms Lawler said: "Nothing has been done to remediate that land or to stop it from flooding. No lessons have yet been learnt. Government bodies such as the council and the Environment Agency used the flawed coroner's report as an excuse to do nothing and to look away."
Last Thursday, MPs tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) calling for an independent panel inquiry and said in Zane's case the victims and bereaved had been "blamed, abused and scapegoated".
The motion said there had been a lack of proper investigation, masses of evidence undisclosed or ignored, and a "flawed judicial outcome".
The EDM, tabled by Hillsborough survivor and Liverpool West Derby Labour MP Ian Byrne, said the Post Office scandal had reemphasised the need for a Hillsborough Law and more cases would benefit from the transparency measures called for by Hillsborough Law campaigners, including Zane's parents.
In the Post Office scandal, hundreds of sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly prosecuted after faulty computer software calculated money was missing from Post Office branches. 
And last year, the government responded to a 2017 report calling for key reforms following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, but families said pledges did not go far enough.
During the 10-year campaign by the family of Zane, they obtained Public Health England papers which said the fire service detected no carbon monoxide.
Mr Gbangbola said: "People are now very familiar with things like the sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses and the way in which they were treated and [how] they went through proceedings through the courts but the outcomes were incorrect.
"Hillsborough went through processes, proceedings, inquests - the outcome was incorrect.
"It is now 10 years to the day when Zane was killed in a house infused with hydrogen cyanide." 
A pledge to consider a public inquiry for Zane was included in Labour's 2019 manifesto and the couple have called on their Conservative MP and ex-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng to help them before he stands down at the next election, by ensuring Zane has an independent panel inquiry.
Zane's parents will attend a memorial service on Thursday to mark the anniversary of his death, and have asked people to remember their son for the person he was as they continue to fight for truth.
Mr Gbangbola said: "We are a family where every day we have to talk about how our child died.
"This should be an opportunity to be able to speak about how [he] lived."
He said: "We feel the pain of Zane's death every day."
Describing him as a "remarkable little boy", Mr Gbangbola said: "He was bright, clever, and he did many things in the time that he was with us.
"He was a little environmental activist. He helped found his school's environmental team across the middle, lower and upper schools.
"He read at the age of a teenager, when he was only six years old. He raised a lot of money for different charities. Zane loved people and people loved Zane.
"He had every reason to live a full life but he was let down.
"So we cherish our memories of Zane as a beautiful child and we fight for truth."
A government spokesperson said: "This is a tragic case and our thoughts remain with the Gbangbola family. Throughout the inquest, the Environment Agency provided detailed evidence to assist the independent coroner in reaching his conclusions."
Spelthorne council declined to comment.

Thanks for the support you have given to the TruthAboutZane Campaign over the last decade, enabling Zane’s successful inclusion in political party Manifesto’s, as one of the greatest burning injustices of our time.

The truth is, little children should not die in homes infused with invisible odourless gas used to kill people in WWII gas chambers; Hydrogen Cyanide; Zyklon B. Then our authorities seek to ‘solve the problem of keeping people from finding out the truth’. A disgraceful stain on the UK exposing the systemic ability of those in power to protect themselves from being held to account.

Zane was stripped of any voice by removing his Human Rights Act rights, and no one listened to us, until we were joined by you. Add the supporters list. Now we have the support of the UK’s largest unions FBU, TUC, Unison, Unite, CWU, NEU, etc, Hillsborough Law Now, and the 118,000 members of the public calling for an Inquiry https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/call-for-a-public-debate-into-the-death-of-7-year-old-zane?bucket=+via+%4038_degrees (https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/call-for-a-public-debate-into-the-death-of-7-year-old-zane?bucket=+via+%4038_degrees)

You have all been Tremendous in highlighting this child state cover up to MPs at the highest political levels. National Incident Records, Freedom of Information, and honest decent professionals have placed the truth in plain sight, and shattered the false narrative pedalled across global media, that Zane died from CO poisoning; a substance, data, and facts, show was not even present, whilst the family had Hydrogen Cyanide; the deadly nerve agent detected in the house at Very High Levels, in their blood.

Zane died and Authorities Lied. The truth was known on the day Zane was killed on the 8th February 2014. However huge amounts of public authority time and money have been use to misdirect the media, authorities, and public, hiding the truth, demonising, and scapegoating the victims, bludgeoning rights to truth. Our campaign continues to be grieving parents seeking a legacy of truth to make sure people understand what happened and prevent these known harms happening to others, according to the BMJ 80% of people in this country live within 2km of landfill. If you haven’t already, please join the campaign and help stop what happened to Zane happening to others.  With your continued support we will achieve the legacy of truth Zane deserves.
