This should be your birthday

Our precious child Zane, should have been 12 years old on Sunday 21st October, it is a time when many of his little friends are celebrating their birthdays and we soundly appreciate the happiness this brings, as this would be our only wish at this time; for our boy and his friends to all be celebrating and sharing these happy occasions together.

Zane being poisoned in a house infused with the nerve agent; hydrogen cyanide detected by specialist HAZMAT at 'Very High Levels', and the misdirections that followed have created a different world view for us.

We are left to mourn the beautiful times we had with our boy, his fearless endeavors at Go Ape on his 7th and last birthday, his looking forward to F1; as Zane was a special member of Brooklands Clubhouse from where he loved to cheer Lewis Hamilton around the track. Zane loved it when he went to Asia; indeed he simply loved meeting people wherever he went; neighbours, school, church, and the dojo for Tai Kwon Do leading the Creed.  As many parents, we had hopes and dreams for Zane, he was one of us, by that we mean one of that group of people that care about the other human beings around them.  Zane had chosen this caring path early in life.  Just taking a short period before his death Zane had helped the charity the Samaritans prepare for Christmas dinner, he helped found his great schools Eco Team, and was interviewed about why Sustainability is important in which he explained that we liked to look after our garden, but the world s one big garden that we are all responsible for.  Zane cared about his neighbours and wanted them to be protected from the local flooding, so he came to a small community meeting that reached out to authorities to act on these concerns, we were not to know just hours later Zane would pay the ultimate price; the injury and death he was keen should not happen to neighbours through authority failure to listen to repeated community concerns over flood protection.

Zane's death was preventable, and the truth of what happened was known, notified, and reported on the day. The truth about Hillsborough was also known on the day and it should not have taken 30 years to bring those responsible to justice following a flawed inquest. As the RH Andy Burnham pointed out to Parliament they should hang their heads in shame at the injustice done to Zane as he stands as a man of integrity, strong in his support of truth for Zane.

In addition to support from RH Andy Burnham and the Labour Party standing in support for Zane to have an Independent Panel Inquiry (which is how Hillsborough got the truth), unions, political parties, the public, celebrities, and organiations are also standing up in support, also appalled at the blatant injustices and blatant abuse that litters the Zanes case.  The Mail on Sunday headlined this wicked abuse as 'The Most Toxic Cover Up of Them All'. 

As we approached Zane's Birthday the Green Party Annual Conference unanimously passed a motion in support of TruthAboutZane. It was the final and a most memorable motion; emotional for leaders within the Party who were keen to reveal the truth, the facts, and protect the public from the ticking time bomb that landfill represents. http://www.truthaboutzane.com/updates/the-green-party-pass-emergency-motion-backing-truthaboutzane

Unions get it, they are also passing motions of support for TAZ and are building their own energy, momentum, and leadership, to obtain an Independent Panel Inquiry for Zane, and protect members, and the wider public at risk. Great unions traditionally amongst the greatest defenders of rights and justice like the Public and Commercial Services Union, UNISON, and our very great Fire Brigade Union are at the forefront. These voices, and the growing wider public, we give thanks to on Zane's Birthday; thanks to you we have some space to feel our heart felt memories of Zane, and hope that, together, we will ensure Zane's legacy is one of truth.  It is this hope that is something positive to celebrate on Zanes Birthday.

We loved seeing your little face as you beamed with joy all kitted out in  all in one green fatigùes as a warrior soldier running purposefully through the woods on a mission. You loved playing football with your friends, Quadbiking, indoor climbing walls, reading your Roald Dahl collections, hilly walks, rolling in piles of leaves shed from our trees in the garden having jumped from the seat of your swing which swang from the tall Sycamore.  You loved playing chess and would win with that glint of fun in your big brown eyes.  You loved seaside fish and chips in the summer, and playing in the snow with 'mummy daddy' in winter, and your treat of going to school on your bright red sledge powered by mummy.  

For years you would impress us and passers by with your bike stunts and tricks; the passing fire engines and their smiling crew would slow down to watch this cutsey; curly haired little boy, full of the joys, riding up and down the footpath in front of the Thames doing his stunt show.  Big Foot Sasquach; your new BMX,  had just arrived it, it turned out to be your last big Christmas present. The day of your maiden ride you were beaming with pride, then out of the blue up pops a young boy who asks if he can have a go. I was not surprised when you gladly handed him the bike saying 'you have a go'. You loved your bikes but you cared about people more.

Please raise a glass to Zane on the 21st October, the greatest gift remains the support of people that want to do the right thing.  If you could help us get more signatures, by forwarding the petition to more people that can help and support, this would be very much appreciated, the petition is at http://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/truthaboutzane

The power of love is greater than the love of power and this will drive us to ensure the truth will win.

Justice for all, not just the few

I did not know Zane, but he sounds like an amazing person, and I'm sure he would be so proud of all that you are doing. Loosing a child is the worst thing imaginable, but to loose yours in this way is beyond comprehension. That it should have happened at all is appalling, but that there should then be a deliberate cover-up is the worst injustice, and the cruellest insult to his memory and to your loss.
Sending you both love, compassion and strength to continue your fight for justice. I will also continue to send donations to the fund for TAZ

Powerful writing. I didn't know Zane yet your words bring him to life for me. I, no doubt like you, don't understand why the truth is not out all ready. I sincerely hope you get the inquiry before this year ends.

We will never give up fighting alongside you for the truth about what happened to Zane. Having sat through enquires, listening to the evidence, the cover up and lies were there for all to hear. We will be thinking of you all and your beautiful boy today and always, and saying a prayer for him on his 12th birthday. Zane should be celebrating with you, but that was taken away from you by the very people that should have been protecting him. Sending my love to Zane, and his mummy and daddy on his special day. The Truth Will Out. X

My thoughts and prayers are with you today, on the day of precious Zane's birthday. I will certainly raise a glass to Zane today and take some time to look at the beautiful October sunshine whilst remembering him. The power of love is greater than the love of power - Zane's death was an utterly avoidable tragedy and I stand with you in your quest for truth and justice so that this can never happen again.

I’ve been enjoying the beautiful October sunshine today, and thinking about Zane and his family on his birthday. His death was an untimely tragedy which should never have happened, and was completely preventable. The family have fought so hard to make sure another family will not go through the pain that they have. I will always stand by your fight and I am sending all my love.

Your strength and tenacity will prevail and the truth will out. All our love xxx

RIP Zane. Yet another example of the rotten system serving no one but themselves as they protect their God *money*. Hopefully one day the sick society will rise up and start fighting back against all these injustices served up by greedy politicians.

It always seams impossible until it is done. Stay strong and keeping fighting as the truth will always prevail. You simply can't beat a person who won't ever give up and I can see in the words of this update, how much Zane was loved and how determined and dignified his parents are. Their love for Zane will allow them the strength it takes to see this terrible crime through to justice and the protection of others.
Happy Heavenly Birthday little darling may you rest in peace and look down proudly at your parents for you are so loved.

Don't let the establishment crush these parents. This is one of the most disgusting injustices of the century. This is a precious child's life. This is the corrupt establishment at it's worse. Vilifying loving and devoted parents, covering up the sins of the past landfill and protecting their own jobs and cost of dealing with their past mistakes in remediating the land. This case has implications far more widespread than just this landfill but all landfill effected by flooding. The public must get behind this family and ensure they feel our arms around them during this heartbreak and at their most vulnerable time. The establishment must know that we are coming for them and Zane's death can not be kicked into the long grass.
What can I do to help?

My heart goes out to this family. There are many people within the authorities who know the truth and are powerless to do anything as they are controlled from more senior. These parents are spoken about so badly within the council and the exposure of this case has certainly scared many higher ranking individuals who are so frightened of the truth of this case and the implications of past decisions they have now choice but to do everything within their power to blame the family and literally bury the truth.
I am so sorry - God bless all of you ad God Bless little Zane,

Dear Harry, thank you for your comments. If there is any information/more evidence that you would like to share with us, your identity can be protected. Please help if you can. Contact the family or their solicitors in confidence.
Your help will save lives as this will happen again if the toxic landfill is left to kill others.

Many thanks
