My name is Brian Howes and can’t believe how the BBC is allowed to make false statements in their so called Investigating Scotland program.
The video is so inaccurate I will be taking legal action against the BBC if I can.
This is just the first clip and I will point out some of the false parts now!
The Stockton Business unit was under licence to sell chemicals and that false beginning is a complete disgrace from the BBC.
We had to move because Cleveland Police told the Business centre we were selling Illegal chemicals and the Stockton Business centre said it was a breach of our agreement with them.
Of course all the chemicals were legal and it was an Opportunity for Cleveland Police to attack my family and myself. A copy of our terms of licence can be verified by Stockton Council and I will produce a copy on this and other sites soon.
The so called investigative reporter says we fled to Scotland to setup chemical sales again, but we had no choice but to move as my family were in fear of Cleveland Police and its Illegal antics.
I will point out many other items of misreporting later today.

"The Extradition Act 2003 undermines longstanding safeguards against unfair removal and unfortunately appears to be more about politics than law.”

NOTES TO EDITORS
In October 2006, Liberty, the CBI, the Institute of Directors, the Bar Human Rights Council, Justice, Gareth Peirce and others unsuccessfully sought Parliamentary support for a law to provide greater protection for British citizens who may be extradited to face criminal charges abroad.
Liberty intervened in the case Government of the United States of America v Bermingham, Mulgrew and Darby, to argue that removal to the United States would engage Article 8 of the Human Rights Act which protects the right to respect for a private and family life. Liberty argued that the interference with family life caused by removal to the United States must be disproportionate if shown to be unnecessary through the ability to dispose of the case to the United Kingdom. The three were sent to the USA in July 2006.
Home Office statistics show that the US government has made 47 extradition requests since January 2004. The UK government has made 12 such requests of the US.
