His 75% share in Porton Biopharma Ltd. Open letter to Mel Stride MP for Central Devon 30-04-2020
A friend via the net, has found that the Secretary of State for Health has a 75% stake in Porton Biopharm. (Later - in fact a 100% stake!) This is a so called pharmaceutical company that has its facilities in a 'science park' adjoining the top secret biological and chemical weapons laboratory on Porton Down, Wiltshire. Its web site trumpets that it produces an anthrax vaccine for the UK's armed forces. This is of interest since germ warfare is banned internationally.
Investigation via Companies House showsthat this company was set up by a Mr Michael Brodie and registered 27-11-2014. Proposed register office address - 1, Park Row, Leeds UK LS1 5AB Service address - Wellington House, 133-155 Waterloo Road, London SE1 8UG

Dear Lord Chancellor,
We hear today that there is great concern about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our crowded prisons in the UK. Staffing is short in ‘thousands’ and prisoners are being confined for long hours in their cells. We understand that you are concerned about the 50 pregnant women prisoners. Further, that you are considering the release of 8000 prisoners on remand.
We have written as doctors in great concern about the journalist Julian Assange who is one of those prisoners on remand. There is all evidence that his physical and mental health is in the lowest state.
We have feared that he will die in the Belmarsh high security prison. That risk is now made more certain with the likely presence of the Covid-19 virus within the prison, especially given his current association with other inmates.
We ask in humanity and for the law of our dear country, that he be released forthwith into the care of a fellow doctor’s family where he will be nourished in mind and body, and made ready for the May hearings of the US request for extradition.
yours sincerely
David Halpin MB BS FRCS

Dear Mr Stride,
Thank you. I am encouraged that you have contacted the Lord Chancellor, Robert Buckland MP QC. I am copying this to my six doctor colleagues/signatories. I should be grateful to hear his response as soon as possible.
yours sincerely

Dear Mr Halpin,
Thank you for your e-mails.
You should have received an auto-response to your earlier e-mail, which was not diverted to junk. My apologies that this did not come through.
I have shared the text of your original e-mail on Mr Assange with the Lord Chancellor and will let you know when I have a response.
Thank you again.
With best wishes,
Mel
URGENT Mel Stride MP - Central Devon
Dear Mr Stride,
I have had no reply to this, not even an 'automatic' one. I have had automatic responses from Mr Buckland, and the four other MPs of my doctor colleagues.
I 'phoned your HOC office - 'not manned at present.' Your Devon office - no ringing. Just silence.
Under the FOI statute I ask this question - 'Are e-mail's from this address being diverted/filtered into a junk box.?'
The public has heard no more re the possible release of 8000 remand prisoners. We had pleaded that Julian Assange should be among them - the risk of Covid-19 being very great in him given his very poor physical and mental state as induced by deliberate HMG policy.
We have heard of several thousands of convicted prisoners being released - possibly.
Please inform me, and through me my senior medical colleagues, what is the policy and the actions of the MoJ in this. If Julian Assange should contract this virus in Belmarsh whilst he is on remand for skipping bail the guilty party will be the MoJ and HMG, and not the 'justice' system.

I have read the FCO letter with interest. The last paragraph is especially disingenuous. The correspondence is recorded on my web site - easily linked by 'googling' david halpin or https://dhalpin.infoaction.org.uk/
I asked this -
Please confirm or deny whether these two entities (Saudi Arabia and Israel) are allies of the UK - via the FCO please. And, if they are formal allies, has the current HMG plans to revise this status in the face of international law and ordinary humanity. Neither question is answered
And tell me the total value of arms sales to each entity within the last 5 years Not given, but I know that UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia has been worth c. £5 billion.

Julian Assange Likely to die in Bellmarsh Prison

Dear Mr Stride,
I assume that you have not read the account by Craig Murray when he attended the Westminster Magistrate's Court 21-10-19
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/10/assange-in-court/
You and the very large majority of MPs who are silent in this matter, are complicit in his unlawful detention and torture.
yours sincerely
