Metro – ‘Absurd arena bomb denier’ 

The Metro’s front page leads on a conspiracy theorist’s claim that the Manchester Arena bombing was faked. A high Court has described the claims as “absurd and fanatical”. Richard Hall is being sued by a father and daughter who were both badly injured in the 2017 attack. 

Hall claimed the attack was part of a government exercise and that survivors lied about their injuries. The paper says Hall is alleged to have filmed victims at their workplaces and homes and is being sued for harassment, misuse of private information, and data protection.
