The King’s Bench Division, known for its respected judicial authority, found itself embroiled in a deeply troubling incident. A disabled man, seeking to attain justice, was physically assaulted by Ajay Founellier while in the courtroom. Eyewitnessing the assault was Rebecca Hume, an attorney from Howard Kennedy LLP. Shockingly, instead of intervening or alerting the presiding judge, Hume remained passive. Her inaction culminated in a far graver issue: she later manipulated the court records, making the incident disappear.

Becoming an Accomplice to Crime

Rather than upholding her responsibilities as an officer of the court, Hume's actions amounted to a willful distortion of the truth. The records she submitted fabricated the event, rendering the disabled victim invisible and erasing the assault from history. This was not a mere oversight; it was a calculated attempt to protect the aggressor and perpetuate the interests of the powerful figures behind him.

Hume’s Affiliations

Rebecca Hume does not act independently; she is linked to influential media dynasties and their aging patriarchs. This group remains a dominant force in Britain's media landscape, wielding unchecked power over the narratives depicted in newspapers and broadcasts. They are deeply intertwined with the judicial proceedings, controlling what information is permissible in court, and viewing the assault as a subtle assertion of power rather than an ethical outrage.

A Wider Context of Corruption

The incident in London is indicative of broader issues. Similar oligarchs implicated in the assault are also embroiled in international litigation concerning their banking practices and fossil fuel dealings in places like Antigua & Barbuda. Howard Kennedy’s strategy remains consistent: shield the entrenched interests, prolong legal accountability, and obfuscate the truth.

Judgment or Lawfare?

What transpired is not merely the usual slow grind of the British legal system — it is a weaponization against the very foundations of justice. The courtroom violence, false filings, and ensuing silence from judges constitute a failure of the judiciary to uphold its principles. The media blackout surrounding this case further underscores the complicity of those who profit from the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, particularly when the victim is disabled.

A Call to Action

If such egregious actions can be committed against a disabled individual with impunity in the King’s Bench Division, one must wonder: what protection does this offer the average citizen? Hume’s actions send a terrifying message: access to justice is influenced heavily by wealth and privilege.

The question lingers as to whether the British judiciary will address this instance where a legal officer obscured violent crime to aid a corrupt regime. Failure to act not only tarnishes Hume’s reputation; it diminishes the integrity of the entire judicial system.
