Paula Robinson Manchester

Video Transcript:

I can't say I have a remember a time where a particular story was pushed out by the mainstream media and then shortly after has then been deemed to be a false story. So it's for that reason we've got to look at Paula Robinson. She was deemed angel of Manchester because she looked after some children at a nearby hotel. Now the news articles that you find on Paula Robinson all marry up. They're all saying the same sort of thing which is that Paula Robinson was looking after roughly 50 kids taking into a hotel and looking after them so that it could be reunited with their parents who would have been looking for them. Now like everybody that we've come across so far, Paula was interviewed the following day by Channel 4 and the BBC and she did a couple of interviews with them. Now just because the mainstream media have come out and confirmed that this isn't a true story, they haven't really vilified Paula nor have they apologized for pushing the story themselves. So I'm not going to overlook it for that reason and I still want to scrutinise the details of the story because ultimately if this story was not true and was over exaggerated then we've still got to look at the details as to how she was there and how she knows what's going on and all the rest of it. So I played the BBC interview first and we'll put it together from there. This big explosion just just went off so we came out the fire exit and as we came out we're directly at the bottom of the steps to the arena. So based on that description the nearest fire exit is there just on the right. Now just to the left there where those two guys are standing with the orange hive is jackets that's where the train station staff go they go into the train station through that entrance it's like a staff entrance. There were loads of people coming out but there was huge amounts of teenagers, young children, two carter arrived because they were saying that oh where's my dad, get my dad. So I don't know why we just got hold of them, then two children told them that we'd taken away that dad couldn't pick them up there and then as we were going people were like shouting and I just shouted everyone just made you way to the holiday in and then I put on social media which has gone mad and everyone made you way there if you're missing children I've got children there. So the camera cuts but we're following so far right she's said that she's come out seen two kids out of however many hundreds of piling out of there she managed to hear this conversation that two of the kids are looking for their dad and decide come with us and we'll get your dad to meet you at this hotel. The hotel in question is the holiday in so she shouts out to everybody to follow and then put it on social media. So how many kids came with you there? I was holding to me and my husband were holding two and the thing was that they were actually saying that they had a friend that was under toilet so I'd been brought up from them, they got lost from them so I don't know what happened to that little girl. Whilst the mainstream media have already declared this as a fake story and the fact is is that you've got to listen to what she says because ultimately at this point when this was broadcast this was a true story but listen to it she's taking two kids away who were going to be meeting their dad for some reason she's decided I'm going to sack those plans often you can come with us to a hotel and then this third child they've just left. It's got mistaken that I'm the help line so people have been ringing me they've been sending me pictures of the children I've had hundreds of hysterical parents wanting to know if the children are okay and I've tried to put it out there that I just don't know and I just don't know. So to just quickly mention Paula actually put her mobile number on social media which of course given that it was shared worldwide and people were obviously going to be calling her up given that she'd handed her number out. So you've had parents calling you today? Oh hundreds and hundreds on my phone and all with pictures of the children and just do I recognise them did I see them have I got and have I got the child with me and things like that which haven't. Again the mainstream media have beat us to it because of course they have come out and said that this is not a true story but I quite like this last little question really because it's very revealing it's effectively her telling the truth so listen to it again and take it literally. Have I got and have I got the child with me and things like that which haven't. What I'm getting at with that is that if the story was true then anybody who wrangle up she might have had the kid with them but the idea that she's just blanketless saying no I didn't have them meaning she didn't have anyone's kids with them hence why this story came out to be untrue. Okay so next up we've got the channel for interview now as always the presenter will tell you the whole story themselves and then you get to put a face to that story so here goes. Now some people have called her the angel of Manchester but Paula Robinson says she just wanted to help it was her wedding anniversary and she and her husband were going home after dinner from Victoria station next to the arena just over there when the bomb went off seeing the chaos and young girls running from the scene and he lost their parents she shepherded them to the safety of a nearby hotel before launching a call on social media for their parents to come and collect them. I've been speaking to Paula Robinson and again my ass here what happened. Before we hear again from Paula here's the place that he's just described this is the only place that you can eat in the train station it's it is a restaurant sort of speak and what you've got to do is you anybody can go into this area anybody can eat in this restaurant but if you continue on walking past you end up getting to ticket stalls and it's from there that you have to show you ticket and then you can get on the train from there so bear in mind that this bomb was at half ten at night I rang this actual place just to see what time it stopped serving food. Hey there shall I um I just wanted to check on Mondays um what time do you stop serving food okay seven o'clock okay as that change recently or has it always been like that I'm not sure I've got you tonight all right okay what about what about the person you've just asked might they know okay do you mind just asking Chris is it always been seven o'clock all right cheers show thank you okay that's very enough all right thanks for that Shirley thank you cheers bye bye now I'm not sure if this is the kind of place that you're going to have a wedding anniversary meal but you've heard it from the lady there and the team leader that the usually stop serving food at about seven eight o'clock at night so half ten is completely out the window so anyway back to Paula just how really loud explosion and everyone just started to exit and as we ran out from the station we were directly outside the steps but the arena everyone was just running down the steps and the whole direction a lot running towards the station and me and my husband just ran past and I happened to just hear these children shouting for the dad who was obviously picking them up so I got hold of these children and I said your dad can't come with us we'll take it come with us and we'll phone you dad which they did but then there was an awful lot of children that must have you know dropped the handbags dropped the purse as they haven't got the phone so I just started to shout that everyone met the way to the holiday it I could see it and it was the landmark I thought everyone would know where it was based on what she described running past people that were coming down the stairs it would take you just to this junction here and she just described being able to see a particular hotel and she's talking about this one well this is not the holiday in this is the premiere in now even though in the BBC interview in the channel for interview she keeps saying holiday in the nearest holiday in is as per this map and she certainly wouldn't be able to see it as a landmark from where she was so everyone just started to make the way towards that like everyone just whoever heard me and when we got there I noticed that there was an awful lot of children there and adults that were on their own so I decided to just put it on Facebook again that if anyone is looking for the children that making the way to the holiday in making way to the holiday and put my phone number on for people to ring me while the rolls out. That message wasn't everything. Been up all night trying to speak to people I feel awful because people are into the impression that I've got 60 children here with me in my home safe. Now I can't find the original posts these are a screenshot that somebody put on the internet but you can see there that she says we have got about 50 kids with us waiting to be picked up they are safe we will look after them she's mentioned about the holiday in in the previous tweet and then the one before she's actually correct with the hotel that is the nearest to the train station premiere in so I'm not sure why she's got mixed up with the hotels but in any case it's not going to matter and you'll see that by the end of this video but at the end of the day people's impressions that she had 60 children okay we're wrong and they weren't in her house but she certainly said 50 which is still a considerable amount of people to be looking after so of course people are going to react to that. I've had pictures of children sent to me with parents once and since I went the same I've had phone calls of parents crying and things and I don't have the children so it's possible you've spoken to parents as children are coming home. Now I know in my videos it won't particularly give my opinion as such I'm trying to present facts in her as simple and constructive way to allow the viewer to decide as to whether they believe that person's story or not based on previous accounts and are other pieces of evidence but I'm going to offer you my opinion I believe this upcoming bit regarding her being upset is actually real and I'll tell you why because we know this story is not true she is lying and because she's getting phone calls from genuine parents who are ringing up desperately trying to find out whether she has got a bad the kids she does not like the part she's having to play in this she's not getting upset because of the incident itself she's not witnessed any injury she's not seen any blood there's no reason to truly be getting upset what she's getting upset about is the fact that the story is breaking the next day as to what has happened and who's been killed and who's missing that kind of stuff and it's hitting home effectively she's doing this interview and it's hitting home as to the gravity of what she's gone and done I actually think that she's regretting it and it's the reason why the newspapers have kept this one quiet the stories broke out as not being true and everybody's just moved on from it and rather than vilifier they just leave and know with that that knowledge that she's told a lie and she's been found out now it could be because she fluffed the lines regarding the hotels or it could be because the hotels came out and issued a statement saying that there were no one accompanied children at their places who knows but either way I think this is genuine sadness but only because that it's hitting home that people have been genuinely upset about what's happened and they've rang her to try and get some sort of knowledge as to what's happened and she's had to palm them off because she's not helping anybody well I have because I've got pictures on my phone the younger sorry I've got pictures of the younger on the phone and I've had 50 other messages and phone calls I think half of them to see if I'd seen them but when they came upon the time I just realised that that was the moment I'd spoke to I think I'm the one who's that I spoke to I hope you see what I mean by that bit I mean it could just be a case of crocodile tears so it's neither here nor there because as I say the story's just not true my dad was a fireman and he always always in our hands he would come home if a fire had been particularly bad he'd help me and my four sisters out of bed where'd you fire exit where do you go and we had to be very sure well if we didn't go straight to it it was like a drill that's what we did it maybe I've only just started that just the second maybe but if everyone has this like a plan just you know I'm not going to take your life obviously like what if you've got a little plan pull it Robyns talking to me earlier so as I say the news articles are out there as to regards the on a company children's story which is just not true and he has the holiday in confirming that but then of course if you're thinking well it's not the holiday and she took him to it was the premiering in fact and then you've got this particular statement which says the same sort of thing and that Miss Robinson had taken everybody to a different hotel and based on her own story being able to see it as a landmark she is in fact talking about the premiering and it was the first Facebook post that she put on there so that's got to be the right one right problem is is that premiering also came out and said that they didn't have any only company children either and the police have then confirmed the same as well so it just further concretes the fact that the story was just not true and everybody fell for it and rather than remember that this story broke out and feel angry that she's effectively played on the emotions of genuine people everybody just forgotten about her I mean she'll have to live with it sure but the point is is that if she's won a various different chances that are trying to do the same thing and it shouldn't be allowed one last thing I just want to shoehorn in before the end of this video is that the security firm the private security firm Circo actually have a building that is a joint to the Manchester arena the weird thing is is when you do see them walking around it's just people in play playing clothing little like office people because they've just got the the lanyards with the passes on them and here's the building that I mentioned that they work out off now I have no evidence that Circo had any involvement in this particular one I just found it strange that they've got a building right on site for it and the thing is is that Circo are an equivalent size of G4S and you can see that they were bidding for government contracts as per this article alongside G4S so this is a strange story overall and I do appreciate you're watching this video because I know that you could quite easily just say well you knew it was fake but that was that but we still need to scrutinize it all the same
