Writing for Investigate magazine, Prosser stated: "If you are a young male, aged between say about 19 and about 35, and you're a Muslim, or you look like a Muslim, or you come from a Muslim country, then you are not welcome to travel on any of the West's airlines." Radio Central reported on Facebook it was saddened to learn of the sudden death of "friend and UK correspondent Richard Prosser".

In any case, while he was still around and I’d seen him posting as of a few weeks back .. I have no idea how his personal life had gone. And for a number of reasons I do think that deserves to be recognized. And I do not mean simply in the idle sense of merely issuing a press statement to that effect. Followed by Winston making a statement about how that wasn’t the policy, Prosser had been speaking gravely in error etc. But that definitely was not all there was to the man. And that’s after I’d lead an internal effort to have him excoriated / de-selected, had been quoted in media attacking his stuff, etc. When I’d wound up in some tight spots – suddenly lacking a place to live etc. Go out, meet what would be described as “the other side”, and come away a changed man with changed views in consequence. Yet I must confess myself rather uneasy at the notion that that ought comprise the sum total to his recollection among us here today. Both to learn and to make some effort at restitution.
