Is Scotland Brave Or Is That Old Fashioned Hogwash?

Friday, March 9th, 2012

One of the great things about having a WordPress blog is that you also get entry to a tool called Google Analytics which allows you to see which articles you have written are the most popular amongst readers and indeed where these readers are from.  Picking a date, say 4th April 2010 nearly two years ago, people from 145 countries have logged on to my blog and hopefully hundreds of thousands of people have become a little wiser because of this.

I picked the 4th April 2010 because on that day I wrote a piece called Paedophilia: The Hollie Greig Scandal, The Dunblane Massacre & The Scottish Cabal  and in all that time since, for over a 100 weeks, this piece has remained in the top most popular pages read. At this moment it is riding high in first place for this last month.  Why this should be, I do not know, it is not particularly well written but it does bring together a few threads that two years ago were just hanging in the air.  What has happened since is that most of what I wrote then in that posting and in others on the same subject I wrote at that time is now just accepted fact and a few more names can be added to the list I appended at the bottom of the article.

For example two Grampian Police Chief Constables, Dr Ian Oliver, who was forced out of office in 1998 for a reputed botched handling of a child murder and who chose not to investigate the very suspicious and convenient “suicide” of Hollie’s uncle, Roy Greig, in 1997.  Roy being the only witness to Hollie’s rape by her father, Dennis.  Incidentally Oliver’s son, Craig Oliver, is now head of communications in the Prime Minister’s office replacing the infamous Andy Coulson of phone hacking fame.  The other Chief Constable to add to the list is the present incumbent, Colin McKerracher, who has recently shut up shop and refuses to talk or answer any questions put to him about Scottish cover ups of all that is bad north of the border.  Another gracious name is the Glasgow law firm Levy McRae, who are played like a fine fiddle by former Procurator Fiscal, Elish Angiolini.  If any one or anything has to be leaned on in Scotia, Levy McRae are the boys to do it.  They are implicated in everything iffy and down right illegal in Scotland today.

What is interesting in this climate is that those who stood accused of malfeasance in these campaigns for truth and justice have all gone upwards and higher over the last two years, whilst all the campaigners are being trampled on and forced further down the ladder of life.  Robert Green is now serving 12 months in Aberdeen Prison for thinking of handing out leaflets in a breach of the peace conviction that cost scottish jurisprudence a bundle of money to bring to fruition and which involved most of Scotland’s legal bigwigs and all for what.  A simple breach of the peace!  Ann & Hollie Greig are being dragged through the legal system in England and are now back in the secret Family Court awaiting a judgement and a very real threat of Hollie being taken away from Ann if she is deemed not to be a fit and proper person as carer to her daughter.  A daughter she has looked after for the last 31 years.

But the wind has changed, now on a daily basis there is a slow drip, drip of information suggesting that things are not well in the upper echelons of the Scottish establishment.  Judges, lawyers, politicians, high ranking police officers and top civil servants are all bound up in this maze of obfuscation and illegality to ensure that these wrong doings and criminality are kept from the general public.  But history tells us that this type of behaviour cannot be sustained, there are whistle blowers in every walk of life and these whistle blowers are like the oncoming tide which King Canute found could not be resisted.

I have deliberately not gone into detail about these case but you can read all about the grossness of Scottish injustice and the hogwash that their establishment puts out by going on to Hollie’s web site Hollie Demands Justice and spend some time there and also click on Robert Green’s blog on the same site.  Slowly you will be overcome with emotion as you try and reconcile what truth and justice means to you and how it is actually portrayed in Scotland.

One big thing you can do is write to Robert in Aberdeen Prison, he would welcome contact even though the Governor and prison officers are treating him with all the care and responsibility they give their own families.  Roberts address is:-

George Robert Green

Prisoner No 125799

HMP Aberdeen

Craiginches

4 Grampian Place

Aberdeen

Try and send him a stamped addressed envelope because he has to pay for his stamps and he will definitely write back.  I got one from him this morning and he does not know me from Adam

Are The Chickens Coming Home To Roost?

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Anne Harris, the Editor of the Irish Sunday Independent calls them the “coping class” and the Irish Times calls them “the squeezed middle”.  They are the ordinary working people of the country who go to work, pay their taxes and vastly increased taxes they are, after the bankers, developers and successive governments have flagrantly ruined the financial basis of our country.  These people are bringing up their families on an ever decreasing income but on the whole behave themselves and just get on with life as best they can.  These are the people any government would expect to bring them out of a crisis.  They do not rebel, they might moan but generally they just get on with it.

Recently however this vast majority, this huge uncomplaining mass of people, have been starting to think and to wonder why it always is, when trouble abounds, they are the first people to get their arses kicked.  The answer is of course that like the family dog, their arses are kicked because they are there and the government and establishment hope they will remain there.  But there are signs, faint signs possibly as yet,  but signs that this tolerant behaviour is being cast aside and the average thinker wonders whether it is because the plutocracy’s chickens are coming home to roost.

Various things have been happening in this big wide world of ours recently  to suggest that the wealthy, the bourgeoisie, the establishment who never suffer in the hardtimes, have had their day after their various antics have come to light and no longer will the coping class just cope, they will rebel with disasterous effect on those who choose to govern.  Even the big prop of our capitalist classes has had its strength eroded mightily.  The Christian Church, that harbinger of decent life and a definite ally of the system so far, has blotted its copybook and dampened its trousers in its headlong pursuit of hedonistic values and can no longer be relied on to capture the imagination of people.

It is well known that the press have had a very powerful grip on the minds of most for a long time and the government and establishment have been using this grip to their advantage.  The popular press have been feeding garbage and titillation to the people for a long time and helping to keep the public’s eye off the bigger picture which is the rape of the many by the few.

However the Tory inspired Leveson Inquiry into media culture and ethics, and its relationship with the police and politicians, is bringing more unexpected worms out of the woodwork than Mr Cameron really wanted when he set it up in the wake of the phone hacking scandal that brought down that superb merchant of trash, twaddle and sleaze, The News Of The World.  An interesting thing here, and it shows the rubbish that this weekly newspaper set out, was when the Murdoch’s, in their zeal to regain lost ground, closed the newspaper down.  Their customers of trite did not switch to another paper but just stopped buying an alternative.  It shows what that group of people wanted with their Sunday breakfast.

One of the above worms mentioned by that most unlikely of witnesses called by the inquiry, Mr Paul Staines or his alter ego Guido Fawkes, the archblogger, was in his condemnation of the British press.  He told the story of photographs of Mr Christopher Myers, one time aide to William Hague the Foreign Minister, who had been sharing a room with his boss whilst out on the hustings, which had come into Mr Staines possession and placed Mr Myers in a compromising situation.  Now I am not interested in the ins and outs of Mr Hague and his friends because all that has been mulled over in the press for years, but these photographs are interesting.  Mr Staines sold these photographs to the News of the World for £20,000.  At that time Andy Coulson, one time editor of the paper who had resigned because of pressure from the phone hacking furore and was now David Cameron’s press advisor seems to have used his influence to persuade the paper to spike any story that could come out of the photographs.  The photographs were never published and Mr Hague gave out a press statement about his happy marriage and all the papers covered it, but again the News of the World fought shy.

What also came out of last weeks press runs was the bravery of Richard Ingrams, who has been pushing boundaries for over 50 years, first with Private Eye and now for the last 20 years with his monthly magazine The Oldie.  He tells the story of another man long encumbered by innuendo and gossip about his perverted sex life but who always managed, being a pillar of the establishment, to keep his story out of the newspapers.  Jimmy Savile, that doyen of Tory Party ministers, who told everybody he came into contact with on these matters that if he went down he would bring the upper echelons with him.  The Oldie ran the story of the BBC scoop that never was.  The story of Jimmy Savile and pubescent girls from a remand home in Essex, whom he used to invite into the BBC studios and abuse them during breaks in his television rehersals, was withdrawn at the last minute by BBC senior management because it implicated both the BBC and two living celebrities.  Now everybody needs to be concerned at this facet of his libido because Savile’s whole persona, created from 25 years at the BBC, was in his handling and dealing with children and if this story is true, and I think it is, his whole image would need to be removed from public life. Rumours of this man’s mores have been circulating for years.  Even I ran a story on 23 April 2010 on this topic and Jimmy Savile’s contribution which was backed up for me by a restaurateur in the New Forest who often used to cook for Ted Heath, when Jimmy brought a new batch of boys down for Ted to savour.

The real problem with all this news is that it is getting to close for comfort for those at the top of the tree, those who have been, by doubtful means, controlling your every breath.  Take for example that thorn in the side of the Scottish legal system, Mr Robert Green and his campaign for justice for Hollie Greig, a young Scottish Downs Syndrome girl who was horribly abused for many years by a large ring of top of the range paedophiles in Aberdeen, which included judges, police officers, social workers and teachers. He was recently found guilty of breach of the peace at Stonehaven Sheriff’s Court after undergoing something like 20 court appearances, costing well over £500,000 in public money and involving 64 prosecution witnesses and engaged the services of most of the top brass of the Scottish Justice Department.  All this for a breach of the peace hearing.  The only top dog who did not appear was the former Procurator Fiscal of Scotland, Elish Angiolini, whom Robert wanted to call as a witness but was not allowed by Sheriff Principal Edward Bowen, who at the trial did not declare his relationship with Angiolini.  This was the same Elish Angiolini who resigned in mysterious circumstances last May when supposedly at the height of her powers as Procurator Fiscal.

Robert however has now managed to pin down Miss Angiolini and has had a file opened on her and been granted a crime number by Lothian Police.  Now where does Angiolini live but in Dunblane, scene of terrible circumstances 16 years ago, when a lone gun man, Robert Hamilton, shot and killed 16 children and a teacher.  Hamilton was a suspected paedophile who was implicated with George Robertson, or to give him his full title, Baron Robertson of Port Ellen, one time Labour Defence Secretary and Nato Secretary General, who disappeared off the radar very quickly in 2004.  George also lives in Dunblane, along with, it seems, some very important people.  Not bad for a town of 8,000 inhabitants.  I wrote a blog posting about this particular coven entitled Paedophilia, The Hollie Greig Scandal, The Dunblane Massacre And The Scottish Cabal on 4 April 2010 which proved to be the most popular piece I have ever written.  It is still there in the top 3 most widely read blogs of mine after two years and so are all these people we have spoken about, but there time will come.  Their chickens will eventually come home to roost especially when the coping classes rise up.

The Times They Are A-Changin’.

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

It seems that the times are definitely a-changin’ at least in Scotland where things are falling off the top table, and about time too.

It all started when Michael Moore, the Liberal Democrat MP for Berwick, Roxburgh and Selkirk and Secretary of State for Scotland, started taking an interest in the Hollie Greig Case in Scotland.

If you do not know what the Hollie Greig Case is all about, shame on you. I have written a few blogs in the past notably:-
Gunfight At The OK Corral posted on 12.5.10
Charlatans, Backstabbers And Sidewinders posted on 10.5.10
General Election Day 2010 posted on 6.5.10

Hollie Greig, Robert Green And The Sham That Is Scottish Justice posted on 20.4.10
Paedophilia, The Hollie Greig Scandal, The Dunblane Massacre And The Scottish Cabal posted on 4.4.10

So read those before you continue with this.

This campaign started to take on a more mature and circumspect approach to its task in hand when Robert Green, the hero of the case, managed to get himself some proper legal advice in the late spring of this year.

As I said, before the Secretary of State for Scotland, Mr Moore, took an interest and wrote off to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Mr Kenneth Clarke, on 15.7.10 asking why this matter had not been properly investigated. This letter, because of its Scottish interest was passed on to the Crown Office in Edinburgh and Mr Frank Mulholland QC, The Solicitor General, replied on 15.8.10 saying that these historical allegations had been investigated by Grampian Police and the local Procurator Fiscal and all evidence had been reported to the Crown Office who decided that “there was insufficient admissable, credible and reliable evidence in respect of these allegation”

In a previous statement by the Crown Office, a solicitor had said that all the recent investigations in the case had been stopped by the Lord Advocate, Elish Angiolini, the senior legal officer in Scotland. The same Elish Angiolini was Procurator Fiscal of Grampian Region all those years before when this case came to light and the evidence was considered “insufficient admissable credible, reliable evidence”.

Mr Moore showed Mulholland’s letter to Mr Green, who immediately replied restating all the points in the case including all the recent developements and asked him to withdraw his letter to the Secretary of State for Scotland because he had been badly advised and to re-open the investigations but the first step had to be the removal of the Lord Advocate from her position.

That letter from Robert Green was dated the 7.9.10 and was never answered but would you believe that on the 1.10.10, three weeks later, appropriately at the Annual Sexual Offences Conference in Glasgow, the Lord Advocate, Elish Angiolini, announced that she was stepping down from office.

Now nobody in that line of work, at 50 years of age, at the top of her powers, steps down from the top job in the land to go and make scones unless she had been forced to. Unless she was pushed, her elfin features no longer to radiate and beguile along the sexually besmirched corridors of the Scottish Legal Justice system.

To add fuel to the flames and I suppose in some way to divert Angiolini’s dark presence away from the Hollie Greig case, Professor Robert Black QC, Emeritus Professor of Law at Edinburgh University has described Angiolini’s tenure as “a disasterous experiment” quoting the Lockerbie Case and he reccommends an outsider being brought in rather than the favourite for the position, our friend Mr Mulholland, because that smacks of dynasticism.

And so one more critter bites the dust and there is still a long way to go but at least the times are certainly a-changin’.

Scotland The Not So Brave.

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Further to my blog on 4th April 2010 Paedophilia: The Hollie Grieg Scandal, The Dunblane Massacre & The Scottish Cabal, Robert Green, the freelance journalist and investigator who has taken on a chief role in this case has been arrested again.

He had been arrested before in Aberdeen in February and charged with breach of the peace.  He was freed on bail on condition that he did not speak of the case in public and that he reports in to Warrington Police Station daily.  He was in the process of doing this when he was arrested again on 15th April and transported up to Grampian Police in Aberdeen, where he was arrested, questioned and released the following day on to the streets of Aberdeen, 300 miles from his home.

He again was warned not to speak of this case in public but he has continued to do so, absolutely convinced is he, of the truth of his campaign and the systematic cover up and protection of the higher stratas of Aberdeen society.  He is now going to fight the Aberdeen South Parliamentary Seat in the forthcoming General Election on a Hollie Demands      Justice ticket.  I hope he makes his point,  whether the burghers of Aberdeen vote for him against their establishment is another thing, but it strikes me he is in a win/win situation.

Two of the names that are really standing out in this ring of paedophilic cover-up is the Sheriff of Aberdeen, Graeme Buchanan, and the Lord Advocate of Scotland, Elish Angiolini, who instead of stating her position as Lord Advocate in this matter, has decided to hide her person behind the muscle of a very antagonistic law firm, Levy & McRae.

Ms Angiolini’s previous role was as Procurator Fiscal for Grampian, Highlands and Islands.  In this position a case came forward of a ten year old girl who had been sexually abused by a male relative.  Ms. Angiolini delayed and delayed bringing this case to court until she did bring it before the Sheriff of Aberdeen, Graeme Buchanan and he deemed the case out of time, three years had been wasted by Angiolini.  The case was dismissed.

Two cases of alleged paedophilia involving the same two officials.  How many more are there?  Might it also be said that Kenneth MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary is an ex-Levy & McRae lawyer and he is at this moment bringing in a gagging law to prevent people harrassing their victims on line.  The same charge brought against Robert Green when he was first arrested in February.

So keep in mind the following names and let us see what happens to them in the next six months:-

Elish Angiolini – Lord Advocate of Scotland.

Graeme Buchanan – Sheriff of Aberdeen.

Levy & McRae – Solicitors to the Establishment.

Kenneth MacAskill – The Scottish Justice Secretary.

Alec Salmond – The First Minister of Scotland.

The bee’s knees of Scottish legal and political goodies.

This is  big and it is only going to get bigger, going to the heart of society in Scotland and their first cousins in England.  It is squeaky bum time for the establishment.  It reminds me of the words uttered by Mahatma Gandhi when faced with a another case of omerta by the British.  First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you and then you win.
