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:-

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’.

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.
