SOME MORE THOUGHTS OF THIS BLOGS GOOD FRIEND MATT QUINN


Look! - An Elephant!

{QUOTE}:

"In 2000 a young Aberdeen Down's Syndrome girl called Hollie Mackie told her Mother, Anne that she had been sexually abused for many years by [REDACTED], Sheriff Graeme Buchanan of Aberdeen and others at the house of Sheriff Buchanan's sister, [REDACTED] Buchanan."



Elsewhere it emerges that this alleged Sister of Sheriff Buchanan has a husband who also shares the surname Buchanan... Unusual that! - It's been the Elephant in the room for some time. - Doesn't a married woman normally adopt her Husband's surname? Maybe she'd keep her own of course. Or perhaps if she were the last of her lineage the couple might hyphenate their names...


But in either of those case her husband would either retain his own name; or be Mr ‘Buchanan-Something’ - But he’s not! He’s just plain old Mr Buchanan. And he’s not the Sheriff’s Brother either - It’s very easy to establish that there is no family relationship between the Buchanans, who were allegedly hosts to these debauched events at which children were used as sex toys, and the Aberdeen Sheriff of that same surname...


Mark Daly of course used this to great effect on live radio where he made Robert Green look quite foolish. And foolish he had been. An example of Green hearing what he wants to hear, not checking the facts and having no eye for detail... And, as Greg Lance-Watkins published these allegations to the world; something that speaks volumes about his abilities on that score too...


So, Daly blows the entire Hollie Greig case out of the water with one torpedo! - Even though he acknowledges there is probable evidence that Hollie was indeed abused at some point! So much for the dogged investigator who never lets a line of enquiry go until the truth has been exposed. Surely some ‘mishtake’? One-shot-Daly leaves the wreckage to float away while ‘others’, having apparently spent the evening in the company of Messrs Morangie and Fiddich later join the fray on-air to confirm that they work with “big lawyers” on “big stories” and generally promote the cause of ‘big Marky’...


Elsewhere Daly’s to be found nursing moral outrage; spouting self-righteously about his track record, obviously offended that anyone would dare question his journalistic moral compass. Greg Lance-Watkins suddenly hoists his true colours as it becomes apparent his part in things is likely to be exposed and ripped apart... And Hollie’s hopes of justice start heading south as the whole case heads up mockingbird lane...


Green provided the powder for that torpedo, Watkins packed it; but it was Daly who fired it and then walked away in a strop; as cheap a shot as I can imagine...


However - Inconvenient though some will find it, Sheriff Buchanan is not a likely candidate to be the same ‘Graham’ who was allegedly involved in the abuse of Hollie Greig... There are a number of difficulties with sticking to the claim that he is; not the least of which is that hounding the wrong man allows the real offender to walk free.


That's not to say that I personally believe Buchanan's hands to be clean; I am of the firm opinion that Green's persecution indicates that man may well have something to hide... Some nasty little secret he would rather didn't come out in the wash. But, as Green of all people should appreciate; creating handy scapegoats does not serve the ends of justice.


Of course this does not detract from Hollie’s claims in any way. She was a child at the time of the assault upon her. She was doubtless frightened, confused, disoriented - and of course less mentally agile than the average person. The scum who abused her could have told her anything as to who was who; and probably did.


One is better off not attempting to comprehend the minds of the sick, debauched individuals who indulge in this type of activity. However can there be any doubt that they are dishonest and corrupt? - In which case why would we expect them to have given their real identities so readily away to children they were using as mere playthings? Hollie is not, In my opinion, lying when she says she was abused by a man she believes was calling himself Graham Buchanan. She is not lying when she claims to believe that man to be a lawyer; she is simply repeating the disinformation that was deliberately fed to her.


Green needs to ‘fess up’ to his responsibilities here; he was ripped to shreds on live radio by Daly simply because he had not thoroughly investigated the most obvious of issues... That same issue is the spark that will probably see him (figuratively) ‘burned at the stake’.


-Which brings us back to the same old raft of questions.


Why did Sheriff Buchanan not take the fairly obvious and valid route of instigating a defamation action against Greg Lance-Watkins and possibly Robert Green? And why is Green being targeted in this ludicrous way when Greg Lance-Watkins – who had far more to do with the dissemination of the allegations against Buchanan – is allowed to go as free as air?


It is my belief that, in journalistic terms, the Hollie Greig case as reported by the Greig Ladies is merely a signpost. – I do not say that dismissively, for as even One-shot Daly seems to concede, there is evidence to suggest Hollie was abused; and that cannot rest unchallenged. However the wider ‘story’ that emerges – for those not too lazy to investigate it - is not one that is particularly attractive if what the ‘journalist’ in question seeks is notoriety in the profession though cheap, flash ‘tabloidesque’ exposé.


The story that emerges is a soul-destroying tale of grubby little perverts living in grubby little houses engaging in a particularly grubby little trade to sate a grubby little appetite...


That trade is primarily in extreme pornography. And you may find within it people with a long standing interest in the production side of things. – At least two of the individuals named in relation to the Hollie Greig case for instance have specialist knowledge of audio-visual techniques. One of these is an ‘amateur’ who has often spent the price of a car on particular pieces of professional equipment. – And yet for all that ‘enthusiasm’ and investment has nothing much to show by way of programme material - or perhaps nothing that can be shown in decent company?


Elsewhere in the disturbing story of the Hollie Greig case we have other individuals, well-placed to ship elicit pornography to the UK and, via contacts in their ‘day job’ to and from other corners of the world. – Curious creatures that do menial jobs which pay far less money than could supply the lavish lifestyle they have acquired for themselves... Others still seem well-placed to distribute illegal material within the UK - The vestigial remains, for instance, of a once legitimate but now failed retail outlet would provide the sort of storage and distribution ‘front’ that could allow filth to be bought and sold and sent all over the country with barely a question.


Unlike Mark Daly I do not believe that the ‘through a glass darkly’ allegations laid by Anne and Hollie Greig are ether the beginning or end of the story here. Devastating though their experiences have been, the Greig ladies are simply, as I say, a signpost. What we hear from Anne and Hollie is flawed, it is probably inaccurate in places and at times hysterical – but it is not fundamentally untrue in my opinion.


A complex tangled web (often inadvertently) linking minor perverts, sex offenders, readers of dirty books, injelitant Police services, social work departments, medics – None of this makes for big blazing headlines or fills hours of airtime. Examining even a small part of that web reveals minor connections so complex that any and all coherence is quickly lost. And like a Spider’s web, any ‘vibrations’ on one corner send the creature scuttling to ‘wrap up’ any prey or predator...


Sheriff Graham Buchanan may well be easily able to demonstrate he had nothing to do with the abuse of Hollie Greig. And one might reasonably wonder just how much control and influence he has had over events once he’d started the snowball rolling with that interdict. – But really; why all the fuss?

What the hell does the so-called justice system in Scotland think it's proving by persecuting this man? - And why is the man who actually was behind spreadig these claims to the world being allowed to go untroubled - What hold does he have over those in authority?

The spark of a conspiracy theory? Maybe - there's certainly something amiss here.


For me, the one thing the persecution of Robert Green has achieved is to cause me to wonder what exactly it is Buchanan et al might have to hide. It has caused me to wonder just how fit for purpose is our justice system – when a rape victim is bullied and harassed and her allegation really not properly addressed – yet a hapless, foolish, yet well-meaning man receives the sort of treatment only fitting for a violent criminal or drugs offender for pushing the issue?


A reasonably well-estimated half million pounds of taxpayers money is being spend chasing this silly man down for Breach of The Peace – A charge normally used to clear the streets of shouty drunks!


Methinks the Scottish justice system is being run by Queen Gertrude; for it doth protest too much about completely the wrong things! - Really Mulholland should order an immediate end to this farce; it’s a complete waste of public money and resources; and frankly is causing the light of suspicion to be turned on the people behind it!
