This blog mainly covers and archives some of the material surrounding the Hollie Greig case, and explores my own, properly researched position as a legitimate media professional who has spent years actually working to get to the truth of it... It's main purpose is to act as a public record of my position on the case. It's not a discussion forum, I'm not here to entertain or give the oxygen of publicity to nutters...

And, importantly, unlike others, this blog is not purposed to distract attention away from the Hollie Grieg case or obfuscate the issues surrounding child sexual abuse generally...

Also in stark contrast to many others is the fact that I'm not begging for cash. There is no mechanism for you to donate money to me. There are no books or DVDs you can buy from me on the Hollie Greig case... Nor for that matter any similar case.

I am not here to promote vapid conspiracy theories! - And glad to say that certain perverts who have crossed me in the past actually have gone to jail for their crimes against children.

And please note carefully, your approval of me or what I write is of no relevance or interest to me... I don't require your attention, I don't want your money and I have nothing - except reality - to promote here.

My only interest is in the truth of the case, and seeing those who abuse children brought to justice through the courts. And that does seem to scare certain people - mainly criminals and perverts - out of their wits...

What have they got to hide?

19. The Bookworm…


FOREWORD

26th of September 2015...

I have tonight a contemporaneous account of a real pervert facing real justice in this very parish...  Something of a contrast to the often-decades-old regurgitated guff you'll find elsewhere, authored by Malcolm 'Con-man' Ogilvy... A unwashed Stoner/Waster deemed too dangerous to even be allowed to see his own flesh and blood... 

Such creatures having little genuine concern for seeing justice meted out to real perverts, the very real story of openly, rabidly-Loyalist and Masonic (odd for a man supposedly from a 'Catholic' family) pervert Hugh 'Mitch' Mitchell of Kirknewton is noticeably absent from Malcolm Konrad Ogilvy's site...  Despite the fact it's the tale of a well-connected Mason with an ex-services background against whom suspicions were first voiced almost twenty years ago; and about whom the authorities did nothing, except cover-up for him...

Malky has nothing to say on the subject. - I wonder why that is?


********

It must have been late 1996 or early 1997 when I first met Hugh "Mitch" Mitchell…  My daughter was just months old. We were thrown together in a project for a major broadcaster, Mitch being, supposedly, an ex-SSVC (Services Sound and Vision Corporation) Cameraman and ex-army.  All the gear but little idea was my overriding impression of Mitch. Like most freelancers, he worked from home, with an edit suite in his spare (front) bedroom in the modest three-bedroom ex-army semi-detached house he occupied with his wife Gill. - In a fairly expensive and exclusive village just a mile or two from the Edinburgh city boundary.  – Kirknewton.  

I'm quite prepared to name and shame Gill Mitchell MBE in this piece because I am convinced she must have known what her husband was. She was (is?) a strange, bland looking, English-sounding creature… About a decade his junior, 'dressed like her Mother type' quite cold and unfriendly; though rather 'polished' in demeanour and quite incongruous with the diminutive scruffy Mitch with his rotten teeth and unkempt hair – the latter often a feature of those who had endured crew-cut years in the services; as if they were making up for lost time.

The Mitchell household was 'odd'… One had the feeling he was always in the dog-house; and signs abounded that he often slept in his edit suite!  They had no children – which is probably as well… And they were no normal loving couple; some in the village imagining them to be Brother and Sister… Or a 'lavender marriage'... Or for some other convenience...

I had the feeling Mitch was being thrown commissions largely off the 'debt' some might have perceived the country owed him as an ex-serviceman. He certainly wasn't much of a cameraman nor editor nor much of anything else. A dozen years my elder, after the Army he had, apparently attended an HNC course in video production at Stevenson College in Edinburgh - and there were his claims to have worked at SSVC; I saw little to convince me I was working with a peer. 

But business is business; and we were often assigned to the same events. And clearly, from his array of brand-new broadcast video equipment, he had money to invest.

I worked with Mitch for about eighteen months, mainly on a joint project to secure the 'Restricted Service License' (RSL) for West Lothian… A license to broadcast a local TV channel from an office near The Regal Community Theatre in Bathgate. – This was in the days of analogue television; and the bid involved seeking the approval of the ITC with a view to being allocated space on the broadcast spectrum.  Mitchell was supposed to contribute some £15,000 of the initial £30,000 estimated costs – funds he claimed to have tied up in shares which would take time to release. Suffice to say that the whole of the investment remained mine, as Mitchell simply did not come up with the cash, only excuse after excuse after excuse…   I was most aggrieved since to raise that sort of cash my wife and I – and our young baby – had to make some very serious sacrifices; all the time while Mitch lived in relative affluence.

And this was par for the course… SSVC isn't known for employing incompetents, and although Mitchell was somewhere around a dozen years my senior, he clearly just hadn't been the places or done the things he claimed and had nowhere-near my level of knowledge or experience despite his 'bigshot' claims.  The penny took a while to drop; but it became apparent that Hugh 'Mitch' Mitchell was something of a fantasist…

He'd tried (for instance) to push bullshit claims about his education (sounds familiar?); claiming to have attended a highly-regarded private school in Glasgow. In fact he was a dumb-ass barely-literate early-leaver from one of the roughest schools in North Glasgow; caught out of all people by my own Mother, who has as a young girl lived in the same part of town as his family; and knew them for the rogues they were and knew what a dunce he - the 'baby' of the family - really was... 

He was an openly racist letch too...

Next door to his house was a bungalow occupied by a black woman and her daughters, some of whom, in the mid-90s were very young; the woman was an Army widow I believe, quiet, respectable and trying to get along as best she could...  From his first-floor eyrie with its end of the cul-de-sac view of the street he'd letch inappropriately at the girls of that family; peering into their garden, uttering obscenities that were all of unnerving, inappropriate and essentially racist…  On more than one occasion I told him to shut the fuck up and that his 'attitude' just wasn't appropriate or acceptable; it didn't change him!  

One or two incidents really rang alarm bells with me in mid-1998. Mitchell's guard was coming down; and I recall one particular sunny spring day filming in Almondell Country Park when he simply 'disappeared' for half-an-hour.  He was eventually spotted at an odd spot on the river where he could be unseen watching some very young teenage girls frolicking in the water. – 

People weren't happy. People were unnerved. People were angry...

I guess the last straw for me came when Mitchell actually admitted that he'd been asked not to return to the job as a temporary audio-visual technician at St Margaret's Academy in Livingston...   I caught him one day sitting in his edit suite inexplicably reviewing shoddy footage he had shot at the school of some girls in their early-mid teens rehearsing a dance-piece… He confessed that he'd 'had to go' as some of the girls were 'too hot'. - These were children he was drooling over; and he seemed not to nderstand just how far out of order he was...

The following day Mitchell received my notice removing him from the RSL project… My 'legal excuse' for breaking the contract was his failure to come up with his stake money. In reality, I was glad to be rid of the dirty little creep.  I did, after all, have a young female child at home.  And quite clearly there was obviously  'something far wrong' with Hugh Mitchell… 

My concerns were passed to the Police at the time… I questioned why, when he had clearly been asked to leave St Margaret's because of his predilection towards young girls, had he not faced consequences? Why was he not being monitored? Why was he apparently able to go about his business as if he were any other citizen? How did he get issued with a Press Pass?  - I'm still waiting on answers.

Hugh Mitchell – like quite a few other people – has been on the radar ever-since…

At Livingston Sheriff Court yesterday, Mitchell pleaded guilty to seven counts of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and one charge of rape.  He admitted that between September 1988 and April 2004, he sexually assaulted five girls aged between five and fifteen years of age.  Clearly, had alarm bells not rang, and had I not ended the business relationship, and that man continued to move in my circles, there is a fair chance my own daughter could have been one of his victims…

Glad as I am to see the bastard jailed at last I still have questions…  Just as was the case in Addiewell when I tried to expose what was going on there, the concerns I raised about Hugh Mitchell were dismissed by the Police…  It took over a dozen years before I saw Addiewell's Ian Samson convicted and here we are some seventeen years on from when I first raised the alarm about Mitchell…  

 And I won't have been the only one! 

I recall for instance meeting Mitchell one day on the 'back road' leading out of Kirknewton about four years ago… He was 'black and blue' having obviously received a recent beating.  His 'story' was that he had been filming a piece for ITN and been beaten up on duty – it happens!  Trouble is that ITN hadn't hired him since the late 90s and even then only once.   We can only speculate as to who gave him a kicking and why – like Sgt Schultz 'I know nothing'.  

But there's more…

Many will be aware of my contention that the truth of the Hollie Greig case actually links to the trade in extreme pornography.  And I am happy to express the view that the extreme efforts to deflect from that truth – and in particular the nature-in-trade of certain individuals central to that deflection -  is bound by a common-thread of extreme pornographic material, including images and prose relating to child abuse… 

It's a curious co-incidence that – just like certain of the individuals implicated in Hollie Greig's probable abuse – Mitch Mitchell owned a vast array of video equipment for which he had little or no legitimate use.  - And he is known, latterly, to have originated obscene material; some of which was cited at his trial.  

What was his 'market' for such filth?  

Even more curious is Mitchell's authorship of a book entitled '"Holiday".  – The depraved story of how a young child had been taught how to 'make love' by a character named “Mitch” during a holiday to Scotland. This filth was written in the person of the young girl herself, and describes in graphic detail how she was raped in a swimming pool changing cubicle at the Bubbles Leisure Pool in Livingston and of abuse in Almondell Country Park – the very same place he had wandered off from his work years earlier to leer at young girls playing in the river …

What market is there for something that seeks to circumvent the law on making or using images of child abuse?  How does such material get distributed?  And by whom?

Perhaps we might reasonably speculate that certain 'specialist book dealers' might know? Although Mitchell is no 'Walt' in the sense that he actually did serve with the Royal Highland Fusiliers and was a Bandsman; there remains that common 'military' ground...  And the fact he is a fantasist. Curiously too, Mitch Mitchell is a self-professed 'cancer victim'; claiming to have received treatment for (fully deserved in my opinion) Prostate Cancer...    Of which he is now 'clear'! Isn't it magical how these perverts seem to routinely survive that which so often kills normal men?  

And as for their trade... One wonders how these well-connected Masonic 'types' get away with it for so long; for there is no doubt the Police knew about him....

And there is worse… The Daily Record originally reported back in 2009...


" A DEDICATED charity worker has said she is “gobsmacked” after being awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Gill Mitchell (53) of Kirknewton, is set to receive the accolade for her 11 years’ work with Simpsons Special Care Babies."

For Clarity, Gill Mitchell received her MBE in 2009....

More on this remarkable achievement, and a photograph of her,  can be found here…

http://www.sscb.org/site/sscb_news.htm

It must have been very nice for Gill Mitchell MBE to receive her, frankly inexplicable, award from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace... I guess that's what 'connections' do for you! And from her comment, how much she thinks of the children at the Simpsons Special Care Baby Unit in Edinburgh…  A little baffling that this bland, unremarkable creature should be so singled-out. Truly; what great connections she must have...

It's a pity she wasn't quite-so 'concerned for the children' when, in around 2005 she found her husband's work of filth - "Holiday"!  – For it emerged at his trial that she had found his 'book' a decade previously, and deliberately chosen not to make a statement to Police about it – her conscience only 'getting the better of her' about six weeks ago at the end of July 2015.

Similarly, she would appear to have chosen to live with the filthy wretch for close to two decades that I know of…  And, in my opinion, in the full knowledge of what kind of depraved beast she shared a house and name with. 

I'd suggest to Gill Mitchell MBE that, if she hopes to retain a shred of dignity, has any shred of decency or honour, she should send her 'gong' back without delay; and withdraw herself from all involvement in any organisation that deals with children in any way shape or form. - You covered-up for a bloody child-raping pervert Gill! You stood-by and said nothing while your husband raped little girls; and I'm as sure as I can be that you knew damned-well what he was like twenty years ago...    

It's also a pity that Lothian and Borders Police chose to disregard the concerns I raised about Mitchell in 1998.  And that St Margaret's Academy in Livingston would appear to have swept his predilection for little girls under the carpet back in around 1996…  At least six or eight years of suffering on the part of his victims could have been avoided. 

Hugh Mitchell - The Kirknewton Nonce - will, at last (we hope!) be seeing the inside of a jail cell on the 22nd of October when he appears at the High Court for sentencing!

Ian Samson...
Alistair Stewart...
Hugh 'Mitch' Mitchell...

Who's next on my list?  - Tick Tock!

18. Repeat the lie again… As often as you like.


A lie remains, just a lie...  No matter how often it is repeated. 

"Siding with Nonces"? - Only those who promote deliberate lies that deflect from the truth of sex abuse cases can be said to be doing that...  The truth is the truth, and facts are facts - no matter how inconvenient...  Factually, Robert Green has proven himself to be a dishonest man with an agenda that is not in Hollie's interests, but his own…  Through his actions the grain of truth to the Hollie Greig case has - as Mark Daly observed - been washed away in a tide of nonsense...  Siding with Nonces indeed; by ensuring they become even more untouchable! That is the consequence of what Robert Green has done! 

For those with no legitimate claim to stake in the media, fame on the Conspiritainment circuit can be highly lucrative. – Whether that be through Icke's style of quackery, McKenzie's method of running fund-raising scams or some other means of becoming a 'big fish' in the smelly little pond of conspiracy theory. This seems to have been Green's direction…

Factually, when Anne Greig happened along with her embroidered fantasies about high level paedophile rings, the former bankrupt, whose travel-agency business had crashed and burned partly due to his own incompetence – along with his relationship – was alone, on his uppers and trying to re-create himself as a 'Journalist and Broadcaster' through the rather hapless medium  of volunteer local radio. In reality, Robert Green has absolutely no kind of training or qualification in any aspect of journalism or broadcasting – and no substantial experience either.  Nor for that matter has he any training, formal or otherwise, in law. – Which makes rather ridiculous his claims to be a "Lay Legal Advisor"; a mantle donned by him through much of his travels. 

Failed husband, failed businessman, 'Walter Mitty', wannabe-Journalist… All charges that Green's supporters project baselessly onto others to try and deflect attention from their own hero's failings; classically so in fact. – But factually, they describe Robert Green perfectly!  

As for the word "nonce" projected by an individual who factually is  himself  a convicted felon....Baseless projections like this are merely stones from the most fragile of glass houses designed to deflect from the facts I and others present - which you, dear reader are invited to cross-check for yourself... 

One of the problems with stupid people is that they very-often suppose the rest of the world is just as stupid as themselves.   And the truth is, it seems inconvenient for a man who - indulging in behaviour that is nothing short of child-abuse - robbed his own daughter of her innocence by filling her head with the filth generated in his own head...

You see... In a pre-echo of the Hampstead Hoax, Malcolm Konrad Ogilvy attempted to frame his child's mother's family by filming the wee girl 'parroting' filthy accusations of his own creation into a mobile 'phone. Ogilvy wasn't bright enough to realise however that when a file is deleted from such a device the file itself doesn't disappear - only the reference to it.  Once Ogilvy had a 'good take' he called the police. - Unfortunately for him, a skilled examination  of the telephone revealed all the 'bad takes' of him coaching the child, and he was caught out in his deception. 

He was fortunate not to face criminal charges for that deception, but bleats long and loud at the authorities for rounding to protect his daughter from him...

Filling a little girl's head with the perverted filth from inside his weed-addled head is, by any reasonable measure, child abuse.  Robbing a child of her innocence simply to wreak freakish revenge on those had caught onto him and his dysfunctional ways is perverted. - God knows where this monster would have stopped in his efforts to fabricate 'evidence' against people who are guilty of nothing more than wanting normality for their Grandchild...

So factually - and this is supported by the nonsense Ogilvy himself has posted online - this is a man who was caught-out in his deception; and deemed to be such a danger to the moral wellbeing of his daughter that the authorities moved to ensure she could be endangered by him no more...  The authorities had no need to make him 'look like a criminal' - for he is, as is evidenced by other material he has posted online - a man with a criminal record for drug offences...  Like Greg Lance-Watkins trying to convince the world of the triviality of his firearms convictions; his past is disturbing and non-trivial...

A failed father if ever there was one!  As I have observed before; at least Greg Lance-Watkins only abandoned his daughter - Ogilvy robbed his of her innocence.

Damned right I have no history of criminal behaviour - not so much as a parking ticket - nor do I have any history of drug abuse.  - This will I suppose seem 'strange' to those dysfunctional creatures for whom 'normality' is lurching between Giro and street-corner dealer.  It may also surprise them to note than most normal people do get through life without criminal records. Factually no business of mine has ever failed...  And if you'd like to project blame on me for the accidental death of my fiancee in a road accident - which happened literally thousands of miles from my location at the time - then that speaks more of your warped mental state than any kind of fact or reality... 

Straw-man notions do not change the facts either... Especially when they're put forward by individuals for whom the term "nonce"  actually is a good fit.  - Hoisted by their own petard and the stupidity of their own admissions which indicate clearly what dysfunctional lives they lead.  

No matter how often his pet Ned repeats the lie, and regurgitates half-decade-old tripe from discredited rags; Robert Green is a proven liar... The documentrary evidence, with which he tried to deceive the public proves it, clearly, beyond any shadow of doubt. Robert Green manufactured a deliberate lie to try and implicate and damage Alex Salmond and the SNP...  

Why? -  When all the time his mistreatment was down to a Labour-appointed cuckoo in the nest - Elish Angiolini, over whom Salmond had no control...  

Factually you see, the Lord Advocate is beyond the control of the First Minister; they are appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the First Minister...  An unelected Minister in the Scottish Government; up until the SNP took over the appointment was in the gift - and drawn from the ranks of - the ruling party. A practice actually ended by Salmond. The truth is  Elish Angiolini was very-much Jack McConnel's 'cuckoo'... Neatly slipped into post by an outgoing Labour Administration to an SNP government that had vowed to de-politicise the post...  

That IS the simple truth;  these are cold hard facts which anyone with any legal training will have learned in their first-principles education in Scots law. They're coupled to matters of recorded history that you can research for yourself in the country's official archives - as opposed to just taking the word of some random internet page...  - Especially one written by a rabid drug-abusing bigot with links to a Masonic-based group the entire existence of which is dedicated to Anti-Catholic hatred. A group that has harboured many of Scotland's very worst child sex-offenders, and celebrates its links to organisations like the KKK! 

The truth is that FAR from 'the FOI' 'proving' any misconduct on the part of the Scottish Government; the commissioner's response actually confirms that Robert Green lied and  attempted to mislead the public...  All the Scottish Government (Which isn't and never was 'Alex Salmond') are 'proven guilty' of is possible clerical incompetence on the part of some junior Civil Servant - and that largely as the result of Green's duplicitous - some might say unhinged - actions... 

The highly dubious, virtual rag  "The Firm" - under the discredited 'Red Cloud' of Steven Raeburn printed this load of incompetent shite because, quite clearly, it fitted in with its editor's personal agenda.  For clarity and the avoidance of doubt, Red Cloud Media were struck off the register of companies for non-compliance...  That simply isn't something that happens to credible, properly-run businesses - yet this is what Green's minions deem to be 'respected'...  

That quite apart from this rubbish being half-a-decade old and misleadingly presented by those so dishonest as to promote this tripe with its date redacted so as to make it appear current...   Disproved, discredited, struck off and just plain dishonest! 

And for clarity. - Just as Janner's alleged dementia does not absolve him from responsibility for his past crimes, and Greg Lance-Watkins alleged cancer excuses nothing of his actions, Stephen Raeburn's recent announcement that he has contracted the disease does not automatically promote his past material from grossly incompetent.  His fate is not one I would wish on anyone and I do hope to read of his recovery. - But in terms of him having in the past published complete and utter tripe, got into bother with the PCC and had his company 'struck off' - it is irrelevant  Far from being a 'top legal journalist' he remains an embarassing fop!
 

It's bizarre - and telling - that just before Green last went to court, he was singing the praises of Scottish Labour... 

The very party that gave us (among a plethora of other freaks and perverts)  'Dogger Mathieson' who himself replaced a man disgraced as a Gay-Gangster's Moll that spent his time in Castle Greyskull (Glasgow City Chambers) hepped up on Coke...  The branch-office of a party firmly entrenched with the filth of Westminster's peadophillia culture - Which was soundly trounced at the polls in Scotland.  

Green acted as mouthpiece for the very party that jailed him...  

So who was pulling Green's strings? - Frankly anyone who'll give him money and attention!

It's true that in retrospect, it looks very much like Green was a planted political-martyr - To a cause that history now proves to be a failure. But why? Who was funding him? Or what was he promised?  - With his 'handler' McKenzie now ousted, who's working him now?  Was he a political plant from day one; or did he just accept a pay-off to become a sock-puppet? 

For what it's worth no - I personally don't agree that Green was a political shill from day one.  Green is in my opinion just an attention-seeking con man. And will 'latch on' to anyone or anything that sates his appetite for fame.  - There is no doubt that various opportunists latched-on to the Hollie Greig case; most hoping to make money out of it, some trying to draw the 'heat' away from the case and some with political motives. - But the driving force behind the con has changed many times; and Green is clearly 'anybody's' for a few quid...

The political sock-puppetry of Robert Green has been a feature of his operation for quite some time it's true; we can only wonder who bought him and for how many pieces of silver... 

But in all respects that actually matter all that is irrelevant...  

Robert Green and his wasted druggie, low-life mates sold Hollie Greig down the river.  And that is readily illustrated by the exposure of Green's lie about Alex Salmond...  

And frankly it would be the same whoever they had lied about.  Green and his minions have sought to make the Hollie Greig case all about gaining political leverage...  And in order to achieve that, they have abandoned the truth for cheap, shoddy, infantile lies.

Robert Green abandoned the truth...  Long since!

And that is the only thing which is relevant -  Robert Green betrayed the truth. Robert Green betrayed a helpless sex-abuse victim for the sake of what exactly? Fame? Fortune? The sake of his beloved party?  

The 'book' on Hollie Grieg may well be closed – but that does not mean it is any less a work of reference…   Or that it won't be updated as and when...  A concept perhaps lost on certain non-educated-delinquents. 

Without fear, without favour, and regardless of cost. I'm NOT going away! You may not see me, you may not hear me, but I'll be around...  And no, poor Hollie won't be forgotten...  Those who continue to abuse her by trying to make money or political capital from her suffering will get no quarter from me...
