Google Hollie Greig. From the UK Column: Mike Robinson

blip.tv, Youtube and Vimeo have all taken
the Robert Green video down after receiving
a threatening letter from Callum Anderson
of Levy and McCrae, the law firm who
refuse to say whether they act for Ms
Angiolini the person, or Ms Angiolini, the
Lord Advocate, and who also refuse to say
whether or not they are being paid out of
the public purse. It also seems this is not the
only case whereMs Angiolini has dragged
her feet! by Robert Green
In the October 2009 print edition of the UK
Column, we reported in our article “BBC
Hides Truth of Girl’s Sexual Abuse Ordeal”
the shocking ordeal of Downs Syndrome
girl, Hollie Greig, who was horribly abused
by an Aberdeen paedophile ring, over a
period of ten years. After investigating and
planning a documentary, the BBC abruptly
dropped the case, despite admitting that
Hollie was a reliable and accurate witness. It
is important to stress that both the police
and qualified medical experts have
described Hollie as a competent and
entirely honest witness.
From the age of just six, Hollie was
repeatedly sexually abused by her father,
Denis Charles Mackie. Later, Mackie began
sharing his daughter with a gang of
paedophile “swingers” that has been
operating in Aberdeen for many years. The
identities of a further seven child victims are
already known. There is no question that
the gang are well-connected, efficiently
organised and totally ruthless. Our
frightening story is that they are protected
by individuals of "high standing" within the
Scottish establishment.
In 2000, after 14 years of terrified silence,
Hollie eventually told her mother, Anne,
about the abuses. Formal statements were
made to Grampian Police, providing all the
horrifying details and the names of the
abusers. They included a senior Scottish
Sheriff, a policeman, social workers, a
nurse, a solicitor, an accountant, a fire
officer, married couples and others. Some
of the rapes were carried out at the homes
of these individuals, including that of the
Sheriff’s sister. Other children were
sometimes involved, including children of
the paedophiles themselves.
The latest chapters in this astonishing and
horrifying story about Hollie, and the seven
other abused children, have taken place
over the past few weeks. The key issues are
a continued refusal by Grampian police to
fully investigate the overwhelming evidence
for the paedophile rapes, and a wall of
silence by the Scottish establishment.
Whilst there has been some general Scottish
media coverage, notably in The Firm and
the Aberdeen Press and Journal, the media
has been largely silent on what must be one
ofScotlands worst top level paedophile
scandles. A key figure in the press silence is
the Lord Advocate, in her former role as
Procurator Fiscal in Aberdeen, when in 2000
she is alleged to have effectively buried the
case. Was this to prevent her associate and
most influential member of the paedophile
ring, Sheriff X, from being investigated,
along with the other named members of
the fifteen-strong rape gang?
Elish Angiolini, the Scottish Lord Advocate, is
in charge of all criminal prosecutions. She is
alleged to have reacted immediately to
public calls for a full police investigation, by
pressurising against publication.
Subsequently, and under considerable
duress, The Firm published an apology.
Shortly afterwards the Press and Journal ran
astory accurately describing the case,
mentioning a sheriff and police officer
without identifying them. Angiolini was not
discussed in the article.
Mrs Angiolini`s role in the case recently
aroused further suspicion, when it was
claimed that she had used a private law
firm, Levy and McRae, to issue warnings
against all major Scottish editors,
threatening them with legal action if any
mention was made of her involvement in
the case. Suspicious and angry, many
individuals directly working to obtain justice
for Hollie, as well as a growing number of
the general public, now consider that key
establishment figures, many with direct
responsibility for criminal investigations and
justice, have made a concerted and
continuous effort to conceal the facts from
the people of Scotland. Despite the
pressure, investigators and campaigners for
Hollie continue to stress that they hold
documentary proof of the Lord Advocate’s
actions, as well as proof that she has
repeatedly failed to tell the whole truth
about her connections with the Hollie abuse
case for whatever reason.
The senior partner in the Law Firm, Peter
Watson, who is also head of litigation, is
understood to have refused to comment as
to whether the firm's fees have been billed
to Mrs Angiolini personally, or if they are
being paid by the Scottish taxpayer.
Mrs Angiolini's office decided in December
2009 that they would not pursue the case
due to “insufficient evidence.”
Corroborating evidence by private
investigators and researchers indicates that
other than Hollie, not one of the twenty-
four named abusers and victims has even
been questioned by Grampian Police.
This follows the pattern of 2000, when the
crimes and perpetrators were first reported.
At that time, the police later admitted that
only one of the gang, Hollie`s father, had
even been interviewed.
The UK Column is aware that investigators
have just received from the Crown Office,
after years of rebuttals, the Post Mortem
report of Robert David Greig, brother of
Hollie`s mother Anne. Robert died
mysteriously in an alleged car fire in 1997.
Despite extreme inconsistencies in witness
statements and circumstances, no inquest
took place and the cause of death was
officially due to smoke inhalation.
The Post Mortem stated that Robert has
suffered considerable damage to his skull,
two broken ribs and a broken sternum.
Informal professional medical opinion so far
is of the view that Robert had been severely
beaten, had alcohol forced down his throat
and then thrown into the burning vehicle.
Although this was not known at the time,
Hollie, in 2001, told her mother that just
prior to his unexplained death, Robert had
caught Hollie`s father sexually abusing her.
The campaign for justice for Hollie, and
other vulnerable victims of paedophiles in
England and South Wales, not only goes
on, but has intensified as outraged
members of the public have flooded
Aberdeen with leaflets naming all current
members of the gang, including the head of
a special school. All Aberdeen Councillors
and MPs have also been alerted, but with
little effect. There appears to be a
conspiracy of establishment silence where
the abuse of Hollie is concerned. Many
people in Aberdeen are asking just who
possesses the courage and decency to stand
up against these staggering and shocking
crimes against most vulnerable members of
society? Certainly not their elected national
and local representatives.
UK Column volunteers continue to be
shocked by the quantity and quality of
evidence reaching them on the subject of
paedophile and sexual abuse against young
and vulnerable children in care and
otherwise. The common theme is that
victims and their supporters are unable to
get any real support from Members of
Parliament, Local Councillors, the Judiciary,
Police and other ‘officials’. Many describe
the creation of a wall of silence, often
accompanied by targetted intimidation
against the victims.
Recently a policeman personally told the
UK Column that police had themselves
experienced their own paedopile
investigations suddenly being dropped by
senior police officers. He added “If you
want to really get to the paedophiles you
should look at Westminster”. The
implications of this statement are frightening
- a paedophile ring amongst our political
leaders - the political elite which has control
of education and Social Services? The
general public needs to open its eyes and
confront this evil - and fast.
