The best-laid plans of mice and chimps

Sometimes we just have to laugh.

Out there in the foetid swamps of TrooferBlogLand dwells a rancid rag of a blog, a hangover from a previous hoax involving false allegations of sexual abuse against a number of innocent people. The Hollie Greig hoax had much in common with the Hampstead SRA hoax, including the aforementioned false allegations, a great deal of overlap amongst its key players, an innocent young person used as a pawn in the adults’ game of “fill those donations coffers”, and more.

The blog in question, HollieGreigJustice, is owned by a person from Manchester named George Kouris, aka George Greek Trucker; it is…well, not written, exactly…perhaps “scribbled upon with chimpanzee-like enthusiasm” by one Malcolm Konrad Ogilvy, a person who looks as though a good bath would not go amiss.

We’ve mentioned him here before, but you might be forgiven for forgetting him, as he is eminently forgettable. He did eke out a wee bit of fame at one point, when as one of our readers pointed out, he allegedly “failed the very same scam as Draper and Christie did in an attempt to frame his daughter’s grandfather. The mistake he made was to actually hand the phone over to the police who quickly discovered evidence of him coaching her!”

In general we don’t pay much attention to Malkie, except to smother a smirk each time he tries to link a post on his blog to a comment on this one. This happens about five times per day, leading us to wonder whether he actually has his own blog, or it’s just a shadowy mirror of Hoaxtead Research.

One of our team members wandered over to Malkie’s place yesterday to check out this hypothesis, and came back laughing. “It’s basically a string of our quotes from our commenters, with bits of gibberish thrown in”, they informed us. Gibberish like this:

How wid you know are you say the cops gave you evidence?So the cops KNEW i wis perverting the course of justice in a child abuse case yet STILL didnt interview me never arrested or charged me was never sent to trial was never found guilty …strange 

Don’t laugh, that’s some quality gibberish right there. We have no clue what he’s on about, but it seems to keep him busy, so who are we to complain?

One of the odder features of that blog is that Malkie appears to genuinely believe that everyone who comments on Hoaxtead Research is either Matt Quinn, Maggs Shaw, or…no, that’s really about it. Just those two people.

It’s the same sort of shortsightedness which leads many of the Hoaxtead mobsters to believe that everyone here is RD, despite all signs to the contrary.

But we digress.

Aside from the amusement value in having to consign half a dozen “trackback” requests from the HGJ blog each day, and noting that that blog is basically a gaudy, unreadable version of ours, we confess to allowing a tiny smirk to cross our lips at the fact that each day, Malkie’s blog sends us several readers, some of whom seem to appreciate what we offer.

We have to suppose that this is not what George and Malkie had in mind…er, brainstem…when they revived their blog last spring. Ah well, lads. Can’t win ’em all.

Form an orderly queue, ladies!
