Rupert who?

Yesterday we shared Angela Power-Disney’s meltdown hissy fit narcissistic rage explosion, apparently triggered by the news that the Gardaí had disobeyed her explicit instructions to identify and arrest everyone who has ever dissed her online. Instead, the officer in charge of her case had the unmitigated rind to send her case to the Director of…

Angela goes over the edge in new video

It’s been some time since we heard anything from Angela Power-Disney, but her recent interview with American “comedian” Tere Joyce is a humdinger. There’s pathos, there’s bathos, there’s narcissistic rage, there’s victim-blaming…all fuelled by a burning and unwarranted sense of entitlement. We’re not linking to the video, as she deliberately names a protected witness in…

Facebook’s new oversight board: Will it help?

Anyone who has had much experience with reporting illegal or harassing posts on Facebook will attest that it’s a profoundly discouraging experience. In the four years since Sabine McNeill released videos of P and Q, many of our commenters have reported hundreds if not thousands of posts to Facebook, only to receive the infuriating response,…

Arson confirmed in ‘Pizzagate’ restaurant fire

The fire which broke out Wednesday evening at Comet Ping Pong, the Washington restaurant made famous by online conspiracy theorists in 2016, has been confirmed as arson, according to police and fire officials. Staff extinguished the fire before fire engines arrived, but subsequent investigation revealed “a box of matches and an open, partially full plastic…

Drifloud suspended from Twitter, 2.0

Sometimes it’s the little things, isn’t it? In the grand scheme of things, the “Conscious Living Being” known as Drifloud is sublimely unimportant. For nearly four years, he has occupied a dank and dismal corner of Twitter, from whence he spews forth some of the most hateful and vicious falsehoods we’ve seen. Three years ago…

New Hampstead hoaxer films outside school

Just what the world needs: another Hampstead SRA-hoax-pusher popping out of the woodwork. Actually “popping out of the woodwork” might be a bit harsh, as we’ve run into Richard Carvath before. Nearly two years ago, he was making claims of “a network of Satanic ritual child abusers” in relation to a case which was making…

Apologies for an error

Earlier today we published a post in error. We have since found out that had we allowed that post to remain on the blog, we would have been in contempt of court, so we have removed it. Unfortunately, this also removed a number of comments, and left some readers confused. We can only apologise for…

Operation Conifer and the ‘Michelle Remembers’ connection

In the wake of yesterday’s news about Mike Veale’s resignation as chief constable in Cleveland, we had occasion to browse through some of the older news coverage about Veale and the ill-conceived Project Conifer, conducted while he was chief constable in Wiltshire. In a Mail on Sunday article on 29 November 2016, Home Affairs editor Martin Beckford…

Mike Veale resigns following allegations of serious misconduct

We learned yesterday that Mike Veale, chief constable of the Cleveland Police, resigned on Friday after less than a year in the post. The Telegraph reports that he is facing an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), following allegations by two female officers that he had engaged in “inappropriate behaviour” toward them.…
