A modest proposal

Yes, yes, you’re right. A couple of weeks ago we said we were going on hiatus, and that we’d be back when there was news of Angela’s legal status. That hasn’t happened yet, so what are we doing posting again so soon? Well, it seemed that even in the absence of regular posts, the after-party…

Police inertia allowed Hampstead hoax to grow

In the most recent video on the Hoaxtead Research YouTube channel, we addressed an issue which hasn’t really been publicly aired in the past: how was the outcome of this hoax shaped by the reactions (or non-reactions) of the police? Yesterday, regular commenter Steved observed, The accusers who may find themselves either in jail or…

This is a continuation of that process, beginning with the events following Sabine McNeill’s involvement in the case in November 2014, and ending with the Pauffley judgment. Our goal is to integrate information gleaned from Sabine’s 2018 trial, as well…

‘Jon Wedger Foundation’ isn’t a foundation…or a charity

Jon Wedger, ex-Metropolitan Police officer and self-styled whistleblower, seems to have borrowed a page from Belinda McKenzie’s book. In 2015, Belinda’s “Knight Foundation”, founded by Belinda and named (as we later learned) for a convicted sex offender, Christopher Xavier Knight, was touted as a charity which would “help children and families”: A bit of fancy…

Angie, Cat Snot, and the art of over-sharing

Collective yawns were stifled at Hoaxtead HQ yesterday when Angela Power-Disney posted a video featuring herself (of course) and Cat Snot waffling on about…um, we aren’t really sure, as within minutes we found ourselves distracted by the real show. For some reason, Angela saw fit to put her chat history with Ms Snot on public…
