Saturday’s march to end “satnic abuse” was certainly the stuff of song and story, but perhaps not quite in the way organisers Jeanette Archer and Lydia “NOT LUAU” Lowe originally envisioned. For starters, two of the star attractions—Vicky Ash and Samantha Baldwin—suddenly remembered that they had to wash their hair that day. This left Archer…
Last week’s Coup that Wasn’t not only provided some much-needed hilarity here at Hoaxtead Research, but took up a great deal of airtime, with the result that we gave short shrift (all right, no shrift at all) to a story which deserved our attention. We refer, of course, to the budding comedy duo of Wedger…
We were rather late to the show in the case of the latest SRA claimant/wannabe cause célèbre Becki Percy, but it seems that the Twitter tide has now begun to turn against the plucky young woman from Hull. We really only became aware of Poor Becki via a blog which has been hilariously caricaturing some of her…
This year, with Easter Sunday and April Fool’s Day occurring on the same day, it only seems appropriate that Belinda McKenzie should issue both her Queen (of Hoaxtead)’s Easter Greeting along with…well, you’ll see. Belinda just can’t get over the fact that her pet project was binned in the High Court, can she? We love…
Yesterday we talked about the “UK godmother” of Satanic ritual abuse claims, Valerie Sinason. We noted that in February 2000, following Jean La Fontaine’s solid debunking of the notion of SRA in the UK, The Guardian reported that Ms Sinason and her colleague at the Tavistock Clinic, Dr Robert Hale, mounted a counter-offensive: Fresh controversy…
The other day, we noted that Belinda has once again started cosying up to her old pal and fellow Hollie-hoaxer Robert Green, who seems to have played a role in Project Conifer, the Wiltshire Police’s strangely bungled investigation into former PM Edward Heath. We noted that Mr Green had been passing along information to Wiltshire’s…
Yesterday we reported that Operation Conifer, the Wiltshire Police investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against former prime minister Edward Heath, had received information from known conspiracy theorist Robert Green, late of the Hollie Greig hoax; Mr Green obtained this “information” from Dr Joan Coleman, a co-founder of the RAINS (Ritual Abuse Information Network &…
Sometimes it’s possible to focus so intently on the Hampstead SRA hoax that one can forget that this is only one case of false allegations on a mass scale. Certainly it’s unique in some of its details—the physical and mental torture of two small children as a means to induce them to make revolting allegations…
Earlier this week we discussed the curious case of Dr Rainer Kurz, a chartered occupational psychologist who, despite his lack of clinical experience, has developed a curious sideline in promoting belief in Satanic ritual abuse. According to Dr Kurz, who has been interviewed several times by David Icke associate Richie Allen, he has actually treated…
As evidence about the Hampstead hoax has emerged since its inception in 2014, certain theories have been validated, while others have been debunked. This post falls at least in part into the latter category. While there is no doubt that events occurred as described here, it now appears extremely unlikely that Sabine McNeill and Belinda…
