Sabine MacNeill Prosecution
From 2011 : https://vimeo.com/23799506
I have just come across this diatribe (see below) from the notorious 'Hoaxstead Research' from over a year ago and prior to Sabine's nine year prison sentence, which of course its contributors exulted in.
Unfortunately, my comment which 'El Coyote' (note none of the contributors to the page is prepared to identify him/herself) has abstracted from elsewhere, contains a number textual omissions or errors, but otherwise remains my opinion.
The persecution of seventy-four year old Sabine McNeill by police and courts and subsequent disproportionate sentence handed down was and is, a disturbing reminder of how, even in a democratic state, subject to constitutional limitations and rule of law, it can silence anyone brave enough to champion the claims of children.
'Free speech' may in theory be guaranteed by the Constitution but not if the judges decide by interdict, otherwise. Throughout this unsavoury case, it is clear that natural justice has been upturned: the guilty exonerated and the innocent traduced. A well-intentioned if naive pensioner, has been incarcerated in the prison system as the only way of silencing her and as a warning to others.
It may have succeeded in its purpose but it also only goes to prove how desperate the state was to bury this story and how shallow and false is the government's assertion that it will take the evidence of children seriously, in order to protect them from institutional abuse. Indeed it does the very opposite.
Sabine’s court hearing leaves more questions than answers
Sabine McNeill appeared at Southwark Crown Court yesterday morning to face a further charge of violation of her restraining order.
Sabine was charged with another violation—of which she has currently accrued 19—of the lifetime restraining order imposed following the collapse of her 2016 trial, along with Neelu Berry, for conspiracy to commit witness intimidation. This most recent violation was related to Sabine and Jake’s attendance at the Church of England General Synod on 10 February, where she was accused of handing out leaflets containing details of the Hampstead Satanic ritual abuse hoax.
Sabine initially pleaded not guilty to this charge, claiming that she had been “set up” by someone to attend the event.
However, in the face of video evidence of her presence with Jake at the event, the judge asked Sabine’s barrister whether her presence at Church House constituted a restraining order violation. The barrister conceded that it did, and after consultation, Sabine changed her plea to guilty, albeit with some reluctance.
The public gallery was cleared shortly after this, and the afternoon proceedings were conducted in camera.
While it is normal for pre-trial hearings to be conducted in public, we understand that since witnesses will need to be heard in order for the court to make a decision regarding Sabine’s bail conditions, at least one more in camera hearing will be required.
We’re left with more questions than answers about yesterday’s proceedings, which we hope will be clarified following Sabine’s next court appearance, scheduled for 19 March.
Sabine was cheered on at yesterday’s session by Jake Clarke and five of his friends (including Swampy the Sandwich Stealer, last seen making off with a canteen sandwich at Blackfriars Court during Sabine and Neelu’s 2016 trial).
Jake distinguished himself first by calling out to the judge from the public gallery during the proceedings, and then stumbling over the straps of his rucksack and falling down a set of stairs. Unimpressed with his Norman Wisdom imitation, the judge ordered him to leave the courtroom.
Belinda McKenzie was notable by her absence at yesterday’s hearing; doubtless she had other business to attend to.
However, late last night Angela Power-Disney posted the following message, which sounds as though it could have come from Belinda:
…unfortunately, Angela clipped off the bottom of the screen shot before posting. Honestly, you can’t get good help these days.
As far as we’re aware, Sabine’s next court date will not be a “trial”, but as we say, given the way things went in court yesterday it’s difficult to say for certain.
Interesting news about the “house arrest”—we wonder what that means, precisely? Does Sabine now have a tag? Is she under curfew? Again, difficult to say.
All we can do is stay tuned, and hope that these and other issues will be clarified at Sabine’s next court date.

I was listening to the Seminar yesterday about the narrative surrounding CSA. It’ll be published in a few days and it’s really worth listening to. Throughout, I found myself realising the impact of the hoaxers, to the detriment of a more effective and holistic narrative, that could have led to changes much sooner, imho… Had we not previously and currently found the media aiding the wrong narratives to be prominent because they are more solacious or create more of an interest, but mislead too.
If Belinda & co had sat down and figured out how to undermine the justified cause for CSA Survivors to be heard, believed and helped, they couldn’t have done a better/worse job……… I have concluded that I have justified suspicions that indeed some involved have conspired and been determined to do just that, some for a very long time and with strong historic links.
It’ll be up to the Judge, the level of restrictions put on her but I’m sure she won’t like them one bit.
Belinda McKenzie skates on thin ice if she is urging people abroad to agitate the Hampstead case seeing she is under the same Injunction.
This pair clearly do not respect the courts. While people can disagree with a court decision and feel the outcome should have been different it’s another matter to agitate and urge others to act as agents to breach a court decision.
It would be better for everyone if Jake kept away. He’s an idiot.
Spinning new yarns for their web spiders, prowling cats, squawkers and droners.
To be part of the myths and legends they peddle, along with their scams, cures, illusions for donors.
The Victor Chang institute was launched in his honour by the late Princess Diana in Sydney as her last public appearance shortly before she died.
Chang was a world renowned heart surgeon and regarded as a pioneer before he was murdered in a senseless attempt at kidnap and extortion. His loss was felt by the world’s medical fraternity and 100s of his patients.
Barnett is beyond despicable.
Oddly my mother took me to one of his rallies when I was quite young and I recall being quite moved by the “show”. But as she was never religious before or after I’ve often wondered why she took me there. Maybe it was to put me off organised religion?.
I know she really doesnt get that much attention, but she has tried often enough to get involved with the Royal Commission, and she has accused some fairly well known (and well liked) people here of some quite despicable acts
Their fantasies just get stupider & stupider.

Thank you. Putting that in my archives.
BTW “curfew” is a bit of misnomer as it just means to remain indoors (usually at a specified place) between specified hours, it doesn’t have to be at night. For offences naturally committed in the day (paedophiles lurking around schools, for example), a daytime curfew would be imposed.
