Mr. P., Mr. T and
Mr. & Mrs. J
Due to the severe affect that this false accusation has had on
all the people involved, some of the accused are not available
to give their stories although we hope that in time they will
be able to talk about their experience without fear, of reprisals
and further victimization.
Everything on this page is gleaned from press reports.
Mr. P had a very hard time with local vigilantes. His car was
burnt out and he repeatedly had his garden trashed. Mr. P had
moved to the Isle of Lewis to retire and has said how much he
loved his home and does not wish to leave despite the awful way
he was and still is treated by the locals. At one particular low
time he considered suicide. He is not the only one. This case
has left him in weak mental state, and I would like to ask the
local church, in which I have a few friends "Where is the
love. Isn't this your chance to apologise for neglecting your
duty and loving these poor people?
Mr T.
When Mr. T was on the Island he was regarded as an undesirable.
He had lived in Ness for a time, and unfortunately for him he
came into contact with Angela. He was known to have been in prison
prior to moving to Lewis, and was believed to have a drug problem.
Although there was no truth in the allegations made against him,
everyone believed him guilty as if having past problems means
you are guilty of everything thrown at you. I wonder what Jesus'
reaction to this unfortunate lad would have been.
He too was got at by the vigilantes and they burnt down his caravan.
He has not been seen since.
Mr & Mrs J
After receiving abuse from their neighbour, they decided to move
away from Lewis. They too had had a rough life but their only
guilt is befriending Angela. We are in contact with this couple
and life is a little better for them now, it is hoped before long
they will be able to give their story.
