honey!oh sugar sugar.
Wasn't it something similar in Salem, where people swore they hadn't been harmed and they said the witches had brainwashed them?
Or was that Pendle?

The strangest of all aspects of the George Pell case is that he has been found guilty of abusing a boy- who repeatedly denied that it happened when asked over the years even though he would have been eligible for $100Ks in compensation from the Church.
The orgy of celebration today in Australia on the reporting of Pell's conviction which happened last year is scary.
This is a new phase of a Witch Hunt that was determined to nab this man because he is a Conservative and had conservative friends.
His conservative pals like former PM Tony Abbott are now being viciously attacked.
Dozens of alleged "left" leaning ( Stalinist?) hacks attacked Pell mercilessly when he said he was too sick to return to give evidence at a Royal Commission.
When told he was to be charged with serious crimes Pell immediately returned to Australia. Total silence from those hacks.
I still think there is every chance this conviction will be overturned on appeal. It was Pell's word against his accusers.
In other news..the world is fucked & humanity finished.
