September 20, 2012: False ‘paedo’ claims sicken Truro lollipop man is published by the Souther Daily Echo.

The above article is credited to West Briton. Below is a photograph from it, and below that, the article itself. I actually lifted this from cornwalllive dot com, now defunct (September 2019). Archived link here.

As will be seen, this concerns a hate campaign against an ordinary bloke, something that is happening more and more with the rise of social media. You don’t have to be in any way famous for something like this to happen to you. People have been murdered for such trivialities as jumping a queue or accidentally treading on someone’s foot.

Less than two weeks after this article was published, Richard Brinham, a man of 65, was viciously attacked in the same town after likewise being branded a paedophile.
