Turns out that was not true.

The name of the Headless Woman public house name recalls the local legend of Grace Trigg who died in about 1664. She was a servant at nearby Hockenhull Hall, found hiding in a cellar there by Oliver Cromwell's parliamentarian soldiers after the royalist owners had fled. They tortured her to force her to reveal where the family valuables were hidden and, when she would not tell them, beheaded her in the attic, dragged her body downstairs and dumped it off one of the "Roman Bridges" (three medieval packhorse bridges on the River Gowy, still standing today at the end of Platts Lane in Hockenhull).

So, they were the good guys, right?

A quick Google of a picture of a Saracen returns this. I fear his time in court might be wasted.

As usual, the Daily Heil is making a mountain out of a molehill. They didn't point out that Small Claims Court is for money owed.
It'll get thrown out, because there's no money owed.

Now, if he wants to make a claim in a civil court, that'll cost more than £1,850!

Its founder Lord Northcliffe supposedly said that the secret of his success was "I give my readers a daily hate", and DM journalists have claimed they were encouraged to write articles that left their readers angry. So it's much more than mere clicks, they want people to get emotionally involved, no matter what it leads to.

But people are gullible and fall for the propaganda.

I've said this before. Truth doesn't pay. Conspiracy and propaganda, on the other hand is an easy way for people to make money from the simple and gullible.

There are many millionaires out there making money from conspiracy and lies.

Even Trump himself says that we "shouldn't trust experts". I mean, seriously. The most powerful man in the world is telling us to start listening to the cranks.

I'm educated. I know how peer review works. I also know how to research without confirmation bias (it's an interesting subject - do a search for it if you haven't come across it before).

YouTube is literally the worst for it. Quote me a YouTube video as evidence and I'll literally laugh at you.
