CHRISTOPHER FULKE-GREVILLE

Biography

 

 

This is the blog of The Friends of Henry Lloyd George, a crimestoppers group from Addleston in Surrey. In 2010 our group won a Gold Star Award for our work from Outing the Conmen:

GOLD STAR – FOHLG

 

 

How about this for outing a serial conman who steals from an army charity? They don’t come any lower than that, particularly when our soldiers are getting killed and maimed every day. I really cheered to hear from Annie ‘get your gun’ Shuttentag that one of these creatures has been very publically outed by his long-suffering neighbours who followed the advice of Sharon Hodgson and the example of the police and other law enforcement agencies and went for the posters.

A Gold Award goes to an action group in Addlestone, Surrey, who call themselves The Friends of Henry Lloyd George. When a dole-cheating, violent, Addlestone conman called Christopher Fulke-Greville was sent to jail in 2007 for deception while posing as a lord, the story was reported by 2009 Gold Award winners Penman and Sommerlad in the Daily Mirror. After publicity like that, his neighbours naturally thought that when his lordship got out of jail he would just crawl away and die. Not a bit of it. When they heard that he was out of jail and using internet forums to pose as a public-spirited fundraiser who had raised nearly £30,000 for Help for Heroes, they decided to act.

They checked the Help for Heroes website and phoned the charity. As they suspected, H4H had never heard of his Chris Fulke-Greville, who operates a car club and event scams from his modest semi in Addlestone. I was delighted to learn that they had read my blog and decided to follow the advice of MP Sharon Hodgson, who won a Gold Award last year.Sharon got her award for standing up in parliament and saying that criminals should be named and shamed and that the only way to deal with persistent criminals was to print their picture, convictions and sentences on posters and plaster them all over their home town. That’s exactly what the good people of Liberty Rise, Addlestone, did.

FOHLG printed and distributed hundreds of posters all over town warning local people not to fall for the serial conman’s unpatriotic scam. They also pasted it on flickr. His Lordship hasn’t been seen since.

 

 

When I was contacted by the group’s spokesperson Annie, I asked her who Henry Lloyd George was. She told me that Henry was a disabled old soldier who had the terrible misfortune to live next door to the phoney Lord Fulke-Greville of Alcester and had got his lordship charged with benefit fraud. As reported in The Independent (6/2/93), one day, when Henry was nearly 80 years old and in poor health, the cowardly Greville attacked him and stuck a pitchfork in his head. But Henry fought back and gave the convicted dole-cheat a good hiding. When the police arrived Greville had a cut face so without a blush he claimed that Henry had attacked and injured him. Henry was arrested. The next morning the old man appeared in court and was bound over to keep the peace. Greville later got 6 months. If only all Englishmen were as brave as Henry Lloyd George there would be a lot less criminals in our midst.
