With Mates Like Mandy… More Meetings Between Ponzi Scheming Paedo Jeffrey Epstein & ‘Prince Of Darkness’ Peter Mandelson Revealed

As new evidence of meetings between Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein after the latter got out of the clink emerges, one is left asking: “What continued to attract ‘Mandy’ to a known billionaire sex offender?”

In January 2022, The Steeple Times pointed out: “The key ‘classic question’ Lord Mandelson now needs to answer is a paraphrasing of that put to decidedly dippy Debbie McGee by the late Caroline Ahern (in her role as the bonkers but brilliant ‘Mrs Merton’) in 1997: ‘What, first, Peter, was it that attracted you to the multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein?’”

This morning – pouring petrol all over the fire of speculation about the most curious links between the very well connected and openly gay Labour peer and the sexually perverted Ponzi scheming paedophile – The Mail on Sunday’s Daniel Bates shared an “exclusive” in which he revealed that aside from the previously the known meetings and telephone calls between the pair from 2005 to 2009, it is now suggested that an additional four meetings were “scheduled” for them between 2010 and 2013.

“Organised” after a time when Epstein had been in the pokey for having sex with underage girls, the ex-Labour cabinet minister, it has also been observed from diary entries, even stayed in the Lenox Hill, New York ‘Paedo Palace’ that belonged to the ‘bestie’ of Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Of this, Bates observed:

“The disgraced billionaire was jailed for 13 months in June 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution as part of a sweetheart plea deal.”

“After leaving jail, Epstein had to register as a sex offender and was subject to a 12-month house arrest, which expired in July 2010. Despite this Lord Mandelson, a former EU commissioner for trade, appears to have met Epstein several times.”

“Lord Mandelson declined to confirm if the meetings had taken place – but other figures who appear on the documents have said their get-togethers did go ahead.”

“At the time, the peer was out of public office but being tipped to lead the IMF or the World Trade Organization.”

“The first two meetings were listed for Epstein’s New York townhouse on March 1 and March 3, 2010, when he was still under house arrest.”

“The March 1 entry says Lord Mandelson was due at 7.30pm while Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, referred to as ‘Peter’s friend,’ was due to arrive at 1pm.”

“Mr Wegg-Prosser was Lord Mandelson’s assistant and was previously Tony Blair’s director of strategic communications. He now works at Global Counsel, Lord Mandelson’s consulting company, as a managing director.”

“An entry for May 28 2012 said: ‘** Peter Mandelson to arrive in the evening from Shelter Island WILL HE STAY AT HOUSE?**’”

“Shelter Island is an island in The Hamptons, the millionaires’ playground east of New York.”

The entry for Wednesday, May 30 reads: ‘** Peter Mandelson possibly leaves today if meetings organised for Boston, otherwise depart Thurs for DC **’”

“The final entry is for April 4, 2014 and is a dinner with Mandelson, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, investor Mort Zuckerman and Jes Staley, the former head of JP Morgan, who has been accused of abusing Epstein’s victims.”

“Previous reports have shown photos of Lord Mandelson on Epstein’s island in 2005 and at his birthday in 2006, but the diaries are the first suggestions of meetings after his prison sentence.”

Mr Wegg-Prosser confirmed his meeting with Epstein did take place. He said: ‘I had the misfortune to meet Epstein on one occasion. It was a short meeting of no consequence and thankfully was never to be repeated.’”

Was it right for Labour politician Peter Mandelson to continue meeting & staying with Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein after the paedo got out of prison in 2009? New evidence: https://t.co/NsK7lklbDn #JeffreyEpstein #PeterMandelson #KeirStarmer #Labour #JesStaley #GhislaineMaxwell
— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) June 4, 2023

Today on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Was it right for Labour politician Peter Mandelson to continue meeting & staying with Ponzi schemer Jeffrey Epstein after the paedo got out of prison in 2009?” By 1pm on Sunday 4^th June 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; very odd; dodgy.”

Lord Mandelson – at the time the European Union Trade Commissioner – holidayed with Epstein just months before the latter’s arrest in the Caribbean. The two “middle-aged holidaymakers” were photographed on 27th December 2005 in a fashion boutique where the former was snapped trying on a white belt whilst wearing a £21,000 ($28,500, €25,200 or درهم104,800) Patek Phillipe watch – which the ‘Daily Mail’ pointedly noted to be worth “almost two months of his post-tax income.” Opposite him, his clear ‘mate’ Epstein is captured giggling.

Peter Mandelson was quite happy to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein, a mutual mate of the since disgraced JP Morgan Chase & Co. banker Jes Staley, at his £10 million Paris paedo pad circa 20th January 2007 in spite of the taxi driver turned sex trafficker having been charged with soliciting a woman for prostitution in August 2006. Whilst Lord Mandelson may or may not have seen newspaper reports about the arrest of his ‘chum’ just months earlier in August 2006, one is left questioning the standard of his judgment in hanging around with this subsequently convicted nonce. Pictured in a hoodie in his dining room blowing out candles on a cake presented by a diminutive butler named Valdson Viera Cortin is supposedly tee-total Epstein whilst ‘Mandy’ – whom features in the now infamous ‘black book’ we believe belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell with 10 phone numbers attributed – gawped rather over-enthusiastically, a glass of red wine in front of him. The pair appeared in the image perfectly at ease together, in spite of the fact that various newspapers had already reported on the horrific allegations against the Brooklyn born taxi driver turned teacher turned financier.

As we’ve said of entries in the address book often misattributed to Jeffrey Epstein, which we instead believe is primarily the contacts of mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell, The Right Honourable The Lord Mandelson PC is someone closer to this deviant duo than most. With TEN phone numbers for him and his partner since 1998, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, this is someone who they clearly had regular contact with.

Whilst Peter Mandelson has been openly gay for many years and in a known relationship with a Brazilian, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, since 1998, it is lesser known whether Jeffrey Epstein liked ‘underage boys’ as well as ‘underage girls.’ Aside from allegations about an alleged ‘special relationship’ with his alleged benefactor, the aged Victoria’s Secret billionaire tycoon Leslie Wexner, it has been suggested the Ponzi scheming paedophile Epstein liked taking ‘little boys’ to his ‘Paedo Islands’ in the Caribbean as much as he enjoyed taking ‘little girls’ there for his own gruesome gratification. These images by an Instagram ‘artist’ going by the name @AIArtistKing have been proven fake, but rumours about what the former taxi driver turned teacher turned ‘billionaire’ did sexually with males continue to do the rounds.

Oxford educated Peter Mandelson (St Catherine’s College, 1973 to 1976, pictured with Matthew Freud) and Oxford educated Ghislaine Maxwell (Balliol College, graduated 1985, pictured with Rupert Murdoch) are connected in multiple ways. Of the pension pot plundering ‘Bouncing Czech’ that was Robert Maxwell, the Labour peer once remarked: “It was very strange because you’d simultaneously want to be at Maxwell’s parties and at the same time shrink away from him. Because he was such a bully and so unpredictable. To be honest, I was frightened of his company. He had that ability to make you feel completely small and inadequate, and that just scrambled my head.”

Seven Questions Lord Mandelson Ought To Answer…

In January 2009, Peter Mandelson called Jeffrey Epstein in the Palm Beach Stockade (jail) that Mr. Epstein had inhabited after pleading guilty to procuring a minor for sexual abuse. This phone conversation was reported by UK national broadcaster Channel 4 on the Dispatches programme aired in October 2019.

During the phone call, Mandelson sought Epstein’s assistance to set up a meeting with Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The sex offender referred to Mandelson by a nickname (‘Petie’) during the conversation.

“I must say I was astonished that a British cabinet minister at that time, probably the most powerful man other than the Prime Minister, was calling Jeffrey in jail to make an appointment, to seek an appointment with a very powerful banker in New York,” a whistle-blower subsequently told Dispatches.

Accompanying an iPetition – which has been signed by nearly 2,800 people since it was posted in December 2021 – someone named Petra Malkovich asked seven questions. They were:

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson called a convicted child abuser in jail?

In 2012, Peter Mandelson declared in a statement posted on the website of the TerraMar Project, an ostensible charity set up by Ghislaine Maxwell with financial support from Jeffrey Epstein, that he was “supporting” Ms. Maxwell’s organisation. U.S. law enforcement contend that the TerraMar Project was a fake charity slush fund for victims of Maxwell-and-Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson publicly supported Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged ‘fake charity slush fund’ for victims of sex trafficking?

On December 27^th 2005, Peter Mandelson took part in a shopping trip with Jeffrey Epstein in Saint Barthélemys (photos published by the Daily Mail on August 30^th 2019).

Peter Mandelson by this time had “known [Jeffrey Epstein] for several years, having previously once visited his Caribbean island for a holiday – when neither Epstein nor any of the girls were there,” the Daily Mail reported. Mandelson’s partner was also present for the earlier visit, according to eyewitness Cathy Alexander.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised in person and discussed business in person with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions [refer also to the events below]?

On a date falling after August 2006 and before June 30^th 2008, Lord Mandelson paid a social visit to Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s mansion in Paris [see the photo above].

At some point during this rendezvous in Paris of unknown duration, Mandelson and Epstein celebrated a birthday together – seemingly Epstein’s (Epstein was born on January 20^th, which could point to the photo having been taken in either January 2007 or January 2008).

Epstein and Mandelson were joined for this birthday celebration by an as-yet-unnamed individual described in the press as an Epstein “staff member.”

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised with Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s Paris residence after Epstein had already been charged with a sex crime (procuring a woman for prostitution)?

In March 2011, Virginia Roberts (now Virginia Giuffre) told the Mail on Sunday that Peter Mandelson had visited Jeffrey Epstein at his New York townhouse near Central Park, attending a dinner party with the sex trafficker. “I assumed they were in business together,” she recalled.

How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised and/or discussed business with Jeffrey Epstein in the same building from which Mr Epstein was operating his sex trafficking, paedophilia and blackmail operation with Ghislaine Maxwell, with minors routinely sexually assaulted on the premises by Mr Epstein?

In January 2001, Peter Mandelson joined his friend Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic theatre in London, becoming an Associate Director in or before this date (Daily Telegraph, January 5 2001). Spacey had joined the board of the Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000 just a few weeks earlier, in November 2000.

In 2002, Ghislaine Maxwell, another of Mr. Spacey’s close friends, accompanied the Hollywood star on a private tour of Buckingham Palace led by Prince Andrew. Mr. Spacey was using his tenure at the Old Vic to serially sexually assault young actors – at least 20 – with most of the allegations relating to the period up to 2009.

How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was so closely involved with Kevin Spacey and the Old Vic during the period of widespread sexual abuse concerned, yet encountered no reports of these recurring serious sexual abuse episodes involving his friend and colleague?

In or before 2013, Peter Mandelson was brought on to the board of the Alfred Herrhausen Society of Deutsche Bank, according to a July 14 2013 report in ‘Der Spiegel’ of Germany. The report identified Anshu Jain as the executive responsible for Mandelson’s appointment. Deutsche Bank executives approved Jeffrey Epstein as a client in 2013 and then kept working with him.

“[In 2013] Deutsche Bank was aggressively expanding its U.S. wealth management business under its new co-chief executive, Anshu Jain… Deutsche Bank executives ignored repeated red flags, including suspiciously large cash withdrawals and 120 wire transfers totaling $2.65 million to women with Eastern European surnames,” the New York Times reported.

Subsequently, Mr Jain “was forced to step down from the top job at Deutsche Bank after a series of regulatory mishaps.” In 2017 Mr Jain was hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s next-door-neighbour, Howard Lutnick of Cantor Fitzgerald, whose sister, Edie Lutnick, was (in common with Mandelson) a prominent self-declared supporter of Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘TerraMar Project’ charity.

How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was closely involved at Deutsche Bank with the rogue DB executive who was financially enabling Jeffrey Epstein in the exact same period?

“Oh Boy!” – J. P. Morgan Executive On Evil Monster Jeffrey Epstein

That JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive Mary Callahan Erdoes excused Jeffrey Epstein being a paedophile with “oh boy!” and “I don’t know what to believe” emails is proof of how rotten-to-the-core that finance house truly is

On Friday, Inside Edition shared news that they’d obtained Jeffrey Epstein’s appointment schedules from his “longtime assistant” Lesley Groff and aside from mentioning the likes of the former treasury secretary Larry Summers and his wife Lisa meeting with the since croaked paedophile more than ten times between 2012 and 2016, the documents also mentioned the likes of Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby, the Crown Princess of Norway, and Rupert Murdoch’s now ex-wife Wedni Deng Murdoch.

As ever, the rabbit warren that is the story of Epstein and his puppet mistress Ghislaine Maxwell is a gift that keeps on giving and elsewhere Friday, The Washington Post’s Jacob Bogage and Aaron Gregg published a fascinating report containing the deposition from J. P. Morgan Chase & Co.’s chief executive of its asset and wealth management unit Mary Callahan Erdoes about her dealings with her now deceased client.

In it, they revealed:

“When the banker learned a court had affirmed Jeffrey Epstein’s status as a sex offender likely to harm more victims, she had a terse response.”

“‘Oh boy,’ Mary Erdoes wrote in a 2011 email to a fellow executive at JPMorgan Chase, where Epstein was a client for 15 years.”

“It was at least the sixth time Erdoes, who leads the bank’s asset and wealth management division, had been alerted to Epstein’s criminal or civil legal trouble for sex crimes. She had also been informed as early as 2006 that JPMorgan flagged suspicious activity on his accounts.”

“Erdoes’s statements in a nearly nine-hour deposition conducted in March shed new light on the actions of JPMorgan’s highest-ranking officials while Epstein’s conduct faced legal and public scrutiny.”

“The Washington Post obtained the transcript of the deposition, much of which has been unreported until now. This report is based on Erdoes’s answers in that deposition, as well as emails and other internal bank documents that were read into the record during the deposition or introduced as evidence in other court filings.”

“The deposition transcript shows Erdoes said she had been made aware of Epstein’s convictions for sexual offenses, his status as a high-risk sex offender, and public allegations of abuse of minors and human trafficking. But she said she didn’t think it was her responsibility to remove him as a client, launch an inquiry into his accounts or refer them to compliance officials. JPMorgan has a separate process for dealing with client-related legal issues, she said”

“Jes Staley, Erdoes’s supervisor and one of Epstein’s close friends, did investigate the allegations against Epstein by asking the financier about them, according to records read during the deposition.”

“JPMorgan in a statement said it was ‘unfair for The Post to draw these kinds of conclusions without context for the relevant processes at JPMorgan, the tens of millions of clients, and the many professionals involved.’”

“On more than 100 occasions during the deposition, Erdoes said she did not recall details of her role helping supervise Epstein’s accounts, some of which date back two decades. She described Epstein’s crimes as “allegations” even though he pleaded guilty to procuring a child prostitute in 2008 and was declared a Level 3 sex offender – the most serious designation – by a New York state appeals court in 2011.”

“Asked in the March 15 deposition whether she believed Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019, was engaged in sex trafficking, Erdoes said, ‘I don’t know what to believe.’”

Was @jpmorgan exec Mary Callahan Erdoes right to excuse Jeffrey Epstein being confirmed as a paedophile in emails reading “I don’t know what to believe” and “oh boy!”? #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #PrinceAndrew #JPMorgan #crime #truecrime (Article to follow at 12 noon GMT)

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Was J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. executive Mary Callahan Erdoes right to excuse Jeffrey Epstein being confirmed as a paedophile in emails reading ‘I don’t know what to believe’ and ‘oh boy!’? By 11:30am on Sunday 28^th May 2023, the very, very clear majority of respondents favoured the answer: “No; cares only about £££.”

Mary Callahan Erdoes is clearly a woman who failed to take seriously the allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. Here is a woman who DID NOTHING about a man with £98 million ($121 million, €113 million or درهم444 million) in his accounts with J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. in 2008 and whom also “sought to bring the bank more business, according to legal filings, and profit from fees associated with the work” according to ‘The Washington Post.’

Jes Staley, at the time a senior JP Morgan executive (left), with former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers and Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 at the latter’s Lenox Hill, New York mansion.

J. P. Morgan Chase & Co. chief executive officer Jamie Dimon provided a formal statement in two lawsuits relating to his firm’s relationship with the now deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week. Of such, yesterday, the BBC reported: “The nearly 15-year relationship extended from 1998 to 2013, five years after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the bank ignored warning signs about their lucrative client and continued profiting off him. Both Mr Dimon and his employer have denied any wrongdoing and liability. JP Morgan said on Friday evening that Mr Dimon stated he had never met or communicated with Epstein and did not recall discussing Epstein’s accounts with others at the bank. Mr Dimon’s statement was taken in a private legal meeting known as a deposition at the bank’s New York headquarters earlier in the day.”

“I was her parents’ worst nightmare” – words said by James Staley his very self – will be ringing in the ears of swivel-eyed Debbie Nitzan Staley in the wake of her husband’s former company Barclays’s decision to not (yet) payout £22 million the couple were expecting. No doubt that’ll mean one less holiday for her and her two daughters on their 90-foot long gin palace ‘Bequia’ in the coming years.

Sickening & Strange ‘Snow White’ Staley – Jes Staley’s Email Trail Features Jeffrey Epstein Bringing Up ‘Beauty And The Beast’

As further details of Jes Staley’s 1,200 very, very, very strange emails to Jeffrey Epstein emerge, the relationship between the banker and the Ponzi scheming paedophile is show to be very, very, very pally

“I owe you much” enthused the since disgraced ex-JPMorgan and Barclay’s chief executive officer Jes Staley in an email to the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking of his own wife, Debbie Nitzan Staley, at around the same time, the former “fat cat” banker declared: “I was her parents’ worst nightmare” and clearly now, he is morphing into something worse than even that.

Going further and revealed only because of the unsealing of 1,200 emails sent between the pair between 2008 and 2012 in the context of a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) against JPMorgan Chase & Co., Staley wrote in November 2009 of a visit to Epstein’s now notorious ‘Paedo Islands’:

“So when all hell breaks lose [sic], and the world is crumbling, I will come here, and be at peace. Presently, I’m in the hot tub with a glass of white wine. This is an amazing place. Truly amazing. Next time, we’re here together. I owe you much. And I deeply appreciate our friendship. I have few so profound.”

Even more bizarrely and especially telling of their very, very close relationship, in December 2009, Staley sent another missive to Epstein – who held about 55 accounts containing hundreds of millions of dollars with JPMorgan in the period between 1998 and 2013. It read:

“I realize [sic] the danger in sending this email. But it was great to be able, today, to give you, in New York City, a long heartfelt, hug.”

Replying the next day, Epstein – who Staley visited whilst he was in prison even in 2008 and 2009 – stated: “You were with Larry, and I had to put up with…” and included a photo of a young woman.

“Don’t tell me a French wine,” answered Staley whilst Epstein punched back: “Always thoughts of alcohol.”

Later that month, Epstein sent Staley an email featuring only a picture of a young woman and by January, the banker was off sailing his yacht for one of many visits to the Ponzi scheming paedophile’s islands.

On arrival, in January 2010, Staley wrote: “Arrived at your harbor [sic]. Someday, we have to do this together.” Here indeed was indication of a relationship stronger than that simply of banker-client and one of a seemingly very close friendship and mutual ‘appreciation’ of one another.

Worse still, in July 2010, Staley began a chain of emails with Epstein in what has become the most notorious communications between this pair of deviants yet. It went as follows:

Staley: “Maybe they’re tracking u [sic]? That was fun. Say hi to Snow White.”

Epstein: “[W]hat character would you like next?”

Staley: “Beauty and the Beast.”

Epstein: “Well, one side is available.”

Asked of the “Snow White” correspondence previously, Staley’s lawyer has stated: “[The emails were innocuous]… We wish to make it expressly clear that our client had no involvement in any of the alleged crimes committed by Mr Epstein, and code words were never used by Mr Staley in any communications with Mr Epstein, ever.”

Going further himself in 2020, the 66-year old, Massachusetts born Boston Red Sox fan and Democratic Party donor whined: “Obviously, I thought I knew [Epstein] well and I didn’t. For sure, with hindsight with what we know now, I deeply regret having any relationship with Jeffrey.”

The USVI takes a very, very different view and argues that Staley’s emails reference the young girls that Epstein was procuring for sexual abuse. They argue that JPMorgan, as Staley’s employer at the time, is liable for facilitating Epstein’s abuse in their territory.

Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.

Pictured Top – Disgraced banker Jes Staley is someone who’d now like everyone to “shush” about his “Snow White” emails; croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein is probably looking up from hell and laughing at the hell he’s causing for those he sucked into his evil web.

Jes Staley, at the time a senior JP Morgan executive (left), with former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers and Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 at the latter’s Lenox Hill, New York mansion.

That mansion – known as the ‘Paedo Palace’ and situated at 9 East 71st Street, Lenox Hill, New York, NY 10021, USA – was sold for about £36 million in March 2021 after being placed for sale for £69 million in September 2020. Epstein got it “free” from his close “chum” Leslie Wexner, but claimed to have paid £14.5 million for it in 1998. He met with Staley there on multiple occasions.

“I was her parents’ worst nightmare” – words said by James Staley his very self – will be ringing in the ears of swivel-eyed Debbie Nitzan Staley in the wake of her husband’s former company’s decision to not yet payout £22 million the couple were expecting. No doubt that’ll mean one less holiday for her and her two daughters on their 90-foot long gin palace ‘Bequia’ in the coming years.

The now left-out-in-the-cold banker was listed in the infamous ‘Little Black Book’ sometimes wrongly accredited to being Jeffrey Epstein’s – but mostly that features the addresses of contacts of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter – and had six contact numbers as well as an email there. He was clearly a very close associate of the dodgy duo, whatever he may next claim.

The ‘Beauty & The Beast’ email trail will now forever haunt the former JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Barclay’s banker.

In times past Labour peer Lord Mandelson – ‘Mandy’ to his dear and always very wealthy muckers – described the former Barclay’s boss Bob Diamond as “the unacceptable face of banking.” Peter Mandelson, meanwhile, was quite happy to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein, a mutual mate of his successor Jes Staley, at his £10 million Paris paedo pad circa 20th January 2007 in spite of the taxi driver turned sex trafficker having been charged with soliciting a woman for prostitution in August 2006. Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein are pictured here celebrating the latter’s birthday with wine and a cake presented by a diminutive butler named Valdson Viera Cortin. Clearly, Epstein owned the bankers and their cohorts more than they owned him.

Jes Staley (pictured here visiting Downing Street in London when he was the CEO of Barclay’s and still considered ‘Mr Acceptable’ in polite circles) has also been named in a separate lawsuit brought by victims of Jeffrey Epstein. In it, one victim, named only as ‘Jane Doe 1,’ has claimed Staley watched on willingly as Epstein “sexually grabbed young women in front of him” and “benefitted from their close relationship in the receipt of massages, private jet flights with victims or co-conspirators of the operation, and other things of value.” Going further, ‘Jane Doe 1’ added: “[Staley] was the key to making all of Epstein’s depraved dreams of sexual abuse and sex trafficking of countless young women possible.”

No Excuses Dick – Shame On Those Trying To Suggest Dame Cressida Dick As Little Miss Innocent
Ghislaine Maxwell’s schoolmate Dame Cressida Dick’s bleating about her deserved demise should be called out as the disgrace that it truly is; with her turfed out with the trash it is now time for institutional change at the Met Police; no excuses should be accepted

“She felt intimidated by the Mayor of London” before her resignation claimed some blithering bore of Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM on Radio 4’s ‘PM’ last night in spite of the fact that all this useless woman achieved between 2017 and 2022 as Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.

Born in 1960, just like her Oxford school and university mate Ghislaine Maxwell – both were taught by Dame Cressida’s father Marcus Dick, a senior tutor at Balliol College – the now deservedly binned former Metropolitan Police chief’s bleatings should be treated with the contempt they well and truly deserved given she presided over and did nothing about racism and misogyny.

Responding this morning on Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme Leroy Logan MBE, a founding member in 1994 and longtime chair of the Black Police Association, quite rightly slammed Dame Cressida’s tenur and added:

“[It is time for the Met Police to adopt a] culture that embraces a more positive culture of embracing whistleblowers… It is time for them to go against the ‘don’t grass on your colleagues’ culture.”

“They have been marking their own homework during the tenure of this last government… They have to acknowledge that they got things wrong.”

Whilst protocol was completely ignored during Dame Cressida’s tenure and public trust in law enforcement in London was very badly damaged as result, it is now time for better vetting of officers. It is also time that the Metropolitan Police spoke the truth to the powerful politicians who’ve had overly too much influence over it for far too long and with “bye, bye Boris” (and “good riddance” also) being sung in the streets on Monday, it is time for a new era of honesty and transparency.

Pictured top – The now deservedly disgraced former Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis with the equally disgraceful Mayor of London who so loathed her, Sadiq Khan.

The Met’s Catalogue of Failures – Shame on Them

There is unsurprisingly currently zero public confidence in the frankly incompetent Metropolitan Police and of it one Twitter user, June Sim, rightly stated in January 2022: “The Met has always been a byword amongst regional forces. We used to joke if you were rejected, they’ll take anybody. Not helped by the reputation confirmed by the Daniel Morgan report. Reputation already tarnished.”

Amongst the many failings of what ought to be the nation’s premier police force – aside from multiple allegations of racism and racial bias against its officers, its failure to deal with spiralling teenage murders and the many allegations of corruption and incompetence levelled at it – are:
- 1987 – Botched investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan.
- 1993 – Botched investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
- 1994 – Botched investigation into allegations that Ghislaine Maxwell operated a brothel in South Kensington.
- 2009 – Unlawful killing of Ian Tomlinson during his arrest by Met Police officers.
- 2005 – Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes by Met Police officers on the orders of Cressida Dick.
- 2013 – Strip searching of Dr Koshka Duff during her arrest for intervening during a Met Police stop-and-search of a black teenager.
- 2014 – Bungled investigation into allegations of historic child abuse made by Carl Beech.
- 2014 to 2015 – Failure to stop Stephen Port committing subsequent serial killings in spite of his already being linked to the death of a man outside his home.
- 2019 – Farcical mismanagement of policing of Extinction Rebellion protests leading to a bill of £37 million in policing costs.
- 2020 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.
- 2020 – Found to be 2.17 times as likely to issue fines to black people relative to the rest of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
- 2021 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the disappearance of Richard Okorogheye.
- 2021 – Met Police officer Ben Hannam found to be a member of a banned terrorist group.
- 2021 – Shocking conduct of Met Police officers after the murder of Sarah Everard by one of their own colleagues.
- 2022 – Apparent collaboration with Boris Johnson and his government to delay report into ‘Partygate.’
- 2022 – Decision of Met Police to not bother continuing their investigation into the London activities of the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Former Metropolitan Police chief Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM (pictured with two other incompetent horrors, Priti Patel and Boris Johnson) quite understandably came under fire over crises under her watch that numbered the disgraceful shooting and killing of an innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes. She was also slammed over the Met’s use of stop and search tactics, the handlings of recommendations made after the botched Operation Midland, the arrests of attendees at a candlelight vigil for murdered-by-a-serving-Met-officer Sarah Everard and complaints by the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel that she obstructed their inquiry into police corruption. Is it any surprise that by the end the public had no faith in her?

Mucky madam nonce Ghislaine Maxwell loved helping the oceans more than she loved helping young sex trafficked girls escape and now it seems her old mucker Sarah, Duchess of York has gone and got herself on the same trajectory.

Likely well-oiled and off her trolley on the hooch, in a 28-second clip shared on Instagram, the live-in ex-wife of ‘Randy’ Prince Andy took to Instagram yesterday. She appeared hippy-like with flowers on her head and whilst flaunting some kind of packaged bathroom products from a profit-making-firm-not-a-charity named Love Ocean launched into a bizarre rant to her 365,000 followers. In it, she slurred her words and declared:

“So, every day, every day is World Ocean Day. Don’t make it just on June the 8^th, but you’re gonna [sic] do it every day.”

“And look, here is that wonderful bottle and when you see this, you know you are looking after the oceans and here’s the wonderful refill pack. And we love, love, love Ocean Kids.”

“And I just wanted to say, don’t wait, don’t wait for Ocean Day, every day is Ocean Day.”

Responding, one fellow Instagrammer observed: “WTF did I just watch?” after someone followed up: “I want what she’s on.” Going further, one named Anthony Kevin Mee concluded: “I think she’s been on the gin” whilst another, Annette Day, added: “She’s losing the plot! What’s on her head?”

Just like her non-sweating, Pizza Express loving ex-husband, yet again the woman formerly best-known for having had her toes sucked by an errant lover has shown herself as lacking in judgment and the good sense to avoid topics controversial. Yet again, one is left asking: “Who is advising the clearly completely out-of-touch with public sentiment Sarah, Duchess of York?”

Pictured top – The Duke of York’s wide-eyed live-in ex-wife appeared to be a little beyond over-refreshed as she attempted to promote the products of a firm named Love Ocean. Whether she was paid to do this by the run-for-profit company’s founder Gabi Jennings and how much she was financially rewarded for this car crash episode is unknown.

Since the ex-husband she still lives with was reduced to paying £12 million to a woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, he previously claimed to have never have met and since she lost her £18 million ski chalet as a result, the wastrel woman formerly known as Sarah Ferguson has been reduced to flogging unknown shampoo brands to her followers on social media. Her Majesty the Queen must be terribly proud of her and her not-so ‘innovative’ use of the #WeLoveOcean and #RefillRevolution hashtags.

Of ‘Fergie’s’ latest outing on social media yesterday, Instagram user Linda Ellen Willis rightly surmised: “She’s gone absolutely bonkers! Scarry with the darkened eyebrows, lower voice, erratic movements. The poor woman needs help.” In a previous episode of her ‘Fergie & Friends’ series on Instagram, ‘Simpleton Sarah’ – whom unsurprisingly has never declared whether she repaid the loans and other benefits she took from the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – read rather appropriately from a book called ‘I Am Odd’ by Benjamin Giroux. The much-ridiculed redhead most certainly is just that.

Sarah, Duchess of York perhaps was inspired to take up the mantle of protecting oceans given her old chum Ghislaine Maxwell won’t be doing much of that for at least 20 years during her incarceration in a Florida clink for participating in the sexual abuse and trafficking of young girls.

‘The Lady Macbeth of Downing Street’ Carrie Johnson (AKA ‘Carrie Antoinette’ and ‘Carry On Regardless’ used to work for the ‘charity’ Oceana as a senior advisor and member of staff. The organisation had very close links, financial and otherwise, to the now incarcerated, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

In happier times, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie used to love living it up on the party circuit with the favourite daughter of the poisonous and pugnacious pension pot plunderer Robert Maxwell. Those days are over for both of them given the Houses of York and Maxwell are now associated with nothing but sleaze and sexual abuse.

‘Headmaster Harvey’s’ Back – Kinky Harvey Proctor Gets Job Back

As the former “kinky MP” ‘Headmaster Harvey’ Proctor gets his job back with the Duke of Rutland, we remind readers of his history supporting apartheid, caning young men “for being naughty” and connections to mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell

This morning, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported that Harvey Proctor – a cry baby former politician known as a “kinky MP” and convicted of gross indecency with a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man in May 1987 – has returned to “his former glory” and got his job and grace-and-favour home back.

Once again employed as a private secretary by the 11^th Duke of Rutland, one-time far-right Monday Club member Harvey Proctor – who was falsely accused by a subsequently exposed fantasist named Carl Beech – crowed to the paper: “I’m back in my old house, which is a beautiful house in the Vale of Belvoir… I don’t honestly think I have a feeling or a need of vindication. Others have proved what happened in 2015 was just a nonsense and I’ve managed to live through it and come out the other side.” Disgusted readers, without doubt, asked those sitting opposite them at their breakfast tables to pass the sick bucket.

Eden reported that ‘Headmaster Harvey’ had appeared on a 2-hour-2-minute LBC podcast hosted by Iain Dale last week. Of it, themselves LBC surmised: “Iain Dale talks to former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor about his life and career. They discuss his eight years in parliament which ended in 1987 and spend the second half of the podcast discussing the allegations made against him by Operation Midland and the years it has taken to clear his name. It’s at times a difficult listen, with some tears along the way.”

Self-satisfied Proctor – who also took to Twitter last week to disgustingly claim: “When I was an MP I called for voluntary repatriation and was labelled a racist… We should have controlled immigration in the 1950s and 1960s but because politicians didn’t they should have stopped immigration in the 1970s and 1980s. Had my suggestions to stop immigration in the 1970s and 1980s been adopted we could be more generous with refugees now” – it must be remembered featured in an August 2019 article in The Steeple Times about how he had once been linked to the now convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell.

The feature, titled “With friends like these…” read:

“Ghislaine Maxwell’s relationships with sexual deviants were not limited to just Jeffrey Epstein; she was previously linked to former MP Harvey ‘Whacko’ Proctor.”

“It turns out that the former MP and convicted criminal Harvey Proctor – found guilty of gross indecency with teenagers in 1986 – is linked to Ghislaine Maxwell via his former employer, the current Duke of Rutland.”

“On 26^th October 1986, The People – then owned by the pension pot robber Robert Maxwell – ran a front page spread about how someone had tried to “blackmail” them and their proprietor if they ‘continued with [their] ‘campaign’ against the kinky MP [Harvey Proctor].’ They claimed a caller had alleged they ‘would reveal compromising details of an alleged relationship between Mr Maxwell’s daughter Ghislaine and the son of a Duke… at Belvoir Castle with incriminating pictures of them in compromising positions.’”

“In the article, the alleged sex game and rentboy lover Harvey Proctor is quoted and tellingly bleated:’“I know nothing about it at all. I would describe this kind of threat as absolutely disgraceful. I have no idea who would do anything like that. It has nothing to do with me. I have nothing more to say.’”

“The People had previously run an article about the then Tory politician that had suggested he ‘was not fit to remain an MP.’ It concluded: ‘In the words of Oliver Cromwell: ‘IN THE NAME OF GOD, GO!’ The same now could perhaps be said of the murky missing madam of the moment Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Whilst Mr Proctor, like all convicted of crimes, has a right to move on having paid a fine for such, that he continues to so arrogantly bang on shows only one thing and that he is a clearly awful and utterly objectionable, attention seeking bully boy. Next!

Proctor was a key figure in the Conservative Monday Club. He produced an article for its pamphlet, ‘Monday World,’ calling for the scrapping of the Commission for Racial Equality in October 1982 and was shockingly a member of the apartheid supporting club’s committee whilst Member of Parliament for Basildon.

On Twitter on 16th June, ‘Dame Alun Roberts’ remarked: “Robert Maxwell had a collection of whips that would have made Harvey Proctor red with envy” and quoted Eleanor Berry’s references to Ghislaine Maxwell supposedly being abused by her pension pot plundering papa.

The “spanking scandal” made front page news on 26th October 1986 in ‘The People’ with then proprietor Robert Maxwell claiming: “Publisher told ‘Gag The People.’” And “Blackmail: Maxwell threatened over spanking MP.”

In April this year, the ex-MP appeared on the GB News channel’s ‘Talking Pints’ with Patrick Christys to bang on about his experiences. He whined and whined and stated: “Quite horrendous. If anyone hasn’t faced that sort of pressure, continuous pressure, it is horrendous.” Instead of following the show’s title and necking beer, Proctor and his interviewer curiously swooshed down glasses of wine.

In 1988, Mr Proctor joined guests including Christine Keeler on the legendary show ‘After Dark’ to confront a reporter who had written about his links to rent boys, Annette Witheridge. She unsurprisingly made rather a prat of this brazen, bombastic bore.

Philbrick to Phil-Nicked! Inigo Philbrick Hits The Clink

As “vain” and “greedy” Inigo Philbrick gets deservedly jailed for 7 years, we remind readers that he remains a pretentious pillock whilst his bird-brained ‘baby mama’ Victoria Baker-Harber remains a mouthy moron

Inigo Philbrick used to look the part, but yesterday The New York Times told that this condescending conman now only sports “tan jail garb.” It, frankly, rather suits this wretched wazzock.

Previously clad in £5,000 a pop suits and often in favour of sporting handmade shoes, this truly nasty piece of toerag was on Monday deservedly thrown in the clink for 84 months for conning art collectors out of over £73 million.

Known most widely for otherwise hanging around with the mouthy meddler and harbour of haranguing that is his latest ‘baby mama’ Victoria Baker-Harber – herself a bargain basement version of the ‘aristoprat’ Lady Victoria Hervey – Philbrick is lauded as a “mini Madoff” but frankly, let’s be truly honest, he was nothing but a tawdry, out of touch with reality seller of tripe.

Prone also to dining at the pretentious favourite of only the Ecclestone trashbag sisters that is C-London – where he tellingly put his bills on account whilst even the Putin apologist coffin dodger’s dodgy daughters coughed up – Philbrick will now dine on only luncheon meat slices and gruel for the next 2,555 days.

The rotten ratbag Inigo Philbrick deserves all he gets and sane people everywhere will now join with us in celebrating that he’s no longer able to perform the art of fraud on anyone else (for at least seven years).

Pictured top – Podgy pillock jailbird Inigo Philbrick with his loudmouth lover Victoria Baker-Harber in happier times.

As he was sent down, according to ‘The New York Times,’ rotten-to-his-core Philbrick pretentious to the very end: “Lowered a face mask that he was wearing, turned to face his supporters in the gallery, held a hand to his chest then blew a kiss.” The paper added: “Mr. Philbrick, wearing tan jail garb, told Judge Stein that he felt deep shame and embarrassment over his actions and that he would work the rest of his life to restore the trust he had squandered and repay the debts he owed. ‘I apologize without reservation or restraint,’ he said, calling his conduct “outrageous and inexcusable.’”

‘ARTnews’ added of the drug using fraudster: “In an emotional statement of his own read aloud to the court, Philbrick expressed ‘remorse and sorrow for the damage’ that he had caused to those around him. He said that he had been in solitary confinement when his daughter was born in 2020 and that the sentencing on Monday would help him in “closing a door on an almost-10-year-long period of my life. Referring to the internship he got at White Cube when he was in his early 20s, he said, ‘Twelve years ago, I was offered a role in the art world that came with great prestige. It also required deception.’ Later, diverging from his prewritten statement, Philbrick said, ‘The only goal I have is to make the people who believed in me whole.’”

Amongst those conned by the slimy toad was the art collector Kenny Schachter. Of him, braindead berk Baker-Harber showed no regret for her association with Philbrick – a trashbag who ferried her around in a private jet at the expense of others – in retweeting an attack on Schachter by someone named ‘Koogs’ on Twitter on 14th June 2020. They opined: “Who quotes themselves?? Get over it! Your wife is a billionaire! Are you crying about cash or cock?”

Like fellow swindler Angela Gulbenkian, here is an entitled twerp who thought he was above the law. Long may this ratbag rot.

Furnish-less Pearl – Meghan Markle & David Furnish Fail

As David Furnish and the Duchess of Sussex’s pathetic pet project ‘Pearl’ gets deservedly kicked into the trash can by Netflix, we ask: “What’s next for the titleless husband of tantrum prone Sir Elton John?”

When not holidaying with his “nightclub hunk” chum Danny Williams in lands where olive oil producing trees blossom, ‘Mr NOT Sir’ David Furnish – a whiner prone to moaning that it’s not fair that he hasn’t got a title himself in spite of his union with tantrum prone Sir Elton John – likes to spend time busying himself helping out the conveniently forgetful wench formerly known as Meghan Markle.

Prone like drippy dullard Prince Harry to seeking out privacy via courts yet constantly like him also courting publicity whenever it suits, 59-year-old Furnish took to Instagram in July 2021 to enthuse about working with the Duchess of Sussex jointly as executive producers on a Netflix series with the “working title” Pearl.

At the time the soppy Canadian born fan of the anti-free speech organisation that is the Web Sheriff blabbed:

“I am delighted that we are finally able to announce this exciting animated series. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and I are deeply passionate about bringing the inspirational and positive stories of extraordinary women from around the world to a global audience of all ages. The team collaborating on the series are first class, and @netflix are the perfect partner.”

Now, following news that Pearl was unsurprisingly kicked into the trashcan by Netflix last week as part of a wave of cutbacks at the production company and streaming service, the Duchess of Sussex has removed all reference to it on her Archewell website.

Whilst clearly Pearl won’t now continue her “journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges” and the snotty father hater will most likely move onto her next focus – most likely high office – it is unknown what project the wannabe ‘Lady John’ will seek out next.

A job in Netflix’s stage set carpentry department maybe might suit. After all, like Michael Heseltine before him, here is a chap who has had to buy his own furniture (in addition to all that he snapped up for dear old Danny).

Pictured top – Sir Elton John’s clearly very happy at that moment hubby living up on a yacht with the ‘mate’ he bought an apartment for, Danny Williams (left) and the snarling, sniveling piece of toerag that is married to the Queen’s grandson (right).

The late Alan Clark once said of Michael Heseltine: “An arriviste, certainly, who can’t shoot straight and in Jopling’s damning phrase ‘bought all his own furniture,’ but who at any rate seeks the cachet. All the nouves in the party think he is the real thing.” David Furnish would love a title, but like his wealthy chum The Right Honourable The Lord Lebedev of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation (or ‘Evgeny ‘Two Beards’ to his mates and a man who got a title courtesy of another of their chummy ‘club,’ Boris Johnson), he is able to buy rather a lot of furnishings courtesy of his husband’s estimated £375 million fortune.

Sir Elton John and his titleless husband – whom, if you’d believe his April 2016 whining to the ‘Daily Mail’s’ Sebastian Shakespeare, would like to be called ‘Lady John’ – like to spend as much time as possible with Prince Charles’ second son and his avaricious wife. The non-working royals like to sponge off the very, very, very rich popstar and his hubby and, let’s be honest, they wouldn’t be clinging to their coattails if they the 75-year-old old geezer and his 16-year-younger sidekick were living in a council house in Peckham.

Given ‘Pearl’ proved anything but a dazzling diamond, instead of seeking out a role at the UN or in American politics, perhaps it is now time for the sloppy seconds actress that is the former Meghan Markle to return to the sluttier side of the screen. With a reputation like hers, this ‘Modern Day Mrs Simpson’ ought to be reminded that scum always floats to the top and that the world has seen through this mendacious minxes antics.

Heroine of the Hour 2021 – Jackie Weaver

2021’s redoubtable “Queen of Zoom” Jackie Weaver moves on from pesky parish council punch-ups and commandeers comedy and literary lavishness after one of those infamous councillors is convicted of calling his neighbours “tarts” and “Peeping Toms”

After having “barely blinked when being yelled at” by some especially unctuous male councillors and made a guest appearance in The Archers even, “2021’s Queen of Zoom” Jackie Weaver has put-pen-to-paper and written about her experiences “getting things done without fuss, keeping cool in the face of adversity and pressing mute on the noise.”

In You Do Have the Authority Here!: #What Would Jackie Weaver Do?, this “indomitable lockdown sensation” and “feminist political icon we didn’t know we needed” shares her “standing orders for life” in what she terms a “non-nonsense, witty and incisive way.”

Contrasting with an especially Victor Meldrew-esque “maverick” member of Handforth parish council, of which she remains the “doughty clerk,” named Brendan Murphy – featured in The Steeple Times in March after he was convicted of harassing his elderly neighbours and calling them “perverts, tarts and peeping Toms” – Jackie Weaver has also moved on and put her ‘fame’ to use on the comedy circuit.

In February, this fearless female hosted an evening titled The Comedians’ Council in Balham, London. Described as “the ultimate council meeting,” the event challenged “comedian-councillors” to “tackle tough audience questions.” They included: “‘Is wearing socks and sandals a criminal offence?’ or ‘Can you really trust people who prefer baths to showers?’ These important questions will be posed by the live audience and, just like a real council meeting, the panel will engage in friendly debate before voting each issue.”

What’s on the agenda next for Jackie Weaver as we move into 2022? A cheese and wine standoff with Boris and Carrie Johnson at 10 Downing Street or a non-sweaty Sloppy Giuseppe with Prince Andrew at Pizza Express, Woking? Subject to ‘Bosie The Clown’ actually making any kind of decision whether to allow us freedom or not in the New Year, we’ll all be waiting, watching and wishing this wonderfully wacky woman well.

This would have to be totally the best Christmas present ever for anyone in the world!!! (oh – except possibly for me – I'm holding out for emeralds) pic.twitter.com/xUBOMckq6j
— Jackie Weaver (@jackieweaver) December 21, 2021

Elsewhere yesterday in ‘The Times,’ chief officer of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils Jackie Weaver shared her thoughts on how she would deal with Christmas fall-outs and declared that for her “this year has been a whirlwind.” A pesky parish council meeting most certainly turned her into a star whilst ‘Good Housekeeping’ recently rather appropriately suggested her book to be “an essential guide.”

Handforth parish councillor and “the first Macclesfield Tory to ever be sacked” Brendan Murphy was convicted of harassing his neighbours Christopher and Margaret Boyd over a 13-year period in March 2021. When deservedly dragged before Stockport Magistrates’ Court, without an ounce of remorse this bombastic bore pontificated pugnaciously and stated: “I call Mr Boyd a ‘Peeping Tom’ and his wife a ‘Tart’ for a good reason and I think my legal response is justifiable. I saw a CCTV camera on the wall filming me and I jokingly said, ‘I see you are a peeping Tom.’ I also said: ‘Mind you don’t fall off that roof, I cannot give you the kiss of life,’ but that was a joke too. On one of the occasions, I was out with my dog. Mr and Mrs Boyd were walking down the road hand in hand swinging their arms looked very happy. I said: ‘I’m glad to see you are so happy’ but instead of crossing the road she lurched into me and the dog whimpered in pain and that is when I called her a tart. I think they are making a big deal out of this. I do not do it every day. I am an elected active councillor and I do a lot of community work. There have been instances where I did say in response to them and they would stare, laugh, and sneer. Mr Boyd is a very active DIY man with improving the garden, etc. His garage is his workshop, and he makes a loud noise that I do not want to hear. People use the word ‘tart’ in lots of different ways and I will continue calling them a Peeping Tom and a tart as long as the cameras are still there. I say these words 100 times when I see the cameras and it just gets it off my chest. There are nastier things I could say.”

Elsewhere in 2021, ‘The Steeple Times’ reported on a similarly stupid debacle in Henley-on-Thames. “Henley’s 9/11,” as Henley’s “BinGate” saga was somewhat crassly branded, involved an eccentric actor “in many popular soaps” turned councillor named David Eggleton “storming away from his camera” and resigning after he didn’t get what he wanted over the installation of bins in this especially tony town. “I don’t believe in waste… I think the report was misleading and taking out the option of refurbishing is not democracy. I have the knowledge and expertise around waste and they are not listening to me… Okay, goodbye” declared gobby granddad Eggleton before he threw one of many tiresome tantrums.

During the “chaotic” Handforth parish council meeting that made Jackie Weaver famous, this “doughty clerk” dealt with “argumentative male councillors by kicking them off the Zoom call.” She “kept her cool” and “got her revenge with another remorseless click of her eviction button.” Speaking of the experience, in an interview with ‘The Guardian,’ the Cheshire Association of Local Councils employee stated: “It’s harsh to take some pleasure from that, but I’m afraid when you are being bullied, if you can see that the other person has lost it, then there is the sense of: ‘I did OK there because I managed to hold it together.’ There is an element of bullying and bad behaviour in local councils and a lot of us are working very hard, and that includes central government, to try and do something about that.”

Prior to her cameo in BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Archers,’ “Internet star” Jackie Weaver declared on Twitter in March 2021: “I really feel the #TheArchers need a parish council advisor – I am their girl! Parish councils are in their ascendance – let’s use every platform we can to encourage engagement. #TheArchers please get in touch!” They most certainly did and in August this year, she put a stop to a protest in the fictional village of Ambridge even.

Greedy, Guilty & Gaoled – Inigo Philbrick

Gaoled ‘Mini-Madoff’ Inigo Philibrick admits he did “it for money… that simple” as he pleads guilty to £64 million art fraud; his usually mouthy ‘baby mama’ Victoria Baker-Harber has meanwhile gone surprisingly silent

Somewhat ludicrously lauded as an “art world wunderkind” by The Daily Beast and “the art world’s Mini-Madoff” by his one-time chum, the art dealer Kenny Schachter, Inigo Philbrick this week pleaded guilty to wire fraud and will turn over some £64 million ($86 million, €76 million or درهم316 million) and several paintings to authorities.

Now facing upto 20 years in jail without the possibility of parole when sentenced on 18^th March 2021, 34-year-old Philbrick – who is presently engaged and has a young child with the mouthy Made In Chelsea reality show participant Victoria Baker-Harber – told the Manhattan federal court: “I knew my actions were wrong and illegal.”

Going further, the Ponzi scheming crook added: “[I] knowingly engaged [in a scheme to make money using] material misrepresentations and omissions.”

Asked by the judge in the case, Sidney Stein: “Why did you do this?”, Philbrick responded: “For money, your honour… That simple.” Reportedly, prior to proceedings, the felon “looked towards a modelesque blonde who was seated in the front row, and raised his eyebrows at her in a playful greeting.”

Described mockingly by Vulture as having “shackles around his ankles [and] wearing a khaki jail shirt and institutional navy pants” and with hair “grown out into a sort of curly mullet,” the supposedly “remorseless” criminal’s plea deal has resulted in prosecutors recommending a sentence of between 121 and 151 months. As part of this, he has agreed not to appeal any sentence of 151 months or less.

In a statement following the hearing, U.S. attorney Damian Williams commented:

“Inigo Philbrick was a serial swindler who took advantage of the lack of transparency in the art market to defraud art collectors, investors, and lenders of more than $86 million to finance his art business and his lifestyle.”

Responding in an emailed statement, the bearded bullshitter’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, later remarked:

“Inigo accepted full responsibility for his actions today and will pay for his crimes the rest of his life.”

“While his actions were dishonest and criminal in nature, he’s part of an industry sick from top to bottom where this sort of behavior is sadly commonplace. That being said, he apologises to his victims and will do all that he can to make them whole.”

Previously, in December 2019, revered art dealer Jay Jopling – who helped launch Philbrick’s career by giving him an internship – told ARTnews:

“I am aware of the serious allegations made against Mr Inigo Philbrick. It has hurt and saddened me to learn that Mr Philbrick, whom I respected and whose early career I supported, has not only betrayed my trust but, it appears, that of many others.”

“We are privileged in our industry to work closely with the artists and art that we love. I am enormously disappointed that Mr. Philbrick appears to have abused this position of privilege.”

“I was shocked to discover the allegations of serious wrongdoing by Mr Philbrick in U.S. media reports in October 2019. At the earliest possible opportunity, I applied for an injunction against Mr Philbrick to protect my interests.”

Pictured top: Incarcerated conman Inigo Philbrick with Victoria Baker-Harber – a wacky woman who’ll normally do anything for attention who has remarkably now gone rather quiet on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Works by famous artists that passed through the grubby hands of double-dealing, deviant dealer Inigo Philbrick included ones by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Wade Guyton, Donald Judd, Yaoyoi Kusama, Richard Prince, Rudolf Stingel and Christopher Wool. He was snared in June 2020 on the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu after disappearing in October 2019.

Amongst victims of the fraudster were Kenny Schachter (pictured left). Victoria Baker-Harber (right) showed no regret for her association with Inigo Philbrick in June 2020 – a man who ferried her around in a private jet at the expense of others – in retweeting an attack on Schachter by someone named ‘Koogs’ on Twitter. They opined: “Who quotes themselves?? Get over it! Your wife is a billionaire! Are you crying about cash or cock?”

Prior to taking up with tedious twerp Victoria Baker-Harber, Inigo Philbrick was in relationship with Francisca Mancini, a Buenos Aires born art advisor turned perfume maker.

Kenny Schachter having a chat about Inigo Philbrick amongst other things. One thing is for certain about the husband of Ilona Rich Schachter (daughter of the late Marc Rich and Denise Eisenberg Rich) – he’s anything but reticent about sharing his opinions about his former friend, someone he has given the moniker ‘The Art World’s Mini-Madoff.’
