Ahead of tonight’s airing of Channel 4’s much-anticipated ‘Spacey Unmasked’, Kevin Spacey’s ‘close chum’ and agent Evan Lowenstein launches bizarre rant at ‘The Steeple Times’s’ Matthew Steeples

Tonight at 9pm, Channel 4 will air the first episode of what is expected be a very punchy two-part exposé about the controversial mate of the in-the-clink mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell and the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the former House of Cards American remake ‘star’ Kevin Spacey.

 

In the run up to this ‘must-watch,’ in response to a perfectly reasonable tweet, the New Jersey born actor-producer’s self-declared “best friend” and agent since 2016, Evan Lowenstein, yesterday launched a bizarre rant at The Steeple Times.

 

An ensuing pile-on naturally followed from Spacey ‘groupies’ on the social media platform and it highlighted one thing; Lowenstein, the agent for an individual – who has been described to me by respected actors and producers who’ve worked with Spacey as “arrogant, acerbic and weird” (by the more charitable amongst them) – is clearly not exactly suited to the world of public relations or crisis management.

 

Marketed by Channel 4 on their website as “a forensic look at Kevin Spacey’s rise and fall from grace amid allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour,” the show, titled Spacey Unmasked, will include “several men [speaking] about their experiences with the actor.”

 

Reportedly featuring previously unquoted individuals describing Spacey as “a soulless monster,” “like a shark” and someone who allegedly took the attitude: “I can do this, I can do this to you, I’m Kevin Spacey,” of the documentary The Hollywood Reporter’s Lilly Ford last week shared:

 

“In between clips of prolific award wins and talk-show wisecracks, Spacey Unmasked features the testimonies of a group of men — identified by their first names only — that span five decades, ranging from a teenage Spacey at high school to the height of his House of Cards fame, as well as his time at the Old Vic.”

 

“In Spacey Unmasked, one actor, Scott, tells viewers: ‘If you don’t pay the toll in sexual favors [sic], you’ll have a decent career, but you won’t see your name in lights.’”

 

“Spacey’s brother, Randy, is also interviewed. He says in the doc that he was sexually abused by their father, who held ‘Nazi meetings’ at their family home as a teenager. His brother Kevin was not abused to his knowledge – though that doesn’t mean there wasn’t ‘psychological trauma,’ Randy adds.”

 

“The allegations in Spacey Unmasked also include that the star pushed his groin into the face of an Old Vic worker while serving as the venue’s director and that he masturbated in front of an aspiring actor as they watched Saving Private Ryan in a public theatre [sic], before trying to move the victim’s hand to join in.”

 

Last Thursday, objecting to the show’s airing, Spacey took to Twitter himself and raged: “I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4.”

 

He then laughably accused the award-winning channel of giving him too short a window to respond to the statements made in the programme and ranted: “I have repeated requested that Channel 4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters. Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a ‘fair opportunity’ for me to refute any allegations made against me.”

 

Spacey then bizarrely gave an ‘interview’ via Twitter to the disgraced and quite rightly fired GB News presenter Dan Wootton – someone best known for the poison he’d penned about Susan Boyle and Johnny Depp. In it he came across as “irrational” and “deranged” according to those that have watched it (I am blocked by Wootton on Twitter so have not seen it myself).

 

In response, Channel 4 quite rightly remarked: “Kevin Spacey has been given sufficient opportunity to respond,” whilst in turn I added on Twitter:

 

“I stand with Dorothy Byrne FRTS [the hugely respected BAFTA and Emmy award winning executive producer of Spacey Unmasked and the former head of news and current affairs at Channel 4 for 15 years] and Channel 4 and those speaking out. 7 days is more than enough time to respond. Knowing what I know about Kevin Spacey, I must say I only found him arrogant, acerbic and weird.”

 

Whilst I did not anticipate any kind of reply from anyone close to the actor, the first came from Spacey’s very own agent – though I at first did not have a clue who he even was – and someone he most recently declared his “best friend,” Evan Lowenstein. It read:

 

“Are we now at the point of Dorothy asking all her friends to help support? I do appreciate you admitting that you ‘ONLY found him to be arrogant, acerbic and weird.’ FWIW, based on your post, I find you to be desperate and ignorant. And maybe even a good friend.”

 

I answered: “I don’t know Dorothy [Byrne], but I do know a respected actor/producer who was treated appallingly by Spacey during his tenure at The Old Vic. I witnessed one episode and as for Spacey’s friendship with paedos Ghislaine Maxwell & Jeffrey Epstein, that is a very clear mark of the ‘man.’”

 

“I’ve no idea who you are & that you call me ‘desperate’ is odd. ‘Desperate’ for what? Supporting perfectly reasonably 7-day journalistic requests is clearly something you want silenced. I can only assume you are a friend of Kevin Spacey. Were you a friend of Maxwell/Epstein too?”

 

After a further Lowenstein reply in which he said he’d “try to be more careful” (and my having discovered who he actually is), my final missive read: “You might also wish to pass on the need for being ‘more careful’ to your client Kevin Spacey and his weird choice of associate, the scumbag Dan Wootton. He is a vile specimen who was abusive about the divine Susan Boyle. Terming a true lady ‘volatile’ was beyond twisted and sick.”

 

Going further, however, in the hours running up to the airing of the programme on Monday the clearly dimwitted dunce Lowenstein, a fine example of someone when in a hole incapable of stopping digging, decided to return to the fray to further insult me. The bombastic bore, without citing any kind of evidence, predictably tittle-tattled:

 

“Steeples gets no views on his posts. He’s only engaging to help his view count. He’s a great example of Dunning-Kruger effect. The less you know about something the more confident you are about it. Also see: ignorance. I suggest we ignore.”

 

Asked for comment on Sunday of “talent manager with no other client” Lowenstein’s remarks, a veteran, respected senior Daily Mail journalist told The Steeple Times: “I don’t know him, but he sounds pretty odious though.”

 

A photographer, who snapped Spacey in “times happier,” of the actor added: “Too many in the high echelons of film fall for these members of what some call ‘The Club’ and ignore what it suits them to ignore. Nobody in the movie world wants to turn off the cash cow after all – even if they know that seriously sordid things are going on. Spacey’s friendships with Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein speak volumes.”

 

Elsewhere, in January 2019, the DailyMail.com’s Jose Lambiet shared that the “former boy-bander’s” now ex-wife, Kassini Lowenstein, “submitted a petition to modify her divorce settlement” after claiming she “asked the former husband not to allow [their] minor children to interact with Spacey.”

 

Supposedly worried that her former husband “had been attached at Spacey’s hip since he took over the thespian’s career in 2016,” Kassini Lowenstein also alleged that their children were “consistently let down when he fails to spend any time with them.”

Loathed and detested by many Kevin Spacey’s curious connections…

Matthew Steeples joins Peter Bleksley, Martin Brunt and Shabnam Chaudri to discuss the Madeleine McCann case and the latest trial of Christian Brueckner on unrelated charges on TalkTV

Premiered last night on YouTube, Matthew Steeples of The Steeple Times appeared on a 22:34-minute TalkTV programme, Crime Suspect, hosted by the crusading ex-detective Peter Bleksley.

 

Interviewed alongside another former police officer, retired Metropolitan Police detective superintendent Shabnam Chaudri, and longstanding Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt – who has been on that channel since it launched in 1989 – the panel discussed the trial of Christian Brueckner prior to it beginning today in Braunschweig, Germany.

 

Whilst convicted paedophile Brueckner – referenced in Germany just as ‘Christian B’ – is on trial for alleged sex crimes unrelated to his alleged involvement in the missing Madeleine McCann saga, interest in his connections to the unsolved for 17 years case was the focus of the episode.

 

During a frank discussion, Brunt referenced how he will be in attendance for proceedings whilst Chaudri examined the issue of evidence in historic cases. Steeples, questioned by Bleksley, talked of his having met Gerry and Kate McCann via his involvement in the deservedly long ago shuttered Parents and Abducted Children Together (PACT) charity and on behalf of other missing children asked: “Why don’t the cases of other missing people get nearly as much attention and nearly as much money and resources thrown at them?”

Missing Madeleine – Questions STILL without Answers… £14 million wasted on Operation Grange… Why continue? Why waste more? Why not help others?

Many questions about what happened on the evening of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann remain. Some that have been highlighted by the press and discussed online include:

• Why did Kate McCann refuse to answer 48 questions put to her by the Portuguese police?

 

• Why were certain records of phone calls on the evening of the disappearance “whoosh-clunked” from the memories of the phones of Mr and Mrs McCann and the ‘Tapas 7’?

 

• Why were relevant mobile phone records never handed over to the authorities in spite of them potentially being useful to the search?

 

• Why did the couple not use the babysitting service on offer in the holiday resort on the evening of 3^rd May 2007 when they went out on the razzle dazzle with friends?

 

• Why was the door to the apartment – which opened directly onto a public highway – left unlocked with three children aged under three years old alone inside?

 

• Why did a British sniffer dog sense the smell of a corpse in a cupboard in the apartment from which Madeleine McCann disappeared?

 

• Why did a sniffer dog also supposedly sense the smell of a corpse in a vehicle hired by the couple a month after the disappearance of their daughter?

 

• Why did the McCanns repeatedly try to discredit the work of the sniffer dogs and their handlers?

 

• Why did Mr and Mrs McCann go jogging and play tennis in the days after their daughter’s disappearance?

 

• Was it acceptable for Mr and Mrs McCann’s mortgage to be paid by the fund established to search for their missing daughter?

 

• Why have the McCanns attempted to ‘gag’ anyone who disputes their version of events – most especially Gonçalo Amaral?

 

• Why, given over £14 million has been spent on this search to date, has nobody come forward with any sighting of ‘missing’ Madeleine McCann given the very, very substantial rewards on offer?

 

Matthew Steeples asks: “Is it acceptable for mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell to profit from her crimes in penning a memoir?”

Given her deviant daddy ‘Cap’n Bob’ was the head honcho of Pergamon Press as well as being the pugnacious proprietor of the Mirror Group, convicted criminal sex abuser Ghislaine Maxwell has long had connection with world of publishing.

 

Now, with news that in spite of being banged up in a Florida clink for her heinous and morally repugnant acts against young ladies, is to pen a memoir, three questions emerge. Those questions:

 

• Is it acceptable for this wicked woman to be profiting from her crimes in royalties received for such a book whilst deservedly rotting in a jail cell?
• Which publisher would have the gall to give this truly beyond arrogant airtime and encourage this wicked wench to pile more misery on her victims?
• Why does United States law allow criminals to profit from crimes whilst incarcerated and why will it allow this enabler of Jeffrey Epstein and others like her to profit also from associated documentaries, podcasts and films?

 

Speaking to Newsweek earlier this week, Kate Mangells, a partner at the Kinsella, Holley, Iser, Kump, Steinsapir Attorneys firm in Los Angeles observed that attempts to stop people profiting from their crimes have not been successful. She remarked: “There have been legislative attempts to restrict this ability, but they have largely been ruled unconstitutional.”

 

The criminal defence lawyer and partner in the firm added:

 

“In the 1970s, following the Son of Sam killings in New York City, the New York legislature passed a law known as the Son of Sam Law to restrict a convicted criminal’s ability to profit off of selling their story. But this law, and similar laws in other states, has been found to be in violation of free speech rights under the First Amendment.”

 

“There are some state laws setting forth rules related to notifying victims about potential compensation, but they do not entirely restrict a convicted person from profiting. So, Maxwell can legally benefit financially from telling or selling her story.”

 

Clearly still delusional and deranged to her core (just like her late pension pot plundering papa), here is evidence of only one thing; the continuing arrogance of the rotten-to-her-core reprobate Ghislaine Maxwell. Shame on her, but shame also on a system that allows such.

 

Pictured top – Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein kept a “rule book” for staff at the thankfully now wrecking ball visited Palm Beach mansion they often shared. It featured instructions such as “see nothing, hear nothing” and yet now this mucky madam thinks it appropriate to write a tell-all memoir; that would have totally unacceptable in 2004 and it is most definitely unacceptable in 2024.

Matthew Steeples remarks on the conviction of Bernie Ecclestone; a diminutive dwarf who’ll go down in history as a convicted criminal fraudster

Of the cretinous coffin dodger Bernard Charles Ecclestone he’d made a documentary about, writer and producer Manish Pandey once remarked: “He’s 5-foot, 3 inches tall, working class, [had] no formal education after the age of 15, with one working eye… There’s nothing ostensibly going for him.”

Now, going further, three words can be added to the resume of this appalling apologist for maniacs including Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin and bestie of the ratbag royal Prince Andrew. Those three words? “Convicted criminal fraudster.”

Yesterday, the father of a bunch of overindulged braying brats Ecclestone agreed to pay nearly £653 million in back taxes and fines to His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and pleaded guilty to fraud. He was subsequently sentenced to 17 months jail time suspended for two years came and now will go down in history for his clear and shameful criminality.

Whilst Wikipedia have yet to update the introductory paragraphs of their entry of a man who should be spending the remainder of his rotten life in the clink, what has been set is actually a terrible precedent. Here is an example of something akin to what was once said of Donald Trump; if you owe the bank a dollar, the bank closes you down, but if you owe the bank a billion, you own the bank.

Instead of truly punishing this bombastic billionaire as would have occurred to ordinary people caught committing tax fraud, the payment of a substantial sum to HMRC now allows 92-year-old Ecclestone to buy his way out of time in a prison cell. He instead joins a club of rich people who basically think they’re above the law, but forever more any media mention of him should begin with the words “convicted criminal fraudster Bernie Ecclestone.”

BOG OFF BERNIE! BERNIE ECCLESTONE’S WORST MOMENTS

A poisonous penny-pinching dwarf and well-known as a “coffin dodger,” convicted criminal fraudster Bernie Ecclestone – a bestie of the man who paid £12 million to a woman he claims never to have met Prince Andrew – couldn’t give a damn about anything other than money. He’ll mouth off in support of anyone who might help him get just a little bit more, but really should just be told to bog off!

On President Vladimir Putin:

“[He] should be running Europe… He should be in Brussels running Europe… We should get rid of Brussels and he should just be in charge.”

“Honestly, I think the guy who be running Europe, impressed me more than anything, is Mr Putin because he’s a guy that says he’s going to do something and does it… [He’s] a first-class person.”

“He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do… He wants to put Russia back to what it was.”

“I was with [Putin] after the [2014 Sochi Winter] Olympics on the top of the bloody mountain… We had a meeting, just the two of us, and we came out and we were walking along and people were coming up to him asking for an autograph… That’s what people think of him.”

“If someone had a machine gun and was prepared to shoot Putin, I would stand in front of him because he’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people.”

On President Putin’s intolerance to gay people in Russia:

“When I was at school, if you did something wrong, the teacher used to say: ‘Go and get the punishment book and the cane. Go to your headmistress and get a few whacks or something.’ That’s what he does.”

Asked on another occasion on Good Morning Britain about Putin after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

“I’d still take a bullet for him… Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.”

On President Donald Trump:

“I think he’d be fantastic [as President of the United States of America]. I’m sure he’s much more flexible than most of them. If he’s made a mistake, he’s more likely to say: ‘It was a good idea at the time.’”

“He has done a lot of good things for the world.”

On Adolf Hitler:

“Apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done… He wasn’t a dictator.”

On democracy:

“I am not a supporter of democracy. You need a dictator. As a dictator, you say: ‘This what I am going to do.’ In a democracy, it gets watered down.”

On Jewish people:

“They have a lot of influence everywhere.”

On black people:

“In a lot of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are.”

Of democracy in the United Kingdom:

“If you have a look at a democracy it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries – including this one.”

Of his crackpot suggestion that the now late Max Mosley, son of the late Fascist Oswald Mosley, might have been Prime Minister of Great Britain:

“[He would have done] a super job… I don’t think his background would [have been] a problem.”

On Brexit:

“I’m 100% an outer.”

On his wealth:

“I’ve got enough I can do with my money.”

On following the rules:

“I never stopped breaking the rules.”

Asked if immigrants had made a contribution to the UK:

“They have not.”

On who is worth speaking to:

“Anyone who doesn’t speak English isn’t worth speaking to… I’d rather get to the 70-year-old guy who has a lot of cash.”

On journalists:

“I can’t remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.”

Asked if he’d consider publishing an autobiography:

“The morning after I die. And the first 12 copies will go to the Inland Revenue.”

Asked about whether he’d be talking about his criminal conviction and suspended sentence of 17 months:

“No. Bloody lawyers.”

On social media:

“I think the change that is currently taking place is very short-lived, as these social media people are starting to think it is not as good as they thought.”

On waiters and prostitutes:

“Waiters are like hookers, never around when you want them.”

On women:

“You know, I’ve got one of those wonderful ideas… Women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.”

“What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish.”

To Richard Madeley about his decision to refuse to change his latest child’s nappies:

“That’s what wives are for.”

On women participating in Formula 1:

“I don’t know whether a woman would physically be able to drive an F1 car quickly, and they wouldn’t be taken seriously.”

On Lewis Hamilton:

“I don’t find him particularly engaging… He’s not particularly you would say black.”

On the corrupt criminal and disgraced banker Gerhard Gribkowsky:

“Dear old Gribkowsky… I don’t blame him because I would have probably done the same if I could have done it. He found the weak spot, found some leverage and used it. You can’t blame somebody for doing that.”

On the individuals who kidnapped his mother-in-law:

“If I get upset, how could it help?”

On his business career and his family’s Bambino Holdings offshore trust:

“I’ve got the highest position there is. So high that when I look down, I can’t see anything.”

“Maybe the most serious thing I regret was giving my shares to my ex [Slavica Radić], because when she them all in a trust for her and the kids, I lost control.”

 

Matthew Steeples highlights the stories he’s been following during the ‘silly season’ summer of 2023 – amongst them matters Ghislaine Maxwell and Rudy Giuliani and podcasts about ‘true crime’ as a genre

After a hiatus for the summer “silly season,” The Steeple Times is back and in the period of absence I share that I’ve begun a nightly YouTube channel. It has already attracted over 173,000 views, over 30,000 hours of watch time and over 3,700 subscribers in less than 15 days and I thank the wonderful people of The Magnet, Broadstairs for receiving the delightful packages sent to me of gin, books and even colourful socks that have come in from places as far flung as the Isle of Man and Australia. All have been greatly appreciated and the spirit in which they were sent is most humbling.

 

In the month, I’ve met viewers who’ve not only come from London and Essex, but also as far away as Zimbabwe and I also wish to thank friends who’ve joined in with the show for their generosity and participation with everything from quizzes to story ideas.

 

I begin today with a round-up of stories of the moment that I’ve missed covering and my thoughts about them.

 

‘Mucky Madam’ Maxwell conveniently turns to Judaism

Of his definitely dodgy and devilishly degenerate sprog Ghislaine, Robert Maxwell once opined: “I have a beautiful daughter and she’s just like me.” I have repeatedly suggested that the adjective “beautiful” ought to have been replaced with the noun “deviant.”

 

Last month came further proof of my reasoning for such with news that the in-the-clink sidekick of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has rather conveniently started “identifying” as Jewish. Now, as a result, this wicked woman is able to take advantage of special treatment for Jewish prisoners while incarcerated in federal prison.

 

Encouraged by “Lubavitch Rebbe following” group ‘Reaching Out’ – whose very name is a toxic platitude in its very self that I truly cannot bear – sexual predator monster Maxwell now gets the privilege “better, costlier food” and “more time off work,” according to The Sun’s Alex Diaz.

 

Grubby groper Maxwell – who disgracefully still refuses to accept her guilt and who has still to cough up the names of the powerful people she trafficked her victims to – Diaz reports gets “access to a Rabbi and is excused work for 25 hours from sundown on Fridays to observe the Sabbath. She can also take a break from prison chores on Jewish holidays… [and] is also eligible for the associated wine or grape juice and breaking of bread.”

 

What will the croaked pension pot plunderer’s party loving pimp of a daughter want next? Krug on tap and caviar also?

 

Not so sexy chat with ex-Mayor of New York – Where’s E.T. when you need him? £45,000 “phone home” bill for Rudy Giuliani

A once revered Mayor of York now turned an “unhinged” Donald Trump co-conspirator, Rudy Giuliani has been forced to place his ritzy Lenox Hill, New York co-op on the market for £5.1 million ($6.5 million) through “broker to the fallen stars” Serena Boardman of Sotheby’s International Realty.

 

According to The Guardian’s Martin Pengelley, Giuliani – who once dressed as a woman and had Trump nuzzling his ‘breasts’ – is supposedly selling his “place he went for respite” apartment, 10W at 45 East 66^th Street, “amid a cash crunch due to ongoing legal problems.” Situated in a 33 unit, 10-storey Gothic style “monumentally exuberant edifice” constructed in 1908, the “stately” 3-bedroom complete with a “cheerful eat-in-kitchen” was recently raided by the FBI and also includes a library where Giuliani “gobsmacked” his now ex-third wife, Judith, by filming a pro-Trump podcast.

 

A lawyer for disgraced Giuliani – who “stood for a police mugshot at a bug-ridden jail in Atlanta” last week – shared: “[He’s] close to broke… There’s a lot of bills he’s not paying. From a £45,000 [$57,000] phone bill to significantly more.” Frankly, one has to ask: “Does Giuliani have an addiction to sex chatlines?”

 

As has proven the case of sales in the Fifth Avenue building where the curious-verging-on-creepy Jeffrey Epstein associates Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva Andersson-Dubin reside, the “Giuliani factor” isn’t likely to help get this pricey pad offloaded. Of it, realtor Dolly Lenz remarked: “It was like, it’s ‘America’s mayor,’ he chose this building – all very good things ascribed to him living in the same building… [Now I] would suspect it would be wildly different.”

 

Podcast of the moment – Crime World’s Nicola Tallant on ‘true crime’ as a genre; “why are we all so obsessed with true crime as entertainment?”

I’m sure it has been said of this crusading columnist before, but I do think the Sunday World’s Nicola Tallant to be a truly talented and a truly tenacious journalist. I met her at the gathering of amateur sleuths that was CrimeCon in London in the summer of 2022 and subsequently recorded an episode with her about Ghislaine Maxwell also.

 

In a fascinating 51-minute podcast (episode 307 of her ‘Crime World’ series) titled: “Why are we all so obsessed with ‘true crime’ as entertainment?” Tallant chatted extensively about this subject with the author of The Real Lolita: The Kidnapping of Sally Horner and the Novel That Scandalized the World, Sarah Weinman.

 

Exploring the non-fiction literary, podcast and film genre made globally popular most recently by Netflix’s Making a Murderer, the pair asked probing questions such as: “What is true crime?” and “How has it become entertainment?” They focused on the obsession of ‘fans’ – whom they highlighted as mostly being female – with “stories with X-Factor” rather than journalistic credibility” and pointed out that the topics covered are “sensationalist” rather than “really important.”

 

Tallant observed that she’d prefer to see the true crime ‘community’ explore stories about young men joining gangs and being shot dead over a drug debt than the regurgitation of stories. I completely agree and think that the focus on the likes of Jeffrey Dahma and the Kray twins in ways that don’t even include deep delving should now reach the end of the road.

 

As regional media declines due to a lack of funding – with Radio 4 just yesterday pointing out that there are now just five companies controlling the majority of local newspapers in the UK – the gritty, real stories of everyday abuse and everyday crime is being ignored. It is being ignored at the peril of us all and it is now time, as Tallant concludes, that true crime coverage reverts to being a little more thoughtful.

 

Radio show of the moment – How to Build Impossible Things by Mark Ellison

Abridged into five concurrent episodes of 14 minutes length each for BBC Radio 4, this audiobook features the stories of Mark Ellison, a man lauded as “the best carpenter in New York.”

 

Aside from gossiping about his work for his teenage hero” David Bowie –someone he referenced as being terrified of being shot a manner akin to John Lennon – Ellison references incidents that include algae eating snails ending up boiled to stench inducing escargot in a penthouse pond he worked upon.

 

Cheekily humorous, this self-professed “serial dropout’s” enthusiasm for “puzzles in the building world” that he could tackle concludes: “What matters is the doing.” He is an inspiration and his “workshop of wonders” is most definitely one worth exploring.

After ratbag Michael Barrymore’s cringeworthily car-crash interview on ‘This Morning’ with dozy Josie Gibson, complaints are unsurprisingly made to Ofcom and in a Change.org petition; it is time for this outdated show simply to be cancelled

In the wake of disgraced entertainer Michael Barrymore’s cringeworthily car-crash-like ‘interview’ with bleached blonde bimbo Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle on This Morning last Thursday, complaints have been made to Ofcom and a Change.org petition has been established calling on ITV plc to scrap this frankly reprehensibly mismanaged show.

 

The 9:49-minute feature, which aired at a time when the majority of the viewing public would have been parents with young children and elderly folk, was frankly quite rightly described as nothing but a “car-crash” of epic proportions and it was an ‘interview’ that should actually have never been aired.

 

Our questions to This Morning’s head honcho Martin Frizell – whose presenter wife Fiona Phillips has been a “very good friend” of Michael Barrymore for at least 30 years – are:

 

• Why did you so irresponsibly place Michael Barrymore on air when he was clearly not in a fit state to be interviewed in the wake of the outrage over the way in which Kerry Katona was allowed on air in 2008 whilst suffering mental health issues?
• Why was Barrymore allowed to be placed before a viewing public looking so dishevelled and as if he’d slept on a park bench?
• Why did cackling hyena-like Josie Gibson and her drippy sidekick Craig Doyle not intervene when Barrymore slurred his words, failed to realise who he was talking to, etc.?
• Why, when Gok Wan intervened clearly realising the car crash disaster going on, was the segment not stopped?
• Why did Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle not ask any questions about what occurred when Stuart Lubbock was raped and murdered at the then home of Michael Barrymore on 31^st March 2001?
• Why was Craig Doyle also allowed on air when he had earlier admitted to being in a hungover state after a night out on a bender with a rugby team given he said he’d had to spend significant time in make-up?
• What is the current state of relations between your wife, Fiona Phillips, and her friend of 30 years plus and Michael Barrymore and why is Barrymore given the opportunity to appear on your programme so frequently in such a nepotistic fashion?
• Why, Mr Frizell, didn’t you as chief-of-the-municipality, not intervene yourself?

 

Responding on Instagram to Matthew Steeples’s discussions with Shaun Attwood on his channel during their growing in popularity ‘Royals & Rotters’ segment over the weekend, a lady named Dianne Rocks remarked:

 

“I firmly believe Barrymore is finished. There’s definitely no place for him anyone’s life, never mind on their 60-inch television… I’ve had the luxury of working in fine dining and luxury hospitality for 35 years and I’ve had the misfortune of being in the same hotel as Barrymore. He’s definitely up there with the ‘rotters’… and let’s just say, he’s a difficult guest.”

 

Given this disgraceful episode has come so soon in the wake of the Phillip Schofield and #queugate scandals, it is now time only for one thing. That thing? It is time for ITV to cancel the outdated programme completely irrelevant to the modern generation that is This Morning for once and for all.

The full text of our Change.org petition

“ITV1’s ‘This Morning’ aired an ‘interview’ (if the car crash of epic proportions presented could be called such) with the disgraced ‘entertainer’ Michael Barrymore – an oddity who has previously appeared on a television show dressed up as Hitler and in an episode where he worshiped at the feet of the now late paedophile Jimmy Savile – on Thursday 3rd August 2023 at 12 noon GMT.”

 

“Conducted by a toady bleach blonde named Josie Gibson and her sidekick a one-time rugby commentator called Craig Doyle (who announced earlier in the show that he’d had to be caked in makeup as he’d been out on a booze-a-thon the night before with a rugby club and had a bit of a hangover), the 9:49-minute interview (available to view on YouTube) was beyond shocking.”

 

“Barrymore – whose then bungalow home in Roydon, Essex was the scene of the brutal rape-murder of father-of-two Stuart Lubbock on 31st March 2001 during a drug fuelled party attended by a total of nine – appeared looking disheveled in a stained jumper. He slurred his words, did not seem to know quite who he was talking to and what he was talking about and came across as heavily medicated or having been out on a bender in the hours prior.”

 

“At one point, another presenter, Gok Wan, attempted to intervene to move on to a different segment, but a cackling like a hyena Gibson and the drippy Doyle continued. Here, one can surmise, was a nothing but a repeat of ‘This Morning’s’ condemned as ‘irresponsible’ 22^nd October 2008 Kerry Katona interview in which the since disgraced presenter Phillip Schofield made a fool and mocked a lady suffering with very visible mental health issues.”

 

“Gibson and Doyle and the production team of ‘This Morning’ – headed by Martin Frizell, a man called out for mocking the Schofield scandal by comparing it to his dislike for aubergies – ought to have known that Barrymore was unfit to be placed on air when he arrived at their studio. They ought to have intervened and never even placed him in the green room; they should never, ever have allowed him on air.”

 

“Aside from inflicting the substantial familial viewing audience (including children and elderly folk) with this scary spectacle of mentality, Gibson and Doyle also failed to use this ‘interview’ for public good. They did not ask one single question about what Barrymore knows – and he has stated he has knowledge he hasn’t previously shared in the past – of what occured the night Stuart Lubbock was raped and murdered at his then home. They did not ask him why he fled the scene of the rape and murder before the police arrived even. Instead, this useless pair of toerags banged on about how much their families loved Barrymore and encouraged him to spout frankly nonsensical drivel.”

 

“In the wake of Martin Frizell – a man whose presenter wife Fiona Phillips has most curiously been a longstanding close friend of Michael Barrymore – and his team being dragged before Dame Caroline Dinenage’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee for a grilling over the channel’s handling of matters sexual concerning Phillip Schofield, how on earth was this allowed to happen?”

 

“Formal complaints have been made to Ofcom concerning Gibson, Doyle, Barrymore, Frizell and ‘This Morning’ by a number of individuals, but it is now time that ITV acted and cancelled this toxic show for once and for all. ‘This Morning’ has had its day and it is now time that this ghastly show was replaced with something actually relevant to a contemporary viewing audience.”

 

The full text of Matthew Steeples’s complaint to Ofcom

“Yesterday, ITV1’s bosses failed to intervene when ‘This Morning’s’ dimwitted dunce-like ‘presenters’ Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle were ‘interviewing’ (if their actions could be deemed such given Gibson especially spent much of the 10-minute slot cackling like a hyena) the disgraced ‘entertainer’ Michael Barrymore.”

“Mr Barrymore was completely disheveled in his appearance and was wearing a stained jumper. He may have been on a bender and had clearly not been through the make-up department (earlier Doyle had banged on about how he’d needed so much makeup himself as he’d been on a boozy night with a rugby team the night prior).”

 

“He slurred his words and made utterly no sense in his answers to anything asked; as such, the slot should have been stopped.”

 

“In a situation similar to a previous ‘interview’ with a medicated and most definitely out-of-control Kerry Katona, here was an ‘interview’ subject who should not have been allowed on air in the first place as he was not in a fit state.”

 

“In addition, Gibson and Doyle found themselves interupted by another presenter, Gok Wan. Mr Wan, realising the car crash being presented to the viewing public, attempted to intervene to move the show on, but Gibson and Doyle shockingly failed to act.”

 

“The section of the show was utterly irresponsibly mismanaged and frankly producer Martin Frizell should be dragged before Dame Caroline Dinenage to explain yet another failure in the wake of the scandal relating to the equally disgraced Phillip Schofield. Have the ‘This Morning’ team not learned any lessons from that national scandal?”

 

“Going further, I would add – as someone who knows relations of Stuart Lubbock, the victim of a brutal rape-murder at the then home of Michael Barrymore in 2001 – I would also like to condemn Gibson, Doyle and Frizell’s team for not asking any questions to him about that. Asking about that might have made the choice to interview this cowardly individual on air actually relevant Instead, this pair of clowns simply ‘bigged-up’ this strange man and frankly presented to the public not just a comedy of errors, but also television trash that should never, ever have been aired.”

 

Justice for Stuart Lubbock – The people who need to man-up and tell the truth about what happened at Michael Barrymore’s home on 31^st March 2001…

Michael Parker (AKA Michael Barrymore) – Allegedly loudly said: “I need a f**k” in a taxi as he left the Millennium Nightclub to return to his home, the scene of the death of Stuart Lubbock. Barrymore later lied to a coroner’s court about facilitating drug taking at his house on the night in question also.

 

Barrymore claimed to have been first to have discovered the body of Stuart Lubbock at 5.45am, called his manager Mike Brown before the ambulance arrived and then left the premises. He admits that was “wrong” and also bizarrely told Piers Morgan that in spite of “knowing others were hiding secrets about what happened to Mr. Lubbock” that “I am not going to say their names. I just hope they are brave enough to come forward one day.”

 

Mike Brown – Agent of Michael Barrymore. Called to the property before emergency services arrived.

 

Kelly Campbell – Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened.

 

James Futters (sometimes spelt ‘Futers’) – A paper boy turned chef. Described as “a local from the village” and a “friend and neighbour of Barrymore.” Claimed to have been the first to discover the body with Simon Shaw and stated: “[It was not] Michael Barrymore and not Jonathan Kenney [who found him].” Later, of him the Evening Standard reported: “Barrymore offered James Futters a white powder on his finger saying: ‘Do you want to try this?’ Mr Futters told the inquest that he leaned forward and licked the powder.”

 

Claire Jones – Then aged 17. Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened but told the police that she “saw Barrymore rummaging through drawers and changing his clothes before police arrived. When he left the house, he had a ‘bundle of material’ under his arm,” according to the Evening Standard. “She added: ‘Jonathan (Kenney) was rushing through the bungalow before the ambulance and police arrived. I got the impression he was hiding something.’”

 

Jonathan Kenney – Estate agent, drag queen and Michael Barrymore’s then lover; later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged; known for having a “record of violence.” Claimed to have been the first to have discovered the body and is now aged 50.

 

Justin Merritt – A dustman from Essex. Later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged. Later paid £30,000 by the News of the World for an interview in which he stated Barrymore had “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died.”

 

Kylie Merritt – Sister of Justin Merritt. She also alleged Barrymore “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died” (curiously in the wake of her brother selling his account of the night).

 

Simon Shaw – Described as “a local from the village.” Michael Barrymore supposedly “ran off” to Mr. Shaw’s house to “buy himself thinking time [for two hours] before he was questioned by the police [at 7.49am].”

 

In addition, others, who’ve never been identified could also have possibly been present. If they were, they should come forward or be named by those listed above.

 

As self-professed “homophobic arsehole” Jim Davidson again trends on Twitter, isn’t it time that this pugnacious pillock and apologist for the monster-paedophile Gary Glitter just finally be put out to pasture?

In March, we featured a story about the bigoted ‘comedian’ Jim Davidson after he described Gary Lineker as “smug” and “smugger.”

 

At the time, chatting with the since accused of all sorts of abuses-of-his position former The Sun and Daily Mail columnist Dan Wootton, Davidson raged of the BBC: “You know, it is a joke and we have to pay for it whether we like it or not. You know, let’s scrap it and watch GB News all day long.”

 

Trending again this morning on Twitter after yet another split screen with the nasty-piece-of-work Wootton, alleged wife beater Davidson – a menace-not-a-man whom made ‘pleasant’ remarks about the sickening monster-paedophile Gary Glitter in June 2021 – this time has been banging on about how he has “had enough of this woke and cancel culture.”

 

Contradicting himself, this braindead bozo then announced he wanted Costa Coffee cancelled and claimed they were facing a “Bud Light moment” for placing a trans supporting mural on their vans. Though Davidson is known not exactly for logic in his thought processes, wouldn’t it now be time that this pugnacious pensioner to simply be put out to pasture?

Is it right to excuse Jim Davidson for saying “I spoke to Paul Gadd [the evil paedophile Gary Glitter] when I visited The Verne [prison] 2 years ago. He’s remorseful and he looked ready to start a new life” in June 2021? #JimDavidson #GaryGlitter #paedophile #disgrace #evil #vile

— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) August 3, 2023

Deserved “Public Hate Figure” Jim Davidson OBE’s Worst Moments…

On Gary Glitter:

“I spoke to Paul Gadd [Gary Glitter] when I visited The Verne [prison] two years ago. He’s remorseful and he looked ready to start a new life.”

 

On Great Yarmouth:

“Full of fat children of all colours.”

 

On the equally pompous self-promoter Stephen Fry:

“I really want Stephen Fry to like me.”

 

On London and the UK:

“I am never coming to London again… I may as well go to Dubai and be an ethnic minority there than wait five years till I become one here.”

 

On the UK in general:

“I have just walked two miles through Southampton to get a train. I saw three white people. Two of those was [sic] an overweight hobby Bobby copper and a female version arresting two 11-year-old kids with pushbikes. It was as if I was in a foreign country. But I would say that, I am a racist obviously… Country is f*cked. Roll on death… Innit.”

 

On former UKIP leader Nigel Farage:

“The Jim Davidson of the political world.”

 

Of his five marriages to date:

“I would have been happily married forever if I hadn’t been famous.”

 

On beating up one of his four ex-wives:

“We’re like a couple of boxers. On the first occasion, I poked her in the eye by accident. I actually went for the mouth… The second time I gave her a shiner. I threw a bunch of keys which whacked her in the eye. Just for a giggle she kept blackening it up to make it look worse.”

 

“I took the wife out last night; one punch!”

 

“I’m still friends with wives one, two and four but wife number three was the one who accused me of being a wife beater.”

 

On cutting his son by his second wife, Cameron, out of his life:

“I was going through so much hurt after the split I actually chose not to see him, to punish Julie [Gullick]. ‘Bugger it,’ I thought. ‘Get rid of me and you lose your son’s father.’ This is something I do. I always cut off my nose to spite my face. ‘I haven’t got a child now.’ I thought: ‘I’ll see him later.’”

 

Of his current wife Michelle Cotton:

“She is a very nice person. She’s impatient, she’s fiery like me. She’s a bear-poker and her mum says: ‘Well you need that.’”

 

“I hope I’m with Michelle for the rest of my life, there’s no one better I’d want to spend the rest of my life with. Liz Hurley, perhaps?”

 

On supposedly giving up on making jokes about black people:

“I can’t do impressions of Frank Bruno or Ian Wright? That’s racist, is it? But I can do Sven-Göran Eriksson?”

 

“I’m not going to get on my knee, and I’m not going to go ever black person I see, ‘hail you.’ I’m not going to apologise for the past; the past was the past.”

 

On Black Lives Matter protestors:

“Pondlife… F**king stupid.”

 

Of his thoughts about his chum Boris Johnson:

“Don’t listen with mother.”

 

On Piers Morgan (after he was paid to appear on his Life Stories programme):

“You don’t deserve to listen to anyone’s life story because you don’t f**king listen.”

 

On the BBC and the NHS:

“I was a smell under peoples’ noses… I’m totally erased; I am the statue that’s thrown into Bristol Docks… They gave me a million quid to go away.”

 

“I hate the BBC with a passion. It’s a toss-up between them and the NHS who I hate the most.”

 

Proving himself the ultimate ‘Brain of Britain’:

“People who do stupid things with hazardous materials often die.”

 

After being declared bankrupt:

“My problem is money.”

 

On wasting his ‘fortune’:

“It’s how much money I’ve spent over the years. Getting on to £50 million, £60 million must have passed through my hands.”

 

On himself:

“I could cure Aids and give £1 billion to womens’ groups and people would still think I was a racist, sexist twat”.

 

“I’m a homophobic arsehole.”

 

As dastardly deadbeat Dan Wootton makes a pillock of himself yet again, Matthew Steeples reminds of his vicious spitefulness to the utterly delightful international sensations Susan Boyle and Johnny Depp

Susan Boyle personifies everything that the fictional Hyacinth Bucket of the sadly disgracefully ‘cancelled’ BBC series Keeping Up Appearances would have aspired to be. Hyacinth may have loved to ‘trill’ to her admittedly petrified local vicar, but Susan delighted a nation (and even him of the very high ‘troosers’ Simon Cowell) with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream back in April 2009. She is unsurprisingly an international treasure and loved by old and young throughout Britain and beyond.

 

Though both came from humble backgrounds and were raised on council estates, Hyacinth aspired and believed she was destined for grander things. Hyacinth truly wanted a Mercedes and a pony paddock like her sister Violet, yet when modest-to-her-core Susan bought what she termed a “posh house,” she decided only to use it for rehearsing. This down-to-earth delight instead decided she’d rather be back in the humble familial home where she grew up with her eight siblings.

 

Both active volunteers in their local churches and both passionate nationalists, here are two ladies of stature that the world came to love and here today I remind of a rat-not-a-man who had the audacity to be malicious about the undoubtedly more famous of the two. That rotten rat? His name is Dan Wootton.

 

Wootton is someone who has been doing the rounds on social media in recent days as it seems there’s a bit of a whiff about him. An openly gay journalist who has second chances galore at everywhere from the Mail to The Sun and someone forced to harbour currently at the Titanic vessel-like GB News, this New Zealander once had the audacity to call the completely harmless Miss Boyle “volatile.” If that was not bad enough, this tepid toerag added: “[She’s] forced to shop at Tesco and travel by bus.”

 

A kind of kookier-than-kooky combo of both the leftie loon Chavs author Owen Jones and the appropriately named grimmer than grim right-wing rang Darren Grimes, Wootton firstly got it wrong when he described a lady diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in this way. In doing so, he simply illustrated that he’s nothing but the kind of nasty stain on humanity that one wouldn’t want on their cheapest of penny loafers, but also got it wrong when he had a pop at ordinary, decent folk who perfectly reasonably find themselves shopping at Tesco and ordinary, decent folk who cannot afford to travel in luscious limousines.

 

Far from being a high roller in a fat Phantom himself, this cretinous creep went further in slamming the legendary actor Johnny Depp as a “wife beater.” That didn’t go so well for him, but in their revelations this week Byline Times pulled a blinder when they “unmasked” this pointless prattler – whose other identities allegedly include “Martin Branning” (a combo of the names of two EastEnders character’s names supposedly) – as allegedly being involved in what they termed a “cash-for-sexual-catfishing scandal.” ‘Lady of the house speaking’ Hyacinth and sensational songstress Susan certainly wouldn’t be having any of that in their orbit. No candlelit suppers for Dan Wootton anytime soon.

Delusional Dan Wootton’s not-so ‘finest’ moments

On Dominic Cummings (who’d probably have preferred even Katie Hopkins as a defender) – “Make no mistake, the establishment is out to get Dominic Cummings… I despair.”

 

On footballer David Beckham and his singer turned fashion designer wife Victoria (whose fans responded with fury) – “Weird and creepy.”

 

On singer George Shelley (whose unsurprisingly fans got equally upset) – “[He’s] done a Tom Daley and come out as bisexual.”

 

On singer Susan Boyle (whose management hit back with denial) – “Volatile… Forced to shop Tesco and travel by bus.”

 

On political activist and Novara Media editor Ash Sarkar (before he “shut her down” during a “fiery conversation”) – “Grasping.”

 

On Celebrity Masterchef winner Emma Kennedy (who reported him to Ofcom and threated to sue him with the help of Carter Ruck) –“Deranged Boris hater.”

 

On actor Johnny Depp (who sued him for defamation) – “Wife beater.”

 

As tedious toerag twerp Kevin Spacey heads to court in London accused of sexual abuse, Matthew Steeples reminds what a tedious toerag twerp this talented actor yet tainted twazzock truly is

Whilst undoubtedly talented as an actor Kevin Spacey is, he is also someone a strawberry short of an allotment. Capable of maliciously manipulating and mendaciously marauding, this rotten piece of toerag’s trial began this morning at Southwark Crown Court in London and with it comes reminder of what a rotten piece of toerag this tedious twerp truly, actually really truly is.

 

Somewhat seedy Spacey – someone I’ve only ever thankfully met on one occasion from which I swiftly escaped – is a meddling menace who once attempted to cancel a distinguished and far better than him actor whom I consider a dear friend. He is part of that nasty little group that I term ‘The Club’ that includes the likes of Naomi Campbell, Liz Hurley, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Lebedev of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation and Janet Street-Porter CBE, but what he should really be better remembered for are his far darker and even more deviant connections.

 

Snapped partying at the palace whilst playing court fool on a throne with the since jailed noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell in 2002, it must be remembered also present that night at the invite of him whom paid £12 million to a woman he claims to have never met Prince Andrew also had some other ‘curious-to-creepy’ sorts present. “Who were these scumbags?” you may ask; those others at ‘Buck House’ included confirmed liar about what ‘blowed’ under a rather famous desk President Bill Clinton and the thankfully croaked lying, Ponzi scheming padeophile Jeffrey Epstein.

 

When not living-it-large with ratbags of that order, Kevin Spacey has also been known to hang around with a man many call the world’s worst war criminal Tony Blair and he who pays for ‘Walmart Wallis’ and her drip of a husband to fly around by private jet, Sir Elton John and his titleless hubby David ‘Furnitures-less’ Furnish. They all, frankly, deserve one another.

 

Kevin Spacey, innocent or guilty, faces four weeks in court and, if found guilty at the same court that saw Max Clifford and Rolf Harris sent down, a very lengthy sentence.

 

The American actor has already whined that his famous face friends dare not speak up in court for fear of being cancelled. I today confirm that the real ‘famous face’ that he dared to try ‘cancel’ himself will definitely be amongst those to quite rightly call this cretinous creep out as the bombastic, brattish bore whom he truly is.
