As Dame Cressida Dick gets ditched, Matthew Steeples suggests now is not the time to replace one Dick with another
Metropolitan Police commisoner Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM thought she was the Teflon Don. It turns out she was more like a leftover from a Tupperware party and now this incompetent woman whose total lacking of understanding that leadership must always start and stop at the top of any organisation has quite rightly been turfed out with the Tupperware party trash.
Forced out admittedly far too late by the frankly equally inept Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan – whom should have acted at the very latest during the shameful episode when officers mistreated ladies at a vigil for the murdered-by-a-cop victim Sarah Everard on Clapham Common in March 2021 – ‘Clinger-on Cressida’ was remembered this morning on Radio 4’s Today programme as a commissioner who “stopped listening to the public” and someone “who loved her officers too much and was always overly defensive against any form of external criticism.”
Though lauded as “impressive with management” by some, this University of Oxford educated daughter of two University of Oxford academics was actually out of her depth, a piss-poor communicator and totally lacking in clarity and direction. Here was a woman who simply did nothing when faced with repeated evidence that she ran a police force that was rotten at its core and dominated by misogynistic, racist, sexist bigots.
Dame Cressida, it must be recalled also, was herself “absolutely outraged” by the BBC Line of Duty series. Now, she like the corrupt officers in the most watched drama on British television in 13 years has been finally exposed and named and shamed and now it is time for the Met Police to do the right thing: Appoint a replacement with integrity and the ability to shakeup this deservedly disgraced law enforcement body. It is time for real change and it is most certainly time for one Dick not to be replaced with another.
Amusingly last night, the parody Twitter account created in hour of Ken Clarke Twitter remarked: “One dick down, one to go.” Unsurprisingly this missive has already been liked over 14,000 times and retweeted 2,000 times.
In January, guerilla operation-style campaigners Led By Donkeys brilliantly summed up Dame Cressida’s rotten regime perfectly in a 26-second mockup shared on Twitter. In it, they spoofed ‘Line of Duty’s’ Superintendent Hastings asking the now former Metropolitan Police commissioner: “Who exactly does the Metropolitan Police work for, Ma’am? Our citizens or Boris Johnson?”

Matthew Steeples suggests the Duke and Duchess of York should finally accept that when they gave up on responsibilities, they gave up their rights to privileges also; they do not deserve UK police protection
Prince Harry supposedly thinks it is “too dangerous [for him and his family to visit the UK.” If this is genuinely the case and not just another example of him and his meddling sidekick getting carried away with their soppy selves, instead of taking the British government and effectively the monarch and his very own grandmother also to court, why doesn’t he just not bother coming back to these shores at all?
Clearly the attention seeking Duke and Duchess of Sussex – exactly like the prince’s randy rotter uncle, the Duke of York and his loopy live-in ex-wife – have utterly no understanding of what the vast majority of the public actually think of private profiteers who want to also live off the public purse. Going further, as former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe, in bang-on-the-nail fashion, pointed out yesterday: “Why can’t Harry understand that giving up his royal role means losing his privileges?”
Writing for the Daily Mail, Wharfe – a man whose expertise in this field is second to none – argued: “Police protection should not be for sale. Prince Harry has an outrageous cheek, demanding a full royal security detail to be reinstated when he visits the UK.”
“For the Queen and her government to accede to his demand and set this precedent is unthinkable.”
“Harry is now a private citizen, domiciled in a foreign country – entirely by his own choice. None of the royals wanted this to happen, least of all his father and brother, but it has.”
“If he is granted the services of the Metropolitan’s royal protection squad, for which he has magnanimously offered to pay, every visiting Hollywood star and wealthy celebrity may as well expect the same privileges.”
“Britain would face the humiliating prospect of hiring out our highly trained and armed officers to any reality television narcissist or tinpot dictator’s children who can foot the bill.”
Wharfe is spot on and going further, just like with Edward VIII before him, this prince can’t have his cake and eat it too. An apt proverb that needs banging into the skull of the dopier half of the demanding duo that is ‘Ginge and Cringe,’ here is a “privacy” seeking couple whose own lawyer, Jenny Afia, has ludicrously stated:
“Of course, then they challenged [the situation that resulted in them moving to America to seek “privacy”] because that’s in line with their values but that doesn’t mean just because you assert your human rights that you then become some kind of Trappist monk and take a vow of silence and you’re not allowed to discuss anything.”
Aside from wanting “privacy” yet graspingly signing deals with Netflix, Spotify and Oprah Winfrey amongst others for hundreds of millions of dollars in itself being utterly contradictory, the money and fame hungry duke and duchess must be reminded that if you give up responsibilities, as they did two years ago, you also give up your rights and privileges.
Prince Harry is no longer any form of representative of Great Britain and his wife frankly never wanted to be. This couple, like Mrs Simpson and her spouse before them, need to be told that they would be best to put up, shut up, belt up and wrap up and accept exile in La-la land.
Paraphrasing words used once by Jeremy Clarkson of his on-off friend-foe Piers Morgan: “Americans. It took us 35 years to get rid of Prince Harry. Please don’t send him back.”
Whilst The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have behaved with impeccable dignity and accepted their responsibilities, attention seeking Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle seem more interested in fame and private profit than the supposed “privacy” they claimed to move to America in search of.At the funeral of his grandfather last year, the Duke of Sussex – along with his uncle, the Duke of York – were, like the rest of their family, quite rightly given police protection. On this occasion, there would have been a clear risk of an attack upon them, but given these two demanding twerps have brought disgrace on their relatives in the time since, they no longer deserve any more of such courtesy of the public purse.In December 2012, Jeremy Clarkson tweeted begging America to keep Piers Morgan. In January 2022, the British public most definitely would be glad if they would now please keep the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Matthew Steeples assesses Jekyll and Hyde-like Ghislaine Maxwell’s character just as her moment of destiny in court looks likely to arrive within 24 hours
Ghislaine Maxwell’s life to date has undoubtedly been like a curate’s egg; a tale of two halves, partly very, very good and partly very, very bad. In fact, in analysis, one could most definitely sum her up as a modern-day Jekyll and Hyde crossed with a modern-day Cruella de Vil.
Born into a world of undoubted privilege and wealth and given access to the finest education possible, here is a 59-year-old woman whose skill set was honed from an early age. Without doubt socially able and considered the ultimate example of a connector, Maxwell has been lauded by her friends, family and supporters as charming, capable and caring. She certainly, on the surface, until 2019 appeared as someone who had gotten it all back in spite of her pension pot plundering, murderer father’s demise in 1992.
Seen last in London at a ritzy party for the Cash & Rocket car rally at Bibendum on 6th June 2019 – which beyond ironically sought to help “women in need” and whose organiser Julie Brangstrup failed to vet the alleged mucky madam’s entry in spite of the fact that she’d already been served with a sworn affidavit concerning underage female trafficking in April 2019 – with spoilt heiresses including Chloe Green, Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury, Maxwell attempted a business career with such things as her Kit Kat Club in the 1980s, but later sought stature through campaigning and founding non-profits in the 2000s.
Maxwell’s superficial appearance and friendships with power and privilege, however, hid a monstrous and murky world. Whatever the outcome of her trial, it is clear that here is a woman who became anorexic at the age of three and was abused by her father and here is a woman who replaced that particular wicked monster with another wicked monster and abuser in the form of Jeffrey Epstein; here, indeed, is a warped woman completely lacking in a moral compass.
Plainly devoted to the opaquely funded taxi driver turned teacher turned financier, it is apparent from the evidence shown in Judge Alison Nathan’s court that Ghislaine Maxwell pandered to the now croaked paedophile’s every whim, but was he perhaps not also pandering to hers? The Palm Beach house manual presented as evidence is testimony to that and the multitude of photographs of the pair embracing speak volumes as to this being a union of equals.
Now, as we await a likely jury verdict within 24 hours, I’d suggest that the most important analysis in this case will be who was the master and manipulator and who was the functionary in this rotten relationship; follow the money and then you’ll get to the truly terrible truth about this nefarious narcissist. It will beyond sicken even the strongest of stomachs.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s life has undoubtedly, for the main, been one of privilege. Pictured here with actor Kevin Spacey, a man accused of multiple allegations sexual harassment and assault by young men, at Buckingham Palace, here is a self-entitled woman whose friends have included Prince Andrew, Presidents Clinton and Trump and Lady Victoria Hervey.‘Cap’n Bob’s’ favourite daughter has always been into parties. Lauded as a “socialite” rather than as a “sordid sex trafficker” for most of her life thus far, the alleged mucky madam was pictured at notoriously nasty Naomi Campbell’s 2001 birthday party on the French Riviera with the likes of Flavio Briatore in 2001. The now 59-year-old is circled far right whilst Virginia Roberts Giuffre – who has already received a financial settlement of sum unknown from both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – is also circled (centre, front).They say you are defined by your choice of friends and this image of the deviant daughter of a pension pot plundering crook says it all. Jean-Luc Brunel is currently also incarcerated and awaiting trial. He stands accused of partaking in the sex trafficking ring run by Jeffrey Epstein, criminal conspiracy, human trafficking and the rape of minors by French prosecutors.Miss Maxwell and her chum and co-driver Nettie Mason, wife of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, apparently raised nothing for charity during the Cash & Rocket 2019 shindig they participated in alongside Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury. In March 2021, ‘The Steeple Times’ asked organiser Julie Brangstrup: “Why, given you campaign against female trafficking, did Cash & Rocket allow Ghislaine Maxwell, a woman served with a sworn affidavit concerning underage female trafficking in April 2019, to participate in your June 2019 rally?” We again repeat that request to Ms Brangstrup today and again suggest that Maxwell’s ‘charity work’ was simply smoke-and-mirrors to hide her deviant desires.‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter married Scott Borgerson in 2016 after he’d concluded divorce negotiations in which he’d been called out as violent and abusive. Curiously, Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover’s family knew nothing of this union until their sibling appeared in court following her arrest at Tuckedaway on 2nd July 2020. Mr Borgerson, 46, tellingly, has not attended his wife’s trial on a single occasion to date and has been spotted living-it-up with a “yoga enthusiast” who reportedly “has an ass that could crack open a walnut” named Kris McGinn. So much for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, it seems.Whilst Mr Borgerson has not even bothered to show-up to support his wife in court in spite of her claims of having been tortured in prison, her siblings “linked arms” and put on a united front on Monday as the jury were sent out. That they already claim that, if she is found guilty, their sister will straight away seek to appeal the judgement is indicative of their lack of confidence in getting the result they so desire.
Interview between Matthew Steeples and Shaun Attwood about Ghislaine Maxwell’s likely fate goes live just as John Sweeney and Kirby Sommers reference what she allegedly suffered as a child at the hands of her truly wicked father; did that turn her from abuse victim to abuser?
Premiered on YouTube on Friday, an interview – filmed in September at CrimeCon 2021 – between True Crime Channel host Shaun Attwood and Matthew Steeples of The Steeple Times about possible outcomes in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial has already attracted nearly 11,000 views as well as over 124 comments.
Monster No. One – Abuse Victim To Abuser – Robert Maxwell was known to treat his own wife, Betty, and their children with utter disdain and to have made their lives – though apparently on the surface gilded – hellish. He was a bully and a braggart and evil to his core. Whether the tyrannical tycoon abused his very own “favourite” daughter remains open to speculation, but his ‘friend’ Eleanor Berry is amongst those very clearly who’ve hinted at such.Monster No. Two – Abuse Victim To Abuser – After her depraved daddy’s death, the alleged mucky madam so desired maintaining her life of luxury that she turned to two equally, perhaps far worse, monstrous men – the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his equally dodgy associate, the alleged rapist Jean Luc Brunel.
Whilst events have somewhat overtaken some of what was discussed back then in September, we urge readers to watch this footage. Today, also we suggest watching an interview on CNN with journalist and Hunting Ghislaine podcast host John Sweeney that aired yesterday. It echoes Steeples’ previous comments about Miss Maxwell having allegedly been abused as a child by her pension pot plundering father.
Ghislaine Maxwell's brother Ian says that she has been scapegoated. @CNN asked me what was my response: that that was nonsense, part of a dark fairy story.
In this particular feature, Sweeney responded to Ian Maxwell’s claims that his sister had been “scapegoated” and remarked:
“My view is that this is a dark fairy story and that there is no way that a young 14-year-old girl would get into a car with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, but if the person enticing her in talks like Mary Poppins, is nice, pleasant and a woman – a beautiful woman – then you may well get in the car. And that, that was Ghislaine’s place in what I like to call, I’m afraid to say, Jeffrey Epstein’s fresh child factory.”
“It was, it was industrial. The number of girls, the evidence is compelling and damning. So, the idea that Ghislaine is just some kind of scapegoat, that seems to be complete nonsense to me.”
“This is a kind of tragedy. Ian Maxwell, her older brother, has said that Jeffrey Epstein has ‘ruined’ Ghislaine and I think the evidence is compelling that her life was ruined long before she ever met Epstein. Her life was ruined by her father.”
“There is a mountain of evidence that Robert Maxwell was a horrible, abusive man; abusive to virtually everybody he came into contact with. His staff, the newspaper journalists who worked for him, people I know, friends of mine and his family and in particular, his youngest daughter, the one he loved the most, the one he called his yacht after.”
Going further, but without naming Eleanor Berry – whom referenced in her rambling 2019 tome My Unique Relationship With Robert Maxwell: The Truth At Last! a then 9-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell telling her about a “prearranged hiding” by her father with the comments: “Daddy has a series of things lined up in a row. There’s a riding crop with a swish to it, another straight riding crop and a few shoehorns. He always asks me to choose which one I want” – Sweeney shared of the alleged mucky madam:
“There is some evidence that there was some kind of sexual relationship between father and daughter. Now, this is disputed in the evidence by no means clear. The source is somebody who has had a history of psychiatric ill health.”
“However, there are people in Britain who believe this woman to be telling the truth, so there is the possibility that the reason Ghislaine couldn’t see what she was doing was very, very wrong to these young women, to these 14, 15, 16-year-old girls was because she didn’t realise herself that this was wrong because she’d been through it herself. Now, it’s not clear, but there is some evidence of that.”
“There is no question whatsoever that Robert Maxwell was a horrible, abusive man. Towards the end of his life, his personal hygiene was disgusting. All these stories, stories of abuse and so forth. So, there is, take the sex stuff aside, there is absolutely no question that Ghislaine was horribly psychologically abused by her father.”
“He died, the first monster in her life died and then she flew to New York and found a second monster, Jeffrey Epstein.”
“What happened when her father died, there was a massive disgrace and he lost. She lost access to the fancy cars and the limousines and the helicopters and the lovely dinner parties with people like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump and Andrew Windsor – also known to some as Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. I just call him Andrew Windsor.”
“All she then had to do for [Epstein] was provide fresh children and that’s what she did.”
Previously, on Hunting Ghislaine, Sweeney went further of this dark to darker transition and stated:
“After the monster her father died, she found a second monster. Robert Maxwell stole hundreds of millions of pounds from people who were dependent upon his good word; Jeffrey Epstein turned out to be a darker figure, a worse human being.”
Elsewhere on Saturday, an interview with crusading author of Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized BiographyKirby Sommers premiered on the Profiling Evil podcast on YouTube.
In the 42:17-minute feature, Sommers tellingly remarked:
“[The first person to preorder my book] was her sister… When I started to write, I discovered that there were a lot of things about her life that the mainstream media had omitted.”
“There are sort of echoes between Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine… I do have a chapter that a lot of people are interested in. It tells of Ghislaine at the age of nine and tells that she is going to be receiving a beating from her father later in the afternoon.”
“She is playing around by the tennis court, listening to music or something on the radio and Robert Maxwell has an office within this 53-room mansion. He’s got an office for Pergamon Press on the property. He’s walking towards her with Eleanor Berry – whom was probably let’s say 10 years old than Ghislaine” at the time – so maybe she was 19 or a little bit older.”
“Maxwell becomes a little irate because he had given her a pony for her birthday and she’d allowed the pony to wander off and the pony had done his business and he was very, very angry with her.”
“So, she knows she’s going to get a beating and Robert Maxwell storms into his office and Eleanor Berry goes on to chat with 9-year-old Ghislaine and Ghislaine is just ‘ho, hum, ho, hum, he’s going to hit me and Eleanor Berry says: ‘That’s really interesting and what tends to happen?’
“Ghislaine gets up off the ground and she leads Eleanor into the house and into this room and she shows her a table and on the table are all kinds of things. There’s like a brush and a paddle and a whip. It goes on and on, there are all sorts of things that she can later choose. He allows her to choose, obviously, what he is going to beat her with.”
“Eleanor is asking her: ‘What are you going to select?’ and Ghislaine tells her that she’s going to select the paddle because it doesn’t really hurt that much, but her friend, who is a lot older than her and in fact has a crush on Robert Maxwell says: ‘Well, I would select this.’”
“The whole thing is just a very bizarre episode, not only because here is an older woman talking to this 9-year-old child about her own sexual fantasies that she has about her father, but by this point it didn’t matter to Ghislaine that she was going to have a beating by her father.”
“Later on, as she grows up, we now know it now through the victims allegedly… That Ghislaine was into say that world, that sadomasochistic world. She would treat her ‘sex slaves’ and I have to call them that because that’s how they refer to themselves with cruelty.”
“This is something else she got from her father: She got the ability to turn on the charm, but to be cruel when needed. In her case, because she was a female, she learnt early on to turn on the charm for men and she was always very cruel to women – which she still is, she still is.”

Outside the court where the case against Miss Maxwell is being held last week, several members of the public sported hats stating: “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself.” Conspiracy theorists continue to suggest that the same fate could meet ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter (a woman whom is the only member of the Maxwell family to have repeatedly claimed her father was murdered on his yacht), but this potentially sticky end for Prince Andrew’s ‘bestie’ seems highly improbable.
Matthew Steeples suggests Boris Johnson needs to stop clowning around and tell the truth about his strategy to fight COVID-19 and Omicron this winter
Last December, the Prime Minister lied to us. Nothing new there, but in promising we’d have Christmas free of restrictions and then taking it away, he plunged the nation into misery and the economy further into the red.
Now, whilst The Sun this morning pinned the blame for the Omicron crisis on “doctor doom” Dr Jenny Harries and went as far as to call her the “grinch… determined to kill the festive spirit” and a woman who “reeks of over-compensating,” I’d go one further. Today, I remind readers that ultimately it is the captain whom should take responsibility for his clearly sinking ship.
Sadly for our poor (and getting poorer) nation, however, we’re stuck on a rudderless ship captained by the buffoon that is Boris Johnson and sadly we don’t even have any kind of opposition either. Sir Keir Starmer may be an affable chap, but why isn’t he doing his job and why is he busying himself with internal infighting instead?
Here, along with the disaster area that is also Boris Johnson-owned Brexit, we’ve been through what The Sun also called “a wretched few weeks” and sadly we’ve got plenty more of that to come. It is time now for the Prime Minister to man-up and to stop clowning around. It is time for him to tell us the truth about what he really intends for us all this Christmas; will we be just masked-up or yet again totally locked down?
God help us all and God, please save Christmas.
Yesterday, ‘The Guardian’ described Omicron as “the most worrying Covid variant yet.” Referencing how some international borders have already closed and the wearing of masks has been again enforced on public transport and in communal areas and shops in the United Kingdom, the paper emphasised that this new variant could be vaccine-resistant and added that this has “concerned governments and unnerved markets around the world.” Of a return to mask wearing enforcement in the UK, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) stated: “Forces will increase officer visibility where possible in high-risk and crowded areas. If officers encounter individuals not wearing a face covering on public transport or in shops, they will engage with them, explain the risks and encourage them to comply.”Boris Johnson is supposed to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but he instead busies himself with an obsession with personal popularity and keeping his conniving, deviant wife happy with holidays and expensive wallpaper. Shame on him.Sir Keir Starmer may have a new shadow cabinet and one that even ‘The Sun’ described as “an improvement.” He is, however, “listless” and “leaves floating voters cold despite the government’s many unforced errors.” Shame on him also.Equally, though Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, is a decent man, his party still has just 12 Members of Parliament in the House of Commons out of a total of 650 members. Their sphere of influence, therefore, is beyond miniscule.This morning the BBC reported that it had “seen [yet to date unpublished] leaked minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies held on Monday. They stated: “Officials should prepare now for a ‘potentially significant’ wave of infections while data on the variant is collected and analysed, they say. The government said it will take further action if necessary.” The corporation tellingly added: “They say that the earlier measures to reduce transmission are introduced, the stronger they are and the wider their geographical coverage, the more effective they will be. The situation could develop quickly over the coming weeks and decision makers may need to act while there is a high level of uncertainty including the potential need for stringent response measures.”Dr Jenny Harries wants the nation to decrease social contact “a little bit” now, but is this message really just a coded easing of the country back towards a lockdown like last December’s?
References to Adam and Eve from Ghislaine Maxwell’s defence team ignore the fact she is a genuinely poisonous apple; references to Jeffrey Epstein being like James Bond are equally ludicrous suggests Matthew Steeples
Yesterday, as the case against the alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell finally began, this supposedly “broken” by prosecutors – according to her batshit bonkers brother Ian – woman “breezed into Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse” in “an expensive-looking beige cashmere jumper, black trousers, heels and a white Covid mask,” according to the Daily Mail’s Tom Leonard.
Hugging her lawyers, “resting her hand appreciatively on the small of their backs” and waving at her “beret-clad sister Isabel” as if she were some kind of screen siren, Maxwell clearly set out how she intends to proceed behaviourally during her trial. It seems clear to me that the arrogance of her pension plundering father has been well and truly instilled in this self-entitled individual and that she’ll not go down with dignity.
Opening for the defence, Maxwell’s attorney Bobbi Sternheim rehashed Lady Victoria Hervey’s comparison of Ghislaine Maxwell to James Bond – in which she falsely predicted: “She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again” – and told the jury:
“Ever since Eve was accused of tempting Adam with the apple, women have been blamed for the bad behaviour of men, and women are often vilified and punished more than men are.”
“The charges against Ghislaine Maxwell are for things Jeffrey Epstein did. But she is not Jeffrey Epstein.”
“In many regards, he was like a 21st century James Bond…his accusers have shaken the money tree and millions of dollars have fallen their way.”
Responding to this strange statement for the Daily Mail, Tom Leonard quite sensibly concluded: “Maxwell will not be allowed to forget that, for many of [Jeffrey Epstein’s] accusers, this middle-aged and supposedly respectable woman – who allegedly helped recruit and groom them – is even more detestable than him.”
Undoubtedly a “poisonous apple” – defined by the Urban Dictionary as “an attractive personality” and appropriately also “someone attracted to having sexual relations with someone who is underage or illegal to have sex” – whether or not she is found innocent or guilty in this case, ‘Cap’n Bob’s’ deviant daughter is going to play this stage for all it’s worth; she is after all, as he once said, “just like me.”
This morning, crusading author of ‘Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography’ Kirby Sommers highlighted that the judge presiding over the case, Alison J. Nathan, is a member of the secretive Quill and Dagger society – Cornell University’s equivalent of Yale’s Skull and Bones society. It should also be noted that in a clearly political move, President Biden nominated Judge Nathan as his new nominee to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on 21st November. Clearly, this “reward” is an example of the use of “carrot-and-stick” on the part of politicians – whom have a lot to fear from what could be revealed during this case that could see then naming of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein associates President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump potentially.Yesterday’s reference to James Bond in the opening stages of the case against Ghislaine Maxwell is not the first time 007 has been mentioned. The alleged mucky madam’s friend Lady Victoria Hervey previously made such a comparison in an interview about her in 2019. Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow may loom over this trial like the ghost of Christmas past, but though Ghislaine Maxwell is and should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, it must be remembered that this tiral is about what SHE allegedly did to women younger and less connected than her.Where’s Cowardy Custard Scott Borgerson? Though Isabel Maxwell, one of Ghislaine’s siblings, turned up in court yesterday, there was no sign of her husband since 2016. With his wife on trial for such serious offences, isn’t it surprising that he’s not there to support her?Though her defence attorney Bobbi Sternheim made reference to Adam and Eve, she avoided bringing up the fact that comparison could be made to the poisonous apple tactic Miss Maxwell supposedly used to lure her alleged victims to do what she and Jeffrey Epstein deviantly demanded.
Tomorrow the Ghislaine Maxwell trial begins.
Get ready for a higher-than-usual amount of leftist panic and misguided outrage.
Ludicrously, yesterday gun rights activist Lauren Boebert, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, tweeted in support of poisonous apple Ghislaine Maxwell. She was quite rightly shot down by thousands in response online.
Examples of rotten-to-her-core Ghislaine Maxwell’s deviancy
Bail applications on the part of “wannabe insane” (but in fact just clearly acting up) Ghislaine Maxwell have been denied for various reasons and amongst the evidence that suggests she’s as trustworthy as Pinocchio are:
The croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-bestie used invented names whilst on the run in the summer of 2019 including Jennifer Marshall and Jen Marshall.
Maxwell’s purchase of a house ironically called ‘Tuckedaway’ is indicative of her clearly giving the justice system the proverbial middle finger. Whilst living there, she “demonstrated willingness and sophisticated ability to live in hiding,” according to prosecutors.
When arrested, Maxwell was discovered along with a “security company staffed with former members of the British military guard” whom had been hired by her brother.
Of her antics during her arrest, the FBI declared: “[She made] a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection… by law enforcement.”
Of why they decided to hold her in custody, Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York declared: “The government respectfully submits that the defendant cannot meet her burden of overcoming the statutory presumption in favour of detention. There are no conditions of bail that would assure the defendant’s presence in court proceedings in this case. Accordingly, any application for bail should be denied.”
When asked by the FBI which countries she was a citizen of, supposedly insane Maxwell arrogantly replied: “[I am a citizen of] TerraMar.” TerraMar is a non-existent place.
Maxwell is a citizen of three countries: The United Kingdom, France and the United States of America. After her arrest, prosecutors pointed out France “does not extradite its citizens to the United States pursuant to French law.”
She also has strong connections with Israel and her equally deviant father is buried there on the Mount of Olives.
The 95-page address book – generally incorrectly referenced as Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘little black book’ – compiled by Maxwell and filled with countless friends of hers. It totals 1,971 individual names and provides clear indication of her ties and connections to powerful people across the globe.
Maxwell has huge cash resources and has previously cited the ability to offer up £21.1 million ($28.5 million, €24.6 million or درهم7 million) and likely has other funds that have not yet even been declared.
Maxwell has the qualifications and ability to pilot submarines and aside from that and her husband Scott Borgerson’s maritime connections, the pair have links to plenty of wealthy people who could speed the alleged mucky madam away in a covert fashion using such vessels.
Mr Borgerson claimed to be “an ex-military man” during the time the couple were purchasing ‘Tuckedaway’ and was previously in the U.S. Coast Guard. It is obvious that such skills would be useful to his wife if she were to go on the run.
Maxwell appeared in a photoshopped image released to the press by an associate in August 2019. The image featured a bus stop with an advert that had never been shown at that location.
The Maxwell family have hired body doubles to try and deceive the media and authorities as to rotten-to-her-core Ghislaine Maxwell’s location.
Maxwell did not even tell her own family she had been married to Scott Borgerson since 2016 prior to her arrest.
Maxwell’s lawyer’s release of the image of her with a black eye – which they claimed to have been caused by abuse by guards – turned out to be an example of fake news. She had actually simply suffered from an eye infection.
Of Maxwell, her very own friend Lady Victoria Hervey once tellingly declared: “I don’t think anyone is going to find her. She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.”
Judge Nathan has previously declared of Robert Maxwell’s daughter: “[There are] no combination of conditions that can reasonably assure her appearance [if she is granted bail].”
That MP turned jailbird Charlie Elphicke claims to be unable to afford to pay £35,000 in court costs is ludicrous given that him and his immigrant hating replacement as MP wife are clearly far from poverty stricken
Conservative calamity Natalie Elphicke, the current MP for Dover, should go down in history as three things: Here, we have not only an ingracious immigrant hater, a poisonous penner of letters deemed inappropriate by the Committeee on Standards but also a wastrel woman who hypocritically took £25,000 from The Sun for an interview claiming to be getting rid of her self-declared “naughty Tory” sex offender husband after his conviction. She then did a full-on U-turn and subsequently came out in support of the very same scumbag abuser.
Now, late last week, after his release from prison after serving a sentence of one year of a two-year sentence for three counts of sexual assault, disgraced former Tory MP for Dover and still husband of Natalie, Charlie Elphicke, yet again appeared in court.
This time, the grabbing groper and all-round piece of toerag, who remains on licence until next year, was forced to attend Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court to explain why he hadn’t repaid £35,000 he owes towards the cost of his prosecution.
Outrageously this filthy ex-MP, who previously lived with his wife in a £5 million pad in Belgravia and a £1.4 million seaside home overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover, told the court:
“I find myself in a very difficult and embarrassed position. I have no job. I have no career. I am long-term unemployed. I have very limited cash to meet my living expenses.”
Mr Elphicke, who has also shockingly submitted a claim for Universal Credit, then pathetically offered to repay the court at a rate of £1 per month – which would take 35,000 months or 2,917 years – but this was quite rightly not accepted by the court.
Previously slammed by sentencing judge Mrs Justice Whipple at his trial as a “sexual predator” who used his “success and respectability as a cover” and told a pack of lies, here is a man with utterly no shame. Charlie Elphicke and his wicked wife deserve to be sent to only one place: Siberia; may this wealthy pair of whingebags rot in hell.
To accompany her shameless £25,000 interview with ‘The Sun,’ Natalie Elphicke – who outrageously was allowed to replace her sex offender husband as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Dover – turned on the tears and didn’t even bother to don warpaint. If she thought that would engender support from the public, she was very much wrongly mistaken.
This morning at about 9am, 8 illegal entrants motored into Britain. This is the dinghy they arrived in. This is the reality of the small boats crossings.

In her role as an MP, Mrs Elphicke has regularly attacked immigrants. She has a disgusting attitude that is frankly only to be expected from someone who has tried to make out her sexual abuser husband to be a victim. Shame on her.Charlie and Natalie Elphicke previously shared a £5 million terraced house in the tony Belgravia, SW1 area of London. It was here that the serial sex pest and dangerous deviant asked a young parliamentary worker to rub sunscreen on him, chased her around whilst screeching “I’m a naughty Tory” and “gave her the shivers.” This particular victim described the monstrous maniac as “clinically insane” whilst he eventually admitted he had “lost his head” after becoming “besotted” with her.Mr and Mrs Elphicke previously shared this £1.4 million seaside home in Dover, Kent also. It was placed for sale with Strutt & Parker in the wake of the sex offender’s conviction.In October 2020, Natalie Elphicke MP arrogantly told ‘Kent Live’: “I fully support Charlie in his appeal against both his convictions and today’s excessive sentence. The court seems to be on a bit of a mission, it entirely ignored the report of a highly experienced probation officer as well as sentencing guidelines. There is no doubt that Charlie behaved badly. However, everyone, Charlie included, has the right to a fair trial, and I don’t believe that he has had one. As I have written since the trial, I believe that Charlie’s conviction was a terrible miscarriage of justice. Having read all the evidence, including elements which the jury did not see, I continue to support him in every way possible in his appeal against both conviction and sentence. Substantive appeals have now been lodged and I hope others may join me in supporting Charlie’s legal fight to clear his name.” She thankfully and quite rightly didn’t get far with that.

Natalie Elphicke was condemned by Alex Belfield on his ‘Voice of Reason’ YouTube channel for taking £25,000 from ‘The Sun’ to “play the victim” in October 2020. He slammed Mrs Elphicke as “really scummy” and Mr Elphicke as a “scumbag” and “filthy.”
Prince Andrew’s attempts to launch a PR offensive to get himself out of the civil case against him are nothing but crass; arse-licking journalists Camilla Tominey and Matthew Parris should be ashamed of themselves for their toady support suggests Matthew Steeples
In hiding beneath his long-suffering mother’s coattails, Prince Andrew is undoubtedly currently and quite frankly deservedly at the lowest point thus far in his life.
Finally held to account after being served by representatives for alleged victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre in a civil lawsuit that makes him out at best to be a lascivious fool who associated with paedophiles and at worst a sexually deviant offender, ‘Randy Andy’ is now attempting to launch yet another PR offensive to make this ‘inconvenient matter’ go away.
Whilst some might say: “Who could blame him?” for attempting to hide behind his position of privilege and the technicalities of the law, just as the general public’s contempt for this national embarrassment continues to grow, the Duke of York has turned to ‘friends’ in the media to attempt to spin his way back into the fold of ‘the firm.’
This morning, in The Times, Matthew Parris – an opinionated toad once condemned by the esteemed actor, writer and producer Steven Berkoff in The Steeples Times as having a “small voice [that] would hardly raise a ripple in the ocean of the world’s injustices” – dared to laud the renegade royal by “contributing” a “snippet” of “positive publicity” as in Tesco fashion “for Prince Andrew, every little helps.”
In his arse-licking feature, Parris claimed that the duke recently “rescued a dog” in a “heart-warming tale of sympathy and quick-thinking” whilst at Balmoral. Citing, unsurprisingly, a “source, who shall be nameless” yet whom without evidence he claimed to be “impeccable,” the ex-Tory politician turned writer added:
“It happened like this. The prince was attending a reception in an upper storey of a castle. A small dog was also present. The dog, excited by the sound of royal security hounds barking on the drive beneath the window, ran at the open window and, teetering on the window-ledge, looked about to lose his footing and fall to earth many storeys below.”
“Other guests notice but Andrew acted. He rushed to the window, grabbed the little dog just in time and brought him cradled in his arms to safety.”
Elsewhere today in The Telegraph, Camilla Tominey – a woman known for guffawing with the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time ‘bestie’ – penned a gushing article headlined: ‘The 21-day race to save Prince Andrew’s reputation.’
In her ridiculous ramblings, Tominey laughably described the duke, who hasn’t even left the confines of Balmoral yet to visit his latest grandchild for fear of meeting a not so friendly law suit server, as a “doting family man” who has turned a “crisis into an opportunity.” What on earth is she on? Acid or crack?
Tanked-up in enthusiasm for a man whom clearly she counts as a chum, tedious teetotaler Tominey, described in response by Mic Wright in his Conquest of the Useless newsletter as running an “ongoing supine public relations campaign on behalf of the royals,” continued by rubbishing alleged victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre as having “inconsistencies in her story.” She pointedly added: “For Giuffre, it could prove to be a case of be careful what you wish for.”
Both Matthew Parris and Camilla Tominey, instead, are the ones that should be careful what they desire. Their attempts to big-up a man already proven to have had close friendship with not only paedophiles, but also dictators and despots may eventually result in their very own deserved undoings.

Clearly, Camilla Tominey and Prince Andrew get on well. It is not just a royal reporter – royal interviewee relationship, but in fact seems more like a friendship from this image.On another occasion in 2010, Tominey travelled to Mexico to interview the Duke of York. She clearly has been hanging around with this piece of toerag for a very long time.Rotten royal Prince Andrew is continually and deservedly mocked on social media over his sexual and financial antics. His new response, it seems, is to once again repeat a PR offensive to try to spin his ways out his woes, but today we again suggest this won’t work in spite of the glaringly obvious efforts of the likes of Matthew Parris and Camilla Tominey.Another image doing the rounds on Instagram currently shows mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s associate ‘Randy Andy’ at a window with his mother. It amusingly is captioned: “It’s alright son. It’s only an Amazon delivery.”
On Twitter, the ‘Daily Mail’s’ diary editor Richard Eden shared Parris’ article and mocked him as: “Prince Andrew, the hero dog rescuer.”
Pro-Brexiteer Tominey cannot help but show herself as closely aligned to ‘Randy Andy’ and biased in her support of him. She is totally lacking in journalistic integrity and frankly shameful.
Matthew Steeples suggests Sarah, Duchess of York ought not to be banging on about monsters at a time when the Duke of York faces a civil suit over sexual abuse
Resembling a clapped-out cleaner off Coronation Street rather than a regal royal, ‘Fergie’ decided to make what she called “monster drinks” and began her 3:48-minute ramble by asking her audience: “Are you ready for your monster drink?”
Continuing and clearly either over-refreshed on hooch or simply just off her not so merry rocker, the mindless lover of having her toes sucked childishly added:
“Yummy, yummy, yummy… The monsters are in Greece… Wizz, wizz, wizz bang, whoopse doo… We’re so spooky… Come and play monsters.”
Clearly getting no sensible advice from the PR peddler James Henderson or any other advisors available to her and the ex-husband she strangely still lives with, this wack job woman – whom it must be remembered answered: “No comment” when asked if she’d repaid money she’d taken from the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – would today do well to do the sensible thing and that is to learn the art of silence.
Observing past performance, however, ‘Foot-In-Mouth Fergie’ is incapable of such, but surely now is the time for someone to step in and kindly remind her and her sidekick that when you’re in a hole, it’s best to stop bloody digging.
“As long as it is hot, wet and goes down the right way, it’s fine with me.”
“With every smell, I smell food. With every sight, I see food. I can almost hear food. I want to spade the whole lot through my mouth at Mach 2. Basta!”
“We all sit round the table and eat together. Andrew and I believe in total parent unity. We’re best friends.”
“I would quite like to go on Dancing With The Stars. I would like somebody to teach me to tango. I do know the show and my children would be so proud of me.”
“I met [Prince Andrew] when I was 12, and I said: ‘I’m going to marry him.’”
“I left my marriage knowing I’d have to work. I have.”
“I didn’t want a divorce, but had to because of circumstance.”
“I wish we’d never got divorced. He and I both wish we’d never divorced, but we did. I wish I could go back and be the bride again, but I can’t.”
“I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake. Why have I made so many mistakes?”
“You look at the devil in the face, which you do. Then you forgive, and you say: ‘OK, I’ve made almost a mistake that will never be forgotten,’ and forgive.”
“I was so out of control with desperation… I was looking for quick fixes in the places I wouldn’t normally look… I’ve been a huge overtrusting, idiotic, stupid woman that went to look for the perfect situation, and that’s all I can say really.”
Prone to creating cringeworthily embarrassing situations at every turn, Sarah Ferguson will forever be remembered for that toe sucking incident. Her grubby attempts to grab money also do this childlike car crash utterly no favours.Spendthrift Sarah, Duchess of York has previous when it comes to banging on about monsters, as we reported in September 2020. Meanwhile, whilst she and Prince Andrew continue to bring shame on the royal family with their antics, their clearly close chum Ghislaine Maxwell rots in jail protecting them from taking responsibility for their very own actions.
Matthew Steeples condemns the inept organisation that is the DVLA – its headquarters on strike for months and staff riddled with COVID
Five months ago, I realised that my driving licence – which actually expires in 2051 – comes with a card that turns out requires updating every ten years now needs to be replaced.
Obviously, to deal with this matter I attempted first to telephone the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) headquarters in Swansea, Wales. In spite of them having 6,000 employees, nobody answered and all I got was some bumbling message about coronavirus lockdowns and it being better to go online.
Next, I followed the suggested advice and went to this government agency’s website. I filled in the required information and was quite prepared to pay the £14 fee, but at the final stage I was met with “the computer says no” effectively.
Plainly due to a glitch in this hapless organisation’s system, I was unable to proceed and advised to wait for a ‘live chat’ advisor. I patiently sat and did just such – especially after a message appeared stating not to input anything else for risk of being chucked out – and then after what must have been an hour, it timed out.
“Ongoing industrial action will directly affect services. There will be delays in processing paper applications. Please do not phone to chase up your application during this time as we are dealing with all paper applications as quickly as possible and in the order in which they are received.”
“Our online services are available and are the quickest and easiest way to deal with us.”
Next, in utter frustration at being unable to deal with this matter and prevented therefore from access to being able to drive a motor vehicle, I went to my local Post Office in Knightsbridge. They advised that they could process the required information for a fee of £21 and that this would take two weeks. I handed over the wonga and did as instructed.
Two months have now passed and nothing has been received. Today, I join the Independent Motor Dealers Association – who have also “slammed the agency for ‘nightmare’ delays” – in condemning this inept and unfit for purpose operation. Frankly, it’s time to privatise this useless organisation or to curb the power of the unions that are simply making the lives of wannabe law abiding motorists hell.
Renewing a driving licence card is currently nigh on an impossibility. It is time to set the founder of the ‘Complaining Cow’ – a website which teaches people to complain effectively – on this incompetent bunch of nincompoops. Why has our useless Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, done nothing to put a stop to their ongoing strike action?
A clearly workshy PCS representative for workers at this shocking organisation had the cheek and gaul to encourage the public to fund the striking civil servants. He ludicrously claimed that “we’re not being allowed to do our job safely” in a video shared on YouTube two months ago and added: “Please support us.”
In August 2020, Jeanette Miller discussed the ongoing delays in processing driving licence applications on the BBC’s ‘One Show.’ One guest explained that without a driving licence, she could not do her job in the healthcare sector whilst another added that with a lapsed licence, one cannot actually legally get on the road. Miller concluded: “DVLA, you need to step it up and put your foot down whilst you’re at it.”
