Soppy scrag-end Omid Scobie gets slammed for attacking real journalists over coverage of his chums’ ‘Harry & Meghan’ Netflix debut; his fake news rant about Prince Andrew is simply ridiculous
Whatever the tedious traitors that are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do, one person can always be relied on to come out in support of their awful antics. That person? Their ever-reliable PR peddler, you’ve guessed it, the clubbing mate of not-so-glamorous ‘glamour model’ Jodie Marsh and former Heat columnist, the rabid ranter Omid Scobie.
Taking to Twitter yesterday, soppy scrag-end Scobie attempted to attack real media outlets for their coverage of Netflix’s Harry & Meghan. Clearly as is usually the case with this as always less than amused Oxfordshire born berk, the plastic-not-fantastic ‘co-author of Finding Freedomraged:
“Remember that time when all the papers universally dedicated days of outraged front pages, hysterical coverage and venomous opinion pieces about Prince Andrew? Yeah, me neither.”
“You’re reading the wrong newspapers” curtly corresponded Daily Mail journalist and author of the Wasted – the betrayal of white working class and black Caribbean boys report author Harriet Sergeant whilst another going by the handle ‘TheQueenshandbag’ shared a composite of nine front pages about Prince Andrew. They pointedly accompanied this with an “oh, do you not remember when [the Duke of York] did his TV appearance?”
Continuing, others condemned Scobie’s “selective memory issues” and suggested him to be “not very observant.” Some argued that both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry have been “as bad as one another” and that the actions of both men were “their choices.” One added: “The consequence was, at a time when she should have been mourning her late husband with the support of her family, the ruination of the last months of the Queen’s life.”
Elsewhere on on the socials yesterday, another of the rare few still supporting ‘Ginge & Cringe’ decided to throw one of his ever-famous tantrums and announced he’d be “no longer using Twitter.” Citing “misinformation is now being used to divide our world” as being behind his reasoning, the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle’s supplier of private-jets-on-tap, Sir Elton John, claimed the social media medium’s “recent change in policy” will “allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.” His moaning since 2016 about lacking a title hubby, David Furnish, no doubt personally directed this especially moronic missive. Pip pip Rocket Man!

Scobie’s tweet did not go down well and the majority of the reaction to it was mockery of his continual arselicking of a couple who’ve never actually even been known to have bothered to pose for a photo with him. It speaks volumes that in spite of his loyalty and devotion to PR peddling for them, it can’t be long now before the Duchess of Sussex tires of his inability to get her good headlines; will he get thrown under the bus in 2023? The likelihood seems high.In their Netflix debut, ‘Ginge & Cringe’ very clearly disrespected their relatives and the mockery of the Queen especially by the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle over how she curtsied to her was an outrage. That her dimwitted drip of a husband allowed his wife to speak about his grandmother in this manner reflected very badly upon him as much as it did on her. Of such, television legend Christine Hamilton asked: “What sort of man just sits with a simpering smile while his wife deliberately mocks his own grandmother?”Scobie has shown why he uses Twitter in the past… Everything, just everything, has to be all about him; it’s no wonder he took up with Mrs Me-Me-Me Meghan Markle. Birds of a rotten feather.Yet again today, we remind the public who Omid Scobie really is. It is time for this irrelevant sh*t-stirrer to be cancelled. In 2023, we all look forward, instead, to the return of the legendary YouTube star Sadie Quinlan (AKA ‘Yankee Wally’).
Twitter reacts to Scobie’s latest PR peddling nonsense…
As fake news muckspreader Christopher Bouzy appears in Netflix’s ‘Harry & Meghan’ trailer, we remind readers of what a noxious nasty this reprehensible rubber-lipped rotter truly is
Better known as the online sensation ‘Yankee Wally,’ Quinlan provided entertainment to millions with her YouTube video missives where she shared her thoughts on the money-motivated-menace formerly known as Meghan Markle. She always brought joy, whereas Bouzy brought Barry Bollocks.
Aside from always beginning with the now much missed: “All my content is found on the public domain, it’s just my opinions and I play by the rules” [whatever they may be], Quinlan often remarked: “I thoroughly enjoy exposing the lies of Meghan Markle, and her husband is just as bad. I’m here till they lose titles and funding.” She was spot on in her analysis then and it is still as relevant now.
Now, bombastic bore Bouzy is trying get his revenge and in the tiresome trailer declared: “It’s about hatred. It’s about race.” After it released yesterday, the founder of the bag of bilge that is the Bot Sentinel founder pompously took to social media to declare:
“I guess I can officially announce I am in the Harry & Meghan docuseries.”
“I want to thank everyone who has supported Bot Sentinel’s research and allowed us to expose the targeted hate campaign against Harry and Meghan.”
Harry & Meghan premieres on Netflix tomorrow, Thursday 8th December, when tree episodes will air. An additional three installments will follow on Thursday 15th December and no doubt Christoher Bouzy’s “dirty games” will continue thereafter.
Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party or endorsed by Christopher Bouzy – a tedious twerp who bombarded Matthew Steeples with nonsense also. We’re lucky to be amongst the elite blocked by him on Twitter.
Matthew Steeples found interaction with the coder-turned-complete creep very odd, very odd indeed.‘The Times’ reacted to the Bot Sentinel founder appearing in the trailer by reminding its readers that the hateful horror had once nastily trolled the now Prince of Wales and in March 2021 remarked of him: “I am sorry but Prince William isn’t sexy, that is quarantine thirst talking. William looks like a balding Muppet.”Since declining to do the royal duties they ought jolly well have honoured, ‘Ginge & Cringe’ have lived beyond their means and made themselves out to be some kind of moral crusaders. This deranged duo have instead just turned themselves into international laughing stocks who simply live beyond their means.In the latest trailer, Prince Harry makes many a pop at his relatives and declares: “There’s a hierarchy of the family. You know, there’s leaking of stories, but there’s also planting of stories.”The Bot Sentinel founder likes to go to war with all sundry. Even Ellie Hall, a waste of space wack-job not a writer, has been subjected to being called “dishonest” by him in spite of him using her as a way of releasing “a steady flow of information.” This hypocrite deserves to be shown for what he is – rotten-to-his-never-sorry-core.Providing indication of how wicked and warped of mind he truly is, Bouzy took to Twitter on another occasion to share to mock Sadie Quinlan when it was announced that she was in hospital. This shameless cretin was then called out for being “the true hate troll he really is!” Sadly, it did not stop him continuing his hate campaign against an elderly Welsh woman, but equally, it unsurprisingly also did the opposite of what he desired and actually engendered yet more support for ‘Yankee Wally.’

Whilst the Hamptons was the scene of “bidding wars” and “supermarket spats” over £275 bottles of Chablis during the 2020 coronavirus crisis, it’s become the scene of socialites being arrested in “wife beaters” for assaulting “glampin’ workers” in the 2022 cost-of-living-crisis
There’s always been something about the Hamptons that attracts big spenders and badly-behaved berks.
Here is a set of tony townships rife with money, mystery, mayhem and murder and further proof of the madness of this privileged place came this week when Libbie Mugrabi – a soppy “socialite” resident best known for bizarrely once comparing herself to the late Diana, Princess of Wales – opened up to accuse her workers of “glampin’ in the Hamptons” when she got arrested for allegedly violently attacking them.
Setting the scene, during the summer of 2020 coronavirus lockdowns, “überwealthy” residents of this southern fork of Long Island hired nightclub bouncers to “prevent others from using their roads.” To “protect [their] health,” they “compounded” – “buying [up] two and even three seven-and eight-figure homes on the same street, grabbing up surrounding acres for family members” – in order to avoid others.
At the time, Vanity Fair’s Stephanie Krikorian mused of “bidding wars” and “tears,” whilst, to the New York Post’s Jennifer Gould, founder of “upscale supermarket chain” Citraella Joe Guerra lamented: “I had one customer spend $8,000. You know when you see someone with a full shopping cart? Now they have five… [They buy] pretty much everything they can… Instead of asking for one or two steaks on a tray, a customer will buy the whole tray. Then they’ll move on to shrimp, and buy all the shrimp, and then they’ll buy all the salmon steaks. Instead of asking for a slice of lasagna, they’ll buy all of it. Then they’ll buy all of our root vegetables… Business is insane.”
When not “ransacking grocery stores in epic shopping sprees,” these very wealthy folk were to be found at what they themselves termed “quarantine mansions” and many of them did exactly the opposite to what was deemed sensible.
These irresponsible brats threw “Covidiot super-spreader parties” and even worse, in one instance – which has become one of The Steeple Times’ most popular ever stories – a self-declared “power broker” and “well-regarded [estate] agent” named Jonathan Davis got into a serious spat. His crime? This “privileged, preppy prat” and Nest Seekers employed realtor became a “pesky squatter” in a Sag Harbor “dream home” that he supposedly utterly trashed. Here was not a property agent helping a landlord, but instead one seemingly robbing them and wrecking their residence instead.
Confronted by Inside Edition’s cameras in June 2020, Mr Davis raged: “I’ve got no comments except: GET ORF THE GROUNDS!” whilst the landlady to whom he owed thousands, Paula Rosado, responded: “It’s horrific. It really is just horrific… This has been a complete nightmare for us, for our family emotionally and financially…. [His German Shepherd dogs] tear apart [everything] and urinate all over rugs and couches [sic].”
Of him, one fellow agent, Zachary Belil, later commented to The Steeple Times: “The kid is a little freak. He tried suing Compass for no reason” whilst social butterfly Lynn Wyatt added: “I dealt with him once. He has no manners and is an arrogant little f**k. Zachary Belil is a realtor I’ve heard good things about and though I have never dealt with him, I back him up – Jonnie Boy is a FREAK.”
Whilst Jonathan Davis is astoundingly still employed by Nest Seekers at their Bridgehampton office, Libbie Mugrabi has taken up his mantle and featured late last week in a New York Post article by Michael Kaplan as an “arrested socialite” after the Southampton Police Department had “charged [her] with menacing, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a weapon” last Tuesday.
Ms Mugrabi – the ex-wife of “billionaire art collector” David Mugrabi and a woman known for having described her marriage as a “gilded cage” during “New York’s nastiest divorce” in 2020 – Kaplan reported, got cuffed after attacking an “unnamed housekeeper” on 31st July “with a mop handle and a knife, and broke her cellphone” at her 10,000 square foot house in Water Mill.
Ordered now to appear in court on 6th December, Mugrabi showed no sign of remorse and raged to the paper:
“They should have been doing work on my house, but not living in my house. The night I came home, a lady was in my guest room – she was supposed to have been let go. I went to use the bathroom, saw her, and I got scared to death.”
“She started throwing stuff at me. She threw a cellphone and the bottom of a stringy mop at me. She was screaming like a crazy person and threw a bible at me.”
Turning to the “attack allegation leveled against her,” she conceded: “I’m not aggressive physically. I’m aggressive with my voice.”
Her mother, Jane Scher, who claims to have met the staff in question on another occasion, added: “These people had taken over Libbie’s house… They were in the pool and the hot tub and wouldn’t even give me a cup of coffee. I thought they had a better life than I do… Libbie told them to feed me. They gave me some kind of soup with ginger. It tasted OK. I was starving.”
Of the conduct of the police who arrested her, Mugrabi raged:
“[They] were aggressive for no reason. They attacked me and handcuffed me. I said they were twisting my wrist. They said: ‘It’s OK.’ I asked to read me my rights. They said: ‘We don’t read rights for this.’ … I don’t know what I did in Southampton except pay my taxes.”
Her friend, fashion consultant Marko Matysik, who was present during the 22nd November arrest and “watching from the terrace at the time,” whined:
“Next thing I knew, Libbie was in handcuffs. She was wearing a wife-beater and hot pants. I grabbed as many of her handbags and hand luggage as I could [in case she needed anything inside them] and got into the chauffeured Suburban and followed the police car…. They were very happy to have her in the jailhouse.”
Concluding, Libbie Mugrabi ignored the cost-of-living crisis that so many around the world are currently enduring. Instead, she moaned that after the “commotion” of the arrest she’d been forced to “postpone” a trip to Miami and had instead spent “some town in her Upper East Side townhouse.” The somewhat shamed but clearly not ashamed socialite finally bleated: “I had Thanksgiving in New York. I definitely would not have had it in the Hamptons. Right now, I’m scared to go there.” Now, get those damned violins a-playing.

Pictured Top – The ritzy residential resort of the Hamptons attracts billionaires with bulging bank balances because of its idyllic charm (top), but it also appeals to brash Botoxed braggarts like Libbie Mugrabi (bottom right) and her mother Jane Scher (bottom left).
Libbie Mugrabi (pictured with her billionaire ex-husband) showed her clear belief that she’s always the victim when she told ‘Page Six’ in June 2021: “I had the same thing as [the late Diana, Princess of Wales] – I got married young. She was told what to do and wear. And so was I. You’re under control and under a rein. It doesn’t matter what’s fair or what you deserve… After divorce, you can breathe, free of the gilded cage. I married someone who thought he was better than me.” She got her ‘plastic-not-fantastic look’ in spite of having had a father who was a plastic surgeon and a mother who was a nurse.After her divorce, ‘Lovely Libbie’ briefly hooked up with Brock Pierce (pictured with her left and right in his acting days) – a former child actor who had appeared in Disney’s ‘The Mighty Ducks’ and who ran as an independent candidate in the 2020 United States of America presidential election. That didn’t last. “I didn’t know anyone at my wedding” at one point further admitted mother-of-two turned “trucker hat-seller” Ms Mugrabi before she arrogantly added in another of many self-grandiose interviews: “My artist friends compare me to Peggy Gugenheim… She was fast and furious and drove in her own lane and no one could keep up with her.” Of subsequent relationships, she’s first to admit they’ve been equally disastrous. “I got robbed by so many people since I got divorced. I’ve been robbed like 10 times… I’m open and I’m free, and I’ve had some really creepy people around me. Now I’m being much more careful. I’ve never been 41 before with money and all this stuff. It’s like a rebirth. You have to relearn everything,” she added. There’s maybe hope for this ridiculous woman yet.During their multi-million divorce in December 2018, things got very “nasty” between Mr and Mrs Mugrabi. Of the pair, unnamed ‘sources’ close to the couple tellingly remarked: “I didn’t know people like us did this… [Libbie and David] met in Aspen and six months later they got engaged… In those days, she was the sweetest, so nice… [David’s family] tried to take her in… They were living the highest life you can imagine: A lot of staff. A lot of nannies, a lot of cleaning people and chefs. Two homes, a lot of drivers and the [Mugrabi] family airplane… Libbie is a big fashionista. [David] didn’t like paying for that.” Of her having employed a personal secretary, “family friends” were supposedly “flabbergasted” and observed: “What? ‘Little Libbie’ who doesn’t even know her way around Bergdorf’s? I think [David] created a monster.” He most definitely did.In an undated video about her “brand” (whatever that might actually be), Libbie Mugrabi bragged: “The brand is since the pandemic and life change [sic]. It’s just happy, kind and cool, funny, spread love brand [sic]. For girls, for dogs, for women, for men, but it’s geared all towards growth; female empowerment but it can be used by blokes too.” She then banged on about ‘Tatler’ magazine having called her a “glamorous divorcee” – which she termed “nice, erm, kind” – and added: “I came up with the French version: ‘Divorcée glam’” – but failed to mention her alleged penchant for attacking her staff with mop handles and knives and breaking their mobile phones.Jonathan Davis of realty firm Nest Seekers developed notoriety during the 2020 coronavirus lockdowns not for helping his clients in the Hamptons get places to live. Instead, this rotten realtor became known as a “pesky squatter” who allowed his dogs to urinate and destroy a house he supposedly owed many thousands of dollars in rent on.Former editor of ‘The Sun’ David Yelland delighted in the story of the arrested socialite yesterday. On Twitter, the veteran newsman observed: “Here’s a splendid out of season Hamptons socialite story to cheer us all up… Libbie Mugrabi claims she is victim of housekeeper and Hamptons cops.” He clearly wasn’t out to show this birdbrained Botox advertisement any sympathy.One of the “gilded cages” in the Hamptons that a woman who believes herself like the late Diana, Princess of Wales calls home and the scene where Libbie Mugrabi allegedly assaulted one of her staff with a mop handle and knife in July this year.In a similar show of out-of-touch behaviour, in March 2020, another self-appointed Hamptons “philanthropist and socialite,” Jean Shafiroff, told the ‘New York Post’ that she was normally “accustomed to dining out on a nightly basis” whilst at her home in the ritzy enclave. The paper continued: “In the face of the coronavirus, she has taken the unfamiliar step of cooking for her husband, daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend. And it’s not been cheap. ‘I’m spending $300 to $1,000 a day on food and supplies,’ she said. The money goes toward chicken and salmon steaks, some of which she freezes, as well as for cleaning supplies and food for her dogs. ‘I even bought the drugstore out of all its dental floss. I wanted to make sure I had enough, along with extra toothbrushes, soap, toothpaste and body lotions,’ she said. ‘If I have to be quarantined, I better look nice.’ Shafiroff also is buying canned goods like the rest of America, but only out of an abundance of caution. ‘I can donate them later,’ she said of the items like Progresso chicken noodle soup and Del Monte peas and carrots – brands ‘I had never heard of before.’ How the other half live; previously, in September 2017, Mrs Shafiroff wailed to ‘Page Six’ about how she’d been attacked by bees at the Hampton Classic horse show. In spite of not actually being stung, the attention seeker told the paper: “I tried to stand still and let them fly off but they wouldn’t get off my face. I was terrified. They must have liked my perfume (which was Nanban).” ‘Page Six’ concluded: “Bystanders tried to help the swarmed socialite by swinging at the bees who eventually buzzed off.”“Gym-bodied and catalogue-model-handsome” Thomas Gilbert Jr. personifies “the Hamptons gone bad.” In 2013, this Princeton graduate and son of hedge fund manager Thomas Gilbert Sr., founder of Wainscott Capital became the primes suspect of throwing a Molotov cocktail into his former roommate Peter Smith’s 300-year-old Sagaponack family home and burning it to the ground; in January 2015, he sent his mother out to get a sandwich and then shot his dad dead with a .40-caliber Glock pistol. Imprisoned to life with an earliest release date of April 2044, prisoner 19A3615 is now said to be dating Lila Chase, the niece of the actor Chevy Chase. An extra also in the 2013 short film ‘And After All,’ Gilbert Jr. was described as “delusional,” is said to have “avoided New York’s JFK airport at all costs” as he viewed it to be “severely contaminated and faked suicide during his trial by claiming he’d swallowed a battery. On being taken for an X-ray, he was found to be holding a battery over his stomach. It’s lucky that this lunatic and the definitely delusional Libbie Mugrabi didn’t meet; the pair might have gotten on like a house-on-fire.What’ll little miss ‘Divorcée Glam’ do next? Apologise? Unlikely… This motormouthed menace will more likely be found ranting and raving to yet another media title than mopping up her own mess. This Marie-Antoinette like woman might be an aspiring “extravagance knows no bounds” Barbara Amiel type figure, but she’s clearly not got the brains, brawn or beauty to pull off even that look. Next!
The latest pathetic excuses not apologies offered by ITV presenters Ferne McCann and Phillip Schofield prove this pointless pair of pillocks to be utter plonkers and total disgraces
Queue jumping as the Queen lay in-state, it seems, was perfectly excusable to ITV This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield; insulting the sixteen victims of the acid chucking father of her child, it seems, was perfectly excusable to sometime ITV This Morning presenter Ferne McCann.
“Have you got nothing better to do with your time? … Why should I apologise?” raged rabid Schofield yesterday when approached outside his home by a reporter from GB News when asked if he thought he thought he was unfairly targeted in what became known as the ‘Queuegate’ scandal. The notoriously nasty flogger of noxious boxed ‘plughole plonk’ then continued: “I think [Holly Willoughby and I] were unfairly targeted… You’re a bit late with that story, mate.” The sometime ‘friend’ of Matthew McGreevy then slammed his door; he no doubt then went and had a little weep.
Elsewhere yesterday, fellow ITV presenter Ferne McCann – a wicked-wastrel-woman who disgracefully flogged lip plumping primer beauty products online on the very day in December 2018 when the father of her child, Arthur Collins, was sentenced for throwing acid over sixteen innocent people – took to Instagram to issue a wishy-washy set of words about voice notes in which she shockingly termed scarred-for-life Sophie Hall, a victim of her ex-shagging partner, a “silly b*tch.”
Instead of owning and genuinely offering up a heartfelt apology, yesterday (and offering to put right her wrongs also), McCann dug deeper into the hole that she and only she has created. On Instagram, this dimwitted dunce rambled:
“I am aware that people will have a number of questions about the voice messages being put into the public domain and purportedly being sent by me. I feel I have no choice but to address these (to the extent that I can as there are restrictions on me which I explain below).”
“Most importantly I want to apologise to all the victims of Arthur Collins abhorrent actions in 2017 that they have to relive that night and the pain that followed because this matter is again in the public domain.”
‘In particular I want to apologise to Sophie Hall. I do not believe her to be ugly or stupid. She has been brave beyond belief.”
“Arthur Collins’ crimes created genuine victims so I am not trying to portray myself as one. I am unable to say much because there are important and significant legal proceedings that prevent me from setting the record straight at this stage.”
“What I can say is that the voice messages that are being released are manipulated; edited and taken entirely out of context.”
“Even so, I will have said things that are untrue and I did not believe – but I did so to protect my family and myself from serious harm and in the face of significant threats.”
Effectively an admission that she DID say these things – though she claims she didn’t mean them and shouldn’t have said them – here is proof why ITV must not put this victim shaming cretin back on our screens.
Warbling wazzock Ferne McCann, 32, is of mind stir-fried and moral compass warped. She is not fit to lecture others on how to bring up children; she’s beyond childish herself. Blubbing crybaby Philip Schofield, 60, on the other hand, is older and should be wiser and should know better. He clearly isn’t and just like his over Botoxed protégé, it’s simply time to pension off the nation’s ultimate plonker. Next!

'I think we were [unfairly targeted]'
Phillip Schofield refuses to apologise over 'queuegate' accusations that he skipped the queue to see the late Queen lying-in-state. pic.twitter.com/wT4Sf61Sq0
ITV1’s ‘This Morning’ co-host Phillip Schofield cringed and looked as if he was about to snap when approached outside his West London home by GB News presenter Ben Leo yesterday. Here is a mouse-not-a-man who wrongly assumes that he’s some kind of national treasure worthy of not a jot of criticism.Instead of skipping queues and upsetting the nation in the process, the all-round-angry man and ‘This Morning’ host and ex-sidekick of Gordon the Gopher should quit his ITV job and focus on improving his deservedly slammed boxed wines (right). He thought his red “perfect with olives” whilst the public decided it “better poured down the plughole.” Alternatively, he could put some effort into ‘making up’ with his missing from our screens for quite some time now former close friend, Matthew McGreevy.When she thought she could rake in some wonga from ‘OK!’ feckless fool Ferne McCann happily posed for snaps with the since convicted criminal Arthur Collins. This nasty piece of toerag, known best now for her vicious tongue and twisted moral compass, deserves only one thing – permanent cancellation.The only thing on the mind of the now former ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ participant is clearly fame and money. She doesn’t care how she gets it and she doesn’t care who gets hurt along the way. Here is a wazzock woman who clearly couldn’t give a jot about what damage was done to the 16 victims her once-to-be-hubby hurled acid all over. There should be no excuses made for her vile conduct.Courageous victim Sophie Hall has shown resilience and responded to the vicious remarks made about her by stating: “Ferne herself has said before that she struggles with her own appearance. So, to be commenting on how someone else looks –regardless if it was never meant to be heard – is wrong. This is me fighting back and remaining strong. I want them to know we should be proud of our scars because they are a reminder of how strong we are. I would ask Ferne: ‘What have I ever done to you? Why are you targeting me, when all I’ve been trying to do is make a positive out of a terrible and traumatic experience that I sincerely hope no one ever has to go through in their lifetime?’ I wanted to have a positive impact and perhaps inspire people and not only build my confidence, but help other victims out there that may be having a tough time and to show that you can still go on and achieve fantastic things. There’s so much to overcome and I’ve found there’s lots of rounds in this competition that you have to take part in and it has helped me rebuild different parts of my life – it’s helped me massively.” She is to be saluted whilst the ITV ‘This Morning’ presenter should be slammed.
Be sure to follow @ladywhistledown195 on Instagram; you’ll learn plenty about Ferne McCann’s vile views about her acid chucking ex-fiancé and her abhorrent views about his 16 innocent victims
The Instagram account of the moment to follow is undoubtedly an anonymous one that uses the handle @ladywhistledown195. Whether or not the content it shares is genuine has been questioned, but the voice of the person it has recordings of sounds very, very genuine.
In spite of having made just four posts since its first on 28th September, this account has attracted over 66,700 followers. It has come to prominence after using the ‘stories’ function to release voice notes supposedly recorded by ITV television presenter Ferne McCann and boy are they shocking, disgusting and outrageous.
In them, someone believed to be moronic and mouthy Miss McCann – a woman with a child by a menace-not-a-man named Arthur Collins (who is in jail for 20 years for throwing acid over 16 individuals in 2017) – references her ex-lover’s past and her ex-lover’s victims.
Of one innocent victim, Sophie Hall, a poor lady left scarred for life, deciding to enter a beauty contest, a woman generally believed to be McCann is heard to say:
“I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, the silly b*tch has made a dress… A papier- mâché dress out of the newspaper cuttings from the [acid throwing incident] event.”
“She’ll probably win it, I’m not gonna [sic] lie, only because the event and the awards that she has entered or beauty competition, whatever it is.”
‘They’re probably loving all this free press for their event so they’ll probably fix it, she’ll win it.”
Responding, victim Miss Hall has spoken to various publications and variously commented:
“I’m in a state of shock and disbelief.”
“Ferne herself has said before that she struggles with her own appearance. So, to be commenting on how someone else looks –regardless if it was never meant to be heard – is wrong.”
“This is me fighting back and remaining strong. I want them to know we should be proud of our scars because they are a reminder of how strong we are.”
“I would ask Ferne: ‘What have I ever done to you? Why are you targeting me, when all I’ve been trying to do is make a positive out of a terrible and traumatic experience that I sincerely hope no one ever has to go through in their lifetime?’”
“I wanted to have a positive impact and perhaps inspire people and not only build my confidence, but help other victims out there that may be having a tough time and to show that you can still go on and achieve fantastic things.”
“There’s so much to overcome and I’ve found there’s lots of rounds in this competition that you have to take part in and it has helped me rebuild different parts of my life – it’s helped me massively.”
Reporting on the vile notes, the MailOnline’s Joanna Crawley quoted an unnamed ‘source’ who concluded: “Ferne has reportedly been left devastated by the leaked notes and ‘can’t stop crying’ as she has received backlash from fans online.”
Perhaps, instead of crying only after being caught, Miss McCann ought to do the decent thing and stop attacking the sixteen innocent people whose lives were ruined by her ex-lover and ‘baby dada.’
Shame on Ferne McCann and shame on all of those – most especially ITV (a channel that has also given the violent criminal abuser Boy George a platform) – that have and continue to enable this wicked woman to profit from the pain of others. It is time she did the decent thing and that is to learn the art of an apology.
Pictured Top – Ferne McCann and Arthur Collins sold news of their impending-never-to-happen wedding to ‘OK!’ in April 2017 (left) just days before Collins went on the rampage chucking acid over innocent people in a nightclub; later this washed-up-wastrel woman was snapped smashed-off-her-skull (right).

When mentally challenged Arthur Collins decided to hurl acid over people he had utterly no connection to, he wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Candy Killer.” He wore the same item of clothing previously whilst on holiday in Dubai previously when posing in a Rolls-Royce alongside the warped-of-mind woman he never got to actually marry, Ferne McCann.In December 2018, McCann – who very inappropriately took to Instagram to flog lip plumping primers on the day the father of her child was jailed in December 2017 – appeared on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ with the creepy Christian crooner Sir Cliff Richard. Her latest scandal involving ‘victim shaming’ presents this wicked woman for exactly what she is – sick, twisted and frankly repugnant.
The injuries suffered by victims of the ‘despicable’ acid attack at Mangle, Dalston, London, E8 on 17th April 2017
In December 2017, then 25-year-old Arthur Collins was jailed for 20 years with an extra 5 years on licence at Wood Green Crown Court. He had been convicted in November that year of 5 counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and 9 counts of actual bodily harm.
At the time, Judge Noel Lucas QC remarked: “Your case has attracted a great deal of public interest. This is because what you did at the Mangle club… was a despicable act” before praising the “extraordinary courage” of victims Phoebe Giorgiu, Lauren Trent and Sophie Hall.
Collins, a vile toerag deemed to have a “low IQ that bordered on a learning disability,” was told “he had demonstrated not the least remorse for his actions, which injured 14 people” before he was deservedly sent down, The Guardian reported.
The graphic injuries suffered by the victims of Arthur Collins…
In December 2017, Neal Baker of The Sun detailed the “horrifying extent of the injuries” of the 16 victims whose lives the deranged deviant Arthur Collins changed forever.
Baker noted:
Victim 1: A 29-year-old man, suffered second degree chemical burns to left side of the face, including cheek, eye, eyelids and lips. His wounds extended from right temple and forehead, across the bridge of his nose and into the left eyebrow.
Victim 2: A 24-year-old man, suffered third degree chemical burn injuries to the left side of face, ear, neck and shoulder area. One and a half per cent of total body surface area affected. A skin graft was required.
Victim 3: A 21-year-old man, sustained chemical burns, to right cheek, lower left cheek, and anterior neck with additional areas to his left check and left arm and hand. Six per cent of the total body surface area affected.
Victim 4: A 21-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, on nose and cheeks extending onto lips, on her left shoulder extending to her left breast. Multiple small blistered areas affecting her neck, upper chest and upper limbs. A corneal abrasion (scratch on eye) with chemical conjunctivitis.
Victim 5: A 23-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, affecting chest, breasts, neck and upper left arm. Three per cent of total body surface area affected. Surgical intervention to treat abscess infection resulting in a further week in hospital subsequent to her discharge.

Victim 16: A 23-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, splash marks to left arm, shoulder and forehead.
As the dopey Duchess of Sussex is derided for her “me, me, me” speech in Manchester, her pugnacious PR peddler Omid Scobie continues his cretinous campaign against her husband’s family
Today, as the new Prime Minister Liz Truss heads to Balmoral to see the Queen, it remains unknown as to whether her grandson Prince Harry and his wife – currently in Europe bigging themselves up in spite of the public clearly not wanting them present – will bother to do the same and pay a visit also.
In Düsseldorf today for the Invictus Games but said to be have “free time” tomorrow before being expected at the WellChild Awards in London on Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were deservedly slammed by Gyles Brandreth yesterday on ITV’s This Morning programme.
Speaking of the dastardly duo, the much-loved veteran broadcaster and author declared: “The number of people being as sympathetic to them [the Sussexes] as they were initially does seem to be sort of thinning out a little bit… Once you make yourself the story, then you yourself become the story. What should be the story is the good works that you are doing… but, in fact, what we’re talking about is the family rift.”
Unsurprisingly, elsewhere the MailOnline’s Mark Duell referenced an intervention by Omid Scobie – who he termed “Meghan and Harry’s friend and trusted media partner” – in which the feckless Finding Freedom ‘author’ laughably claimed: “This is very much about the work [that the couple] wanted to do ever since they stepped back.” The leading “Sussex Squaddie” and all-round troll did, however, fail to mention what role paymasters’ Netflix and Spotify would play in the charade and also neglected to justify his continuing campaign against other members of Prince Harry’s family.
Turning to the speech to 2,000 young people in Manchester yesterday by the Duchess of Sussex, The Sun’s Sarah Grealish reported on a “Meg-A Snub” and shared news of the former Suits actress and her drippy husband being “booed and branded ‘fake royals’ by [the] crowd on [their] ‘me, me, me’ mini-tour.” The duchess referenced herself an astonishing 54 times during her 7-minute “nonsensical” tirade before the assembled gathering at the One Young World youth gala.
Grealish added that the couple were faced with “anti-royal placards” and “one woman accused Meghan of being a ‘liar and a hypocrite’ and of launching an ‘attack’ on the royal family.” Another, “Janet from Manchester” is said to have added: “She’s a fake humanitarian and a fake feminist. She’s a social climber… She thought she could be a celebrity in the royal family and she’s the most toxic, divisive woman I’ve ever heard of in my life.”
Pictured top – Plastic-not-anything-but-fantastic PR peddler not-a-journalist Omid Scobie (left) and his delusional puppet mistress, the Duchess of Sussex (right) yesterday in the north of England.
The ‘Montecito Meddler’ turned up looking like a scarlet woman to give her speech yesterday. It was met with derision given it was just about herself rather than inspiring to the young people who’d paid upto £1,000 to be present.On Twitter, Jimmy Failla of ‘Fox Across America’ called out the Duchess of Sussex and remarked of her: “It takes a special kind of stupid to claim women are being held back on the SAME DAY they name a Female Prime Minister” in the United Kingdom.Meanwhile this morning, after the ‘Daily Mail’s’ Richard Eden referenced “charity clearly [starting] at home for mother and daughter” behind the One Young World charity – after ‘The Sun’ reported that Kate Robertson and her daughter Ella Robertson McKay took home £634,494 in pay between them last year in spite of the pandemic, ‘The Steeple Times’s’ editor Matthew Steeples expressed surprise that “Chanel-clad” Baroness Meyer – who Eden had previously called out for her “charitable” antics” – had not got in on the act.The second son of Prince Charles and his late former wife Diana, Princess of Wales were told they were “fake royals” and to “f**k off” by one placard waving protestor. Another added: “[‘MeGain’] has used every card she can – racism, mental health, feminism. She’s not a feminist, she’s just a hypocrite.”As the duo arrived at the Bridgewater Hall, they were booed and jeered from behind barriers by an angry mob. Their demand for a “ring of steel” security curtain to shield them from such did nothing except draw further attention to how much the British public truly dislike their audacious antics.The couple’s popularity has plunged further and further into the quagmire in recent months. Nobody is surprised about that and they’re most certainly up there with non-sweating friend of child abusing sex traffickers Prince Andrew in the very, very disliked stakes.
What’s the truth about the stories that abound about the Duchess of Sussex?
Of her claiming having got married the day before she actually did, Mr Markle stated: “Lying about the archbishop? How can you say: ‘We’ve been married three days before we got married’? Her lies are so obvious, I don’t know why she says them.”
Her very own half-sister, Samantha, who is currently bringing a defamation case against her, has called her out as a liar on multiple occasions also. It has been proven that the duchess’s claim that she hasn’t seen her sibling in over 20 years was proven untrue when a photo of the pair 13 years ago emerged.
Her very own half-brother, Thomas Jr., said of her: “I told Prince Harry, I think she’s going to ruin your life. She’s very shallow… She’s a phony, a bully, a jaded, shallow, conceited woman.”
The wife of Prince Harry has been called out on multiple occasions for spinning stories against other members of the royal family, most especially the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Staff who’ve worked for her have complained that she is a bully and investigations into this remain ongoing.
The Duchess of Sussex is a known manipulator of the press and paparazzis and it has been claimed that she’ll “twist the truth” to get any headline she wants.
Questions remain as to how many times she’s actually been married in total. Some say twice, some say thrice.
Did the ‘Montecito Meddler’ meet Prince Andrew or Prince Harry first? Rumours abound that she could have spent time and holidayed with the former as long ago as 2001 and that her claim to have no prior knowledge of the royal family until 2016 is just utter baloney.
As Ghislaine Maxwell’s former business partner Jemma Kidd takes part in a car rally that raises money for victims of sex trafficking, we again call out the ridiculous vanity project of rich-not-robust women that is Cash & Rocket
Cash & Rocket is a ‘charitable organisation’ that claims to seek to bring about the “empowerment of women,” but it is actually ironically best known for having counted the since convicted sex trafficker of women Ghislaine Maxwell as amongst its participants in 2019.
Now, with news, post coronavirus lockdowns, that the car rally is again on the road, The Steeple Times contacted Cash & Rocket’s founder and CEO, Julie Brangstrup, for comment as to her view on the forthcoming sentencing of Robert Maxwell’s mucky madam daughter. We have yet to receive a reply.
With news from the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this morning that Jemma Kidd (AKA the Countess of Mornington) – who counted the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s onetime lover as a director of her now dissolved since January 2020 Jemma Kidd Makeup Limited company – is participating in this year’s event, we again question the clearly odd associations of Cash & Rocket.
Happening this year between 9th to the 12th June and involving 80 women driving between Barcelona and Florence via Provence and Milan, the website for the ‘teams’ participating is very much more vague than in 2019. It does not, most tellingly, include the surnames of any participants and though it is claimed £291,460 has been raised thus far, we again today remind Julie Brangstrup that she still has questions to answer.
“Whilst all mention of Ghislaine Maxwell from Cash & Rocket’s website and social media, the stench of the involvement of this incarcerated alleged sexual abuser of women is something that still needs to be explained. We today call upon Julie Brangstrup to ‘woman up’ and explain how the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter was allowed to join the event on 13th June 2019 given alleged victim Maria Farmer had already filed a sworn affidavit against Maxwell on 16th April that year.”
The Steeple Times’ Matthew Steeples will be interviewed by leading true crime podcaster and author Shaun Attwood about Ghislaine Maxwell and her likely fate tomorrow, 12th June, at CrimeCon 2022 in London between 11am and 12 noon.

Of her involvement in the 2022 rally, the ‘Daily Mail’s’ Richard Eden this morning quoted Lady Mornington as “gushing”: “Can we just have an appreciation of how bloody spectacular this car is… It’s a 3-litre V6 hybrid from Ferrari and it goes from 0 to 60mph in 2.9 seconds. It’s blown my little socks off.”An image of the 2019 participants in Cash & Rocket’s rally at the Wellington Arch launch event on 13th June 2020. Miss Maxwell was presumably hiding ‘Where’s Wally?’ like somewhere within this shot.In another image, shared a little more widely previously, the mucky madam posed next to the Alfa Romeo she co-drove with Nettie Mason with Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury behind her.The ‘charitable organisation’ featured Miss Maxwell on their website during the 2019 event but have since removed all reference to her. The profile for the drivers of ‘Car 28,’ at the time, bizarrely suggested they’d raised “£0” and thus proved their fundraising abilities to be “as much use as a chocolate teapot.”Shaun Attwood with co-host Jennifer Hopkins will discuss “two of the biggest stories in true crime” on 12th June 2022 between 11am and 12 noon at the UK’s number one gathering of those interested in true crime in Britain and beyond.
As PR peddler for the ‘House of Montecito’ Omid Scobie again “rants” about the royals, all this one-time mate of the not so glamorous glamour model Jodie Marsh does is show himself up
“Whether you are a royalist or not, Her Majesty deserves better than this” droned the pugnaciously predictable PR-peddler-not-a-credible-journalist Omid Scobie in what has been branded an “800-word rant” by The Daily Express’s Jon King.
Peppered with quotes from unnamed sources – who could, quite frankly, very easily be invented – the mendacious minx formerly known as Meghan Markle’s personal scribbler and ‘friend,’ as always, referenced himself to be something of an expert on the royal “beat” in a feature for the decidedly out-of-date Yahoo! News. He made out that those making a “fuss” about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex not appearing on Buckingham Palace’s balcony during next month’s Platinum Jubilee have got it wrong and suggested the real reason is to “keep a certain disgraced royal [Prince Andrew] at bay.”
“Makes sense to me” added Scobie – who also remarked of “pot-stirring polls” about people threatening to boo the drip that is Prince Harry and his ‘Modern Day Mrs Simpson’ wife and pointedly stated: “I suppose his recent multi-million settlement with a woman accusing him of sexually assaulting her at 17 years old is nothing compared to the audacity of two people who moved abroad” – before he declared: “It’s the sections of media hellbent on joyriding the focus towards soap opera-style drama and embellished tales.”
Perhaps, instead, this one-time sidekick of the not so glamorous glamour model Jodie Marsh – a plastic not fantastic creosoted creature who once declared she wanted to get married in a fetish ceremony in a dungeon – should take a look in the mirror. It is his tittle-tattling tome, Finding Freedom, that is the book that will go down in history as nothing but “embellished tales” and it is avoiding the damage that the nonsense he spins that the Queen “deserves better than this” of instead.
Pictured top (from left to right) – The Duchess of Sussex back in her days as a lowbrow actress in ‘Suits’ in a clinch with ‘co-star’ Patrick J. Adams; boob exposing ‘glamour model’ Jodie Marsh and PR peddling pillock Omid Scobie.
Like his puppet mistress the Duchess of Sussex, the ‘Finding Freedom’ co-author is not keen for anyone to know his past. His days hanging around in lowbrow nightclubs with glamour models will, however, forever haunt this anything but a genuine journalist. Instead this peddler of poison about good people, such as Sadie Quinlan (AKA ‘Yankee Wally’), are what Omid Scobie will rightly be remembered for. Shame on him.‘Finding Freedom’ will not be remembered for its accuracy. It will, instead, be listed as a bargain bucket bag of bilge that represented nothing but a clear attack on the actual hardworking, dedicated members of the royal family.Whilst Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will forever be lauded as a wonderful lady of style, substance and service, the Duchess of Sussex will simply be remembered as a ‘Modern Day Mrs Simpson’ who cares only about money, fame and power. This decidedly deviant diva has turned her pathetic husband into a drip and she has made herself nothing but an international laughing stock. Her treatment of others –most especially her father and siblings – has been nothing but shocking and her audacity has been simply beyond the pale.
The fact that people make videos titled “Omid Scobie freaks me out!” about says it all of this tedious tittle-tattling twerp. Here is a megamouth-not-a-man who does not follow the journalistic code of citing stories with evidence. Here instead is a feckless fool who likes to reference sources unnamed and in doing so just thus proves himself to be nothing but a galavanting gossiper. If anyone truly deserves “cancelling,” here is the very finest example available currently.
Mother of God! Law firm give notice that the Duchess of Sussex’s pugnacious PR peddler Omid Scobie has been sent a cease and desist letter and reported to the Metropolitan Police regarding “the harassment, threats and stalking of Sadie Quinlan”
Legal action is being taken to attempt to end “the harassment, threats and stalking of Sadie Quinlan [AKA ‘Yankee Wally’]” by the Duchess of Sussex’s pugnacious PR peddler Omid Scobie.
In a very brief 0:31-minute segment shared on Monday by the ‘Montecito Royale’ channel on YouTube, a notice from a firm named GW Law International was shared. It announced:
“We have now taken the first steps to end the harassment, threats and stalking of Sadie Quinlan.”
“An extensive police report to the Metropolitan Police has been filed by our firm on behalf of Sadie Quinlan regarding the malicious actions of Omid William Scobie.”
“This will now be follow-up by a cease and desist letter.”
“We will take legal action if Mr. Scobie does not comply.”
“Best regards, The staff of GW Law International.”
‘Montecito Royale’ accompanied the segment – which has already been watched over 7,400 times and liked by 1,100 YouTube accounts – with the caption:
“This is an announcement regarding preparations for legal proceedings.”
“I personally advice [sic] Mr. Scobie to take note of this public notice. It is not a good look to be globally known for harassing elderly little ladies… It kind of kills your career. The court of public opinion can be very cruel.”
“Omid William Scobie has sat there in his little poncy seat like his s**t doesn’t smell. That’s basically how he’s gone about this, but behind the scenes, he’s been the dirtiest, lowlife scumbag ever and he’s been getting orders from Meghan and Harry – what to do about ‘Yankee Wally’ and this is why, everywhere I go now, I’ve been shutdown, I’ve been de-platformed and his goal is to get me off Rumble and then his job is complete.”
“He makes money by removing me, by complaining about me. Empty threats, empty complaints, I beg your pardon, with no substance, but of course the algorithms, so many of them, so many of them pick up these complaints without looking into them to see if it really is a human being complaining.”
“And I get 100 complaints because Scobie is bossing, telling Chris Bouzy what to do, so there’s money in it. There’s money travelling from Harry and Meghan to Omid Scobie to Chris Bouzy and then out to the Sussex Squad.”
“Omid Scobie is the one behind all of this. Christopher Bouzy’s still there, but he’s taking orders from Omid William Scobie and that is why he’s had the cease and desist and the police have had a big report on him.”
“So, let’s see how he behaves tomorrow. Let’s see how Christopher Bouzy behaves tomorrow. Let’s see their reactions when this gets back to them and it will.”
Today we salute Sadie Quinlan and her supporters for standing up to the cowardly Finding Freedom ‘author’ and paraphrasing Superintendent Hastings from the BBC’s hit drama series Line of Duty conclude: “Mother of God! …. Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, can we just move this thing Scobie along before it drives us all round the bloody bend?”

The ‘Finding Freedom’ author clearly ain’t having the best of months. Exposed first for the fact that he hasn’t been running an exactly ship-shape company, the mendacious minx formerly known as Meghan Markle’s PR peddler now finds himself in decidedly boiling hot water in the legal arena also.Prone to trying to erase his own past – and wouldn’t anyone want to if they could only boast of having worked at the trash-mag that is ‘Heat’ and hung out with the decidedly lowbrow lush that is Jodie Marsh – Scobie likes to give out the schtick, but he is incapable of taking it back.Sadie Quinlan is not alone in being targeted by ‘MeGain’s’ “cheerleader.” The ‘Daily Mail’s’ Richard Eden finds himself regularly targeted both by the “anti-monarchist agitator” and his tawdry associates, the extremely tedious twerps that are the ‘Sussex Squaddies.’
Matthew Steeples suggests those moaning that Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial should have been covered by the media in the same way as Johnny Depp’s libel suit do not understand the differences between the two cases; there is simply no “conspiracy” or “cover-up” going on here
In April 2014, whilst promoting the film Transcendence, Johnny Depp remarked: “People get famous now for I-don’t-know-what.” He was right and the level of interest in both his British and American court appearances and that of Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial have provided opportunity for goodness only knows how much of the dirty linen of famous faces to be grubbily bandied around.
Now, amongst others ‘blue ticked’ on Twitter Nick Adams, a “four-time best-selling author” and presidential appointee in the Trump administration, are rather stupidly asking: “Why didn’t the Ghislaine Maxwell trial have the same transparency as the Johnny Depp trial?”
Many others – including some you’d clearly expect better of – go further and ludicrously suggest it to be a “conspiracy” that Maxwell’s criminal trial wasn’t aired on television, whilst Depp’s civil trial of libel allegations has been. Quite rightly, however, this week AP News’s Angelo Fichera called out this “widely shared misinformation” for what it truly is – sheer claptrap and utter baloney.
As was also pointed out by the crusading author of Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized BiographyKirby Sommers on Twitter also, the Maxwell matter was held in a federal court and “federal courts do not allow cameras like some state courts do.” Depp’s civil suit, meanwhile, is taking place in a county circuit court and as, Fichera adds, “that court court does allow photo and video with a judge’s permission.”
Frankly, it is as simple as that and the “Conservative activist” who Fichera quoted who tweeted: “Sooooo, the Johnny Depp trial can be live streamed but the Maxwell trial can’t? Make that make sense” really ought to just learn to keep up.
Whilst many of us, myself included, would very much liked to have watched the mucky madam and daughter of a pension pot plundering and wartime murderer squirm before the cameras as she was convicted, the rules are the rules and there simply was no “gag order” in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell.
Pictured top – Though both now internationally known, the legal matters that this acclaimed actor and this notorious sex trafficking mucky madam are now forever linked to are being handled by the American legal system quite correctly. One was dealt with in a federal court whilst the other is a civil matter and that is exactly why media coverage – including most pertinently video footage – of these cases has been not-allowed and allowed respectively.
Crusading author Kirby Sommers very accurately summed up the differences between the two cases in a tweet shared on 22nd April 2022. It pointed out the differences between “federal” and “civil” case and ended: “Please learn the difference.”Self-anointed “quintessential example of a 21st American Dream story” and one-time news anchor ‘Dame’ Brigitte Gabriel – a “survivor of terrorism” and “NYT best-selling author” told her 435,800 Twitter followers: “The media live streams the Johnny Depp trial and not the Ghislaine Maxwell trial because they think we’re stupid” on 23rd April. Clearly, ‘Dame’ Brigitte ought to be sent to a school in fact checking and learn she’s been duped by what Donald Trump might term “fake news, fake news.”Equally, 2022 Republican candidate for Governor of Georgia Shane Hazel is another fine example of a boorish berk who doesn’t get it. He tweeted: “When the news covers Johnny Depp 24/7 but didn’t say shit about Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell you can be sure it’s because American billionaires are molesting kids” on 22nd April. Mr Hazel has an astonishing 38,900 followers; followers he’s clearly misleading whilst at the same time running for high office.Those claiming to be “kept in the dark” about the criminal trial of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time lover and co-conspirator in sex trafficking whilst banging on about the live-streaming of an actor’s libel action simply do not understand that there is no conspiracy going on in terms of how media coverage of such matters is handled.Twitter users have gone utterly bonkers about this, let’s be frank, non-issue. Live-streaming is allowed in some courts and it is not in others and those screaming “conspiracy” and “cover-up” from the rooftops on this subject simply need to accept that there was no “gag-order” in the case of media coverage of the pension pot plunderer’s daughter’s December 2021 trial in New York.Continuing, the anything but rational Twitterati claimed “money doesn’t talk, it shuts everyone up” whilst others suggested “LMAO” of how the French born associate of amongst others Jean-Luc Brunel, the Duke of York and Harvey Weinstein “couldn’t be recorded” whilst the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’s’ legal case can.Amongst words used of the two matters were “distractions” and “should tell you all you need to know.” Wallaby killer Russell Brand even got a mention.The very same conspiracy theorists claimed also a “media blackout” in the 2021 case whilst the 2022 one “live-streamed for all to see.” One argued: “You can clearly see the media’s agenda here” and another added: “I know which one I care about the most.” Others brought up their thoughts on Ukraine, Hunter Biden and his father, 46th President of the United States of America Joe Biden. Here are people who believe the current coverage is “a joke” yet here also are people who cannot accept that the mucky madam’s trial was heard in a federal court in New York – a place where cameras simply are not allowed to be present.“Something stinks” and “hush hush” claimed one Scot named Gordon Cameron of what he and countless others on social media believe to be a case lacking in transparency of Maxwell’s trial. He and those like him would do better to ask why none of those that the decidedly deviant mucky madam supplied her victims to have yet been brought before the justice system. As the cook and football club owner Delia Smith once slurred (whilst drunk admittedly): “Come on, let’s be ‘avin ya.”
The libel case brought by the star of ‘The Tourist’ against his ex-wife Amber Heard has descended into moments of comedy and mirth. It is completely the antithesis of the trial of the one-time lover of Prince Andrew – a trial in which victims of sex trafficking and abuse by the powerful and the privileged was very clearly highlighted. Shamefully, however, none of those other powerful and privileged individuals have yet been brought to book. With sentencing due on the 28th June in the Maxwell case, one can only hope that justice will finally be served on the other evil parties who’ve still to this day remained under the radar.
