  • Mistreatment & Meghan – Samantha Markle Speaks Sense About Lady Susan Hussey & Netflix’s ‘Harry & Meghan’

    Mistreatment & Meghan – Samantha Markle Speaks Sense About Lady Susan Hussey & Netflix’s ‘Harry & Meghan’

    WORLD EXCLUSIVE – Samantha Markle reacts to her sister Meghan’s Netflix trailer and the “inappropriate woke backlash” in the wake of the disgraceful mistreatment of Lady Susan Hussey

    “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make sense to hear the story from us?” gushes the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle in the trailer for what its promoter has deemed a “Netflix global event.” Unsurprisingly, the teaser for the forthcoming bag of bilge that has been titled Harry & Meghan has already been watched 3.9 million times on YouTube alone.

     

    Whilst a tiny minority no doubt think it acceptable for the feckless Duchess of Sussex to take a sum estimated as high as £81.3 million ($100 million, €94.9 million or درهم367.3 million) to spill her guts and those of her drippy, delusional, under-the-thumb husband without considering the fallout, her very own and by contrast sensible sister, Samantha Markle, last night reacted to it by quite rightly declaring:

     

    “As I watched the Netflix trailer, I felt as though I was watching a Neil Sedaka style music video about a couple who believe its them alone with the world against them at all the odds.”

     

    “It was my observation that with the love support and resources of the British royal family, that all of the odds were laid out before them, and in their favour until the point at which they seemingly wanted more and did not want to follow protocol, or be honest in their dealings.”

     

    “Harry claimed that he would do whatever it took to protect his ‘family.’ We are confused because for all intents and purposes, the royal family certainly is a large, lifelong family, and worthy of said protection. The implication in the trailer, though, was that his ‘family’ only includes the Montecito microcosm and excludes the royal family and the Markles.”

     

    “If they perceive their love as the two of them against the world in a Neil Sedaka style video, then it’s only them against the world, seemingly because they have lied about, isolated, attacked and damaged through public relations, a multitude of family members on both sides of the ocean.”

     

    “It seems easy for them to deflect from accountability to others and recoil into their own menagerie of a microcosm, all the while packaging it as some heroic move that is worthy of awards and music, videos, and books and Netflix series. Most amazing about that trailer is its attempt to embody a fairytale at the expense of the tragedies, and tragic endings of others.”

     

    Turning to the disgraceful debacle that has followed Ngozi Fulani’s PR stunt after her unfortunate encounter with Lady Susan Hussey and the shocking mistreatment of this 83-year-old that has followed, Samantha Markle shared:

     

    “Respectfully, I have to say that we observed it from across the pond and it was quite shocking. Everyone I know supports Lady Susan Hussey. I was shocked at the inappropriately reactive, rather than proactive woke backlash that this lovely 83-year-old royal aide has suffered to the extent of her resignation and unjust social shaming.”

     

    “I heard the questions that Lady Susan asked Miss Fulani and given several issues, I feel this was a tragic misinterpretation of communication.”

     

    “Firstly, Ms Fulani was wearing a glaringly and culturally, symbolic clothing ensemble, which would arouse curiosity and questioning by any reasonable person where the attire is not customary for the region.”

     

    “That being said, if someone were standing outside my home, wearing a Samurai ensemble or an Irish jigging ensemble or a sari, I would respectfully ask where the individual is from. If the individual said: ‘I am from here,’ I might be confused because of the unique clothing and further ask: ‘No, but where are you really from or where is your family from?’”

     

    “I would likely be fascinated, and want to know the origins of such a unique outfit and the person wearing them. I might want to know about their family, and I would be delighted to hear more. Although, somehow that it is considered rude to ask, I think that it is rude not to ask, but rather to assume or stereotype.”

     

    “Respectfully asking allows us to learn about other cultures and people, and this is how we grow and evolve in the large, multicultural world we live in.”

     

    “Also, considerable and worthy of note is the fact that Lady Susan is 83-years-old and respectfully and diligently served the royal family for many, many years. She is of a different generation to Miss Fulani, so perhaps it would have been customary in most cultures to extend respect to the elderly and realise that she has a different perspective and set of norms about cultural exchange.”

     

    “I think Lady Susan did the right thing and didn’t want to draw assumptions, but rather respected Miss Fulani by asking and caring enough to do so. Based on everything I have seen, it is my opinion that there was entrapment occurring. The set up was racially driven to stimulate controversy around the British royal family targeting an 83-year-old woman to make an example out of and to shame. It is inhumane in my opinion, and shame on those, who are so irrational, and not capable of personal integrity and maturity, or human compassion enough to find other ways to work out their personal issues regarding racism as it pertains to their own lives.”

     

    “I think Lady Susan should have also been provided with the opportunity to learn about this woman’s culture, without being dismissed and socially shamed abruptly. This could have been a win-win situation, and given all factors and variables.”

     

    “I believe that Lady Susan ought be restored of her dignity, respect, and social prestige that she has worked so long for, and does not deserve to be stripped of, because of what seems like a staged encounter to spin a narrative that raises the public hackles, and is unjustly damaging to the British royal family, and certainly to Lady Susan.”

     

    “Lady Susan should be fully exonerated and this matter of seemingly false accusations, constituting, incitement and the abuse of an elderly citizen should be investigated.”

     

    “I might also add that was has been said about Lady Susan assisting my sister at the behest of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and reporting back that my sister was allegedly difficult seems to correlate with a motive of vindication. It is also reported that there is a link between the organisation Miss Fulani represents and my sister.”

     

    “When I was getting my masters degrees and studying multicultural counseling, I learned that it is wrong to make assumptions about others cultures, and not ask questions, because that can be construed as stereotyping, and each individual within a population or cultural group, does not adhere to culturally specific norms. We respect individuals by asking them what their personal preferences are regarding communication and take it from there.”

     

    “I just wanted to qualify in case anyone wonders why I am commenting when I’m not a British citizen. We are all human and with my degree in counseling, and what I know multicultural counseling I felt it was important to mention some aspects of that matter that many may have overlooked.”

    Twitter handle
    In exclusive comments to ‘The Steeple Times’ last night, Samantha Markle shared her views on the disgraceful mistreatment of Lady Susan Hussey and her thoughts on her sister’s forthcoming Netflix series. She tellingly observed: “As I watched the Netflix trailer, I felt as though I was watching a Neil Sedaka style music video about a couple who believe its them alone with the world against them at all the odds.”
    The Sun The Mirror
    The mistreatment of Lady Susan Hussey that has followed the “racism storm” orchestrated by Ngozi Fulani’s decision to go public about something that should have been left private continues to dominate headlines. “Kiss Means War” declared ‘The Sun’ of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s “Netflix ambush” of the Prince and Princess of Wales’s US tour.

    Shared as screenshots by @lolamorrisons on Twitter an article from ‘The Sun’ that references how the late Queen tried to broker a “peace deal” provides further evidence of how mistreatment of others remains very much on the agenda of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

    On social media, mistreatment was also on the agenda as a result of the Netflix trailing airing. The @RestingDollface account mused of one image shared: “Someone please get OPRAH on the phone. She needs explain how THIS pace was ‘so small they couldn’t stand-up in it,’ because us cost-of-living struggling plebs don’t understand.”

  • Horror In The Hamptons… 2020 Coronavirus Crisis Ransackings v 2022 Cost-Of-Living Crisis Riots in This Ritzy Resort

    Horror In The Hamptons… 2020 Coronavirus Crisis Ransackings v 2022 Cost-Of-Living Crisis Riots in This Ritzy Resort

    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).

     

    David and Libbie Mugrabi
    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.
    Brock Pierce and Libbie Mugrabi
    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.
    Libbie Mugrabi
    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 Nest Seekers pesky squatter
    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.
    David Yelland tweet
    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.
    Jean Shafiroff
    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.”
    Thomas Gilbert Jr Lila Chase Chevy Chase
    “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.
    Libbie Mugrabi
    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!
  • Glued To Grimsby – News Tends To Stick In This Grim Fishing Port

    Glued To Grimsby – News Tends To Stick In This Grim Fishing Port

    As the story of a man who glued himself to a desk in a NatWest in Grimsby is declared “breaking news,” we delve into some other odd things that have gone on in this decidedly grim fishing port; they include it being the birthplace of the ‘Neighbours’ actress who played the bumptious busybody Mrs Mangel and home to the scissor stabber who used to be dresser to Sarah, Duchess of York

    ‘Grimbarians’ – the decidedly dopey denziens of Grimsby – have a habit of doing curious things. Aside from being the place where the crackpot crazy dresser to Sarah, Duchess of York turned stabber Jane Andrews grew up and supposedly again has resided since leaving the clink (and is hopefully kept well clear of scissors, cricket bats and kitchen knives), it’s a place, as The Steeple Times reported in January 2021, where a resident named Andy found an Argos sign attached to his house on New Year’s Day that year.

     

    Reported on at the time by the clearly on-the-ball, always-got-a-breaking-news-story-on-the-boil GrimsbyLive, Andy told the rag: “I’m keeping it up though I think, it is a bit funny isn’t it? I might just treat it as a bit of a late Christmas present.” He amusingly concluded: “I’ll have to set up my own click and collect.”

     

    Noted as being home to a legendary P.E. teacher named Amy Monkhouse, who the BBC describe as having “won numerous titles in the world of bowls,” Grimsby was also where the actors John Hurt and Vivean Gray – better known as ‘Mrs Mangel’ in Neighbours – were born. Now, this once thriving fishing port – which was home at one time to Maxine Carr, the sidekick of the Soham murderer Ian Huntley – is once again on the map and this time its notoriety is set to stick because of a bit of glue.

     

    Featured yesterday in the Facebook group ‘Angry People in Local Newspapers’ after becoming “breaking news” in, you’ve guessed it, the fount of all knowledge that is GrimsbyLive came a vital story titled: “Man glues himself to desk in Grimsby NatWest bank. His wife has been watching on from the side.”

     

    Written by not one but two journalists, Luke Green and James J. Turner, this clearly vitally important piece of reporting emphasised the seriousness of what had occured and continued:

     

    “At around 3pm this afternoon (Thursday, November 17th), a man reportedly glued his arm to a table in the bank on Victoria Street. Officers from Humberside Police are already on the scene dealing with the matter.”

     

    “It’s not yet known why the man has done this although it is believed to be linked to some sort of dispute with the bank. Witnesses say his unimpressed wife has been watching on from the side.”

     

    Going further and clearly realising the vital need for updates on this ‘serious situation,’ Green and Turner audaciously added:

     

    “One man said: ‘I was very surprised to see him glued there, it’s not what I thought.’ Another customer said: ‘I didn’t realise that’s what had happened, that’s not what I expected.’”

     

    “GrimsbyLive has contacted Humberside Police and NatWest to find out more.”

     

    “This is a live blog. Follow the latest updates in the blog below…”

     

    Hold the front page; there’s someone glued to it.

     

    Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party (and nor was any glue was used in its creation).

     

    What an idiot
    Clear ‘journalist’ in-line for Pulitzer Prize James J. Turner later returned to his groundbreaking feature to add an update. It read: “One woman that came into use the bank said: ‘What an idiot.’” Prophetic.
    Evil murderer Jane Andrews (pictured left running with Sarah, Duchess of York in attire not exactly suited to such and pictured right in more recent times looking like what one social media user described as “a right old slapper”) is one of the better-known people to have resided in a town that took its name from a Danish fisherman. After battering her poor partner, Tommy Cressman, to death with his cricket bat and a kitchen knife, she went on the run before residing in London with the self-declared friend of the pompous “red socked fop” tw*t Sir Christopher Meyer, Basia Briggs, during her trial in 2001. Later, after being thrown in the clink for life after her conviction for murder, this wicked woman escaped from East Sutton Park Prison in Kent but did not even get charged with absconding.
    Whilst Elton John waxed lyrical about Grimsby in his song – with lines including “there’s nothing to compare with my Grimsby,” “Grimsby, oh, a thousand delights” and “I miss your magic charm” – one visitor remarked of it: “The place just stinks of fish.”
    “He who sang in the bathtub as the economy collapsed,” former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont, was brought up in the port town whilst “Brexit means Brexit, my deal means a deal” Theresa May visited in March 2019 to declare: “I need the support of those who, like me, voted remain… Leaving with a good deal is much than leaving with no deal… The British people have already moved on… So, let’s get it done.” Unsurprisingly, her tenure as Prime Minister ended just a couple of months later.
    Vivean Gray (1924 – 2016) – better known as the actress to have played the gossiping busybody Nell Mangel in ‘Neighbours’ between 1986 and 1988 – was the daughter of a Grimsby fish and chip shop owner. She never married or had any children, lived in Australia for some years from the 1950s onwards and then returned to England to Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex where she is said to have “lived a quiet and private life.”
    In February 2015, a UKIP politician named Victoria Ayling from the port town responded to a comment from a Green Party member by asking: “What happens when renewable energy runs out?” This clearly dimwitted dunce had previous been slammed after film a video with her husband in which she raged: “We must basically [re]patriate those that shouldn’t be here. That’s not quite policy yet. Maybe I should soften it a bit … OK, send them back… OK, I just want to send the lot back, but I can’t say that.”
    Bull Sand Fort Humber Estuary
    Clearly though some people do love this town on the Humber Estuary. In July this year, a derelict Second World War sea fort that had been intended for conversion to an ‘Island of Hope’ for detoxing druggies, sold for 880% above its £50,000 guide price and hammered down for £490,000 at a Savills auction.

    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.”

     

    Only now speaking out after being effectively ‘cancelled’ by ITV after they “paused” filming of her Ferne McCann: First Time Mum series, Miss McCann pathetically first got ‘unnamed sources’ (surprise, surprise) to claim “this is part of an ongoing hate campaign against her” and to suggest those sharing them were “sick” and “disgusting.”

     

    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!

    Philip Schofield not sorry GB News
    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.
    Ferne McCann Arthur Collins 1
    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.
    Ferne McCann Arthur Collins Victims
    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.
    Sophie Hall victim acid attack
    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.

    Monster of the Moment 2022 – Vile Ferne McCann Exposed For Attacking Acid Attack Victims

    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).

    Arthur Collins and Ferne McCann Candy Killer
    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.
    Sir Cliff Richard
    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 6: A 22-year-old woman, sustained chemical burns, affecting neck, upper chest, abdomen and lower limbs.
    • Victim 7: A 23-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, affected forehead and swollen left eye and corneal abrasion.
    • Victim 8: A 29-year-old man, suffered chemical burns, splash marks over his face.
    • Victim 9: A 25-year-old man, sustained first degree chemical burns to right cheek and neck and upper limbs.
    • Victim 10: A 20-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns to right shoulder and back.
    • Victim 11: A 25-year-old woman, sustained reddening and irritation to skin on foot.
    • Victim 12: A 24-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, splash marks affected posterior and left lower leg. One per cent of total body surface area affected.
    • Victim 13: A 22-year-old woman, suffered burn splash marks on the back of her right leg.
    • Victim 14: A 23-year-old man, sustained chemical burns, corneal injury with cloudiness in the right eye.
    • Victim 15: A 19-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns on her left leg.
    • Victim 16: A 23-year-old woman, suffered chemical burns, splash marks to left arm, shoulder and forehead.

  • A Question Of Clinton – Bill Clinton Quizzed About Involvement With Evil Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

    A Question Of Clinton – Bill Clinton Quizzed About Involvement With Evil Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

    As sex abuse victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre concludes matters with lawyer Alan Dershowitz with a very clear “dismissed with prejudice and without costs or award of fees to either party” agreement, Bill Clinton gets questioned about his involvement with croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein

    Whilst many have quite wrongly got het up about the legal action of Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Alan Dershowitz ending – especially given the judgment clearly stated that the case was concluded with a perfectly clear “dismissed with prejudice and without costs or award of fees to either party” agreement on 8th November in New York – the key question of who actually Ghislaine Maxwell trafficking her victims to remains unanswered.

     

    Firstly, it must be highlighted that Ms Roberts Giuffre was not a participant in the 2021 case that led to the conviction of the sex trafficking nonce daughter of the ‘Bouncing Czech’ – she had settled with her in June 2017 “with  Maxwell reportedly paying Giuffre ‘millions’” – and secondly that the matter of Giuffre v Dershowitz is unrelated to the settlement the 39-year-old Sacramento born campaigner reached with the man whom claimed never to have met her, Prince Andrew, in February 2022.

     

    Secondly, though many are now yet again calling into question the reliability of Roberts Giuffre, she also received a settlement from Jeffrey Epstein in 2009. Previously abused by a “close family friend” aged just seven and also bythe international sex trafficker Ron Eppinger aged just fourteen, here is a lady who genuinely has been a victim of abuse for most of her life and here someone who now helps others through her Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) non-profit.

     

    Speaking of developments on the Megyn Kelly show on Sirius XM yesterday, Dershowitz stated that Roberts Giuffre’s claims were a “terrible mistake that cause me a lot of grief.” He added that he now wanted to “wish her well” and remarked: “As far as I’m concerned the matter is now resolved and we can all go on living our lives, me with a clean record.”

     

    Elsewhere this week, in a connected development relating to a man who flew at least 26 times (and possibly many more times) on Jeffrey Epstein’s repugnant ‘Lolita Express’ private jet whilst numerous victims of sexual abuse were present also, a journalist named Juan Mendoza filmed himself confronting President Bill Clinton.

     

    He subsequently shared his clip on Twitter and accompanied it with commentary that read: “Do you have comments on the alleged – allegation of your connection with Jeffrey Epstein?” In the video footage, very clearly the 42nd POTUS bizarrely burst out laughing and answered: “I think the evidence is clear.”

     

    Again raising questions as to how connected President Clinton was with both Epstein and Maxwell – who even attended his daughter Chelsea’s wedding in Rhinebeck, New York in July 2010 – this new evidence does not prove that this politician was involved in their evil activities, but it does show that he thinks the whole thing a bit of a hoot.

     

    It is now time that the mucky madam Maxwell fessed up and as she faces the chance in June 2023 to get her sentence reduced, it wouldn’t do the wicked wastrel any harm if she actually did declare the names of those who she actually did sex traffic her victims to.

     

    Follow SOAR | Speak Out, Act, Reclaim on Twitter at @speakoutactrclm.

     

    Juan Moore News tweet
    Juan Mendoza captioned his tweet: “I confronted @BillClinton at the rally he held with @RepCuellar in Laredo about his alleged connections to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. ‘I think the answer is clear’” and later corrected it with a second tweet reading: “Correction: ‘I think the evidence is clear.’”
    Virginia Roberts Giuffre Alan Dershowitz
    The ending of the Giuffre v Dershowitz case does not change the fact that the plaintiff was abused by numerous others and that she and numerous others were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their numerous cohorts. It is time that these famous faces were named and shamed and brought to justice.
    SOAR Virginia Roberts Giuffre
    The non-profit run by Virginia Giuffre, Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), is indicative of her dedication to now supporting helping other victims of sex trafficking get help and “reclaim their stories and stand up for themselves.”
    Jeffrey Epstein
    Jeffrey Epstein with the 42nd President of the United States of America on one of the many occasions they spent days and days together. If you’d spent as much time as the Arkansas born politician did with the Ponzi schemer turned paedophile, you’d surely know something about what he was upto with the young women who accompanied him (even if you did not participate in it). You’d surely also have realised how very wrong this was and you’d have surely also have ended all contact with said monster.
    Ghislaine Maxwell Jeffrey Epstein Bill Clinton
    The former President living it up with two of his chums whilst in residence in the White House – both of them subsequently convicted sex offenders and both of them people he chose to spend time with on multiple occasions without questioning what they were upto or having his security detail check them out either.
    Wedding
    Even after her lover Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sex offences in 2008, the Clinton family continued to welcome Ghislaine Maxwell in spite of the fact that she herself was linked to these crimes. The evil pension pot plunderer’s daughter even attended the 42nd POTUS’s daughter’s wedding in Rhinebeck, New York in July 2010 and sat front row. They do say: “If you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas” and in this case that adage most definitely applies.
  • Spare Us Meghan Markle – Samantha Markle On Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’

    Spare Us Meghan Markle – Samantha Markle On Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’

    WORLD EXCLUSIVE – Samantha Markle shares her thoughts on Prince Harry’s tittle-tattling tome ‘Spare’ with ‘The Steeple Times’; she slams it as likely “cold, malicious and reckless” and wishes he’d “spare us all the hypocritical pity party”

    Following on from our interview with Samantha Markle yesterday – quoted extensively elsewhere including by Richard Eden for the Daily Mail and Jack Wright for MailOnline this morning – we today publish the thoughts of the estranged half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex on her husband’s forthcoming tittle-tattling tome, Spare.

     

    In comments exclusively to The Steeple Times via email, Ms. Markle observed:

     

    “With regard to the book Spare, I have [like the rest of the planet, obviously] not read it [yet], but the idea that there was an alleged request or appeal for money between Harry and King Charles and when King Charles turned him down, reportedly he said he would go ahead with the book seems like extortion on the surface and blackmail.”

     

    “We can only hope that the book will not be slanderous and scandalous, but after everything that has transpired it seems like such a cold, malicious and reckless disregard for his own family especially the father who has given him everything. Just like my father gave my sister everything, they seem to be two peas in a pod where using and disposing of others, when they don’t get their way is concerned. Some people are not capable of empathy remorse shame or gratitude.”

     

    “In all of the pictures that were salient in the media throughout his life, Harry never seemed to be unhappy as a member of the royal family so [his] statement now does not intersect with visible evidence of a lifespan.”

     

    “Many around the world have noticed the same thing. it almost seems like grasping for straws as a coping strategy for the discomfort of being in denial.”

     

    “More than anything what is glaring is that while he posits the idea of mental health as being so important, neither he nor my sister seem to have any regard for the mental health of their families and others whom they have stepped on. They preach about peoples’ voices needing to be heard but they don’t care about the voices of those whom they have knowingly wronged. Their hypocrisy has been noted globally.”

     

    “Prince William has honoured the legacy of his mother beautifully and carried on with integrity and loyalty. [He understands the concept of] role models [and the] importance of family. Prince Harry, on the other hand, seems to use the victim card as a crutch for accountability and integrity in every area of his life, in my opinion. I like the title of the book only in that maybe he should ‘spare’ us all the hypocritical pity party.”

     

    Turning to her thoughts on the reaction to her interview yesterday with The Steeple Times, Ms. Markle concluded:

     

    “This was an excellent article and I’m so grateful to you for your objective, honest overview.”

     

    “Everyone else was afraid to tell the truth and an attorney in London told me that there was an entrenched media agenda against me. PRs were being paid to write nasty articles about me and everytime I would speak the truth, it never got printed.”

    Pictured top – Samantha Markle (left); The Duke of Sussex’s book has already been embarrassingly reduced to the bargain basement bin at Waterstones – where it is priced at £14 down from £28 (centre); the mendacious menace, the Duchess of Sussex, will no doubt be less than amused to learn of the bookseller’s move and of her sibling’s latest comments.

     

    With his tackily titled book already in the half-price bargain basement bin, the Duke of Sussex will likely to turn to the rotten weasel PR peddler Omid Scobie to help him flog a few extra copies.
    Christopher Bouzy
    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no doubt also engage the vile trashbag troll Christopher Bouzy also. He was quite rightly called out by Samantha Markle yesterday and currently, very deservedly, also has legal troubles of his own.
    Markus Anderson
    Another oddity the pair could turn to for assistance in PR-ing the pointless, pitiful book is Markus Anderson. A PR party or two at Soho House, perhaps?
    On Twitter, the half-sibling of the Duchess of Sussex slammed her and stated: “My grandmother would roll over in her grave to see what my sister has done to this family and I think it disgraces the family name. My dad worked very hard at his craft and did a sensational job, to give us the life that we had. #Markle.”
    Twitter 2
    Going further, Samantha Markle modestly added: “And like any family, we are not perfect, but we are far from what the media have portrayed us as and did not deserve that. It’s OK, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and we all know it gives us a great sense of humour!”

    Samantha Markle Speaks – Samantha Markle Returns To Twitter

    WORLD EXCLUSIVE – ‘The Steeple Times’ interviews Samantha Markle – the sensible sister of the mendacious meddler formerly known as Meghan Markle – as she returns to Twitter courtesy of Elon Musk’s reopening of the social media network

    Samantha Markle, like her father, did not choose the glare of public spotlight. Forced into it courtesy of her heartless half-sister ‘bagging’ Prince Harry in 2019 and then treated like a pariah by this mendacious meddling actress turned international nuisance, here is a lady who, like many, got quite disgracefully deplatformed by the woke wazzocks who formerly controlled Twitter.

     

    Now, courtesy of Elon Musk taking ownership in the last week, the elder sibling of the Duchess of Sussex has been quite justifiably allowed to return to the medium.

     

    Asked of what she thought of joining Kanye West in getting back into the Twittersphere, Ms Markle – who submitted court filings earlier this month that suggested she’d had her “life turned upside down by the royal sister’s faithful fans and others” – exclusively told The Steeple Times:

     

    “Thank you so much Matthew! My dad is making good strides daily and that’s a blessing! Thank you for asking!”

     

    “I am really happy to be on Twitter after being unjustly targeted and shut down by bots and trolls falsely reporting my account. Prior to that I was hacked out of several accounts, so they tried to spin information to look like I was circumventing.”

     

    “Chris Bouzy and Twitter trolls bragged and took credit for getting me shut down.”

     

    “The only time I was legitimately restricted on Twitter was for mentioning Ivermectin because I shared a medical article about it. Medical articles are not disinformation.”

     

    “I’m glad that Elon musk is going to save free speech and [turn] Twitter into a greater platform than it has ever been. We can all have our opinions, and disagree. Elon Musk wants to make it fair for both the right and the left equally. Differing opinions and controversy make people think and grow.”

     

    “If we all agreed, we would never grow. The free flow of information is critical to progress, and people should be allowed to process it independently rather than being censored or brainwashed.”

     

    “I believe that this will be a historically positive change for our social and economic world. That free flow of information being taken out of the hands of the radically oppressive left will allow us to thrive as a society and as an economy. I think it’s going to be very exciting! I’d like to see Elon Musk buy Google!”

     

    Somewhat controversially, before signing off, she added:

     

    “And let’s not forget Donald Trump is going to get the world back on the right track.”

     

    Watch out ‘MeGain’ – Your sensible sister Samantha was never going to be silenced and as much as you wish to spin out nonsense in Spare, the world will be watching and waiting as you yet again bring shame on the hapless House of Sussex.

    Twitter
    The half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex now has her account back. We urge readers to join us in following her as she takes on a sibling whose antics are quite frankly nothing other than noxious.
    Sisters
    The two sisters pictured together in happier times. How different things could have been if Prince Harry’s wicked wife had simply included her birth family in the fold.
    Family
    Prince Harry’s wife is attempting to block her half-sister from deposing him and her father Thomas in her defamation lawsuit it was reported earlier this month. According to ‘Hello!’ earlier this month: “[Her legal team] have requested a judge stop the process of collecting and releasing evidence until a ruling on whether the lawsuit should be entirely thrown out. They argue that Meghan’s statements about her relationship with Samantha are ‘non-actionable opinion that are also substantially true… A deposition of Mr. Markle at this juncture, along with other discovery, would be an unnecessary spectacle and waste of the parties’ time, money, and resources,’ their filing read, via the publication. ‘[Samantha Markle] should not be permitted to force Meghan and, potentially, numerous non-parties to devote substantial resources to extraneous discovery while a meritorious motion that could dispose of the entire case is pending.’”

    What’s the truth about the stories that abound about the Duchess of Sussex?

    • In November 2021, the duchess was forced to apologise to the Appeal Court in London for making a misleading statement in her privacy case against The Mail on Sunday’s publishers.
    • Her very own father, Thomas, has called out her many untruths about him and others again, again and again.
    • 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 shown 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.
    • “Would you trust this woman with a bargepole?” is something often asked of this money motivated menace.

     

  • A Mucky Marriage – Will Prince Andrew Remarry Fergie? Did They Ever Repay The Paedo Jeffrey Epstein?

    A Mucky Marriage – Will Prince Andrew Remarry Fergie? Did They Ever Repay The Paedo Jeffrey Epstein?

    As “rumours” circulate that ‘Randy Andy’ and ‘Feckless Fergie’ might remarry again do the rounds, we again ask: “Did they ever repay loans taken from the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?”

    Yesterday, repeating a story that occasionally does the rounds, Entertainment Daily’s Julia Hunt asked: “Are Prince Andrew and Fergie to remarry in the wake of [his] sex scandal?”

     

    Claiming the couple “have been plagued by rumours they could remarry recently,” former Bang Showbiz and Press Association freelance writer Hunt quoted a September 2021 feature by Vanity Fair’s royal ‘expert’ Katie Nicholl as her primary evidence. In it, Nicholl – best known for crashing Kate Moss’s 30th birthday party at Claridge’s and discovering guests on the hokey-cokey – shared:

     

    “Sarah and Andrew have been closer than ever in the past year. They still love and care for each other a great deal and have been living together during the pandemic.”

     

    “It has rekindled something and I can see a second wedding happening if it [the Virginia Roberts Giuffre lawsuit] all goes Andrew’s way.”

     

    Whilst Hunt’s update is clearly nothing but idle gossip produced without the citing of any new sources, last week the MailOnline’s Jack Wright revealed that the non-sweaty, Pizza Express loving mate of the alleged fraudster Bernie Ecclestone that is the Duke of York “barely leaves home.” He has been left wondering how his reputation has been left in tatters by his friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein” and is said to be enduring a “period of intense self-reflection.”

     

    Going further of a “virtual recluse” who has been left wondering “how everything went so wrong,” Wright turned to a previous article from The Telegraph and quoted yet another unnamed source, a “friend,” who stated:

     

    “He has a much better understanding of the challenges he faces than at any other point in his life. He has a better sense of perspective – partly because he’s had these three years to reflect – to do the work, and to focus on his immediate family. The Duke of York of today is much more thoughtful and more mindful than he has ever been.”

     

    “He acknowledges privately that Newsnight was by no means his finest hour.”

     

    “The feeling that he has been treated abysmally is held by his nearest and dearest, but the duke’s attitude is more along the lines of: It is what it is.”

     

    Clearly, though these ‘sources’ could be as made up as the spoof ‘Sir Michael Take CBE’ Twitter account that so successfully conned the MailOnline’s non-fact checking Elizabeth Haigh this morning (see below), things that seem unlikely do often occur in the royal family.

     

    However, whilst the mainstream media may be asking if wedding bells will be again ringing for ‘Randy Andy’ and ‘Feckless Fergie,’ today we return to a question we will keep on asking of the money motivated duo and that is: “Did you ever repay the loans you took from the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein?”

     

    The friendship between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein dated back to the 1990s. In that time, both him and his ex-wife enjoyed hospitality and financial benefits from the since croaked paedophile without consideration of where the Ponzi scheming crook was actually getting his wonga from.
    The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York did not think to question where the money they happily grabbed came from and they did not question what the mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell was doing with the young girls she so eagerly sex trafficked for Epstein either. How terribly convenient.
    On Thursday 20th August 1992, the ‘Daily Mirror’ shared what they called “the pictures they didn’t want you to see.” In them, a topless Duchess of York was shown having her toes sucked in the South of France by a Texan millionaire named John Bryan. Of the incident, the ‘Mirror’ later reported: “Royal writer Richard Kay claimed in the ‘Daily Mail’ that he received a message via pager from Princess Diana the night before the photos hit the newspaper stands. Diana’s message was simple: ‘The redhead’s in trouble.’” If she were now to remarry the Duke of York, would it be accepted or would there be even more trouble?
    Sir Michael Take
    This morning on Twitter, editor of ‘The Steeple Times’ Matthew Steeples shared a tweet about another example of ‘fake news’ shared by the ‘MailOnline’s’ Elizabeth Haigh. Accompanying a quoted tweet, Steeples observed: “The @MailOnline has been caught out by a spoof Twitter account. Sir Michael TAKE certainly TOOK some pillock on the paper. Retraction? Apology? I doubt it. #fakenews #dailymail #mailonline #youvebeenhad.” It is likely that ‘Entertainment Daily’s’ Julia Hunt has been similarly caught out with her story about the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York considering remarriage, but who knows with ‘Needy’ and ‘Greedy’ … Stranger things could and have already happened.

    The Weird Words of “Greedy” and “Needy” Sarah, Duchess of York

    Of sex, her and goats: “One of the worst headlines said 82% [of the population] would rather sleep with a goat than Fergie. It’s never left me.”

     

    Of the royal family: “They tried to put the little redhead in a cage.”

     

    Of her life: “I have been in the gutter.”

     

    Of food, family and dining: “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.”

     

    Of wanting to be a television star: “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.”

     

    Of when she decided she wanted to bag a royal: “I met [Prince Andrew] when I was 12, and I said: ‘I’m going to marry him.’”

     

    Of marriage, divorce and work: “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.”

     

    Of her many, many mistakes: “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, over-trusting, idiotic, stupid woman that went to look for the perfect situation, and that’s all I can say really.”

     

  • Hero of the Hour 2022 – ‘Derek’ The Doncaster Jackdaw

    Hero of the Hour 2022 – ‘Derek’ The Doncaster Jackdaw

    As residents of a village near Doncaster call a jackdaw named ‘Derek’ “horrible” and a “menace,” Facebook’s ‘Angry People in Local Newspapers’ group unsurprisingly tear these nasty NIMBYs apart

    There are 1.4 million breeding pair of western jackdaws (corvus mondeula) in the United Kingdom according to the RSPB’s A-Z of Birds and they are quite rightly protected by The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

     

    Known for the “metallic chack of its call,” this small, black crow with “noticeable” pale eyes and a “distinctive silvery sheen” is lauded as “intelligent” and “subtly handsome.” They are loved by many, but the majority of the residents of Rossington, near Doncaster have come out to share their hatred of one particular example who frequents their locality.

     

    The bird in question – which has, for some unknown reason, been named ‘Derek’ – was featured on the Facebook group ‘Angry People in Local Newspapers’ [APILN] today after the Doncaster Free Press’s Darren Burke reported that locals have decided “the thing is a menace” earlier this morning.

     

    Reporting on how the jackdaw in question has “been bringing fear to Rossington for a number of years,” the clearly wild bird – which most are ridiculously claiming to be a “domesticated pet” – stands accused of “divebombing” children and attacking workers. It has been termed “horrible” and one resident went as far as to rage: “I will shoot the thing and I don’t give a sh*t who owns it.”

     

    Rather like with a pugnacious pensioner named John Aeberhard of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire – who wanted to electrocute otters and catch herons in wires and whom was featured in The Steeple Times after being highlighted on APILN in March 2020 – the hateful people of this South Yorkshire former mining village clearly have no appreciation of the “gregarious” nature of a bird that Shootinguk observes: “Can be taught to imitate the human voice. Like all crows, they are the most intelligent of birds.”

     

    Derek is clearly too bright for the ‘Doleites’ (the regional nickname for locals) of Doncaster; one can only hope he flies off to pastures new before he meets a sticky end at the hands of the nasty NIMBYs of Rossington.

     

    Residents of Rossington on ‘Derek’:

    Known originally as ‘daws’ (a name meaning “knavish or stupid person”), the Old English ‘jack’ (referencing “something small”) was added in the 16th century. A collective name for a group of them is a “clattering” – as Shootinguk claims it “perfectly evokes the noise made by a large group travelling between roosts and feeding grounds.”

     

    Of this now infamous example of a bird that has wingspan average of 70cm and which normally lives for 5 to 6 years, residents of Rossington told Darren Burke:

     

    Against (the majority):

    • “Horrible.”
    • “A menace.”
    • “That bloody bird.”
    • “Cannot stand the bird.”
    • “The thing is a menace.”
    • “It comes to something when kids can’t even go into their own garden without being petrified because of that bloody bird divebombing them trying to attack them.”
    • “To whomever owns the horrible thing, if you want to try domesticate a bird like that then keep it at home because if it hurts my kids there will be hell to pay and I don’t care who that offends.”
    • “The thing is a menace, attacking kids in school playground, on the street, in their own garden. If it was any other animal it would have been put to sleep following the first attack on a child.”
    • “Angry isn’t the word. I don’t care who thinks I’m overreacting or it’s just a bird but it could take someone’s eye out.”
    • “They got made to come in and have indoor break at school last week coz [he] was attacking kids on playground.”
    • “Me and my colleague was working outside at a customer’s house and got ambushed by [him]. He’s an absolute terror.”
    • “I hope it doesn’t attack one of my grandkids. I will shoot the thing and I don’t give a sh*t who owns it.”
    • “A horrible, nasty little thing.”
    • “A feathered fiend.”
    • “Demonic.”

     

    In favour (the minority):

    • “Good old Derek.”
    • “It’s a wild bird, no one owns it.”
    • “My kids were feeding him earlier, he’s ace.”
    • “Does it wear a balaclava and ride a quad? It’s a bird!”
    • “Derek’s mint! Just carry a bag of crisps and he will love you forever lol [sic] he just wants to be your friend!”
    • “My daughter has told me a few times that Derek has caused all the kids to go inside at play time at school she said most of the kids love him.”
    • “Poor Derek – I know the bird please leave it alone it means no harm.”
    • “The village mascot.”

     

    In March 2021, Darren Burke tweeted a plea for stories. Plainly lacking in breaking news content this week, he wrote of ‘Derek’ the Doncaster jackdaw’s antics rather than Shell’s massive profits or Elon Musk taking over Twitter, but most curiously did not cite the names of a single one of his sources.

    Of his something he’d written yesterday about the Don Valley MP Nick Fletcher declaring he’d be backing Rishi Sunak, Mr Burke observed this morning: “Looks like a few of my words today have ruffled a few feathers. Good. It’s what we’re here to do.” Clearly, the local journalist was anticipating his plans for his next story on “the thing is a menace” bird, Derek.

    Mr Burke clearly moved on from his “horrible bird” story, published on the morning of Thursday 27th October 2022, as by the early afternoon he was tweeting about “threats” he’d received from those that had read his works on Twitter. Of these, he remarked: “One of the favourite ‘threats’ I have as a journalist is when an angry individual tells you they have screenshots of the conversation you’ve had with them. What you gonna do, send ‘em to King Charles? Joe Biden? Putin?”
    A stunningly filmed ‘must watch’ YouTube video by North Yorkshire based Robert E. Fuller – viewed over 5.2 million times already since being uploaded in May 2021 – features a kestrel defending its nest against a jackdaw. The tenacity of both is simply amazing; clearly the people of Rossington, Doncaster ought to appreciate their enthusiastic resident a little bit more.
