Judge in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial to be recommended for a promotion by President Biden thus giving more uncertainty to how the mucky madam’s trial will proceed; is Judge Nathan being knocked out?
In a month when the CEO of Barclays Jes Staley and the editor of the Daily Mail Geordie Greig – both once very powerful men who’ve had close associations with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein – departed their positions just prior to the alleged mucky madam’s trial, one wouldn’t have expected any further earthquake-like ruckuses.
This, however, is a case far from normal and aside from thus far involving both President Clinton and President Trump, now President Biden is set to stick his oar in by promoting the judge in the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter’s case to a higher office.
According to a report in the New York Post late last week, “U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan will be recommended for an appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit” and going further of this news, the DailyMail.com confirmed: “New York senator announced he is going to recommend [this] to President Biden.”
The paper’s Melissa Koenig and Daniel Bates added: “[This sparks] concerns about possible ethical conflicts” and could pull Judge Nathan “away from a very time-consuming trial.” Such a move, if it occurs, undoubtedly will put a serious spanner in the works of this trial and would likely result in it being delayed into 2022 or beyond to allow a new judge to be put in place.
Of this latest curious development, a former friend of Ghislaine Maxwell who knew her in both London and New York who did not wish to be named last night told The Steeple Times:
“This is all so convenient and yet again it is staring to stink of ‘what Ghislaine wants, Ghislaine gets.’ She was always a woman with an ability to twist a situation to get what she wanted out of it. I suspect those infamous missing tapes from Epstein’s secret camera stash could be part of why this is now happening. It’s a disgrace that three Presidents are so willingly playing along to her tune.”
In another development yesterday, Scottsdale, Arizona based criminal defence attorney Robert Gruler, Esq. shared a video on 14:43-minute YouTube with his 128,000 subscribers discussing whether the so-called “black book” did or did not belong to Ghislaine Maxwell and whether it will be admissible during her trial.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s contradictory whining about “rotten” food and prison guards who both abuse and “play-peek-a-boo” with her illustrate she shares her deceased dad’s deviancy
Aside from “blowing kisses” to her sister in court last week and allegedly heading towards a plea of insanity to try and postpone her trial, Ghislaine Maxwell has yet again been playing up. Here, indeed, is an example of someone who has never considered the concept of “if you’re in a hole, you stop digging.”
Grubby grabber Ghislaine Maxwell gyrating with mate since the early 2000s Geordie Greig behind her. In September 2018, Eton and Oxford educated Greig became editor of the ‘Daily Mail’ and stories published in support of those he knows are often described as having been ‘FOGged’ (‘Friend of Geordie-ed’) and yesterday’s feature was definitely an example of such.
Predictably printed by the Mail on Sunday – a paper linked to her Daily Mail editor chum Geordie Greig and ultimately owned by the Rothermere family – alleged mucky madam Maxwell yesterday gave an “exclusive” prior to this week’s jury selection in which she clearly contradicted herself.
After pathetically bleating that she has been “abused” by prison guards “who make her life a misery,” the wicked wastrel bizarrely stated:
“I play peek-a-boo, hiding behind pillars and the guards join in. There are always smiles all round. Then I have a ‘monster move’ where I raise my hands and growl and they do it back. We laugh.”
Aside from that hardly sounding “abusive,” going further, Maxwell moaned:
“I have been assaulted and abused for almost a year and a half.”
“I have not had a nutritious meal in all that time. I haven’t slept without lights on – fluorescent lights that have damaged my eyes – or been allowed to sleep without constant interruptions.”
“I am weak, I am frail. I have no stamina. I am tired. I don’t even have shoes which fit properly. They feed me rotten food. One apple had maggots in it. I have not been allowed to exercise.”
“In my most recent court appearance, I was in leg irons for more than 12 hours and had to climb up and down stairs with my arms and legs shackled to my waist. My ankles are raw.”
“I was given a pat-down so aggressive and violent, my underwear found itself in a place it doesn’t belong. The first underwear they gave me were enormous granny pants. You could have put five of me in them. I’ll spare you descriptions of the stains.”
“When I pick up the phone to make a – perfectly legitimate – call, the guards rush towards me with such speed it leaves them breathless. They report on everything I do – in real time.”
“I’ve been given food so over-nuked it looked like Chernobyl after the nuclear fallout. The salads are wilted with mould, an apple had maggots, they gave me a black soggy banana. There was bread so wet, water came out when you squeezed it.”
“I used to take a shower every day but I’ve stopped because of the creepy guards who stand close and stare at me the whole time.”
“I used to go to the loo with an open sewer drain and a friendly rat would regularly visit. I told the guards, but nothing was done until the rat popped out and charged a guard, who screamed in terror. Finally, the sewer drain was covered.”
Speaking more generally, the associate of Prince Andrew and the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein added:
“I give a five-day meal plan for $10 [£7.50], but post-pandemic I had to increase it to $15. Guards from out of town ask for tips which include where to get the best pizza, my favourite food carts. They ask me what I’m reading and I share my favourite books.”
“They were impressed when I cut my hair with nail clippers and it was somewhat straight. I only had a 3in by 5in mirror. They rewarded me with paper scissors and suggested I might want to open a salon.”
“Being tagged a ‘socialite’ feels derogatory and sexist, designed to paint me in a negative light. I’ve worked my entire life, starting with part-time jobs when I was 15. No man who had a similar professional career would be called a socialite. I’m overwhelmed by feelings of sadness and shock at the grotesque and untrue narratives that are total fabrication and bear no resemblance to reality.”
“I’m terrified the overwhelmingly negative coverage will poison my jury pool and affect the outcome of my trial, despite the evidence which I feel confident will prove my innocence. I look forward to having my day in court to prove I played no part in Epstein’s crimes. I am innocent.”
Elsewhere in the paper, providing further evidence as to why she has quite rightly repeatedly been denied bail, “decorated former Paratrooper” turned “security expert” Matt Hellyer declared that he had been hired by his friend Kevin Maxwell “within hours of [Jeffrey] Epstein’s death” to “put the world off the scent.”
Of this use of the ‘distraction technique,’ Hellyer remarkably claimed:
“We went to an agency in France. A security collaborating agency. They found us two people who resembled Ghislaine and her brother Kevin.”
“They strolled in Paris for a couple of days and we leaked it to a newspaper. That is how we distracted the attention away from where Ghislaine really was. She was in the US at all times.”
“Ghislaine was not running from the authorities, she was running from the media. And, you know, many people don’t believe Epstein killed himself. So, we were also hired to protect her from a potential killer.”
“Our assignment was to get her out of her home within 12 hours of Epstein’s death. She was worried about Scott’s kids. She didn’t want the cameras around them or anything to happen that could affect their lives. I told her we could fly her out of the country immediately. She refused.”
“She did exactly what she was told by us. She did not run from the authorities like some have claimed.”
Quoting another source, the Mail on Sunday concluded:
“Everyone loved the Paris sighting… Sometimes it’s a matter of giving the people what they want. The sighting kept everyone happy for a while and sent the dogs barking down the wrong trail. She never left America.”
Rotten Maxwell – The patience of the Hon. Alison J. Nathan, Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, is clearly tired by Ghislaine Maxwell’s repeated attempts at getting bail and her “spoilt brat” antics.Rotten Maxwell – Aside from rotten-to-her-core Maxwell’s family using their RealGhislaine.com website to spread nonsense about her alleged mistreatment – remember that this is a woman currently in jail facing charges of abusing other women – the likes of chef Keith McNally have been effectively assisting her by tweeting in support of the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter.Rotten Maxwell – Another supporter of the mucky madam Maxwell (pictured right with her croaked ‘bestie’ paedophile Jeffrey Epstein) is the deservedly disgraced ex-solicitor Malcolm Grumbridge. In August this year, Mr Grumbridge was described by ‘The Times’ as having “been a mysterious figure during his more than four-decade legal and business career… [who has been] at the heart of the Maxwells’ opaque finances, setting up and owning companies on behalf of the brothers Kevin and Ian Maxwell.”Rotten Maxwell – The Maxwell family’s curious ‘network’ of associates and supporters currently also includes the PR peddler Brian Basham, the supposed ‘writer’ for ‘Politicalite’ Jay Beecher and the “memory lapsed” moron once accused of shoplifting, Richard Madeley.
Examples of rotten-to-her-core Ghislaine Maxwell’s deviancy
Previous bail applications on the part of “wannabe insane” Maxwell have been denied for various reasons and amongst the evidence that suggests she’s as trustworthy as Pinocchio are:
The croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-bestie used invented names whilst on the run in the summer of 2019 including Jennifer Marshall and Jen Marshall.
Maxwell’s purchase of a house ironically called ‘Tuckedaway’ is indicative of her clearly giving the justice system the proverbial middle finger. Whilst living there, she “demonstrated willingness and sophisticated ability to live in hiding,” according to prosecutors.
When arrested, Maxwell was discovered along with a “security company staffed with former members of the British military guard” whom had been hired by her brother.
Of her antics during her arrest, the FBI declared: “[She made] a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection… by law enforcement.”
Of why they decided to hold her in custody, Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York declared: “The government respectfully submits that the defendant cannot meet her burden of overcoming the statutory presumption in favour of detention. There are no conditions of bail that would assure the defendant’s presence in court proceedings in this case. Accordingly, any application for bail should be denied.”
When asked by the FBI which countries she was a citizen of, supposedly insane Maxwell arrogantly replied: “[I am a citizen of] TerraMar.” TerraMar is a non-existent place.
Maxwell is a citizen of three countries: The United Kingdom, France and the United States of America. After her arrest, prosecutors pointed out France “does not extradite its citizens to the United States pursuant to French law.”
She also has strong connections with Israel and her equally deviant father is buried there on the Mount of Olives.
The 95-page address book – generally incorrectly referenced as Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘little black book’ – compiled by Maxwell and filled with countless friends of hers. It totals 1,971 individual names and provides clear indication of her ties and connections to powerful people across the globe.
Maxwell has huge cash resources and has previously cited the ability to offer up £21.1 million ($28.5 million, €24.6 million or درهم7 million) and likely has other funds that have not yet even been declared.
Maxwell has the qualifications and ability to pilot submarines and aside from that and her husband Scott Borgerson’s maritime connections, the pair have links to plenty of wealthy people who could speed the alleged mucky madam away in a covert fashion using such vessels.
Mr Borgerson claimed to be “an ex-military man” during the time the couple were purchasing ‘Tuckedaway’ and was previously in the U.S. Coast Guard. It is obvious that such skills would be useful to his wife if she were to go on the run.
Maxwell appeared in a photoshopped image released to the press by an associate in August 2019. The image featured a bus stop with an advert that had never been shown at that location.
The Maxwell family have hired body doubles to try and deceive the media and authorities as to rotten-to-her-core Ghislaine Maxwell’s location.
Maxwell did not even tell her own family she had been married to Scott Borgerson since 2016 prior to her arrest.
Maxwell’s lawyer’s release of the image of her with a black eye – which they claimed to have been caused by abuse by guards – turned out to be an example of fake news. She had actually simply suffered from an eye infection.
Of Maxwell, her very own friend Lady Victoria Hervey once tellingly declared: “I don’t think anyone is going to find her. She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.”
Judge Nathan has previously declared of Robert Maxwell’s daughter: “[There are] no combination of conditions that can reasonably assure her appearance [if she is granted bail].”
Rotten Maxwell – Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview was met with mockery after it was shared on YouTube. Of it, one commentator remarked: “Pity she did not feel the same sorrow for the innocent children she helped abuse.” Another added: “Boo hoo. Get used to it.”
Costly jetsetting £3,000 per hour Tory MP Sir Geoffrey Cox QC needs to resign if the Conservative Party wants a chance of clearing up the stench of sleaze
Though clearly an intelligent man in many ways, Cambridge educated The Right Honourable Sir Geoffrey Cox QC MP is clearly someone completely out of touch with the struggles of those he is meant to represent in his Torridge and West Devon constituency.
Aside from having pocketed an astonishing £6 million from legal work since becoming a Member of Parliament in 2005 on top of his basic £82,000 annual salary for that job (£1.3 million for the 16-year period excluding an extravgant expense allowance added on top), costly Sir Geoffrey, the Mirror this morning revealed, outrageously put in a claim for £1,500 for “seven round trips to London in three months last year when he only voted in person on three days.”
Geoffrey Cox claimed £1,048.95 from taxpayers on expenses last year for an iPad & tablet accessories “to enable effective working while travelling” and for “remote working”.
… all whilst illegally breaking travel bans to line his pockets.
Earlier this week on Twitter, Dr Mike Galsworthy shared: “Geoffrey Cox claimed £1,048.95 from taxpayers on expenses last year for an iPad and tablet accessories ‘to enable effective working while travelling” and for “remote working… All whilst illegally breaking travel bans to line his pockets. Another Tory exploiting the pandemic.”
A poster stating: “Missing: The Right Honourable Geoffrey Cox QC, MP. Has anybody seen Geoffrey lately?”
Like the shameless malverser and now ex-MP Owen Paterson, it is clear that Sir Geoffrey Cox’s priorities are not his constituents but instead feathering his very own nest. Here is a man who – though clearly not having broken any rule currently in place it thus far seems – is lacking in common sense and the ability to see that his position is now completely untenable.
Aside from The Guardian referencing how Sir Geoffrey – who is somewhat ironically presently topping-up his tan in the offshore tax haven of Mauritius – spent much of April, May and June in the sun-drenched British Virgin Islands at a luxury £5,300 per week villa, this morning, the Mirror’s Christine Griffin decided to ask his constituents in far bleaker Devon their views about their MP living-it-up with the jetset.
Their responses were clear and amongst them a Tavistock Foodbank volunteer named Brian Eales declared:
“I’ve never seen Geoffrey Cox at the foodbank in support… He’s not been seen recently in the office he’s got in Tavistock.”
“We don’t know what he does with his money do we. I’d like to think that with the sort of money he’s earning he’s making good use of, but he’s not. That’s a different kettle of fish.”
“I’ve voted Conservative before but at the moment I wouldn’t vote for them, no. I’d be interested to find out what he is doing with the money. At the moment it seems to be all ‘self,’ feathering his own nest shall we call it?’”
Going further of the globetrotting Conservative grandee, another foodbank volunteer constituent, Suzanne Weston raged:
“What [Sir Geoffrey Cox is] doing is disgusting, absolutely outrageous and he’s supposedly our MP.”
“He’s earning enough money as it is, and with the best will in the world nobody can do two full-time jobs at once. He can’t be putting his constituency work first while he’s over in the Caribbean, when we’re all having to be careful over here.”
“If I was in the awful position of having to come to the foodbank, I would be so hurt that someone in his position was not being more empathic towards my situation, just through his practical actions.”
Yesterday, the iPaper’s David Parsley reported on having visited Sir Geoffrey Cox’s constituency’s Conservative Club this week. “He’s too posh for us here,” a female member of the club told him, whilst another added: “To be honest my friend, he doesn’t need to show his face round here. A Dartmoor pony could get elected for the Tories here. That would probably make more of an effort to meet the locals too.”
Seeking to defend himself on his very own website, Sir Geoffrey – who took 60.1% of the vote in his constituency in 2019 and whom currently has a majority of 24,992 votes over his Liberal Democrat rival – this week arrogantly declared:
“Sir Geoffrey Cox has practised as a Queen’s Counsel in the courts since well before his election in 2005. He is a leading barrister in England and makes no secret of his professional activities.”
“Sir Geoffrey regularly works 70-hour weeks and always ensures that his casework on behalf of his constituents is given primary importance and fully carried out. Throughout this period, he continued to have online meetings with organisations, businesses and individuals within the constituency and it made no difference where he was for that purpose since it was not practicable or desirable at that time to meet face to face. As to the use of the proxy, prior to his visit to the BVI, he consulted the Chief Whip specifically on this issue and was advised that it was appropriate.”
“Sir Geoffrey’s view is that it is up to the electors of Torridge and West Devon whether or not they vote for someone who is a senior and distinguished professional in his field and who still practices that profession. That has been the consistent view of the local Conservative Association and although at every election his political opponents have sought to make a prominent issue of his professional practice, it has so far been the consistent view of the voters of Torridge and West Devon. Sir Geoffrey is very content to abide by their decision.”
This notorious for his “booming voice” £3,000 per hour man’s arrogance is telling and now it is simply time for Sir Geoffrey Cox to leave public office and return to personally profiting in private.
This morning, ‘The Guardian’ reported that Sir Geoffrey Cox stayed at this £5,300 per week “luxury estate on Cooper Bay” on “the north shore of Tortola, the biggest of the British Virgin Islands” during his “lucrative side-hustle.” The paper’s Luke Harding remarked: “There is an infinity pool. And a terrace, perfect for cocktails against a pink Caribbean sunset. Tavistock it isn’t.The villa the Torridge and West Devon MP and “prominent barrister” stayed in features a “spectacular internal boulder.”A bedroom within the villa enjoys a balcony with a spectacular view out to sea – clearly something the MP’s poorer constituents won’t be enjoying anytime soon.
In sharing the meaning of ‘malversation,’ Susie Dent sums up the morally bankrupt regime currently in power in Britain
Consistent in her ability to supply many a ‘Word of the Week’ for The Steeple Times, etymologist and Countdown ‘Dictionary Corner’ stalwart Susie Dent has gone and done it again.
Tweeting on Thursday and following up on her brilliant use of ‘thunderplump’ earlier this week, Dent remarked on a word of Middle French origin that sums up Boris Johnson’s Conservative government. Her missive read:
Word of the day is ‘malversation’ (16th century): the corrupt administration of power.
In a week when ‘Bosie The Clown’ has shown his true colours in his inept handling of ‘Owen Paterson-gate,’ we have most definitely seen ‘malversation.’
That anyone views it acceptable that an already handsomely paid MP and former minister took over £500,000 extra to lobby for private companies is bad enough, but that his cretinous colleagues were then forced to march through the lobbies in support of this charlatan is an utter disgrace.
Forever more a ‘malverser,’ Paterson – who was quite happy to sit in Parliament for 24 years without previously moaning about how “cruel” a place he supposedly now believes it to truly be – will be remembered now as a ‘King of Sleaze.’ Equally, if this prized prig thinks he’ll now be “clearing his good name,” he’s about as likely to see another pig fly across the sky above his vast Shropshire mansion.
Shame on Owen Paterson, but more so shame on Boris Johnson and his wholeheartedly rotten government.
Owen Paterson was able to live in palatial splendour in a vast Shropshire mansion courtesy of not only his salary as a Conservative Member of Parliament, but also because he greedily and without hesitation or consideration for morality took over £500,000 from private companies. That he said he’d “do it all again” about sums up the arrogance of this grubby piece of toerag.
According to Merriam-Webster, ‘malversation’ – first knowingly used in 1549 – can be defined as “misbehavior and especially corruption in an office, trust, or commission” or more simply as a “corrupt administration.” Going further they add: “The form ‘mal-’ is often a bad sign in a word, and malversation is no exception. In Middle French, ‘mal-’ (meaning ‘bad,’ from the Latin word for ‘bad,’ ‘malus’) teamed up with ‘verser’ (‘to turn, handle,’ from the Latin verb ‘vertere,’ ‘to turn’) to create ‘malverser,’ a verb meaning ‘to be corrupt.’ This in turn led to the French noun ‘malversation’, which was adopted by English speakers in the mid-16th century. Some other ‘mal-’ words that entered English from Middle French are ‘maladroit’ (‘inept’), ‘malcontent’ (‘discontented’), and ‘maltreat’ (‘to treat badly’).”
Author Kirby Sommers starts a petition suggesting “nobody should be above the law” in the context of the Prince Andrew v Virginia Giuffre civil case
As we’ve said before, Kirby Sommers – the author of Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography – is a crusading force and now, this weekend, she’s started a Change.org petition regarding the civil case between Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew.
Focusing her efforts this time on the suggestion that “nobody should be above the law,” not even the son of the Queen, Sommers quite rightly asks the judge in the case, Lewis Kaplan, to allow the course of justice to run rather than being dismissed.
The photograph taken at the home of Ghislaine Maxwell featuring Virginia Giuffre – then known as Virginia Roberts – with Prince Andrew on 10th March 2001 has never been proven to be anything but genuine. Even, the alleged mucky madam’s brother, Ian, has described the setting of the image as “genuine.”
During Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC interview with Emily Maitlis, he denied having even having met Roberts in spite of the fact that said photograph clearly showed to the contrary.
In addition, the duke’s claim that he did not go to Tramp nightclub that night and danced with the then Miss Roberts has been called into question by an independent witness, Shukri Walker.
Going further, if the non-sweating, Pizza Express loving royal would like to see this legal matter properly cleared up to the satisfaction of his alleged victim, himself and the general public also, he should face upto it rather than behaving like a guffawing, petulant child.
Today, we urge readers of The Steeple Times to sign the Change.org petition and we also suggest it is time for the Duke of York to stop “victim shaming,” man-up and finally head to America.

Prince Andrew pictured on the first floor of 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, London, SW1X 8ES on 10th March 2001 with his “chubby” fingers around the waist of the then 17-year-old Virginia Roberts with Ghislaine Maxwell grinning like the cat that got the cream behind. Presumably the image was taken by their paedophile mate Jeffrey Epstein and though the Duke of York has claimed it to be a fake, nobody has proven yet that it is anything other than a genuine image.
Launching the Change.org petition she started on Saturday 30th October 2021, the ‘Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography’ author declared: “In every court case letters from the people who know the parties are sent to the judge. The attorneys use these letters as well as media coverage to support their stance. Your voice matters NOW more than ever. Please sign our Open Letter to Judge Kaplan.”
On Twitter also on Saturday, Kirby Sommers also stated: “For those of you who do not know. Human trafficking is illegal no matter the age of the person. Sexual human trafficking is illegal. Again, no matter the age of the person. The only way Virginia had to sue Prince Andrew as the Child Victims Act.”
The Duke of York’s November 2019 BBC interview with Emily Maitlis about the allegations against him concerning his friendship with croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell resulted in him becoming both a laughing stock and the loss of his royal roles. It brought shame on his family and turned him into an international embarrassment whose ability to be honest quite deservedly has been repeatedly questioned.
Joint interview by Shaun Attwood and Matthew Steeples with Yvonne Hartley and Philip Walker of the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign premieres tonight on YouTube
Late last month, Shaun Attwood of Shaun Attwood’s True Crime Channel and Matthew Steeples of The Steeple Times spent five hours interviewing Yvonne Hartley and Philip Walker of the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign.
This weekend, at CrimeCon 2021 in London, Attwood and Steeples spent several hours with Hartley and Walker in conversation about Jeremy Bamber and his family and tonight a condensed version of the original interview will premiere on YouTube at 6pm.
Featuring a detailed discussion of the gruesome events that occurred at White House Farm, Tolleshunt D’Arcy, Essex on the 7th August 1985 that resulted in the deaths of Nevill and June Bamber, their adopted daughter Sheila Caffell and her sons Daniel and Nicholas Caffell, tonight’s programme will give viewers the chance to learn more about this complex case and recent developments that potentially could lead to a reinvestigation of it shortly.
Commenting on email of the forthcoming show previously, Yvonne Hartley remarked:
“Thank you for the opportunity for the campaign to highlight Jeremy’s case and his fight for justice. “
“We really do appreciate all your support, and hopefully many more people across the globe will soon be aware of this travesty thanks to your programme.”
Going further, Philip Walker added:
“We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to put Jeremy’s case to your audience. We hope that they will find what we had to say interesting and thought provoking.”

To watch at 6pm GMT tonight, Monday 27th September, set a reminder on YouTube:
Jeremy Bamber has been in prison on a whole life order since being convicted of the murders of five members of his family on the 28th October 1986. He has continually protested his innocence and lodged an application with the Criminal Cases Review Commission on 10th March 2021.
What happened to a suicide note allegedly left by Sheila Caffell that was initially referenced by police and then disappeared?
Why did Sheila Caffell not have rigor mortis when officers discovered her body?
Why was blood still gaping from Miss Caffell’s body when it was found?
Why are there different accounts about how many bodies were discovered on the ground floor of the farmhouse?
How could Jeremy Bamber be the killer if police officers repeatedly detected movement inside White House Farmhouse whilst he was stood with them outside?
Why was the silencer supposedly used in the shootings not discovered immediately when police entered the residence?
Why did scratch marks supposedly made in the kitchen of the house by that silencer not appear in the first photographs taken at the crime scene? How were they actually made in order that they appeared in later imagery?
How could Jeremy Bamber be the killer if he made a phone call from his Goldhanger home 3.5 miles away moments after his father had called police from White House Farmhouse to say that his daughter had “gone berserk” with a gun?
Matthew Steeples of ‘The Steeple Times’ with Shaun Attwood of ‘Shaun Attwood’s True Crime Channel’ pose in prison gear at CrimeCon 2021 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel at St Paul’s, London on Sunday 26th September 2021. Aside from having met many fascinating true crime figures at the gathering, the pair were able to spend time meeting friends old and new including Yvonne Hartley and Philip Walker of the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign.In addition, Attwood and Steeples spoke before an enthusiastic audience about the case of Ghislaine Maxwell. Afterwards, the duo had drinks with the former BBC ‘Panorama’ and Newsnight’ journalist John Sweeney – host of the popular podcast ‘Finding Ghislaine.’
Twitter users get into a tizzy as to whether the new ‘Battersea Power Station’ should be called that or ‘Battersea Power Station Station’; let’s get them started on ‘King’s Road’ vs. ‘Kings Road’
People who use Twitter can be beyond pedantic, but yesterday “the world’s only model village and miniature city expert” and presenter of UKTV’s The Architecture The Railways BuiltTim Dunn got 6,400 of them overexcited by arguing that the sign for the new Battersea Power Station underground stop should actually read ‘Battersea Power Station Station.’
Claiming “OK, yes, this might be my OCD rising but I LIKE CONSISTENCY,” Mr Dunn suggested that Transport for London’s “guidelines say that the blue panel/lozenge above the entrance must say ‘X STATION.’” He cited as evidence for his claim images of the entrances to the stops at Woodford, Burnt Oak and Bond Street – all of which feature the word “station” after their names.
The sign at Covent Garden lacks the word “station,” however.As does the original entrance at Hyde Park Corner. The current signage above ground simply reads “Underground” whilst internally there is no mention of “station” either.
Though it appears Dunn is correct in the main, Covent Garden seems to be an exception to this rule and does not carry the word “station” on the signage at its entrance. Equally, at Hyde Park Corner the signage at ground level just reads ‘Underground’ and the original entrance lacked the word “station” also.
In response, whilst one Twitter user suggested: “A station is only a station if it isn’t already a station” and another added: “I was listening to a featuring on this on BBC Radio 4; made my brain ache,” the majority agreed with the “inner pedant” of Dunn, another pointedly concluded: “THEY ARE THE RULES.”
Given that’s decided then, perhaps Mr Dunn and chums could move onto deciding what another contentiously named London transportation link should be referenced. It is time for someone to finally solve the ongoing debate of whether it is the ‘Kings Road’ or ‘King’s Road.’ Even, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council haven’t been able to make their minds up about that.
In the case of the signage for the “Kings Road” or “King’s Road” in SW3, the local council, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, cannot even make up their minds.The signage at South Kensington Underground Station complies with the “rules” Mr Dunn suggests Transport for London operate by.As does that at Knightsbridge Underground Station.
The late Terry Lubbock deserves to be remembered and recognised for his campaign for justice for his raped and murdered son Stuart
Terry Lubbock, whom tragically died on Wednesday after a long battle with terminal cancer, was a fearless campaigner, but also a man cheated of justice in the case of the rape and murder of his son, Stuart, at the then home of Michael Barrymore on 31st March 2001.
Stuart Lubbock, a victim of an unsolved to this day rape and murder at the bungalow home of Michael Barrymore, on the day of his marriage to Sue Homan.Michael Barrymore took to Twitter just hours after the death of the father of the victim of murder and rape at his then home, 4 Beaumont Park Drive, Roydon, Harlow, Essex, CM19 5HB, finally succumbed to his battle with terminal cancer. His tweet was quite rightly condemned, yet calls for him to say something appropriate instead were completely ignored by him.
Speaking of the late 76-year-old to the Mirror, Mr Lubbock’s friend and publicist Harry Cichy remarked:
“You don’t come across many people like Terry Lubbock. His tenacity and determination were incredible. He looked like a mild-mannered man, but he had the heart of a lion.”
“I knew him for 16 years. He thought about Stuart every waking hour, seven days a week.”
“He’s died sad, because he’s died knowing people never knew the truth about what happened. But no-one could have fought harder for their son.”
“A new inquest was what really mattered to him. He had lost faith in the police. Sadly, he’s died not knowing whether there will be another inquest.”
Meanwhile elsewhere, just hours after Mr Lubbock’s passing was announced, the one-time associate of the paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile and long since disgraced entertainer Michael Barrymore took to Twitter. Callously and piling further misery on the Lubbock family, he announced: “Do what you want in life. X.”
Today, in memory of both Stuart and Terry Lubbock, we again say shame on him and call on this reprehensible individual and the others present on that fateful night to do the right thing: Attend Essex Police and finally tell the truth.
Justice for Stuart Lubbock – The people who need to man-up and tell the truth about what happened at Michael Barrymore’s home on 31st March 2001
Michael Parker (AKA Michael Barrymore) – Allegedly loudly said: “I need a f**k” in a taxi as he left the Millennium Nightclub to return to his home, the scene of the death of Stuart Lubbock. Barrymore later lied to a coroner’s court about facilitating drug taking at his house on the night in question also.
Barrymore claimed to have been first to have discovered the body of Stuart Lubbock at 5.45am, called his manager Mike Brown before the ambulance arrived and then left the premises. He admits that was “wrong” and also bizarrely told Piers Morgan that in spite of “knowing others were hiding secrets about what happened to Mr. Lubbock” that “I am not going to say their names. I just hope they are brave enough to come forward one day.”
Mike Brown – Agent of Michael Barrymore. Called to the property before emergency services arrived.
Kelly Campbell – Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened.
James Futters (sometimes spelt ‘Futers’) – A paper boy turned chef. Described as “a local from the village” and a “friend and neighbour of Barrymore.” Claimed to have been the first to discover the body with Simon Shaw and stated: “[It was not] Michael Barrymore and not Jonathan Kenney [who found him].” Later, of him the Evening Standard reported: “Barrymore offered James Futters a white powder on his finger saying: ‘Do you want to try this?’ Mr Futters told the inquest that he leaned forward and licked the powder.”
Claire Jones – Then aged 17. Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened but told the police that she “saw Barrymore rummaging through drawers and changing his clothes before police arrived. When he left the house, he had a ‘bundle of material’ under his arm,” according to the Evening Standard. “She added: ‘Jonathan (Kenney) was rushing through the bungalow before the ambulance and police arrived. I got the impression he was hiding something.’”
Jonathan Kenney – Estate agent, drag queen and Michael Barrymore’s then lover; later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged; known for having a “record of violence.” Claimed to have been the first to have discovered the body and is now aged 50.
Justin Merritt – A dustman from Essex. Later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged. Later paid £30,000 by the News of the World for an interview in which he stated Barrymore had “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died.”
Kylie Merritt – Sister of Justin Merritt. She also alleged Barrymore “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died” (curiously in the wake of her brother selling his account of the night).
Simon Shaw – Described as “a local from the village.” Michael Barrymore supposedly “ran off” to Mr. Shaw’s house to “buy himself thinking time [for two hours] before he was questioned by the police [at 7.49am].”
In addition, others, who’ve never been identified could also have possibly been present. If they were, they should come forward or be named by those listed above.
Nikolay Kalinin suggests that 12 weeks suspension is far from enough for serial sex pest ‘Randy Rob’ Roberts MP
As Prince Andrew is being forced to acknowledge that his palace walls won’t save him from the legal papers regarding a sexual assault lawsuit against him, another man of questionable morality is jumping up and down in happiness upon realisation that his career is not yet over: Rob Roberts.
The Delyn MP had been forced out of Parliament for 6 weeks after sexual assault allegations, was stripped of his status as MP, and upon return was instantly condemned and faced repeated calls to resign. Now, it’s been confirmed that he’ll be suspended from the Conservative party for 12 weeks.
Unsurprisingly, Roberts’ victim was abashed by the news, telling BBC News: “It’s disconcerting that someone who has caused so much concern amongst younger members of the party should be allowed to continue their membership and potentially continue to have access to other young members in the future.”
It is abhorrent in my opinion that no one in the Standards Committee thought that a recall petition should be called, because I’m pretty sure Robert’s constituents would want to have a say when it comes to deciding the future of their MP who can’t restrain himself from childish and creepy behaviour.
Then again, what can we expect from a party that wouldn’t get rid of Priti Patel and sex maniac Stephen Crabb? At this point, the word ‘Tory’ is becoming a byword for an absolute lack of decency, and we must not let the government forget that.
Roberts was deservedly slammed in June 2020 after it was revealed that he texted a young female aide on WhatsApp and remarked: “Just thought we could have some fun maybe, no strings. Will leave it with you. I might be gay but I enjoy … fun times.”
As Prince Andrew is served with legal papers by Virginia Giuffre, we remind the rotten royal that worse could deservedly still come
“Just a Prince Who Can’t Say No!” was a song performed on the second episode of Spitting Image in 1984 and now it seems that the rotten royal that it pilloried hasn’t been able to say such to process servers of legal papers for Virginia Giuffre.
Supposedly presented with documents on 27th August, ‘Randy Andy’ is now supposedly claiming the documents were not correctly presented and is allegedly going to seek to have the civil case against him – due to begin on Monday – thrown out on the basis of various technicalities.
However, as much as he may try, the decidedly deviant, non-sweating Duke – a man known also for having taken all sorts of incentives from dictators and despots – now likely faces worse to come. Considered a “person of interest” by investigators in the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal case in America, Prince Andrew’s strategy is clearly not working, but is that surprising?
Stuck in the hapless hands of such people as the pugancious PR peddler James Henderson – whose former firm, Bell Pottinger, was ultimately bankrupted over a scandal over its definitely dubious unethical, racist campaign in South Africa – courtesy of his dumber-than-dumb live-in ex-wife, Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time bestie needs to today do the right thing.
‘Randy Andy’ simply now needs to man-up and head to America and answer the very questions he’s so long sought to avoid. Unless he does such, all he will do continue to bring shame on his mother – a lady of stature whose dignity undoubtedly still goes without question.

Prince Andrew and his wack job wastrel ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York cannot help but make any situation they inveigle themselves in worse. This grubby duo would do better simply to disappear.
Prince Andrew’s most ridiculous remarks
“I could have worse tags than ‘Airmiles Andy’ – although I don’t know what they are.”
“People say to me: ‘Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange.’ But, of course, I have not experienced any other life. It’s not strange to me.”
“There’s a slight problem with the sweating because I have a peculiar medical condition which is that I don’t sweat or I didn’t sweat at the time and that was… was it… yes, I didn’t sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenalin in the Falkland’s War when I was shot at and I simply… it was almost impossible for me to sweat. And it’s only because I have done a number of things in the recent past that I am starting to be able to do that again. So, I’m afraid to say that there’s a medical condition that says that I didn’t do it so therefore…”
“We can’t be certain as to whether or not that’s my hand on her whatever it is, left… left side … [of the photograph with Virginia Roberts] Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored but I don’t recollect that photograph ever being taken.”
“I went [to Jeffrey Epstein’s house] with the sole purpose of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together. And I had a number of people counsel me in both directions, either to go and see him or not to go and see him and I took the judgement call that because this was serious and I felt that doing it over the telephone was the chicken’s way of doing it. I had to go and see him and talk to him.”
“[Jeffrey Epstein’s house] was a convenient place to stay. I mean I’ve gone through this in my mind so many times. At the end of the day, with a benefit of all the hindsight that one can have, it was definitely the wrong thing to do. But at the time I felt it was the honorable and right thing to do and I admit fully that my judgment was probably colored by my tendency to be too honorable but that’s just the way it is.”
“I’ve always been told I was extremely well behaved as a kid.”
“If you’re a man it is a positive act to have sex with somebody. You have to … take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it’s very difficult to try and forget a positive action and I do not remember anything.”
“It’s slightly complicated for people to grasp the idea of a head of state in human form.”
And finally, stating the bloody obvious: “Today is reality. Yesterday is history.”
