Just as the toxic culture of sexual abuse at the Metropolitan Police is highlighted, we again remind that it was a female one-time school chum of noxious nonce Ghislaine Maxwell, Dame Cressida Dick, who presided over this rotten organisation for much of this period
“Do you feel safe around the police?” enquired Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this morning specifically in the context of the latest Metropolitan policeman-rapist David Carrick – a now convicted criminal who should never have passed vetting in the first place given accusations against him prior to and during his appointment.
Ms Barnett was right to ask such, but what she very clearly missed was to observe was that the very person at the helm of this police force during much of Carrick’s time committing many of his crimes was a woman, Dame Cressida Dick DBE QPM.
Currently there are about 1,000 allegations of domestic abuse or sexual offences against the Met’s 45,000 officers and staff and yet again today it has been highlighted that criminal conduct within this force has again and again been ignored. “How can it have failed again?” raged former chief constable of Nottinghamshire Sue Fish in today’s The Guardian and going further, she quite sensibly added: “If police are abusing their position to exploit those they are charged to protect, how can the institution be trusted?” She is correct and now the powers must be must put this grave situation right.
Turning back more specifically to the now put-out-to-paddock Dame Cressida, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden highlighted another scandal in which she failed to act forcefully – that of the ‘Partygate’ probe into Boris Johnson and his cronies ‘living-it-large’ at Downing Street during COVID-19 lockdowns. Eden observed:
“Commander Catherine Roper, who has been confirmed as Wiltshire’s new Chief Constable, was previously in charge of the ‘Partygate’ probe into Covid breaches in Downing Street. She was given the role by Cressida Dick. In her new job, Roper will have to look after several well-known Wiltshire dignitaries – including Dick, who has a home in the county. Small world, isn’t it?”
Dame Cressida’s cronyism and curious connections have repeatedly been examined in The Steeple Times. She went to the same school as the convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, Oxford High School, at the same time as her and attended the same college at the University of Oxford, Balliol. Dame Cressida’s father, Marcus Dick (1920 – 1971) just happened also to be the senior tutor at Balliol College also and in 1994, when the Metropolitan Police could have pursued allegations that Maxwell was operating an upmarket brothel from her Stanhope Mews East, South Kensington, London home, the force did nothing. Paraphrasing Richard Eden: “Strange that, isn’t it?”

Rotten to its core… Wayne Couzens and David Carrick are just two examples of sex fiends who were allowed free reign to commit crimes whilst working for the Metropolitan Police. It is now time that this force be stopped from “marking its own homework” has been an analysis repeatedly stated in the hours since the conviction of Carrick.Richard Eden’s feature this morning highlighted a bit more of “jobs for the girls” going on with the appointment of Catherine Roper as Wiltshire’s new chief constable.Both Ghislaine Maxwell and Dame Cressida Dick grew up and were educated in the ‘City of Dreaming Spires.’ Though Dame Cressida does not appear in the former’s address book, their connections during their formative years surely must have meant that their paths crossed – especially since the former Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis’ father was the senior tutor at the very college, Balliol, where both ladies studied.Since dead sex fiend Jeffrey Epstein and his since incarcerated co-collaborator sex fiend Ghislaine Maxwell (left), one-time alleged brothel owned by Maxwell between 1989 and 1997, 69 Stanhope Mews East in South Kensington (centre) and Maxwell’s former schoolmate and now ex-Met Police chief Dame Cressida Dick (right).69 Stanhope Mews East, South Kensington, London, SW7 5QT was the subject of a covert surveillance exercise by the Metropolitan Police in 1994 whilst under the ownership of the pension pot plundering ‘Cap’n Bob’s’ decidedly deviant daughter. Very young ladies of a certain type were seen coming and going during the period and it was suspected by neighbours that the house was being operated as a “high-class whore house” run by a “smart looking madam.”The current occupants of 69 Stanhope Mews are clearly sick of media attention and in spite of the mews house being on a public highway recently placed a “no photography or video recording” sign in their window. They also have a problem with dogs peeing on their plant pots.
As the world media focus on ‘Dirty Harry’s’ disgraceful interviews, Westminster seizes an opportunity to “bury bad news” about MPs outrageous outside earnings and most especially Theresa May’s £2.5 million pay topup since the last election
At 2.55pm BST on 11th September 2001, after both World Trade Center towers had been hit by aircraft propelled by Jihadists, Jo Moore, the then advisor and press officer of Stephen Byers, the then Transport, Local Government and Regions Secretary, thought it appropriate to send an email. It read: “It’s now a very good day to get out anything we want to bury. Councillors’ expenses?”
Inevitably given 2,996 died that day including the 19 hijackers, Moore’s calculating communication ended up being leaked by someone no doubt quite rightly appalled at its contents and subsequently, it emerged that she’d had the gall to do it again in 2002.
After Princess Margaret died on 9th February and prior to her funeral on 15th February that year at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on 13th February 2002, an email chain emerged between her and Martin Sixsmith, the then director of communications at Network Rail, in which it was remarked: “Princess Margaret is being buried [on Friday]. I will absolutely not allow anything else to be.”
Last night at 10.35pm BST, just after a ninety-minute interview with Prince Harry (AKA ‘Dirty Harry’ yet again now) – conducted by a close chum, Tom Bradby, who gave him the easiest of rides and didn’t ask any truly difficult questions of his dimwitted dunce mate of many years – splashed across news channels across the globe, a bit of ‘Jo Moore-ing’ was clearly underway at Westminster and headline information that would otherwise have been “tomorrow’s shockers” on any other day were quickly “given out.”
As featured in an expose by The Steeple Times back in November last year – when nobody else in the press seemed to want to ask pertinent questions about what was actually shockingly going on when Theresa May outrageously took money to speak in the place of questionable human rights that is Saudi Arabia – last night’s ‘little leak’ centred on the outside earnings of the grasping grabbers that are British Members of Parliament.
On any other day, a Sky News and Tortoise Media investigation that revealed that in total – in the last three years since the last general election – the 650 Members of Parliament that sit in the House of Commons have taken £183 million ($222 million, €208 million or درهم816 million) “in the form of second jobs, donations, free trips and hospitality, all from private sources,” would be front page news and enough to cause ‘Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells’ types everywhere to have full-on coronaries.
Of their revelations, shared in an article late last night by Tortoise’s Catherine Neilan and Giles Whittell, the most amazing was that it was not the notoriously greedy former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who’d raked in the most to take top place for “side hustles,” but in fact she famed for being “naughty” by “wandering in wheat fields,” Theresa May. The Member for Maidenhead raked in over £2.5 million ($3 million, €2.8 million or درهم11.1 million) on top of her £85,000 ($103,000, €97,000 or درهم379,000) parliamentary salary.
Of the astounding £107,600 ($130,600, €122,300 or درهم480,000) payment, Lady May received from the World Travel and Tourism Council for the aforementioned likely very short speech in Saudi Arabia, the Belfast Telegraph later added: “[She took this for a speech in] a country she blocked ministers and officials from visiting following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.”
In 2003, Jo Moore resigned. Supposedly, she’s now a teacher, but whether she teaches the “art of communication” is unknown. If she does, perhaps Prince Harry might want to apply for lessons as he and his harridan handler wife could learn an awful lot from such. In addition, maybe it’s time for Lady May to get in on another “money sluice;” maybe, just maybe she out to go into business with Ms Moore also.

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Is Westminster using #HarryTheInterview as a way to ‘bury bad news’ (Jo Moore 9/11 style) about MPs outside earnings?” and accompanied his poll with the hashtags: “#PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle #Harryhasgonemad #RoyalFamily #RoyalScandal #TheresaMay #DavidLammy #politics #MPs #power #mondaythoughts #MondayMorning #BuryBadNews”
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples also asked: “In wake of #HarryTheInterview with Tom Bradby last night, what’s your view of how Prince Harry comes out in the wash?” The overwhelming response thus far (76.4% as of 10am, 9th January 2022) has been: “A mangled mucked up mess.”
Twitter reacts to Tom Bradby’s toady interview…
The British public were shocked and stunned undoubtedly last night as they watched the Duke of Sussex bang on about everyone but himself being to blame for his predicament to his mate Tom Bradby on ITV1 last night.
Whilst the majority who reacted on Twitter were outraged, a few of his PR peddling fanatics and others did offer supportive words and encouragement.
As ‘Harry & Meghan’ premieres on Netflix, a video of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s supporter Marlene Headley (AKA ‘Negozi Fulani’) proves her to be nothing but an attention seeking grifter
On the day that Netflix’s ‘moanathon’ Harry & Meghan ‘drops’ millennial style, a video of that “grifter that’s gotta grift” Ngozi Fulani – whose name at birth was actually Marlene Headley – is also doing the rounds. In it, noxious nuisance Ms Headley, as many are now referencing this toxic troublemaker, is shown parading around blatantly telling people how she has to dress up to get noticed.
Clearly illustrating herself as someone prepared to act up in order to get any kind of attention at all, here again is proof that the entire debacle with Lady Susan Hussey was orchestrated and planned in a very twisted fashion. It was anything but a chance encounter on the part of Headley – a woman who previously effectively suggested our now Queen Consort, Camilla, to be someone who inflicted “domestic abuse” against the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle – and the victim in all this, it is becoming more and more apparent, was actually an 83-year-old who had served her nation diligently for over 60 years.
Yesterday, GB News reported that Ms Headley had issued a further statement about an incident she’d previously claimed she didn’t want to make a fuss about. On Monday, she supposedly ludicrously opined:
“What took place at the event is now well-documented, and sadly is something that occurs on an all too regular basis… I have experienced first-hand what happens when a black woman faces adversity and has to overcome additional barriers when trying to report it… I remain dedicated to raising awareness around cultural competency, and will go to Buckingham Palace, or anywhere else, if it will help raise positive change and save lives.”
Meanwhile elsewhere in the Daily Mail’s ‘Ephraim Hardcastle’ column this morning, reference was made to one half of the Duchess of Sussex’s supplier of private jets, Sir Elton John. It was noted:
“With Sir Elton John confirmed to headline Glastonbury, Prince Philip’s biographer Gyles Brandreth recalls sitting with the duke before a performance by the Rocket Man.”
“‘Looking at the programme,’ says Gyles, ‘Philip groaned, ‘Oh God, Elton John… again.’”
Sadly, still titleless David Furnish, Sir Elton’s other half and ‘close friend’ of Danny Williams, didn’t get a look-in and yet again the late Duke of Edinburgh was proven to be a far wiser sort than his drippy grandson in his observations on good and bad character.

Ngozi Fulani has repeatedly banged on about how she didn’t like Lady Susan Hussey having touched her during their encounter; the hypocrite, shown here behind Queen Consort Camilla at the very reception where that encounter occurred, is pictured touching somebody else and up close and personal with another. Here is somebody who has turned a storm in a teacup into almighty PR opportunity for nobody but her nasty self.The ‘Daily Mail’ had a pop at Sir Elton John on the day of his friend Prince Harry’s Netflix premiere. In mentioning that Prince Philip was anything but a fan of titleless David Furnish’s hubby, they pointedly showed the late Duke of Edinburgh to be a far better judge of character than his soppy grandson.When he’s not paddling around whilst holidaying in the land of olive oil, David Furnish (pictured here with the male ‘friend’ he bought a flat for, Danny Williams) likes to make programmes to air on Netflix with his female chum the Duchess of Sussex. The programmes, unsurprisingly, just like this dastardly duo themselves, don’t prove to be very popular.Today, with their Netflix premiere, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signaled what should be next for them. This greedy, grasping, grubbing duo should be told: “It’s curtains for you!” by King Charles and then they should be sent off to where they belong: Siberia.

As it is revealed that Scottish police disgracefully destroyed evidence in the Luke Mitchell case, we highlight two other equally shocking examples of police evidence destruction and call for reinvestigations of all three cases
Last night, in what he justifiably called a “bombshell” and announced as an “exclusive,” The Scottish Sun’s Douglas Walker revealed that Luke Mitchell, convicted of killing his girlfriend Jodi Jones in Dalkeith, Midloathian in 2003, “could sue prosecutors after it emerged they sanctioned the police to destroy evidence from the murder case.”
According to the paper:
“Cops illicitly destroyed protected evidence from the Jodi Jones murder case, we can reveal. More than 100 legal productions including burnt clothes were secretly uplifted for disposal – against police rules.”
“Now it’s emerged that Mitchell’s legal team could sue prosecutors after it emerged they sanctioned the police to destroy evidence from the murder case.”
“An insider revealed he could argue his right to an appeal has been hampered with Crown Office lawyers now desperate for assurances he won’t take them to court.”
“A letter from the Lord Advocate’s government solicitors admitted the evidence had been taken away – and confirmed destruction had now been halted.”
Continuing, “an insider told The Scottish Sun” that:
“A load of officers from the Major Investigation Team went to Edinburgh to remove over 100 productions. This included some burnt clothes found about a thousand metres from the locus.”
“They loaded boxes into a police van and took them to Livingston police station. The Crown Office had signed off the items to be returned to the owner or destroyed. This is not normal procedure, especially in a murder case.”
“Mitchell could now argue his right to a fair appeal has been denied as evidence has been destroyed. This could lead to a judicial review which could even pave a way to his release.”
In the case of Bamber, critical evidence was burnt in the garden of White House Farm and taken home by officers by Essex Police even and in a further example, that of Mark Alexander, who has been in jail for killing his conman father since 2010, it was just as bad.
Found guilty without any forensic evidence and with the help of Midsomer Murders-esque “suspicious neighbours primarily, supporters of Alexander rightly highlight that the prosecution withheld critical information from trial that included that four potential suspects – who police never bothered to speak to – were never even mentioned to the jury.
Going further and summing up what led to the conviction of Alexander, Progressing Prisoners Maintaining Innocence (PPMI), observed: “Another example of typical factors in a wrongful conviction: no forensic evidence, impossible time frame for the crime to be committed, witness put off by the police, important witnesses not interviewed, lurid allegations in the press published before they could be countered, all racked up by such sad personal circumstances.”
It is time for all three cases to be revisited and at the very least those officers that destroyed key documents and items must be quite rightly be brought to book. Justice is never just if it is based on the police manipulating the evidence that gets that very justice.

Evidence Destruction By Police – Campaigns Supporting Mark Alexander, Jeremy Bamber and Luke Mitchell
Here are three men who continue to rot in prison. Each may or may not be guilty of the murders they were convicted of committing. However, though, the protests of innocence of each man should be judged on the merits and failings of each case alone, what links these three men is that the police very, very clearly shockingly botched the handling of evidence that led to each of their convictions.
Each man – Mark Alexander, Jeremy Bamber and Luke Mitchell – as a result of a questioning public and critical experts highlighting the flaws in their cases, has attracted large support. More details about the campaigns seeking reinvestigations into each of their cases follows:

Earlier this month, Tom Halliday (pictured), a Midlothian car mechanic turned bathroom designer and fitter, revealed that he found a knife in a skip just 500 yards from where the body of schoolgirl Jodi Jones was found just days after her 30th June 2003 murder. He reported it the police and spoke out again now after recently finding out that his find was never even mentioned let alone submitted during the trial. Mr Halliday commented: “Nobody placed any importance on that knife. When I learned it wasn’t documented, it raised my suspicions the police may have tried to conceal the discovery.” Going further, a lawyer for Luke Mitchell, Scott Forbes, added: “This is the real missing knife… It was either destroyed went missing if it didn’t fit the police narrative.”Amongst items not only never shown to the court at the trial of Jeremy Bamber was this bible. Though photographed by Essex Police at the crime scene next to the body of Sheila Caffell – the only other suspect in these familial murders – it was shockingly destroyed. “What motivated officers to do this?” remains a question that very clearly ought to be answered.In April 2020, ‘The Steeple Times’ reported that “further questions about the conduct of Essex Police [were] raised as it [was] revealed they destroyed the bible, nightclothes and pillows that were found with the victims at White House Farm on the night of the 1985 murders. The 20th March 2000 letter from the Criminal Cases Review Commission to Glaisyers Solicitors LLP and Sheila Caffell is truly a shocking example of a bungling balls-up.Of how the police handled the investigation into his father’s murder in 2009 and the discovery of his body subsequently at his home at 2 Prospect Close, Drayton Parslow, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK17 0JB, Mark Alexander observed: “Once I was in their sights, things went downhill pretty quickly. Supporting testimony offered by my mum in police interview wasn’t shared with my defence team. Samples taken at the burial site weren’t bagged correctly, so degraded in transit before they could ever be tested. When I gave officers a list of dad’s aliases, the leads weren’t followed. And despite there being no sign of the murder itself having taken place at the house, no efforts were made to search the local area for clues. Instead of being guided by the facts, the facts were reinterpreted to fit the suspect, me. The pathology reports gave a two-month window within which dad’s death might have occurred. Everything then focused on fixing the murder as close as possible to the beginning of that window in order to provide me with just enough time and motive to render what they already believed to be true plausible. It was classic confirmation bias.”
As a 25,000 strong petition is set to be delivered to the Scottish Parliament, we join those asking: “Could convicted killer Luke Mitchell be innocent of the murder of his girlfriend Jodi Jones?”
After hostage-turned-humanitarian Terry Waite CBE highlighted flaws in the September 2010 conviction of Mark Alexander, The Steeple Times examined that case and joined those campaigning for, at the very least, a review of the evidence gathered by a police force who we believe simply wanted a quick and easy conviction.
Often highlighted wrongly as the “Scottish ‘Black Dahlia’ case,” the case of the brutal murder of a 14-year-old schoolgirl named Jodie Jones in Dalkeith, Scotland on 30th June 2003 is another example of a case that continually attracts claims that the convicted perpetrator could actually be innocent.
Whilst Lothian and Borders Police successfully pinned the blame of Miss Jones’s murder on her boyfriend, Luke Mitchell, and secured his conviction in January 2005, tomorrow, Wednesday 16th November, his legal team will deliver a petition signed by 25,000 individuals to the Scottish Parliament demanding “an urgent and fully independent inquiry.” They believe the conviction to be unsafe and cite that “upto 122 items gathered as part of the investigation into the death were never forensically tested.”
Mitchell – who had been dating Jones for four months prior to her murder – was found guilty of killing her by hitting her on the head and body, compressing her neck, restricting her breathing and stabbing her both before and after she died in January 2005. He was sentenced to serve a minimum of twenty years in prison and though several attempts to overturn his conviction have failed, he continues to protest his innocence.
Recently, Scott Mitchell, who has been the lawyer for Mitchell since 2010 but also involved with the case since 2003, remarked:
“Forensic science has improved dramatically. I believe DNA samples that went untested will overhaul the conviction if we can examine them now. Without a doubt, that will prove Luke Mitchell did not kill Jodi.”
A full statement regarding the alleged failings in the case brought by Lothian and Borders Police follows after the videos and photographs beneath this article. It has been compiled by supporters of Luke Mitchell, a dedicated group who have been in touch with The Steeple Times for many months now.

If the wrong man is indeed in jail for the 2003 murder of Jodi Jones, her killer is likely still alive and still at large and still evading justice. If that is the case, Lothian and Borders Police have a lot of questions to answer as to why they didn’t correctly deal with the evidence available to them.
It’s easy for police to pin the blame most especially on young men and in the case of the 2010 conviction of Mark Alexander – pictured here with hostage-turned-humanitarian Terry Waite CBE on the day he graduated in jail – the complete lack of forensic evidence in his conviction for his deviant father is very, very, very troubling. His case deserves to be revisited given all the new evidence that has been found.Two cases involving that of the 1986 conviction of Jeremy Bamber (left) and the 2001 murder of Stuart Lubbock (right) raise questions as to how Essex Police bungled the investigations by mismanaging evidence and making countless errors. We believe both cases should at the very, very least be reinvestigated due to the clear incompetence of this particular police force.In America, the July 1996 jailing of brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez for life without parole rightly continues to be condemned as an outrage given that the evil parents they slayed were clearly both guilty of having abused them consistently until their 20th August 1989 deaths in Beverly Hills, California. These repeatedly sexually abused brothers should have been convicted of manslaughter and they should now be freed.
Text supplied by a member of the Facebook group supporting Luke Mitchell that explains their take on why they believe him to be innocent of the 2003 murder…
The murder of Jodi Jones, a 14-year-old girl, took place in Dalkeith, Scotland on 30th June 2003. Her 14-year-old boyfriend, Luke Mitchell, came under suspicion, but it was several months before he was arrested.
Mitchell was tried for the murder and after Scotland’s longest single-accused trial at that time, Mitchell was convicted by a majority verdict in January 2005 despite there being no direct evidence against him. He was sentenced to a detention without limit of time with a minimum punishment part of 20-years. He has always maintained his innocence.
Jodi Jones left her house after exchanging a series of text messages with her boyfriend Luke Mitchell at around 5pm. She was found horrifically mutilated in a woodland strip behind a six-foot high wall at 11:35pm.
Her boyfriend Luke Mitchell and his dog Mia found her along with Jodi’s sister, Jodi’s sister’s boyfriend and her gran while they searched the path together.
Upon arrival the police separated Luke from the rest of the search party and took him to Dalkeith police station to be forensically examined. The police did not consider the rest of the search party as important witnesses until almost five hours into the investigation. Their clothing would not be taken for examination until around six days after the murder. By the time they were handed in they had either been laundered or different items to the ones said to be worn on that night were handed in to the police.
Forensics arrived at the scene at 8am the following morning, some time prior to this, two identification officers had gathered up all Jodi’s clothing and belongings but they didn’t record how they were collected or packaged.
Jodi was rolled onto a plastic sheet, branches were cut down to make the scene more accessible and the body was not covered leaving any potential evidence exposed to the rain. No attempt was made to estimate the time of death, there are no records of liver temperature, or signs of rigor or livor mortis.
Bin collections still went ahead that day, as did council hedge cutting, and the high school very close by was open as normal with students using the surrounding paths to access the school, while Jodi’s body still lay there uncovered.
Due to the way the crime scene was managed, a lot of potential evidence was destroyed. Despite this there was one full DNA sample recovered from Jodi’s clothing which was a match to another member of the search party, Jodi’s sister’s boyfriend, one semen sample from a condom nearby Jodi’s body and three full samples of DNA which have yet to be matched to anybody. There were many other partial samples found made up of blood, semen and saliva. There was no DNA from Luke Mitchell found.
Despite having other leads to follow and forensic evidence from the scene pointing away from Luke Mitchell, the investigation remained focused on him throughout. The general feeling in the area was that Luke Mitchell would be arrested any day now. In fact, it would take ten months for the police to make an arrest, one which was based on a wholly circumstantial case. During those ten months the media reported almost daily coverage of the case. Luke Mitchell and his mother, Corrine were shot to infamy overnight.
With no direct evidence linking Luke to the crime, the investigation focused in on music and ‘goth culture’ in an attempt to explain why Luke might have murdered Jodi. Both Luke and Jodi were a part of the ‘nu-metal wave’ that was popular during the early 2000s as were many of their friends. The police thought this was important to the investigation and told the media, only five days after the murder;
“We will be looking at what Jodi and her social circle were interested in and an obvious area will be their ties to the Goth movement. We will be examining if the manner in which she was killed has any links to the violent world that many Goths find fascinating and will be speaking to all her friends who had similar interests.”
Fear swept through Dalkeith and the rumour mill went into overdrive. Luke’s school jotters, with quotes from popular video games scrawled across the front were used to imply he had a fascination with the devil.
Police statements reveal that they were asked to search Luke Mitchell’s house for anything related to the singer Marilyn Manson. The police investigation believed that Luke was obsessed with Manson and in particular a series of paintings done by the artist depicting the body of murder victim Elizabeth Short, more commonly known as ‘The Black Dahlia.’
The crown put to the jury that Mitchell was attempting to replicate the killing of Elizabeth Short. In contrast to this, the pathologist who examined Jodi’s body said that there were markedly dissimilarities between the injuries sustained by Elizabeth Short and Jodi Jones and any similarities were superficial.
The only things related to Marilyn Manson that were found during the search of Mitchell’s home was a torn-up calendar and a CD that he had bought two days after the murder. There was no evidence found on Luke’s computer that he had accessed these paintings and the officer who found them online said they were not easy to find.
After ten months of press coverage naming 14-year-old Luke Mitchell as the only suspect and portraying him as a Satanist obsessed with Marilyn Manson, black magic and the occult, was there any need for evidence to convince the judge and jury?
At appeal the crown decided that the Marilyn Manson and Black Dahlia evidence was not to be founded upon. The evidence that had been the backbone of the investigation into Luke Mitchell for ten months, kept the focus on Luke when all other evidence was pointing away from him, and had led to a 14-year-old child being portrayed as already guilty in the press before he was arrested and charged was not to be founded upon.
Discarding the evidence that had been used to portray Luke Mitchell as a killer obsessed with occult rituals and the devil, the crown set out three main pillars of evidence with twenty adminicles of evidence interwoven between these main pillars, that they believe the jury was entitled to base a guilty verdict on. The guilty verdict was based on broad presumptions and inferences in the crown’s case which contradicts exculpatory evidence put forward by the defence.
The circumstantial evidence that was used to convict Luke Mitchell does not hold up to scrutiny.
Pillar one is concerned with guilty knowledge. The crown claimed that Luke Mitchell had knowledge of where Jodi’s body was and that he led the search party straight to it. During the trial the other three members of the search party claimed that on the night of 30th June, Luke had led them to the body and that he was cold and emotionless.
During the first month of the investigation statements taken by these other three members of the search party were consistent with Luke’s version of events – that he had walked past the V-break in the wall, his dog was ‘air sniffing’ and jumping up at the wall so he doubled back and climbed over the V-break. All of the statements began to change after that first month in similar ways to imply that Luke led them right to Jodi’s body.
Pillar two was the evidence of witness ‘AB’ who claimed she had seen a male and a female at the Easthouses end of the path. Despite the descriptions she gave not matching Luke or Jodi and the timing of the sighting contradicting two other witness sightings by people who knew Jodi and the witness herself failing to identify Luke Mitchell in the dock, this sighting was accepted by the jury and is used to infer that Luke Mitchell was at the Easthouses end of the path and in the company of Jodi before her death.
Pillar three, Luke’s alibi. Luke claimed that he was at home cooking dinner at the time of the murder, this is corroborated by two landline telephone calls until 16:25, and his mother and brother [Shane Mitchell, hereby referenced as ‘SM’] from 16:25 to 17:30. He left his house at around 17:30 to wait for Jodi at the end of his street, where he was seen acting normally and wearing the same clothes he had on earlier at school that day, by a couple of boys who knew him. The investigation would not accept Luke’s alibi.
Luke’s mum and brother were charged with perverting the course of justice. These charges would later be dropped without the jury’s knowledge, just before Luke’s mother gave evidence in the trial.
When he was arrested for perverting the course of justice, ‘SM’ was subjected to the same nature of questioning that the police had used on Luke.
At appeal, judges described the nature of this questioning as “abhorrent,” saying “at times the nature of the questioning was such that the questioner did not seem to be interested in a response from the appellant, but rather endeavouring to break him down into giving some hoped for confession by his over bearing and hostile interrogation” (2008 appeal).
‘SM’ was told that if he didn’t tell the police what they wanted to hear he would go to jail for three years. At trial, ‘SM’ told the court, not that his brother was not in that evening but that he couldn’t be sure. The actions of the liaison officer that was assigned to the Mitchell family and who took ‘SM’s’ statement also came under fire at trial. She refused to accept what ‘SM’ was telling her instead using leading phrases like “picture this” and telling ‘SM’: “I can’t accept that.” She eventually conceded on the stand that the investigation was a “shambles.”
This is a case where the police focused in on a suspect based on lifestyle and image, despite having knowledge of exculpatory evidence and ignored or at the very least did not thoroughly investigate incriminating evidence pointing to others.
Should a 14-year old child be imprisoned for life based on a weak circumstantial case when there is DNA evidence found on the victim that doesn’t match him and is yet to be identified?
When you see through the moral panic that swept through the police investigation and the small town of Dalkeith is there really enough evidence to convict Luke Mitchell of murder and can it really be said that justice has been served for Jodi Jones?
As smugger-than-smug “grinning” Cheshire Cat Ferne McCann parades around as if she’s done nowt wrong, her nemesis ‘Lady Whistledown’ again quite rightly calls out this apologist for an acid thrower as the toxic toerag that this wicked wastrel truly is
Feckless freak Ferne McCann is undoubtedly a piece of trailer trash capable only of spouting tripe.
Here is a wastrel-not-even-a-woman with a brain so clearly stir-fried that it wouldn’t even have interested Jeffrey Dahmer to experiment with. Here also is a monster whose wicked words about the sixteen, yes sixteen, innocent victims the father of her child mercilessly hurled acid all over in 2017 in a London nightclub illustrates her as nothing but a noxious narcissistic.
Now, yesterday, thinking that the scandal of her vicious voice notes – featured in The Steeple Times last week and to which one victim of her evil ex-lover Arthur Collins responded: “Thank you for showing her for what she truly is; evil” – ‘Cheshire Cat-like’ Miss McCann was pictured in the MailOnline in what someone named Kenzi Devine pathetically promoted as a “picture exclusive.”
Of a “victim shaming” disgrace who shockingly called out one of Collins’ victims simply as a “silly b*tch,” Devine enthused that McCann “appeared in high spirits” as “she enjoyed a stroll around Essex.” Going further, this supposed ‘showbiz reporter’ toadily observed: “The former TOWIE [‘The Only Way Is Essex’] star, 32, flashed a grin while wrapping an arm around her other half’s neck and giving him a loving gaze, opting for a bare-faced look while heading to her local shops.”
Instead of calling out these clearly planned and posed for pictures of someone who excused an acid attack that wrecked the lives of sixteen innocent people, Devine turned her ‘feature’ into a fashion parade and continued:
“Heading out this weekend, Ferne kept comfortable in a pair of dark brown leggings and a light grey, quarter-zip sweater. She added a pair of colourful trainers with white crew socks over the athleisure, which had the word ‘ugh’ stitched into the ankle in black.”
“Ferne kept close to Lorri, who showed off his large collection of leg tattoos with a pair of black sport shorts, a long-sleeved black top and grey Nike gilet.”
“They appeared to be enjoying the trip out, sharing a laugh as the former TOWIE star leaned in close to her man and wrapped around his neck.”
Frankly, Kenzi Devine should be ashamed of herself for writing what should only be referenced as ‘dire drivel’ and rightly last night, the nemesis of Ferne McCann that is ‘Lady Whistledown’ came back at the TV twerp and told her Instagram followers:
“I think everyone should email a complaint to ITV about [Ferne McCann’s] behaviour. This woman has been given a huge platform influencing the younger generation and by the looks of it ITV are condoning this woman fat shaming and now using derogatry words to a poor, innocent victim who has been through enough.”
Today, we echo these sentiments and urge readers to email [email protected] to offer condemnation of this sicker-than-sick shameless piece of toxic toerag. Ferne McCann should be cancelled and she should be taken off the air for once and for all. There is no room in Britain for this kind of cretin; in fact, there’s no room for her anywhere at all.
Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.
The smugger-than-smug friend of the creepy Christian crooner Sir Cliff Richard and the queue jumper Philip Schofield pictured with her latest foolish fiancé Lorri Haines – who obnoxiously declares himself as a “family man, on a journey, quantum thinker, introvert geek, health is wealth, grateful to be alive and for everything I have” to his 170,000 followers on Instagram – in pictures so clearly planned and posed. Does this hapless harridan have no sympathy for the victims she so clearly insulted? Clearly, the answer to that is only: “NO, NO AND BLOODY WELL NO.”The ‘MailOnline’s’ Kenzi Devine clearly thinks it correct to write about the fashion of Ferne McCann and Lorri Haynes rather than actually focusing on victims. Her “picture exclusive” deserves calling out for the tripe that it truly was. The pictures included are clearly posed and were clearly planned and she ought to acknowledge that these images did not come about by chance.The Instagram account @ladywhistledown195 quite rightly told its 68,900 followers to email ITV to demand the taking down of a woman who has so viciously attacked 16 victims of a vile acid attack (left) whilst in another image taken previously Ferne McCann’s vicious behaviour to others was shown when she launched into a tirade against fellow ‘TOWIE’ participant Gemma Collins. It is time that this wicked woman was cancelled for once and for all.
Twitter users take a view on the shameless self-publicist Ferne McCann…
Though Tory twerp Shaun Bailey got away with partying with billionaire Nick Candy during the 2020 lockdowns, that this ludicrous loser and electoral disaster area might now get a seat in the House of Lords courtesy of his chum Boris Johnson is utterly outrageous
Whilst the dimwitted dunce Emma Dent-Coad was shown to be an abhorrent bigot when she described Shaun Bailey, the subsequently trounced and utterly inept Conservative London mayoral candidate in May 2021, as a “token ghetto boy,” that he might now make it to the House of Lords is frankly ludicrous.
Beyond batshit bonkers Bailey, who partied with the billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy in December 2020 at Conservative Central Office in spite of strict lockdown rules being in place at the time, it was yesterday revealed was subject to no action. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police shared that “there was not enough to ‘disprove the version of events provided by attendees,’” The Guardian’s political correspondent Peter Walker yesterday reported.
Whilst countless ordinary folk were fined and named and shamed, that the hapless police force then headed by the disastrous dimwit Dame Cressida Dick opted to let off the pontificating pillock Bailey is an utter outrage, but what is worse is that it has also been suggested that Boris Johnson has nominated him for a seat in the House of Lords in his resignation honours list.
A self-declared “different dude” who has branded himself “gobby and dangerous,” Bailey not only lost to Sadiq Khan but also offered idiotic policies such as giving free burglar alarms to pensioners. He once also suggested that the 60,000 plus “homeless people in the capital would be able to save up for a £5,000 deposit to buy a share in a newly-built affordable home.”
Another blunder came in since quite rightly removed comments he left on the Conservative Women’s Organisation website. There, he observed: “If you could get girls to accept less of men’s rubbish then men would have to change because ultimately men are after a girl.”
Is this moronic man fit for elevation to the House of Lords? The answer is unequivocally: “NO!”
Pictured top – This likely future Lord claimed to offer “a fresh start for London” yet the electorate simply thought he was selling washing powder. They didn’t like the quality of his powder and they universally rejected this gobby goon and sent him packing; why then is he suitable for the House of Lords?
Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.
Who’s more stupid and who is ghastlier: Shaun Bailey or Owen Jones? During a 16:29 minute YouTube feature in May 2019, Bailey declared: “Nobody has a monopoly on common sense,” but then went on to prove he’s totally lacking in even an ounce of such.Shaun Bailey pictured with Nick Candy and others at a Christmas party during lockdown 2020 at Conservative Central Office at 4 Matthew Parker Street, London, SW1H 9HQ. Shaun Bailey with Boris Johnson. The fact that the pair “get on well” was proof enough that the loopy wannabe Mayor of London was unfit for high office.That Shaun Bailey was also snapped “minglin’” with Priti Patel illustrated the low qualities of those he chose to associate with him. That a woman voted a “snitch” and a “neighbour from hell” was someone he opted to be snapped with on the campaign trail was proof enough that he simply didn’t have his finger on the pulse.The now former London mayoral candidate with former Prime Minister David Cameron. The smug look on this duo’s faces sums up the “f**k the rest of you” attitude of these opportunists; here is a pair whose involvement in politics has caused nothing but disaster for everyone whilst their own pockets get deeper.In January 2019, ‘The Red Roar’ reported Bailey was forced to return donations to his campaign from an “impermissible donor” linked to the Paradise Papers scandal. His judgment is so piss poor that quite rightly now the public are quite rightly outraged that he could be elevated to the House of Lords.
As respected BBC News and Sky News journalist Simon McCoy slams the “hypocrisy” of Omid Scobie for “trashing” real journalists, we remind ‘MeGain’s Mouthpiece’ that he is nothing but a pathetic PR peddler whilst the Duchess of Sussex’s very own sister Samantha Markle claims him to be “throwing out red herrings to deflect from the truth”
Omid Scobie doesn’t like making friends in the press; actually, he doesn’t like making friends full stop. Though he attempts to pretend to be a real journalist, he’s now being called out by real journalists and yesterday respected former BBC News and Sky News newsreader Simon McCoy became the latest to slam the tittle-tattling Finding Freedom ‘author.’
On Sunday, McCoy – who married the Dynasty star Emma Samms MBE in 2021 – politely tweeted: “Dear Omid, if I may. Your hypocrisy is astounding. You are no better than those of us who tried – honestly – to report on the Royal Family for years. But you apparently know better. Stop trashing those of us who have been this profession for a while. We see you.”
Responding to his comments, Twitter users subsequently told McCoy: “Shout it from the rooftops” and “he’s not a reporter, he’s a paid shrill.” One claimed: “Scoobie [sic] really is the pits!” whilst another added: “He knows zilch.” Labels of “trash media” and “he’s thick” came of the Duchess of Sussex’s PR peddler also and someone going by the handle ‘Juju Bean’ surmised: “He only speaks when Markle has something to say and gives him permission to say it.”
Sensibly, another account in the name of one Audrey Johnson concluded: “If @scobie titles himself as a ‘royal journalist,’ I’m the bloody Queen of Sheba. He is under some kind of illusion that the British public are stupid! We are well aware he is MM’s mouth piece, what she orders him to report he reports!!”
Elsewhere, corresponding via email with The Steeple Times over the weekend further to her exclusive interviews with us last week, the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle’s very own sister, Samantha Markle, poignantly observed:
“It seems Omid Scobie is in denial and throwing out red herrings to deflect from the truth and what transpired [when Meghan Markle embarked on joining the royal family].”
“No one can say she didn’t know what to expect from royal life because her PR made it clear that she went through ‘duchess school.’ She knew what the expectations were, and what the protocol was.”
“It was reported that she only spent 72 days total in royal duty before quitting to allegedly pursue a life in ‘Hollywood.’ Not surprisingly, she never gave up her agent and manager in Hollywood, or her citizenship.”
“Could leaving have been a plan from the beginning? Omid Scobie was also noted as being a close personal friend, so perhaps he knew about it.”
“I think Omid Scobie’s credibility has been called into question several times especially after he allegedly admitted that Megan lied in the Oprah interview.”
“All things taken together, it seems that it’s not that they didnt accept her, but it seems more the case that she didn’t like rules, truth and protocol, and it seems like she wanted to jump to the top of the hierarchy after only putting in 72 days of royal duty.”
“Maybe what they couldn’t accept was the constant breaking of protocol, disrespect, and the lying. Who can blame them for feeling betrayed and not accepting that? But apparently Omid Scobie can’t seem to wrap his brain around the fact that betrayal and dishonesty have consequences.”
Pictured top – Twitter users really dislike the ‘Finding Freedom’ author and regularly create memes of his plastic not fantastic face.
Allegations have swirled in recent months that the woman then known as Meghan Markle spent time on yachts in 2012 and in the years before. Here is a picture of her with someone alleged to be Omid Scobie in Cannes around that time. If the man in the sunglasses is genuinely the ‘Finding Freedom’ author, it is one of the only known photographs in the public domain of the pugnacious pair together. One is left asking: “If they are as close as Scobie likes to brag and boast, why do they avoid being seen in public together?”
Twitter responds to Omid Scobie’s diatribe of drivel about what he claims to know about Prince Harry’s disgraceful diatribe of drivel that is his forthcoming tittle-tattling tome ‘Spare’…
That motormouthed MP Diane Abbott took to Twitter to defend a migrant rapist simply shows her as an utter twerp; perhaps, instead, she should focus on controlling her own son – a brat who likes to go around exposing himself –instead first
In January 2020, Diane Abbott MP’s son, James Abbott-Thompson, was charged with nine assaults, exposure and racially aggravated criminal damage. By March that year, aside from having exposed himself, this then 28-year-old had also spat at and punched one police officer and bitten the thumb of another, yet now his mother thinks she can wade into the migrant crisis and share her views on alleged sexual assaults.
Ms Abbott, a woman well known to be of mind stir-fried, took to Twitter last week and announced: “Teenage boy raped at hotel housing refugees. Terrible case. But it is what happens when you demonise migrants take NO responsibility for safeguarding migrant children.”
Going further in spite of very rightly being condemned for sharing such a glaringly inappropriate and morally repugnant excuse for rape, she continued: “My earlier tweet regarding the rape of the teenager in the migrant home may have been slightly raw in context but I maintain my theory, you treat migrants like rapists then they are going to behave like rapists.”
Strangely, this mother of a clearly wayward wastrel, then deleted the second tweet. Strange that, very strange indeed; shame on Diane Abbott and shame on all those who’ve subsequently come out and excused her wicked words.
The weird, weird words of the Labour Member of Parliament for Hackney North and Stoke Newington
On the ex-Labour leader, who she used to ‘enjoy’ sexual relations with, Jeremy Corbyn:
“Jeremy is always right.”
On his replacement as Labour leader (but not as her lover, allegedly) Sir Keir Starmer MP:
“Talks nonsense… Is quite strange.”
“On the question of Keir Starmer, I think we have to look at some of his advisors. It now seems that Peter Mandelson is a top advisor to Keir Starmer.”
“We only have to look at Peter Mandelson’s life and times to understand where he stands in relation to the wealthy and the powerful.”
“I think Keir Starmer’s problems are his advisors and he needs to be listening to his own party and grass roots party members more.”
“Keir Starmer’s people are spinning it, but in 2017, people forget you know, Jeremy got more votes than any other Labour leader and, you know, if he hadn’t had most of the PLP attacking him night and day, he might possibly have won in 2017.”
Responding to be accused of not being able to add up:
“I do know my figures.”
“Of course, I think things through.”
“I’m here, of course I’m here. I’m doing a media interview, I’m going on to do another media interview. There’s no truth that I’m not in the media talking about what happened.”
“I think I’m Shadow Home Secretary.”
Diane Abbott on the cost of recruiting 10,000 police officers:
“If we recruit 10,000 police officers, men and women, over a four year period, we believe it will be about £300,000… Sorry, I mean, they will cost, it will cost, erm, about £80 million.”
“We will be paying them the average, it’s been thought through. Of course it’s been thought through.”
“What we said is, of course, we’ll find the money to recruit the 10,000 police people by cutting the, cutting the money… I think that would give us 170, erm, sorry… We would find the money by restoring levels of capital gains tax.”
On racism:
“The British invented racism.”
“White people love playing divide and rule. We should not play their game… I don’t think saying that is racist… It was part of a sequenced debate that I said that.”
“We need unity between black, Asian, minority ethnic and Muslim people – we need the maximum public show of unity. Because time after time, in the past 32 years, I’ve seen efforts of people to organise disrupted by white people.”
On dogs:
“I was a postman one Christmas and I developed a morbid fear of dogs.”
On her own marriage:
“I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn’t.”
On “outsiders” and “insiders”:
“Outsiders often have an insight than an insider doesn’t quite have.”
On being an MP:
“Being an MP is a good job, the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children – clean, indoors and no heavy lifting. What could be nicer?”
“I want power. I suppose that’s the story of my life – seeking power.”
“I’m in politics to be a voice for people who don’t have a voice.”
On the Kurdistan Workers’ Party:
“There is no difference between the PKK and ISIS.”
On the vile piece of toerag and one-time friend of Ghislaine Maxwell and the late croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that is Naomi Campbell:
“I am a fangirl of Naomi Campbell.”
On why she wanted to be Labour’s candidate to be Mayor of London:
“One of my advantages, if I was Labour’s candidate, is that loads of people know me. I’m not just talking about politics – they’ve seen me on Come Dine With Me, they’ve seen me on Pointless.”
“I am not associated with the past.”
On women in Northern Ireland:
“Women in Northern Ireland are second class citizens.”
Diane Abbott on supporting the IRA:
“Defeat for the British state would be a great liberation. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”
On supposedly changing her views on supporting the IRA:
“It was 34 years ago, I had a rather splendid afro at the time. I don’t have the same hairstyle, I don’t’ have the same views. It was 34 years on. The hairstyle is gone, some of the views are gone.”
On supposedly changing her views about MI5:
“At that time, I and a lot of people felt MI5 needed reforming. It has since been reformed and, of course, I would not call for its abolition now. That MI5 has gone. It’s been reformed, it’s a different MI5 and that’s why so many of us are able to support it now.”
Diane Abbott on Mao Zedong:
“I suppose some people will judge that on balance Mao did more good than harm… He led his country from feudalism, he helped to defeat the Japanese and he left his country on the verge of the great economic success they are having now. I was just putting the case for Mao.”
Insulting white mothers:
“West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.”
On being a mother:
“I put being a mother ahead of being a politician.”
On the son she sent to a private school, who went on to commit various criminal offences:
“I knew what could happen to my son if he was sent to the wrong school and got in with the wrong crowd.”
On abortion:
“Abortion is an issue of conscience for the Labour party.”
“I believe every abortion is a tragedy.”
Diane Abbott on sex:
“Of course, sex is great. We don’t have to pretend otherwise.”
On masculinity:
“There is a crisis of masculinity in Britain because of the pressures rapid economic and social change have placed on masculine identity. A generation of men are in transit and unclear of their social role. They are also under pressure to live up to pornified ideals.”
Diane Abbott on her decision to send her criminal son to a private school:
“[It was] indefensible and intellectually incoherent.”
“I’m not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school, but I’m the only one who’s questioned about it.”
On parenting:
“When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the Internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with the latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.”
“Tackling obesity is key… Families are struggling against a tide of junk information on junk food.”
On being demoted to the backbenches:
“I was a backbencher for a few years and there is an awful lot to do on the backbenches.”
On her political strategy:
“[I am going to stop Labour going into a] dead end.”
“In politics, the people I most despise are those who have no values.”
On defending the indefensible:
“You can’t defend the indefensible. Anything you say sounds self-serving and hypocritical.”
On her many mistakes:
“You learn from your mistakes.”
On her future plans:
“I want to write a best-selling book.”
On being intensely disliked:
“[I am the] most abused of any Labour MP ever.”
And a final word from Diane Abbott herself:
“This is going round in circles… I’ve got nothing more to say, I’ve got nothing more to say.”
One of several recent tweets by the Labour Member of Parliament for Hackey North and Stoke Newington that rightly enraged members of the public. With a mouth larger than China and more front than Harrods, here, yet again, is just another example of why this ridiculous woman is totally unfit for high office.
Twitter reacts to Jeremy Corbyn’s former lover @HackneyAbbott making a twerp of herself yet again on Twitter…
As Omid Scobie claims that drippy Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ will reveal “the real truth” about him and his mendacious menace wife ‘MeGain,’ we say: Please spare us
“Unless I’m missing something, what really would be a revelation would be for Harry to admit that, all things considered, he’s led a rather cushy, privileged life and if one of the worst things that happened to him was that he was born only second in line to the throne, then he might have done better not to have taken a reported £20 million for a four-book deal – does anyone want to read Harry on leadership and wellness? – and to have sucked it up and not made such a fuss” remarked John Crace this morning in The Guardian in his ‘Digested Week’ column.
Quite right in his analysis, Crace hit the nail bang on the head, yet elsewhere yesterday the House of Sussex’s always predictably toady tin-banging twerp Omid Scobie decided to claim “the media’s got it all wrong about Prince Harry’s memoir.” Doing as he was no doubt told, as he always does when the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle no doubt put in a call, this PR peddler went further and declared to his extremely limited Yahoo! News UK audience: “Here’s the real truth.”
Whilst anyone with a quarter of a brain would admit that senseless Scobie wouldn’t know “truth” it gnawed him repeatedly in the arse, the Finding Freedom ‘author’ whined about the “angered reactions” to the forthcoming diatribe of drivel that is Spare and suggested the media were claiming “quelle surprise, ‘all Meghan’s doing.’”
Lauding the title of the tittle-tattling tome as a “punchy choice,” the unsophisticated former Heat gossip columnist and onetime mate of glamour ‘model’ Jodie Marsh continued his arse licking and declared:
“So far, only the smallest official details about the book’s 416 pages have been released by the publisher. They describe SPARE as a title written with ‘raw, unflinching honestly,’ a book that is filled with ‘insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom.’ I’d expect nothing less from prolific ghostwriter J. R. Moehringer, who is famous for encouraging his subjects to switch on the lights in the darkest parts of their story.”
Going further and bragging that he’s allegedly already seen the finished product, Scobie added:
“Among those who have already had sight of the book’s manuscript, Harry’s journey of being the spare, plus that difficult decision to change his destiny and start a new life elsewhere, serve as significant parts of the book. Filled with the prince’s trademark cheekiness, this memoir also tells a surprisingly relatable life story. Sure, its opulent royal backdrop is far beyond a world any of us will ever know, but themes explored in SPARE should resonate with readers from all backgrounds.”
“For all the tabloid reports about Harry supposedly ‘trashing’ his family (spoiler alert: he doesn’t), the book actually offers a more sympathetic look at the realities of their near-impossible existence. There were also no last-minute rewrites or edits after the Queen’s death. SPARE’s manuscript was completed almost five months before the monarch’s passing, a detail that will be acknowledged in a note at the start of the book.”
“Hundreds of journalists, including myself, have written versions and fragments of the duke’s story over the years. It’s a story that, as a working member of the Royal Family, he has long been unable to tell himself. Now, having created an independent life away from the confines of the royal institution, Harry finally has the chance to set often-inaccurately reported records straight. The freedom of speech. And no matter how you may feel about the man, it’s hard not to agree he should have the right to that.”
Elsewhere this week, speaking exclusively to The Steeple Times, the wicked wench formerly known as Meghan Markle’s somewhat more sensible sister, Samantha, declared of Spare: “’Spare’ us all the hypocritical pity party.” She is right and this book deserves only one thing; pulping.
Pictured top – Twitter users unsurprisingly loathe and detest the mouthpiece of the Duchess of Sussex and mocked his ‘Finding Freedom’ as ‘Finding French Fries’ recently.
Attempting to move the story onto his never-sorry-self, the ‘Finding Freedom’ PR peddling pillock shared news about how he’d been on the stage at Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon. He tweeted: “This year’s @WebSummit was the first to include stages focused on media, publishing and journalism so I was excited to be invited to speak, share stories, and discuss some of the challenges our industries are facing (from cancel culture to misinformation) and how to tackle them.” It was a shame he didn’t share that he’s the queen of misinformation himself.In August 2020, the ‘Daily Mail’ shared that plastic-not-fantastic Omid previously worked at gossip magazine ‘Heat’ and partied with the ‘glamour model’ Jodie Marsh. They mentioned how somebody had “airbrushed” Meghan Markle’s “entry on the online encyclopedia Wikipedia… to include more flattering details days before her romance with Prince Harry became public” and illustrated the ‘Finding Freedom’ author’s “drastic transformation” in two very different photographs. Maniac Scobie is someone who most definitely would like his past forgotten, but here again we remind him that he’s actually just a two-faced twerp who spins nothing but nonsense.
