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.
Oxford born former secretary of Ghislaine Maxwell sues ‘Miami Herald’ journalist Julie K. Brown for defamation; actress Emmy Tayler, daughter of a retired Oxford professor, perhaps should have been in ‘Inspector Morse’ instead of getting involved with the mucky madam
Whenever Oxford is mentioned, one naturally thinks of the oldest university in the English-speaking world, its eponymous dictionary and Inspector Morse, amongst other things.
Whilst the latter conjures images of Detective Chief Inspector Endeavour Morse’s involvement with classical music and calamitous murders, the county town of Oxfordshire – which dates back to the Saxon period and has been the principal site for the production of Mini cars since 2000 – this 17 square mile city represented by Labour’s Anneliese Dodds MP’s connections with Ghislaine Maxwell were further revealed this week.
Now, on Tuesday, another of Maxwell’s Oxford connections, her former secretary, Emmy Tayler, announced via lawyers AXS Law Group, PLLC that she is to sue the Miami Herald journalist Julie K. Brown and the publisher of her 2021 book Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story, HarperCollins Publishers LLC for “publishing false and defamatory statements.”
Seeking a sum of in excess of £62,700 ($75,000, €73,600 or درهم275,400), Ms Tayler – who describes herself on IMBD as Oxford born and the daughter of a “recently retired professor” from there – claims Brown to have caused her “to suffer shame, humiliation, mental anguish and hurt feelings.” She adds that the journalist’s statements have “severely impacted and affected [her] mental health” in a 7-page document filed at the United States District Court Southern District of Florida on Tuesday 19th July 2022.
Going further, in the filing and denying Brown’s accusations that she aided in Epstein’s abuse, Tayler states that she was employed in London and then New York by Ghislaine Maxwell between 1997 and 2001. She specifically states that she did not work for Maxwell at the time of an incident Brown alleged her to be involved with Jane Doe 1 in Palm Beach, Florida in 2005 and demands the book be recalled.
Aside from having grown up in the same city as Ghislaine Maxwell, it is not known how the two actually met. Ms Tayler, who supposedly now lives in London according to her undated IMBD biography but potentially has lived somewhere else entirely since August 2020 if the New York Post is to be believed, “studied at Millfield School, where she was a Music Scholar. She pursued her passion for the violin, piano, singing, horseback riding, drama and karate. She attended The University of Westminster where she achieved a B/A Honors and a Degree in Commercial Music that was followed by the Central School of Speech and Drama, London. Shortly thereafter Emmy immigrated to New York, then to Los Angeles.”

‘Miami Herald’ journalist and author Julie K. Brown, 61, has long had deep involvement in the Epstein-Maxwell story. She was included in ‘Time’ magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People of 2020’ and saw her book ‘Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story’ published in July 2021. Emmy Tayler claims statements made in the book falsely identify “her as a co-conspirator, aider and abettor, facilitator and/or assistant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse pyramid scheme” and argues that she lived in Los Angeles and not Palm Beach in 2005 – the year in which Brown references her as “[arranging] Epstein’s massage schedule.”According to a tweet sent by @CultStateDotCom on 1st December 2021 and taken from flight records that have been disputed by some, Maxwell’s PA Emmy Tayler flew on Epstein’s planes 190 times whilst the since croaked paedophile’s PA Sarah Kellen took 350 flights. His former girlfriend, Eva Andersson Dubin, took ‘just’ 36 flights whilst the since croaked paedophile sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel is said to have taken 34 flights, Gleen Dubin 27 and President Bill Clinton an astonishing 26.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.Headington Hill Hall was the scene of many an event hosted by the Maxwell family during their 32 years of renting it from the local council. It was built in 1824 for the Morrell family, local brewers, and was visited by Oscar Wilde – “gaudily dressed as Prince Rupert” – for an “all-night fancy dress May Ball” on 1st May 1878. The building now has housed a law school since 1992.Others who made connections with the wicked wastrel woman we believe to be the controller of the sex trafficking and blackmail operation in the city where she grew up and was educated were Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his journalist sister, Rachel Johnson. In November 2021, in ‘The Spectator,’ Ms Johnson remarked: “It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell… As a fresher I wandered into Balliol JCR one day in search of its subsidised breakfast granola-and-Nescafé offering and found a shiny glamazon with naughty eyes holding court astride a table, a high-heeled boot resting on my brother Boris’s thigh. She gave me a pitying glance but I did manage to snag an invite to her party in Headington Hill Hall – even though I wasn’t in the same college as her and Boris. I have a memory of her father, Bob, coming out in a towelling robe and telling us all to go home. I’m sure fairweather friends would not reveal they went to a Ghislaine Maxwell party: as Barbara Amiel’s brilliant memoir ‘Friends and Enemies’ proves, you only know who your real chums are when you’re in the gutter.”John Thaw as Detective Chief Inspector Morse – based on the novels of Colin Dexter – starred in 33 two-hour episodes produced between 1987 and 2000. Based primarily in the university city, the detective drama featured a theme and incidental music by Barrington Pheloung and was followed by spinoffs including ‘Lewis’ and ‘Endeavour.’ What the detective would have made of Ghislaine Maxwell – whom if he had been real, he’d surely likely have encountered – would have been most fascinating.
The latest murky mind games of the mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell – including a demand to be put in a British rather than an American prison – illustrate her to be as warped as her deviant daddy
Now as sentencing approaches on 28th June after her December 2021 conviction, this deviant is again playing games and this morning managed to get her convenient-as-ever unnamed “sources” to peddle piffle to The Mail on Sunday about how she wants to serve jail time in a British prison in spite of having been convicted and brought to justice in America.
Speaking to the paper’s Caroline Graham “in Los Angeles” for a feature article yesterday, the “source” whined of a woman who once barricaded herself in a prison conference with a trolley and who was caught at the ironically named ‘TuckedAway’ with a mobile phone wrapped in tin foil:
“Ghislaine will apply to serve out the remainder of her sentence, whatever that may be, in the UK as soon as she is able.”
“She wants to be in the UK to be closer to her family so she can have family visits. The prisons in Britain are far superior to those in the US and the Brits treat prisoners more humanely. The American system is a disgrace.”
“If she has to spend time in prison she would rather do it in the UK, where people are treated fairly and with a measure of decency.”
Going further the article again referenced Jeffrey Epstein’s co-collaborator in wicked abuse as moaning about being “kept in ‘inhumane’ conditions” and added: “On one day recently she claims to have eaten only a boiled egg and three slices of processed cheese.” We respond: “Diddums for this vegan vagabond.”
Today, we remind readers of The Steeple Times that ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ daughter has exhibited the same deviancy as her father throughout her until 2019 lush life. Aside from the apparently aborted 1994 Metropolitan Police investigation into her activities in London – which rather oddly led to no charges in spite of clear evidence of odd activities going on at her then home in South Kensington involving young girls – it is apparent that there is much more still to come from this sordid story.
It is also most definitely now time for those who Miss Maxwell trafficked to were also named, shamed and brought to justice as, after all, the conviction of a supplier requires for that supplier to have actually supplied to someone. Bring on the next arrests and meanwhile let this pension pot plunderer’s daughter see out her days in an American clink.
Pictured top – Last seen in London at a bash for the Cash & Rocket rally in the summer of 2019 in the company of the likes of ‘Twit Girls’ including Chloe Green, Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury, this mendacious menace has now swapped being a socialite for being a jailbird. No more Krug for this wicked wench, just processed cheese.
Ghislaine Maxwell with her chum Prince Andrew and accuser Virginia Roberts at her then home in Belgravia, London. During the 2016 deposition, Miss Maxwell referred to Miss Roberts, subsequently known as Virginia Giuffre, as a “liar” hundreds of times. Given Prince Andrew’s £12 million payout to this lady, it is now the mucky madam who is confirmed as the actual liar.Jeffrey Epstein’s former lover and co-collaborator in the abuse and trafficking of young girls used to live the high life with her late dodgy daddy and the likes of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. She’s now consigned to where she actually belongs – the clink – and though she may moan about the conditions she has to endure, she deserves reminding that if you do bad things, you end up in bad places. Long may this evil piece of toerag rot.Elsewhere today, after his “convenient coronavirus” during the Jubilee celebrations, non-sweater Prince Andrew has been sidelined and will NOT be attending today’s Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. In spite of being stripped of his official royal duties, this delusional national embarrassment supposedly still believes that “he should be included in other royal and state events.”Meanwhile yesterday at CrimeCon 2022 in London, in spite of bombarding Matthew Steeples of ‘The Steeple Times’ with frankly nonsensical, untrue rubbish and claiming he was going to attend to confront him during an interview he was giving, Ghislaine Maxwell’s condescending PR peddler Brian Basham showed himself as a cowardy custard and did a no-show. He was called out by members of the audience and even sent a tweet by co-host of the discussion Jennifer Hopkins asking why he’d chickened out. Known primarily for his links to the ‘Dirty Tricks’ British Airways scandal in the 1990s, Steeples shared with the audience that Basham and others such as the extremist ‘Politicalite’ pontificater Jay Beecher continue to speak out on behalf of a convicted criminal sex trafficker and this speaks heavily of their curious attitudes to victims of vile sexual abuse by those they willingly choose to associate with.
Whilst Cardinal (John) Henry Newman got made a saint, Carrie Johnson’s Abba dancing buddy Henry Newman has been binned and turfed out with the rubbish
Oxford University educated Cardinal John Henry Newman was canonised as a saint in the Catholic Church in October 2019. Meanwhile earlier that year, his namesake, a spad of plainer birth but of the same alma mater, “discretely charmed by the bourgeoisie” Henry John Newman, got himself elevated when his Abba dancing partner, Carrie Johnson, got her clammering claws on the keys to the nation’s second most famous home, 10 Downing Street.
Now, whilst supposedly “sublimated homosexual” Saint John Henry Newman C.O. – despite having being dead for 132 years – is considered a “national treasure” and described as “the first English saint of the modern era” according to The Tablet, his openly gay namesake was this weekend turfed out of Downing Street with the rubbish.
Gone for Brexiteer ‘Bin Boy’ Henry Newman – who was bizarrely photographed pointing at bags of refuse in Camden in 2017 whilst standing to become a councillor – will be the days of quaffing booze on the terrace of the half acre garden behind the official residences of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Now, instead, this graduate also of equally fabled institutions including Harvard and the London School of Economics, will have to pleasure himself with a pint in a pub in The Marquis of Granby after days working in the less salubrious surrounds of Marsham Street back with his supposed sometime flatmate Michael Gove.
According to the Daily Mail’s Andrew Pierce this morning, Newman was so important to Carrie Johnson that the Prime Minister allowed him to celebrate his 38th birthday last summer – hardly a milestone of any note – with a lavish bash at Chequers, the grace-and-favour residence intended for entertaining visiting statesmen and international dignitaries.
“It turned out to be a very high-spirited affair,” Pierce reported, with “Housing Secretary Michael Gove riding pillion as Boris Johnson took him on a joy-ride on his second-hand Yamaha motorcycle around the grounds. Gove clasped his hands around Boris’s ample waist as they nudged speeds of 55mph, while Newman – clutching a flute of champagne – laughed and cheered.”
Gone now are such privileges and gone also is Newman’s desk close to Boris Johnson’s study and instead this alleged “Chatty Rat” – if we are to believe Dominic Cummings – “has been banished to work with his former mentor Gove at his departmental HQ a 15-minute walk away in Marsham Street.” This once influential spad – whom once suggested on Facebook: “[What I’m] thinking [is that] this country needs is a new taskforce” – it appears, has been disposed just like a binbag full of stinking, rotten fish.
For Newman, this downgrade will no doubt seem heartless and unfair, but, as Pierce added: “It was [his] intimate relationship with Mrs Johnson that has proved his undoing.” He now faces likely criticism into what went on with ‘Partygate’ in Sue Gray’s report and as the journalist concluded: “There will be fewer cosy chats in the Downing Street flat in the future.”
Elsewhere, in a ‘Comment’ piece this morning, The Sun declared: “Only time will tell if the ‘greased piglet’ [Boris Johnson’ left it too late to escape” slaughter by his very own party. They neglected to remark on how it will continue to go from bad to worse for his spendaholic, power crazed wife ‘Carrie Antoinette’ now that she’s lost “her rock” and equivalent of Paul Burrell to the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
A fan of wearing beanie hats that declare: “Let’s get Brexit done,” here is a young man who taught politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), after studying at the University of Oxford, Harvard University and the London School of Economics. Henry Newman reportedly then “cut his teeth” working in the Cabinet Office during the coalition government years and then joined Michael Gove’s entourage in the Ministry of Justice after he was appointed as the Lord Chancellor in 2015.Aside from having travelled to Russia in his youth, Henry Newman joined the Vote Leave campaign during the 2016 referendum campaign and, according to ‘The Telegraph’ “was among a close circle of Mr Gove’s friends who were said to have helped to convince him to ‘knife’ Mr Johnson and torpedo his bid for the Tory leadership by deciding to run himself.” Later, a director of the pro-Brexit Open Europe think-tank, Newman was then rewarded for being “loyal” to his wine chucking bestie Carrie Symonds when Boris Johnson came to power.
‘Bin Boy’ Henry Newman’s words of wisdom on Facebook…
“Is drunk.”
“Is opening an organic box.”
“Is discreetly charmed by the bourgeoisie.”
“Is drowning in honey, stingless.”
“Once you kill a cow you gotta make a burger.”
“Wondering if he is really a top concern for US immigration.”
“Waiting for Jacqui Smith to resign.”
“Is dancing, dancing, dancing… Is listening to rumba in W. Hartford… Is dancing in the dark… Is missing dancing.”
“Is listening to the Stones while the economy collapses.”
“Is watching his tan fall off.”
“Hates people who don’t know how to use a rowing machine.”
“Is thinking what this country needs is a new taskforce.”
Descriptions of Henry Newman by…
Boris Johnson:
“One of my three musketeers.”
Carrie Symonds:
“One of my four favourite people.”
Toby Young:
“He is a new role model… If you were a [politics show] booker who had to find someone… Newman was the only name on your Rolodex.”
“As the oxygen went out of Theresa May’s premiership, and her withdrawal agreement began to breathe its last, the great balloon of his career became more and more inflated.”
Dominic Cummings:
“All the evidence [regarding the second lockdown leak] definitely leads to Henry Newman… I’m just trying to get the communications data to prove it.”
An unnamed “senior government source”:
“The allegations against Henry Newman are entirely false. He wouldn’t be working in Downing Street if he was suspected of leaking information.”
An unnamed “Downing Street insider” to The Mail on Sunday:
“This is the man who did more than anyone to encourage Michael [Gove] to stab Boris in the back.”
“But he’s used his relationship with Carrie to ingratiate himself back into the inner circle. He’s always up in the flat with her, and that gives him direct access to the PM. The rest of the No. 10 team have no idea what he’s saying to him. And that’s the root cause of a lot of this.”
Newman’s childish Facebook posts are not indicative of someone of academic note and his rise through government should be questioned as a result. Did he get there because of merit or simply because he was a ‘FOC’ (‘Friend of Carrie’)? The answer seems very, very clear.Henry Newman, like fellow mouthy sorts such as Diane Abbott, Jay Beecher and Owen Jones, likes to pontificate and peddle, but when called out, he simply hits the block button. Hardly the actions of someone who would like to think himself an able debater at the Oxford Union and more those of someone ‘trained’ by the wine chucking harpy Carrie Johnson.
As Lord Ashcroft sticks the knife into feckless ‘first lady’ Carrie Johnson, this deservedly called out power crazy spendaholic’s regime comes crashing down
Carrie Johnson is very much fair game given her clear arrogance and busybodying in a place where she has no elected position.
The first Prime Minister’s wife in modern history to be overtly political herself – an arena even the equally derided barrister Cherie Blair didn’t delve too far into whilst her husband was in office – the current Mrs Johnson was astoundingly named as one of twenty-eight disruptors who’ll shape 2022 by Politico Europe in December last year in spite of the fact that she has no formal role in government.
Now, with this morning’s bombshell from Lord Ashcroft – a billionaire senior member and once bigtime financial supporter of the Conservative party – with the announcement of the serialisation of his biography of Britain’s current “first lady” in The Mail on Sunday, the innards of this feckless 33-year-old’s “regime” are set to be further highlighted.
Features on the wench formerly known as Carrie Symonds and nicknamed ‘Carrie Antoinette,’ ‘Carrie On Regardless,’ ‘Princess Nut Nut’ and ‘Ann Boleyn’ variously in The Steeple Times have attracted huge amounts of attention in the last months and it is for good reason given her “tempestuous” nature and “interfering” antics.
Our revelation of Mrs Johnson’s links with a charity, Oceana, in which the now convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell was very heavily involved prior to her arrest have been excused by some as simply “poor judgment.” However, that this daughter of the co-founder of The Independent also did not have the independence of mind to not realise that dating a man, Oliver Haiste (sometimes spelt ‘Haste’), with links to the far-right Traditional Britain Group and who was exposed by the BBC for a hoax involving the Russian news corporation Pravda International is another.
Wine chucker Miss Johnson, a woman whose antics gyrating to Abba with her well-rewarded financially in office best mates Josh Grimstone and Henry Newman, has in recent weeks also been the centre of investigations into ‘Partygate’ and, of course, equally the £112,000 spent on ghastly decorations by Lulu Lytle and £28,000 of organic nosh from Lady Bamford’s Daylesford illustrate her Barbara Amiel-like ways. “Extravagance knows no bounds” for either of those women, but despite being clad in £2,900 a pop gowns by Christos Costarello, Mrs Johnson’s impact thus far has only to make Downing Street develop the stench of sordidness and the stink of a slurry pit.
Yesterday, The Guardian’s Rowena Mason and Heather Stewart asked: “Carrie Johnson: puppet master of Downing Street – or easy target?” in a column. They observed:
“Former Downing Street insiders report feeling Carrie could make her husband change his mind, sometimes overnight, on an issue they thought was already agreed.
“The prime minister would also tell aides that if he didn’t take a particular course of action, it would anger his wife.”
“They also reported Johnson himself receiving scores of messages from her during the working day – and Carrie Johnson repeatedly calling his staff, insisting the prime minister be hauled out of meetings to talk to her.”
Now, tellingly of the power play at the heart of their marriage just as five aides have already fled for the hills, in First Lady: Intrigue at the Court of Carrie and Boris Johnson, Lord Ashcroft quotes the Prime Minister as telling aides: “Don’t do anything that’s going to make [Carrie] torture me when I get home. You’ve just got to help me. My life at home’s miserable. You’ve got to find a way to make this bearable for me.”
Of his book this morning, Lord Ashcroft explained: “As the first prime ministerial consort with a political career of her own, I believe she easily warrants a biography.”
“Indeed, as the Conservative Party’s communications director and special adviser to two government ministers, she was an influential figure long before she moved into No. 10 Downing Street in July 2019.”
“Of course, when I set out to learn more about her, I could have had no idea that six months later she would find herself accused by an increasing number of people of being involved in a series of scandals which threaten to derail her husband’s premiership.”
“I had no agenda other than to write accurately about what I found – but what I found surprised me.”
“Her evident ambition soon came to the fore… She also emerged as a rather divisive figure. Some colleagues felt that she considered herself above them – there is a story that she claimed she had fractured her leg as a ruse to wangle a better hotel during a party conference – and her vivacity was felt to be at odds with the more routine duties of the press office. Perhaps her undoubted ability to charm journalists and MPs inspired envy.”
“The accounts I have heard of the way she interfered in Johnson’s leadership campaign in 2019 are staggering, as are the effect of her strong opinions on staffing matters once the couple had reached Downing Street.”
“Many of the sources who contributed to my biography had kept their stories about Carrie private until now. Some even said they were motivated to talk because it was in the public interest to do so.”
“The buck stops with him – but the evidence I have gathered suggests his wife’s behaviour is preventing him from leading Britain as effectively as the voters deserve.”
“Friends of Johnson and his former wife, Marina Wheeler QC, say they cannot imagine so many scandals existing if she were with him now. ‘Marina was a very important influence on Boris,’ one said. Her actions have adversely affected other women’s careers.”
“He has gone from being with a maternal figure who managed him rather like a chief executive to an arrangement where Carrie ‘who is demanding rather than supplying’. This person goes on: ‘I think it’s the biggest explanation of the dysfunctionality inside Number 10.’”
“Readers of my book can judge for themselves what Carrie’s actions say about her relationship with the PM and what they mean for the way Britain has been run under his premiership.”
“One of his closest Cabinet allies has told sources quoted in my book that they believe Carrie is ‘the No 1 problem’ in Johnson’s administration.”
“Many will wonder if it would be better for the country if the minister in question had the courage to tell the PM this to his face. As for Carrie Johnson, if she wants to help decide what the Government does and who works in it, maybe she should think about standing for election.”
Carrie Johnson has rightly been called out over not only her extravagance with spending, but also her power crazed antics. Given she holds no official Office of State, her meddling and anything but benign influence is most definitely rightly condemned as “inappropriate.”Prior to marrying the Prime Minister, the then Carrie Symonds certainly indulged in activities that were far from dignified. Childish and of poor judgment Mrs Johnson’s love of fancy dress, partying and hobnobbing with individuals prone to questionable involvements in the far right right and Russian scandals such as Oliver Haiste (AKA Oliver Haste) do not help those who call her out.The Right Honourable The Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC has well and truly stuck the boot into “puppet mistress” Carrie Johnson and her husband’s regime. In ‘First Lady: Intrigue at the Court of Carrie and Boris Johnson,’ the peer and ex-member of the House of Lords portrays the premier as a “lonely figure surrounded by her close friends who are now among his most influential aides.” He “advances the theory that faultlines in her relationship with the Prime Minister have had an impact on No. 10.”That Mrs Johnson has been able to get the very chums she dances to Abba with – Josh Grimstone (left) and Henry Newman (right) – into high office because of their links to the ‘Court of Carrie’ stinks of nepotism.
‘Psittacism’ is a word that perfectly sums up Boris Johnson’s government spineless repetitions telling the public to wait for the conclusions of the Met Police’s investigation into ‘Partygate’
Summing up the activity of the likes of the ostrich anus eater Nadine Dorries MP – who quite frankly looked a little beyond pissed-up and “like something from a Catherine Tate sketch” as she rocked around whilst spouting a predictably crass response to the matter to Channel 4’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy – favourite of all at The Steeple Times, Countdown ‘Dictionary Corner’ stalwart Susie Dent tweeted on Tuesday:
“Word of the day is psittacism (19th century): the meaningless or mechanical repetition of words. From the Latin psittacus, parrot.”
As she did last November in sharing the 16th century word malversation – “the corrupt administration of power” – in the context of ‘Owen Paterson-gate,’ Dent consistently improves our etymology with these tweets and in educating us all also gives a much deserved daily kick to the frankly most corrupt government in living history.
Today, we salute a lady who is frankly doing the job that Sir Keir Starmer seems to fail at consistently and again today, we join those calling for the resignation of not only the incompetent disgrace that is Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM but also the buffoon Prime Minister that clearly thinks it clever to reference his corruption as “total rhubarb.” Let’s instead put this pair of nitwits up against Susie Dent and let’s see how long they last in ‘Dictionary Corner.’
Susie Dent’s tweet on Tuesday was liked by over 20,700 accounts and retweeted 3,049 times. “I’ve said sorry already” is simply not going to wash with the British public from a Prime Minister who has had to – but not actually meant – “being genuinely sorry” on hundreds of occasions throughout his careers as both a journalist and politicians. Frankly, the word of his old mucker, the insurance fraudster Darius Guppy, would be taken as more trustworthy by anyone with half a brain.“Am I bothered? Are you disrespecting me?” – ‘Nasty Nad’ (AKA The Right Honourable Nadine Dorries MP, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport), by contrast, is someone with utterly no grasp of the English language and how to use it. This national disgrace truly is an embarrassment to our nation and makes even Catherine Tate’s character Lauren look positively intelligent.

Nadine Dorries has understandably been labelled the ‘Fool of the Week’ for her behaviour on Monday evening after the Prime Minister’s appalling performance in the House of Commons earlier that day. Here is a woman who previously claimed David Cameron and George Osborne “didn’t know the price of milk,” who also cannot see that it is now her that is totally out of touch with the national mood.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG7r1uLwLw8
Boris Johnson thinks himself clever when it comes to his use of the English language. Like his equally arrogant and totally vapid sister, Rachel – a woman who showed her true colours last November in announcing that: “It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell” in ‘The Spectator’ in November and added of the since convicted sex offender: “I intersected briefly with her at Oxford. As a fresher I wandered into Balliol JCR one day in search of its subsidised breakfast granola-and-Nescafé offering and found a shiny glamazon with naughty eyes holding court astride a table, a high-heeled boot resting on my brother Boris’s thigh” – this Prime Minister attempts to bamboozle the public with such nonsense as “total rhubarb” as he believes himself to be intellectually superior to them.
Is overindulged prig Carrie Johnson about to be thrown under the bus along with her Abba loving groupies Henry Newman and Josh Grimstone? Is this the end of the road for ‘Carrie On Regardless’?
It seems Carrie Johnson could be about to receive a dose of her own medicine and possibly a summons to speak to the Metropolitan Police even also.
“What Carrie wants, Carrie gets” is supposedly a mantra that the Prime Minister’s wife and those around her operate by and until now, the former Miss Symonds has got everything she desires. Be it £30,000 of organic nosh from Lady Bamford’s Daylesford Organic, £840 a roll wallpaper grubbily grabbed from Lulu Lytle’s frankly ghastly emporium and £2,900 a pop gowns by fashion designer Christos Costarello, here is an overindulged modern day Marie Antoinette whose extravagance knows no bounds.
Prone prior to moving to Downing Street to chucking red wine over sofas and dancing to Abba with her ‘Chatty Rat’ clatterfart chum Henry Newman – whom she has described as “one of my four favourite people” – the current Mrs Johnson was this morning dragged deeper into the mire that is ‘Partygate,’ the Mail on Sunday reported.
According to an unnamed source who spoke to the paper’s Glen Owen and Dan Hodges, on the night of Dominic Cummings’ departure on 13th November 2020: “There was the sound of lots of banging and dancing and drinking, and a number of Abba tracks – including a triumphalist Winner Takes It All.”
Going further, the Mail on Sunday added: “The Metropolitan Police could now investigate the party as part of its probe, and call on Mrs Johnson to provide written evidence.”
“Civil servants in the building at the time were advised by officials to go to the Downing Street flat to apologise for not sufficiently supporting the Prime Minister’s then-fiancée. ‘They were ordered to go up and kiss the ring,’ one said.”
Pictured top – Obsessed with nobody but himself Boris Johnson and his overindulged current wife, Carrie, deserve to be derided. Whilst ordinary people were unable to see their relatives even due to the lockdowns his government forced upon them, these two cretins partied on regardless.
The former Carrie Symonds previously worked for Oceana, a charity with strong links to the now convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, in the past and has links to individuals connected to the far-right Traditional Britain Group. Her shockingly poor judgment is clearly worthy of question.The Prime Minister’s wife counts alleged ‘Chatty Rat’ and Abba fanatic Henry Newman as her “best friend,” according to Dominic Cummings. When the possibility of having to fire him over leaks arose, Boris Johnson reportedly said: “If Newman is confirmed as the leaker then I will have to fire him, and this will cause me very serious problems with Carrie as they’re best friends… [pause] perhaps we could get the Cabinet Secretary to stop the leak inquiry?”‘Princess Nut Nut’ – as she has also been deservedly branded – invited only a few guests to her wedding to Boris Johnson. Amongst them was “Tory hunk” Josh Grimstone. The ‘Court of Carrie’ is all about control and this 28-year-old “top-notch aide” was rewarded rather nicely in spite of being someone known best for just taking his top off. Grimstone is on a pay packet of between £80,000 and £84,999, according to Cabinet Office records.Boris Johnson protests too much about whether he partied or not. That he has now tried to have Dame Cressida Dick and the Metropolitan Police try and slow down the process of the investigation into ‘Partygate’ speaks volumes about his clear lack of a moral compass. That his current wife is now being dragged into this is evidence that he’d literally throw anyone under the bus to save his own sorry skin.
Led By Donkeys does it again with a “Who Exactly Does The Metropolitan Police Work For, Ma’am?” video meme that suggests Dame Cressida Dick works for Downing Street rather than British citizens
Metropolitan Police commissioner Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM doesn’t like the BBC’s Line of Duty drama series. She was, in fact, “absolutely outraged by it, but now the brilliant chaps behind the guerilla operation that is Led By Donkeys have used it to give her another bite in the bum.
Published as a video meme on Twitter yesterday, a 26-second mockup of Dame Cressida being questioned by the actor Adrian Dunbar – who stars as Superintendent Ted Hastings in Line of Duty.
The clip, which has been retweeted 17,500 times already and liked by nearly 53,000 Twitter accounts, begins with Dame Cressida stating: “We have a long established and effective working relationship with, er, the Cabinet Office.”
Superintendent Hastings then replies: “Who Exactly Does The Metropolitan Police Work For, Ma’am? Our citizens or Boris Johnson?”
Dame Cressida, head bowed shamefully, then answers: “Downing Street” before scowling whilst scratching her chin.
Again today, we join the majority in calling for Dame Cressida to finally do the decent thing: It is time for this incompetent woman to accept that the rotten force she presides over needs, as Dame Doreen Lawrence has repeatedly called for since 1993, wholesale reform. That reform must begin with a new commissioner at the helm and with Dame Cressida Dick pensioned off to somewhere far from public office.
Twitter users universally condemned the nation’s premier police force as incompetent and rightly pointed out that there is “zero public confidence in it.”Ostrich anus eating ‘Nasty Nad’ (AKA Nadine Dorries), House of Commons sleeper Jacob Rees-Mogg and £800-a-roll wallpaper loving ‘Carrie On Regardless’ (AKA cake offerer Carrie Johnson) may think father of an unknown number of sprogs ‘Boris The Buffoon’ (AKA Boris Johnson) is doing the right thing in trying to coverup ‘Partygate’ with the help of the rotten-to-its-core Metropolitan Police and incompetent Dame Cressida Dick, a school and university chum of sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. They are on the wrong side of history and it is jolly well time the public get to see an unredacted copy of Sue Gray’s report into what knees-ups went on in Downing Street whilst grieving families weren’t even allowed to attend the funerals of their relatives.
The Met’s Catalogue of Failures
There is now zero public confidence in the frankly incompetent Metropolitan Police and one Twitter user, June Sim, rightly stated of it yesterday: “The Met has always been a byword amongst regional forces. We used to joke if you were rejected, they’ll take anybody. Not helped by the reputation confirmed by the Daniel Morgan report. Reputation already tarnished.”
Amongst the many failings of what ought to be the nation’s premier police force – aside from multiple allegations of racism and racial bias against its officers, its failure to deal with spiraling teenage murders and the many allegations of corruption and incompetence levelled at it – are:
1987 – Botched investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan.
1993 – Botched investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
1994 – Botched investigation into allegations that Ghislaine Maxwell operated a brothel in South Kensington.
2009 – Unlawful killing of Ian Tomlinson during his arrest by Met Police officers.
2005 – Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes by Met Police officers on the orders of Cressida Dick.
2013 – Strip searching of Dr Koshka Duff during her arrest for intervening during a Met Police stop-and-search of a black teenager.
2014 – Bungled investigation into allegations of historic child abuse made by Carl Beech.
2014 to 2015 – Failure to stop Stephen Port committing subsequent serial killings in spite of his already being linked to the death of a man outside his home.
2019 – Farcical mismanagement of policing of Extinction Rebellion protests leading to a bill of £37 million in policing costs.
2020 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.
2020 – Found to be 2.17 times as likely to issue fines to black people relative to the rest of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
2021 – Misconduct of Met Police officers during their investigation into the disappearance of Richard Okorogheye.
2021 – Met Police officer Ben Hannam found to be a member of a banned terrorist group.
2021 – Shocking conduct of Met Police officers after the murder of Sarah Everard by one of their own colleagues.
2022 – Apparent collaboration with Boris Johnson and his government to delay report into ‘Partygate.’
Dame Cressida (pictured with Priti Patel and Boris Johnson) has previously come under fire over crises under her watch that have numbered the disgraceful shooting and killing of an innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes. She has also been slammed over the Met’s use of stop and search tactics, the handlings of recommendations made after the botched Operation Midland, the arrests of attendees at a candlelight vigil for murdered-by-a-serving-Met-officer Sarah Eveard and complaints by the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel that she obstructed their inquiry into police corruption.
The BBC’s ‘Four Lives’ – a drama based on the serial killer Stephen Port – provides further illustration of the incompetence of the Metropolitan Police; it is time for wholesale reform and for cat-like Dame Cressida Dick’s nine lives to end
We’ve repeatedly suggested we truly don’t believe Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM could organise a piss-up in a brewery; now, with the airing of the three-part Four Lives on BBC One, comes further proof that this incompetent woman and those that work under her couldn’t even find a serial killer in a graveyard and whose failings resulted in three killings entirely avoidable.
Featuring the story of Stephen Port and four men he sadistically drugged, raped and murdered in Barking, London in 2014 and 2015 – Anthony Walgate, 23; Gabriel Kovari, 22; Daniel Whitworth, 21 and Jack Taylor, 25 – Four Lives, as The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan points out, does “make the victims live again.” It is a story that doesn’t just focus on the sickness of the slayer, but also one that celebrates the spirit and souls of the slayed and equally, it rightly illustrates the disgraceful ineptness and cackhandedness of the Met Police.
Described in March 2017 as a “catalogue of police failings,” the Met’s decision to ignore credible witnesses prepared to state what they knew about Port and their refusal to admit to the family members of the victims that the deaths of their loved ones were anything other than “sordid misadventures gone wrong” – in spite of clear evidence to the contrary – again illustrates a police force riddled with rot.
Officers mixed up clearly different individuals featured in CCTV imagery walking and not walking with Port and did not even listen to the woman who found the bodies of two of the victims on two separate occasions in the same location in the very same churchyard. Of this, she later remarked: “They had no idea what they were doing.” Instead, they basically just wanted this whole “episode” swept under the carpet and without the tenacity of one victim’s mother, they’d have gotten away with just that.
The Metropolitan Police emerge from this story with yet more stains of incompetence and guilt and yet again today we call for its head’s head to roll. It is impossible to bring back the four lives lost to Stephen Port, but it is possible for cat-like Dame Cressida Dick’s nine lives to finally end. She ought to do the decent thing as we begin 2022: Resign with her head held in shame.
Pictured top – Rapist and serial killer Stephen Port (often monikered as ‘The Grindr Killer’ and pictured far left and left with Stephen Merchant playing him) was given a life sentence with a whole life order on the 25th November 2016, meaning he we never be released; last night’s ‘Four Lives’ showed the force that Dame Cressida Dick (right) currently heads, yet again, to be inept and uncaring towards the families of victims. She, as head honcho, needs to take responsibility and after her having been seen to preside over countless other similarly grossly handled episodes, it is time for her do one thing: Just go.
Dame Cressida (pictured with Priti Patel and Boris Johnson) has previously come under fire over crises under her watch that have numbered the disgraceful shooting and killing of an innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes. She has also been slammed over the Met’s use of stop and search tactics, the handlings of recommendations made after the botched Operation Midland, the arrests of attendees at a candlelight vigil for murdered-by-a-serving-Met-officer Sarah Eveard and complaints by the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel that she obstructed their inquiry into police corruption.Dame Cressida Dick has been the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis since 2017. She first joined the Metropolitan Police as a constable in 1983 and returned to the force in 2001 as first a commander before rising to the top of the tree. She is now under fire after ‘The Steeple Times’ revealed that a 1994 investigation into an alleged brothel being operated at the then home of the now convicted sex abuser Ghislaine Maxwell – a woman Dame Cressida went to both school and university with – in South Kensington, London was swept under the carpet and has never been reinvestigated. We again ask: “Why?”
As ‘The Sun’ hints that she was a madam in London in the 2000s, we ask why wasn’t the 1994 Met Police investigation into what went on with high-class hookers at Ghislaine Maxwell’s South Kensington Mews house not taken further?
Now deservedly under fire and slammed as “incompetent and obstructive,” Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM became a police constable with the Metropolitan Police in 1983 and “within 10 years was promoted to chief inspector,” according to The Guardian.
Dame Cressida’s life prior to joining the rozzers was gilded. Oxford born and educated in the “leafy” environs of “the successful academic battery farm” Oxford High School and an alumna there of Ghislaine Maxwell, according to The Times, “Britain’s (current) top police officer” went on to the Dragon School whilst the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ decidedly deviant daughter progressed through various educational establishments.
Curiously, both women also later came to share having studied at Balliol College, Oxford in the early 1980s. Though it remains unknown if their paths crossed on any other level subsequently, we again today remind readers that in 1994, Ghislaine Maxwell’s home between 1989 and 1997, 69 Stanhope Mews East, South Kensington, London, SW7, was placed under surveillance by the Metropolitan Police on the suspicion that someone was running a high-class brothel from that very address.
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 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.
“I was visited by officers from the Met Police in 1994 whom asked to use a bedroom in my property and to install a camera at the window to monitor the house diagonally opposite, 69 Stanhope Mews East.”
“I was not told at the time who the person concerned was, but I now realise it was Ghislaine Maxwell who was the owner of that house. I recall seeing very young girls coming and going from that building very often.”
“The officers remained for a week and then I heard no more about what happened next. All I knew was that a brothel was being operated from there and that the police wanted to close it down. They could have caught this evil woman then, but maybe her friendships with powerful people like Prince Andrew helped ensure her criminality was swept under the carpet.”
In this photograph, taken on 22nd November 2000 at the Red Cube nightclub in London, Ghislaine Maxwell sips on a cocktail as she stares at three women she was allegedly controlling.
Now, with The Sun yesterday running the headline: “SHOCKING: Ghislaine Maxwell took three girls to target wealthy men at party attended by Prince Charles” in 2000 with a photo to accompany as evidence, it seems pertinent to again enquire as to result of the 1994 investigation as the paper effectively hints that since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time lover was not just a procurer for him alone.
In a report by journalist Michael Hamilton, an unnamed broker who attended the after-party at the Red Cube nightclub for a screening of Charlie’s Angels in the presence of the heir to the throne encountered Maxwell there with a bevy of blondes.
Of the incident, The Sun stated:
“The unnamed broker said he is ‘appalled’ at the thought of Maxwell rubbing shoulders with guests.”
“He added: ‘The three girls came up to me and a friend and were being very flirtatious. They were in their late teens or early 20s.”
“One, who is on my right in the picture, seemed to be the leader and was asking us if we wanted to buy them drinks or go on somewhere. The girl on my left was quieter and more nervous. And the girl at the back was East European and also quiet. It seemed their questions were all to ascertain our wealth.”
“None of us were interested and – after a few minutes when that became clear – they were ushered away by Maxwell.”
“Our source, who found the snap while clearing possessions, added: ‘Maxwell, seemed to be shooting daggers at the girls – annoyed that they were spending too long with us and moved them along. We saw Maxwell walk with them into the crowd. She seemed to be in charge.’”
“‘My friend and I talked about whether they might be escorts. It is shocking when I think back to that night, considering what I’ve read about Maxwell and Epstein. Obviously, she hasn’t been found guilty in her trial, but some of the claims are horrible and shocking.’”
Clearly given her already known longstanding connections to Prince Andrew, Miss Maxwell would most definitely have been on the radar of both the police and secret services in Britain from the 1980s onwards. We thus ask again: Why was nothing done about what was clearly going on at 69 Stanhope Mews East in 1994 especially given since that Maxwell allegedly “cared and befriended Minor Victim 3 in London, England, between about 1994 and 1995?”
In 1995, according to Wikipedia, Dame Cressida was transferred to Thames Valley Police, where she eventually became the chief superintendent and area commander for Oxford before returning to the MPS in 2001 as a commander.
Pictured top – Currently incarcerated alleged mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell and currently deservedly under fire Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM were educated at Oxford High School at the same time. They both subsequently attended Balliol College, Oxford in the early 1980s.
