Why has not one single co-conspirator of Ghislaine Maxwell been arrested in the 82 days since her conviction? It is time for the other powerful and privileged participants in this rotten saga to answer for their crimes in the 99 days before the mucky madam is sent down
It’s been 82 days since grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on 29th December 2021. In the time since, amongst other things we’ve had the suicide in France of her chum Jean-Luc Brunel, the ‘Jurorgate’ saga of the man who goes by the name of Scotty David and Prince Andrew’s supposed £12 million payout to the woman he claims he hadn’t met, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. What we haven’t seen, however, is the arrest of a single co-conspirator on American or British soil.
Highlighted quite rightly by Ms Giuffre herself in a tweet on 29th December last – which read: “I hope that today is not the end but rather another step in justice being served. Maxwell did not act alone. Others must be held accountable. I have faith that they will be” – this important matter is one that must be resolved given without such, it will once again seem that there’s one rule for the powerful and the privileged and another for the ordinary populous.
Whilst the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter – who once most aptly described his favourite child as being “just like me” – still has time to sing like a canary and cough up names prior to her sentencing in 99 days on 28th June 2022, it thus far seems that she’s decided to take a gamble and keep schtum. Clearly arrogant to their core, Maxell’s siblings continue to make out this wicked wench as a patsy, but if she is that, then now is the time to talk.
With her husband Scott Borgerson having not even having bothered to turn up for her trial and now run off with a sexually saucy “yoga enthusiast” with an “ass that could crack open a walnut” and most of her friends turned on her, some might echo Rachel Johnson’s “batsqueak of pity” for a mendacious mucky madam alone, betrayed, cuckolded and isolated, but frankly this current course of action simply shows her yet again as nothing but a self-serving sap.
Tellingly, as he faces his own woes in the American court system, Donald Trump – who previously stated that “I wish her well” of Maxwell and suggested her former lover Epstein was “killed or committed suicide in jail” – is keeping remarkably quiet, whilst the paranoia of Maxwell about being “suicided” was again highlighted in recent days in interviews by her former dog walker and houseboy, a 31-year-old named Rasmus Alpsjö.
Rasmus Alpsjö with one of the mucky madam’s dogs, a Vizsla named Captain Nimo, in 2015.Cowardy custard who didn’t understand the concept of “for better, for worse” when he married for a second time Scott Borgerson has been described by Alpsjö as “intimidating” and once told his employee that he’d teach him “how an alpha male treats a dog.”As ‘The Steeple Times’ exclusively reported in December 2020, the then home of Jeffrey Epstein’s mucky madam lover in South Kensington, London was put under surveillance by the Metropolitan Police in 1994. Of this a businesswoman who lived opposite told us: “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 spite of the pension pot plunderer’s daughters high ranking connections – including the fact that she went to the same school and Oxford college as the until recent Metropolitan Police chief Dame Cressida Dick – why was this investigation shut down?
Speaking in video footage shared on YouTube, Alpsjö claimed that his employer for three months in 2015 had gone ballistic after he’d let a deliveryman into her then home on the Upper East Side in New York.
Last night, the Daily Mail reported that the Swede – whom also very tellingly described Borgerson as “scary” and “militant” – commented:
“She had some friends over and the doorbell rang. She asked if I could take it. There was a delivery guy and he asked if he was at the right address.”
“I thought it was and I invited him in. Ghislaine came and asked ‘What is this?”
“Maxwell went on to ask for the deliveryman’s ID card and even took a copy of it before dismissing him out of her home.”
“She sent him away and then actually screamed at me: ‘It could have been anyone, somebody could have been out to kill me.’”
“‘It made me feel so bad,’ the former employee said. ‘I didn’t think it was such a big deal, but she made a huge deal out of it.’”
“She said: ‘I might have to send you home. I have to think about it,’ he added.”
“On the day after the incident, Maxwell reportedly told Alpsjo that what he did was ‘really stupid, but I thought about it and you can stay. But you have to learn that you cannot open to anyone.’”
“Now, looking back at the moment, Alpsjo says that Maxwell’s reaction was ‘crazy’ and that the entire situation was ‘just insane.’”
Likely abused-turned-abuser Maxwell’s siblings have repeatedly suggested they fear that she could be next to die in jail. She, herself, is of the firm belief that her pension pot plundering father was himself killed on the gin palace named after her on the fateful night of 5th November 1991.
Like father, like daughter – These two peas in a pod were clearly connected by more than just blood. Both deviant and dodgy, both were crackpot conspiracy theorists.
As P&O is rightly slammed for its reprehensible Zoom sacking, ‘The Steeple Times’ interviews a sacked employee and joins those shouting “shame on you” at pain-in-the arse Natalie Elphicke MP
After disgracefully sacking 800 workers by Zoom this week and giving them just two hours notice to leave the vessels on which they had diligently toiled, the DP World owned shipping and logistics company P&O were quite rightly slammed as “modern day slavers” and “reprehensible disgraces.”
A now former employee of this now deservedly hated firm – which has decided to replace their hardworking and loyal staff with far cheaper agency workers and which also took claimed £10 million in furlough cash during the coronavirus lockdowns – told The Steeple Times on Thursday of her shock at the way in which she and her colleagues had been treated.
Now redundant Kent based Karen Bridle remarked:
“We were short-crewed for the last week, but expected to work normal service. We could not cope and something seemed odd.”
“They could have told us yesterday so we could have collected our belongings, but the bosses cowardly waited until the old watch got off and a new watch got on. They ran the crew into the ground and I ask: ‘Why didn’t they tell us?’ Nobody knew, there were no rumours even.”
“We were told to login to Google Teams at 10.43am and I thought: ‘How can you treat people like this?’ The waffle of the head of internal relations and employee relations at the ferry operating company was shocking; what an awful man.”
“I’m shell-shocked and blindsided, but it’s P&O over and over again – disloyal to their crew.”
With commentators asking if the sackings are legal even given the lack of the standard consultation period of 45 days for redundancies of more than 100 employees and questioning whether the firm followed the “basic fundamentals of employee relations,” this matter is far from over and legal challenges will now likely quite rightly follow.
Elsewhere yesterday, the replacement MP for Dover for her convicted sex offender ex-MP husband Natalie Elphicke turned up at a protest in support of the mistreated now ex-employees. The Conservative harridan – known for her nastiness and negativity towards immigrants and bombastically blithering love of Brexit – expected to get involved and be welcomed. Instead, the crowd unsurprisingly turned on her and after she ended up having a pop at them, she did a cowardly about turn and departed looking like a total plonker.
Today, The Steeple Times makes an alternative suggestion about redundancies at the firm and that is that the only two employees of P&O that actually need to go are the Zoom disaster area that spoke on Wednesday and the CEO Peter Hebblethwaite. Instead, now, it is time for this Dubai owned operation to reinstate all of its wronged workers if they wish to avoid further humiliation.
Pictured top – A now not-going-anywhere for the moment P&O vessel and wife of disgraced ex-MP, ‘Naughty Tory’ and convicted sex offender Natalie Elphicke MP being heckled at a protest in support of P&O workers. “Shame on you” was meant to be chanted about P&O, but with this nasty piece of work’s arrival, they turned those very words on this reprehensible piece of toerag.
Natalie Elphicke MP – a stunningly stupid woman who once ludicrously suggested “border issues at Dover were not a problem created by Brexit, but were Brussels’ fault” – attempted to get herself a bit of positive publicity by joining a protest against P&O’s decision to rid itself of its staff. Her not so cunning stunt utterly and truly backfired when those present turned on the Tory twerp given she’d previously voted in support of fire and rehire policies.Their arrogance knows no bounds – The DP World owned shipping company’s head of internal relations and employee relations (left) and CEO Peter Hebblethwaite.

You can always rely on a paper that employs Richard Madeley to totally misunderstand the mood of the nation.
Matthew Steeples revisits the Prime Minister’s wife Carrie Johnson’s curious links to Russians, sexual exposes and hoaxers and suggests she’s definitely also living in a ‘Carrie On Up (The) Ukraine’ style
Ukrainians do not like their sovereign country being called “the Ukraine” and quite rightly point out that those that do such denigrate them to being considered “the borderland” of Russia. Referencing “the Ukraine” is neither grammatically or politically correct, but one person who is living a Carrie On Up (The) Ukraine lifestyle is most definitely Carrie Johnson.
Rather like the especially unappealing Lady Joan Ruff-Diamond – played by the self-professed “queen of puddings” Joan Sims (1930 – 2001) – in the risqué comedy Carry On Up the Khyber, the former Miss Symonds (AKA ‘Carrie On Regardless,’ ‘Princess Nut Nut’ and ‘Anne Boleyn’) turned Britain’s “feckless first lady” is also known for chucking wine and other household items at her husband.
Equally, Mrs Johnson can most definitely be said to be living a life that is definitely a play on the words of the 1968 film’s title – “Khyber” being short for “Khyber Pass” and that being rhyming slang for “arse” – in that she has recently been made a complete arse of both online and by Lord Ashcroft also.
In First Lady: Intrigue at the Court of Carrie and Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister’s wife is portrayed as a political operator known for “her evident ambition” and for being “a rather divisive figure.” She is exposed for making her husband “miserable” and noted for showing her “anger” towards him; Lord Ashcroft goes as far even to note: “Carrie is ‘the No 1 problem’ in Johnson’s administration… Her actions have adversely affected other women’s careers.”
As the people of Ukraine bravely try to save themselves and their homeland, it must also be remembered that the man in charge in Britain is also the head of a party that has not only taken copious amounts of money from Russian oligarchs, but he is one also whose wife has had close links with Russian organisations too.
Prior to her marriage, the then Carrie Symonds – who has also been employed by Oceana, a charity heavily supported by the now convicted mucky madam sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell – dated a man named Oliver Haiste (sometimes spelt ‘Haste’) between 2007 and 2010.
In October 2016, Haiste and his close chum, Henry Hopwood-Phillips – an individual once not so charmingly accused of flashing his “tumescent member” and an individual with strong links to the far-right, racist Traditional Britain Group (TBG) – were exposed by BBC Monitoring’s Stephen Ennis for an £8.3 million “hoax” involving the Russian news corporation Pravda International.
Subsequently, in June 2019, Haiste returned to the media to blab to The Mail on Sunday about his “tumultuous” and “highly charged” ex-lover and remarked: “I found when times were good with Carrie, they were great – they were fantastic. When were bad, they were awful,” but what is really relevant is that the Prime Minister’s wife attended the launch of the Conservative Friends of Russia at the Embassy of Russia in Kensington, London in August 2012.
Curiously, amongst others present at that particular shindig were the current Mrs Johnson’s dominatrix loving subsequent boss from May 2015, John Whittingdale MP, as well as Matthew Elliott FRSA, later chief executive officer of Vote Leave. How much vodka was downed that night remains unknown, but what is clear is that the Conservative Friends of Russia subsequently issued a press release attacking the Labour MP Chris Bryant and showing him in his Y-fronts in a photo taken from the gay ‘dating’ site Grindr.
The Conservative Friends of Russia later rebranded itself as the Westminster Russia Forum and has also counted amongst its supporters former Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans MP and former Defence and Foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind. Yet again, illustration is provided as to ‘Carrie’s Curious Connections.’
Pictured top – Carrie Johnson in her younger days carrying on and boozing for Britain (left); Sid James and Joan Sims in ‘Carry On Up the Khyber’ (right).
In the 1968 film, the wife of the protagonist Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, Queen Victoria’s Governor in India, is known for abusively chucking things at her husband. The current British Prime Minister’s wife has been known for having visitations from the police after performing such antics.Equally, rather like the characters in the film, Boris Johnson’s latest baby mama has been known for debauchery in her past.The Prime Minister’s wife with his lover between 2007 and 2010, Oliver Haiste. Of how they got on before their “not particular amicable” ending, the alleged Pravda hoaxer commented: “It was a highly passionate relationship. And I don’t mean that in a salacious, physical sense. I mean in terms of emotional context – very emotionally charged. It’s the most up and down relationship I have had. Any relationship with Carrie or friendship with Carrie is very intense and can often burn brightly. It’s never boring. She often brings a lot of intensity to relationships, be they romantic or friendships. That passion can work the other way when she is not happy with you.”The vile and utterly reprehensible bigoted Traditional Britain Group (TBG), of which Haiste’s friend Henry Hopwood-Phillips was at one time a leading light, is known for its bigoted views. Aside from its convicted thief from the NHS chairman Gregory Lauder-Frost having had a pop at feminism on one occasion, this rotten to its core far-right organisation has expressed views about deporting all immigrants going back many generations and hanging Baroness Doreen Lawrence from a tree even also.Both the Prime Minister’s spouse and the now convicted criminal sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell were heavily involved in the charity Oceana. The latter, a licensed submarine pilot, stands accused of using her abilities in that arena to sex traffic young girls for her lover Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful politician and businessmen mates to abuse with her on his Caribbean islands, Little St James and Great St James.The Prime Minister’s wife became involved in Oceana in 2018. Leading supporter of the charity and fundraiser for it also Ghislaine Maxwell, meanwhile, was not arrested until 2nd July 2020 so though it is unknown if they did, it is quite possible that their paths could have crossed during those two years.
As President Putin invades Ukraine, we highlight some of the worst apologists for Russia in Britain and what they’ve had to say about this tyrant and his rotten regime – amongst them Arron Banks, Bernie Ecclestone and Nigel Farage
“With friends like these, who needs enemies?” comes to mind of three British born buffoons right now. Those buffoons? Disruptive businessman Arron Banks, former head honcho of Formula One Bernie Ecclestone and ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
As the Russian tanks role into Ukraine and countless thousands are killed and injured by the tyrannical aggressor Vladimir Putin, it must be remembered that there are some in the United Kingdom who actually are fans of the current regime’s monster-in-chief.
Mildest of the three in his offerings past on Putin’s Russia is surprisingly Banks – who happens to be married to a Russian – who blames the West for having “humiliated” a country that covers 11% of the landmass of the world, but for Ecclestone and Farage, “the 21st century Hitler” is something of a hero.
In July 2019, Ecclestone remarked: ““If someone had a machine gun and was prepared to shoot Putin, I would stand in front of him because he’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people” and going further added:
“Honestly, I think the guy who be running Europe, impressed me more than anything, is Mr Putin because he’s a guy that says he’s going to do something and does it… [He’s] a first-class person.”
“He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do… He wants to put Russia back to what it was.”
In March 2014, the fruitcake that is Nigel Farage – who in the last 24 hours ludicrously claimed the invasion of Ukraine has been entirely caused by the EU and NATO trying to “poke the Russian bear with a stick” and suggested: “If Vladimir Putin’s one demand is that we state clearly that Ukraine is not going to join Nato, why don’t we do it?” – said of Putin: “As an operator [I admire him]. The whole way he played Syria. Brilliant.”
Bernie Ecclestone has met the Russian leader on numerous occasions and the two clearly are birds of a rotten feather.Aside from expressing admiration for Putin, Nigel Farage is rather a fan of another nutjob politician, Donald Trump.Arron Banks clearly is more concerned about himself than the situation in Ukraine. The crackpot crazy businessman clearly thinks the war is a bit of a laughing matter also.
ARRON BANKS’S WORST MOMENTS
Once quite rightly termed a “nobody” by William Hague, Arron Banks is currently in a legal suit with the courageous crusading columnist Carole Cadwalladr. He was expelled from two schools – once for stealing the lead off the roof – and is married to a Russian he met at a Britney Spears concert.
Of the war Russia is raging on Ukraine:
“Enjoy the war… Of course, it’s complex… Russia needs to cool its jets but people need to understand… The West humiliated Russia after the Cold War, ransacked its borders and behaved very badly. NATO and the EU on the Russian border was always going to provoke them.”
“The EU decided to play politics on Russia’s border, I don’t agree with the aggression but it’s a predictable reaction.”
On Sir Nicholas Soames, Sir Winston Churchill’s grandson:
“Tommy Two Belts Soames… Soames is a pompous old bore whose blind Europhilia would make Juncker blush. The only thing he and his fine ancestor have in common is their waistline.”
On President Donald Trump:
“[He] represents a new kind of politics and I think it’s coming [to Britain].”

“I am convinced the Queen secretly loves [Farage] and would welcome him as a knight of the realm.”

“Didn’t New Labour take a million pound bung from Bernie Ecclestone or promise British passports to a couple of Indian brothers?”
On Russian interference in the Brexit referendum:
“There was no Russian money and no interference of any type.”
On a meeting with a Russian ambassador with British-Belizean political activist Andy Wigmore:
“We’d been invited by a shady character called Oleg who we’d met in Doncaster at the UKIP conference… Our host wanted the inside track on the Brexit campaign… We shook hands and promised to meet again.”
Asked by the Electoral Commission about his involvement with Russians:
“My sole involvement with ‘the Russians’ was a boozy 6 hour lunch with the ambassador.”
On Cambridge Analytica:
“They devise psychological profiles of the electorate, using thousands of pieces of data to filter population into 150 personality types. With this information, you can tailor campaign material to particular groups… It may sound a bit creepy, but these days it’s how most political parties work.”
On the EU:
“A closed shop for bankrupt people.”
“[Membership] is like having a first-class ticket on the Titanic.”

On spending limits in British elections:
“We’re supposed to be Great Britain, not a banana republic!”
On the Electoral Commission:
“The Electoral Commission should wind their necks in.”
On what he wants next for Britain:
“Immigration cap of 50,000, with a £5,000 deposit. The economy would explode. Singapore on steroids.”

“I form my own opinions and ignore the crowd… I’m capable of independent thought… I’ve got my own opinion.”
On where he has been known to go late at night:
“I’m sorry to report that our last stop was a sleazy gay bar in Soho, the only place still open.”
BERNIE ECCLESTONE’S WORST MOMENTS
A poisonous penny-pinching dwarf and well-known as a “coffin dodger,” Bernie Ecclestone – a bestie of the man who paid £12 million to a woman he claims never to have met Prince Andrew – couldn’t give a damn about anything other than money. He’ll mouth off in support of anyone who might help him get just a little bit more.
On President Vladimir Putin:
“[He] should be running Europe… He should be in Brussels running Europe… We should get rid of Brussels and he should just be in charge.”
“Honestly, I think the guy who be running Europe, impressed me more than anything, is Mr Putin because he’s a guy that says he’s going to do something and does it… [He’s] a first-class person.”
“He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do… He wants to put Russia back to what it was.”
“I was with [Putin] after the [2014 Sochi Winter] Olympics on the top of the bloody mountain… We had a meeting, just the two of us, and we came out and we were walking along and people were coming up to him asking for an autograph… That’s what people think of him.”
“If someone had a machine gun and was prepared to shoot Putin, I would stand in front of him because he’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people.”
On President Putin’s intolerance to gay people in Russia:
“When I was at school, if you did something wrong, the teacher used to say: ‘Go and get the punishment book and the cane. Go to your headmistress and get a few whacks or something.’ That’s what he does.”
On President Donald Trump:
“I think he’d be fantastic [as President of the United States of America]. I’m sure he’s much more flexible than most of them. If he’s made a mistake, he’s more likely to say: ‘It was a good idea at the time.’”
“He has done a lot of good things for the world.”
On Adolf Hitler:
“Apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done… He wasn’t a dictator.”
On Jewish people:
“They have a lot of influence everywhere.”
On black people:
“In a lot of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are.”
Of democracy in the United Kingdom:
“If you have a look at a democracy it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries – including this one.”

On women participating in Formula 1:
“I don’t know whether a woman would physically be able to drive an F1 car quickly, and they wouldn’t be taken seriously.”

“I don’t find him particularly engaging… He’s not particularly you would say black.”
On the corrupt criminal and disgraced banker Gerhard Gribkowsky:
“Dear old Gribkowsky… I don’t blame him because I would have probably done the same if I could have done it. He found the weak spot, found some leverage and used it. You can’t blame somebody for doing that.”

“Maybe the most serious thing I regret was giving my shares to my ex [Slavica Radić], because when she them all in a trust for her and the kids, I lost control.”
NIGEL FARAGE’S WORST MOMENTS
Though he thinks himself a “man of the people,” this big-mouthed braggart is actually more of a “man of the elite.” Prone to hanging around in Belgravia and Knightsbridge with his old convict chum ‘Posh George’ Cottrell – jailed in America in 2016 for wire fraud – Nigel Farage is prone to pontificating on almost any subject and supposedly, according to one of his school teachers, “marched through a quiet Sussex very late night shouting Hitler Youth songs” as a child.
On President Putin being his political idol:
“As an operator, but not as a human being, I would say Putin. The way he played the whole Syria thing. Brilliant.”

“A scam… We may have made one of the biggest and most stupid collective mistakes in history by getting so worried about global warming.”

On the banking crisis:
“The banking collapse was [not caused] by greed.”
On women in the workplace and maternity leave:
“A woman… is worth far less to her employer… Working mothers are worth less than men.”
“Maybe it’s because I’ve got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view.”
On being chased out of a pub in Kent by protestors:
“I hope these ‘demonstrators’ are proud of themselves. My children were so scared by their behaviour that they ran away to hide. At the time of writing this a relative has gone to look for them, and they are not yet at home. These people are scum.”
After being in a plane crash:
“Looking at the picture of me in the wreckage, note that I’ve still got my top button done up and my tie on.”
On the extra £350 million per week for the NHS Vote Leave claim:
“A mistake.”
On whether Brexit could be a failure:
“I never promised it would be a huge success.”
On what he’d do if Brexit fails:
“If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad. I’ll go and live somewhere else.”
On himself:
“I’ve been called a great many things in my time.”
In giving “right snob” Lady Victoria Hervey airtime “deeply unpleasant” peddler of poison Dan Wootton brought new shame on GB News; elsewhere deranged “Devil’s Advocate” Alan Dershowitz’s rant about acknowledged victim of sex trafficking Virginia Giuffre just proves he’s onto yet another sticky wicket
That acceptance, however, was not enough for the noxious nitwit that is the daughter-of-a-thief Lady Victoria Hervey – a wastrel wack job previously shamed for running a nasty knicker flogging boutique in Knightsbridge that closed with debts of £350,000 and for stating “f*ck BLM” in spite of her ancestors having been abolitionists – and still now she’s peddling piffle and claiming that the victim now known as Virginia Giuffre is a “scam artist” who is “playing you all for fools” and “deserves” a “prison cell full of rats.”
Last night – in an utterly disgraceful move that shows GB News well and truly as a channel suited only for the spreading of crackpot conspiracy theories – the “deeply unpleasant” Dan Wootton furthered this outrage by inviting the thick toff “you’ll never see on Mastermind” that is known in some circles as ‘Lady Herpes’ onto his show and giving her airtime to parade yet more of her poison.
Featuring this birdbrained batshit bonkers berk’s trademark “you knows” and “ums” and “ers” – which indicate only how truly mentally challenged this nasty piece of toerag who also believes Ghislaine Maxwell to be a “scapegoat” truly is – in a diatribe of disgrace lasting 10 minutes or thereabouts, grubby grifter Lady Victoria claimed Prince Andrew “wanted to prove his innocence in court.” She added that she believed he was “pressurised” by his family into settling for a “mixture of reasons,” yet couldn’t quantify what those reasons might have been. No surprises there.
Going further, this pugnacious party crasher told Wootton: “It was a setup over twenty years… Of course, it’s financially motivated. As soon as [Giuffre] runs out of money, she’s suing someone else and she’ll probably do it again. There will be another story when she blows this money… I think she’s shown her real colours… I hope Prince Andrew can put these false allegations behind him.” As was the case with Maxwell, when asked if she’d spoken with the prince, this threesome loving fruitcake most curiously declined to comment.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Alan Dershowitz took to Rumble to join in the firestorm and also had a pop at Virginia Giuffre. After banging on about the unfathomably dumb Sarah Palin, this lawyer – who has, without showing an ounce of shame, represented “taxes are only for the little people” believer Leona Helmsley and rapists including Harvey Weinstein and Mike Tyson previously and variously has described Giuffre as “serial liar,” a “prostitute,” and a “bad mother,” who could not be believed “against somebody with an unscathed reputation like me” – bleated of a lady taking him to court for defamation: “She was pressured into accusing me.”
Worked up like a crazed hyena on heroin, Dershowitz turned to Winston Churchill and stole a great quote from the revered politician: “A false story makes it halfway around the world before the truth can get its shoes on.” He then concluded: “There is absolutely no evidence in my case… [Virginia Giuffre] is a child trafficker [herself]… Now, my case becomes the big case because it is the only case left where Virginia Giuffre’s credibility can be tested… My hope is that everyone will agree that this was a made-up story. I have to fight and will continue to fight.”
Of the Internet, Alan Dershowitz himself once remarked: “There is a permanent record today, and it’s called the Internet… [It] knows no national borders.” Now, today, we must also remind him, Prince Andrew, Lady Victoria Hervey and Dan Wootton that their attempts to use the media to attempt to shame acknowledged victims of abuse will forever remain on permanent record. A curse on the houses of all four of these reprehensible ratbags.
“Devil’s Advocate” and “Demon of Evil” Alan Dershowitz’s not-so ‘finest’ moments…
On truth: “There are many levels of truth… The law is agnostic to the truth. It’s very sceptical of ultimate truth.”
On telling lies to the media: “There’s no federal crime that says it’s illegal to lie to the media.”
On convicted mucky madam sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “She must be presumed innocent.”
Asked about his one-time friend and client, the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein: “I’m a very strong supporter of the MeToo movement… I think of myself like a doctor or a priest. If they whell Jeffrey Epstein into the emergency ward, the doctor is going to take care of him… Every honest criminal lawyer will you that he defends the guilty and the innocent.”
On Virginia Roberts Giuffre (who he is currently in litigation with): “I have been falsely accused.”
On another victim of Jeffrey Epstein known simply as “A.H.”: “She, herself, has chosen to go by the nickname of ‘pimp juice’… [She has an] an apparent fascination with marijuana… and a long record of lying, theft, and blaming others for her crimes.”
On trials and truth (clearly said before considering his own situation and that of his old muckers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell): “All sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth.”
On justice: “A criminal trial is never about seeking justice for the victim. If it were, there could be only one verdict: guilty… Well, you know, all law is about injustice.”
On famous people and justice: “Every celebrity… The one thing you can be sure of is they don’t get the same justice as everybody else.”
On judges: “[They] are the weakest link in our system of justice.”
On good and bad people (in spite of his associations with some truly repugnant individuals): “Good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell.”
On money: “I never do anything for money; I get paid a lot of money as a by-product.”
On guns: “It is bigoted to say guns are quintessentially American… There’s no evidence that I’m aware of that guns reduce crime.”
On what interests him most: “I’m not a single-issue person, but I spend so much time on Israel.”
On insane people: “Well, many insane people and seriously mentally ill people seem very reasonable.”
On those that dislike him: “I’ve thought of publishing a book of my hate mail, but I don’t own the rights to the letters.”
On how he lives: “I love discomfort. I mean, my whole life is discomfort.”
On his reputation: “My reputation is more important than my book.”
On whose views matter most: “I’m never satisfied unless I get the last word.”
Alan Dershowitz didn’t do a very good job of trying to not look decidedly deranged on his Rumble channel on Tuesday.Eton and Cambridge educated financier Euan Rellie accurately summed up Alan Dershowitz after the latter wrote an article for ‘Spectator USA’ about Ghislaine Maxwell in July 2020. Of the former lawyer of Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, Rellie quite correctly observed: “This guy @AlanDersh is protesting way too much.”
Alan Dershowitz was played by Ron Silver in the spectacular 1990 American drama film ‘Reversal of Fortune’ with Jeremy Irons as Claus von Bülow (1926 – 2019) and Glenn Close as Sunny von Bülow (1932 – 2008). The 111-minute film grossed £12.3 million at the box office and was deservedly lauded for its “exceptional performances” and “cunning script.” At that time, he came across as a crusading advocate and decent man, but in the years since he’s clearly moved to the dark side.‘GB News’ presenter Dan Wootton is a deservedly disliked television presenter. Pictured here with the late Caroline Flack, here is an import into Britain that the country could clearly do without. There’s nothing good about him and there’s nothing British either.
“Deeply Unpleasant” Dan Wootton’s not-so ‘finest’ moments…
On Tatler magazine: “A repulsive… bible for the elite… that makes my skin crawl… Tatler should be shunned because of the vile way it perpetuates a class system that does so much damage to society. Not Quite Our Magazine, Darling.”
On Eurovision: “We are too cool for it, but I’ve got passion for it.”
On Dominic Cummings (who’d probably have preferred even Katie Hopkins as a defender): “Make no mistake, the establishment is out to get Dominic Cummings… I despair.”
On footballer David Beckham and his singer turned fashion designer wife Victoria (whose fans responded with fury): “Weird and creepy.”
On singer George Shelley (whose fans got equally upset): “[He’s] done a Tom Daley and come out as bisexual.”
On singer Susan Boyle (whose management hit back with denial): “Volatile… Forced to shop at Tesco and travel by bus.”
On political activist and Novara Media editor Ash Sarkar (before he “shut her down” during a “fiery conversation”): “Grasping.”
On Celebrity Masterchef winner Emma Kennedy (who reported him to Ofcom and threated to sue him with the help of Carter Ruck): “Deranged Boris hater.”
Lady Victoria Hervey would now do well to stick to hanging around with washed-up wannabes like Christabel Milbanke and disgraced television presenter Angus Deayton.Lady Victoria Hervey will never go down in history as a brainbox. Instead, she will be remembered as a peddler of piffle and for sharing sordid secrets of threesomes. She’d do well to shut her almighty trap and keep clear of ticketed business and parties that she would never in an eternity ever actually be invited to.
“Anything But A Lady… More Like A Slag” Lady Victoria Hervey’s not-so ‘finest’ moments…
On herself: “I’m not stupid. I’m not a dumb model… “[I aim to become] the next Kate Winslet – but with class… I’ve had Botox of course… I suddenly thought, I’m just Victoria Hervey… Horrible.”
Of her “past lives” in crackpot clear fashion: “I have had four past lives, three of them as a man. I was a composer in 17th-century Paris, I made materials in India and in Ancient Greece I was a famous politician. In Ancient Egypt I was keeper of the oils for the Pharaoh’s wife, and I love oils so it all kind of fits.”
On working: “I do have a day job… My career always goes much better when I haven’t got a man.”
Of other people and work and money: “What annoys me is when these families have got like 12 children and we’re paying for these kids… They work out that they make more money being on the dole than having a job, they just laze around… The real irony of this is that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.”
On what she drinks in Dawn Ward-like fashion: “Unless it’s champagne, I can’t handle it.”
On the Black Lives Matter movement (in spite of her ancestors being abolitionists): “F*ck BLM.”
On having children (thankfully she’s not yet had any): “A baby is very easy – you hand them over to a nanny… I’m kind of into star signs and I want my baby to have a sign that’s compatible with mine. It’s to plan though… We’ll just have to see… We’ll do the embryos and then I’ll figure out which month I’d like the baby to be born.”
On coronavirus: “I believe in natural immunity… It’s completely hyped! The biggest worldwide conspiracy that has ever happened… [Its’] Bill Gates’ goal to bring out this vaccine to depoluate the world. I’m not going to be a lab rat.”
On being told to wear a face mask: “I storm out of any shop [that asks me to put one on].”
Of Prince Andrew’s sexual antics: “At the end of the day, he’s only a man, and he’s male, right? I don’t think anyone can expect him to just be a monk in a monastery.”
On why even Jeffrey Epstein rejected her: “I was too old for Jeffrey Epstein… [He seemed] very charming… He was a very well-liked guy… Jeffrey was a very charismatic man.”
Of the one-time mates she happily took hospitality from: “Ghislaine and Jeffrey were like Batman and Robin.”
On why Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell invited her to their gatherings: “I was pretty much used as bait.”
On hanging around with paedophiles: “For me, it just seemed like fun at the time.”
Of why she falsely thought Ghislaine Maxwell was going to disappear forever: “I haven’t seen [Ghislaine Maxwell] since September [2018] at a friend’s baby shower… I don’t think anyone is going to find her. She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.”
Of Ghislaine Maxwell after her conviction: “[Ghislaine] unfortunately now is a scapegoat. There’s no one else to blame… It is not quite as fair as it could be.”
On Virginia Giuffre: Amongst her many tiresome tirades against an acknowledged victim of sex trafficking, this privileged pillock – described by the by-contrast lovely, late fellow ‘It Girl’ Tara Palmer-Tomkinson as “unpleasant” and “a right snob,” – has remarked:
“This was about to go Live on Lorraine last week. Please can someone let me know what the age of consent is in the UK. I thought it’s 17. Some of these stories sound like a case study of Regret turning into Revenge. This story has been so blown out of proportion. Or has it. Nobody knows.”
“People are literally murdering people in LA and getting out of jail. It’s a real life gotham city blood bath. I know Ghislaine is obviously not a saint and should pay back the trauma caused to her ‘victims’ but lifetime in jail for touching a girls tit 20 years ago and taking them on yacht, private jet and shopping trips. Come on. This has become a witch hunt. Thoughts on this? What does she deserve?”
“And while I’m here I may as well let out some other thoughts. That Virginia Roberts is a complete whore. She was no innocent girl. At 15 she ended up in hospital with alcohol poisoning. She’s just a ghetto opportunist whose seriously mixed up. I really genuinely wanted to feel bad for these girls but the trial gave us nothing.”
“And yes, drinking yourself into hospital doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a whore but it shows how mentally unstable you are.”
“I just can’t with the sob stories. Virginia was a classified train wreck. She wanted to go on those trips. In fact she’d do anything to be invited. During the recent trial her friend said she texted her after prince andrew and was boasting about it. Money hungry girls like her do not help the real people going through human trafficking.”
“You cannot compare Virginia to the character in my friends movie totally different girl was literally kept in a cage. Virginia was living the high life. I’m so sick of these me too girls cashing in and ruining it for the girls that really do need help and are desperate that are being killed and tortured.”
“Basically, you cannot question a victim in today’s climate. So even though Virginia was of age and clearly became a co-conspirator herself, we in the public are not allowed to question her or her motives.”
“Would she be suing these people if they were broke and molesting her in a trailer park? Which by the sounds of things she was dropping her knickers in all sorts of places. I also knew one of the other ‘victims’ who was also a total money hungry drug addict slut and a f*ck up. I’m so over this.”
As Prince Andrew becomes an ideal case study for Jon Ronson’s ‘So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed’ after his £12 million settlement with Virginia Giuffre, we ask: “Where next for this non-sweater and his spendaholic live-in ex-wife?”
Unsurprisingly, after it was announced he’d reached a preliminary settlement with Virginia Giuffre on Tuesday afternoon, Prince Andrew was yet again slammed for his poor judgment and poor choice of friends.
Totaling a sum of “more than £12 million ($16.2 million, €14.3 million or درهم59.7 million)” if The Telegraph’s Victoria Ward and Josie Ensor are to be believed, the undisclosed out of court settlement awarded to a trafficked lady who claimed to have been forced into having sexual relations and been raped on three occasions when she was just 17 marks a remarkable turnabout.
They say: “A picture paints a thousand words” and this picture, taken on 10th March 2001, at the home of the since convicted mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell did that all over the world for the “chubby fingered” grabber Prince Andrew. It went viral and in spite of the claims of lascivious loons like Lady Victoria Hervey about it being Photoshopped, it has never been discredited.Ironically, in March 1999, Prince Andrew was referenced in an article in ‘The Sun’ about “a crusade about child abuse.” At the time, he declared: “It’s an outrage we must end. We must act and should our responsibility. Failure isn’t an option.” Only two years later, he found himself in the company of a 17-year-old sex trafficked girl in the form of Virginia Giuffre courtesy of his child abuser mates Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. What did he do? He subsequently denied having even having met her, yet now has paid her in excess of £12 million. Strange that, strange that.An email sent by the Duke of York on Saturday 3rd January 2015 at 5.50am to Ghislaine Maxwell was definitely key to his undoing. For a man who denied having met his accuser, it seems strange that he messaged his alleged one-time lover Maxwell and stated: “Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.”A subsequent email, sent to Ghislaine Maxwell by lawyer and Jeffrey Epstein associate Alan Dershowitz – who is currently involved in a defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre – a week later on Saturday 10th January 2015 at 3.14pm, read: “Dear G, Do you know whether the photo of Andrew and Virginia is real? You are in the background.” Clearly considering the matter important, Robert Maxwell’s deviant daughter responded within 11 minutes at 3.25pm and answered: “It looks real. I think it is. Warmly, G.” That very relevant email surfaced only recently and after being leaked was published in the ‘Daily Mail’ yesterday; if it had been seen by Prince Andrew it most certainly would have influenced his decision to settle. The Duke of York will go down in history as one the royal family’s most notable laughing stocks. Pilloried across the globe and mocked up as the late paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile even, here is a playboy prince whose painfully pathetic excuses eventually quite deservedly brought his privileged world crashing down.
In predictably out-of-touch form, the BBC’s royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell – once derided by Prince Charles who commented of him: “I can’t bear that man. I mean, he’s so awful, he really is” – suggested Prince Andrew could possibly “find a route back to public life” by campaigning for the victims of sex trafficking. Though clearly Witchell has visions of the Queen’s second son redeeming his reputation from rotten and reviled to once again revered in the fashion of John Profumo, this seems extremely far-fetched and predictably cack-handed comment outraged many on social media.
In a joint statement issued by power broker lawyer David Boies, it was declared:
“Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew have reached an out of court settlement.”
“The parties will file a stipulated dismissal upon Ms Giuffre’s receipt of the settlement (the sum of which is not being disclosed). Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights.
“Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks.”
“It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years.”
“Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others.”
“He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims.”
Responding to the statement, Los Angeles trial attorney Christa Ramey tellingly remarked: “The prince definitely had something to fear from the case moving forward, that’s why it was settled essentially without lawyers conducting any discovery,” whilst councillor Darryl Smalley of York Council added: “Following the news that Prince Andrew has reached a financial settlement in the sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him, we are reiterating our calls for his title as the Duke of York to be removed.”
Going further and totally slamming the renegade royal, media lawyer Mark Stephens told the PA news agency: “[Prince Andrew] is reputationally toast and will never appear on a royal balcony ever again and has effectively been airbrushed from polite society and the royal family.”
Pictured top – Mouthy mouse-not-a-man Prince Andrew claimed that he never went out in London without a jacket and tie, this picture proved that claim a lie (left); Prince Andrew might now do well to read Jon Ronson’s ‘So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed,’ it might offer him a little hope as he tries to forge a new life (centre) and Prince Andrew pictured guffawing in military regalia, he won’t be doing much of that in the coming years (right).
SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED – WHERE NEXT FOR ‘RANDY ANDY’ AND ‘FARTING FERGIE’?
Given he’s well and truly pissed off Prince Charles and Prince William, aside from likely losing his position as a Counsellor of State – as was suggested by the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden in January – shamed Prince Andrew may well also soon find himself turfed out of the Grade II listed mansion where he’s lived since 2003.
The freehold of Royal Lodge – said to have an “open market value of at least £30 million ($40.6 million, €35.8 million or درهم149.2 million)” – is owned by the Crown Estate and if Prince Andrew and his live-in ex-wife (resident there since 2008) are asked to disappear into obscurity by the royal family, instead, this pair of national embarrassments could instead:
Move in with ‘Ginge & Cringe’?
Given this demanding duo like to live large and spend big, living in ‘La La Land’ in the £10.3 million ($14 million, €12.2 million or درهم51.4 million) mansion of his equally tiresome exiled nephew might well appeal to the disgraced Duke of York.
Whilst ‘Randy Andy’ could busy his days ogling Californian blondes and playing golf with the drip Prince Harry at the Jack Nicklaus designed Montecito Club, it’d be a delight for ‘Fergie’ to be close to her old mucker Oprah Winfrey. Maybe they could team up with the former Meghan Markle and make some scones and wonga together. That’d solve a few financial woes and pay for a Bentley or two.
The price:
Well, who knows, but you can guess your bottom dollar that ‘MeGain’ would want as much as she could get for her guest cottage. She is a broad, after all, with a penchant for raking in millions from Netflix and Spotify.
We reckon:
Whilst very appealing in many ways as Americans do love royals of any kind, Prince Andrew might well to do well avoiding America for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t want a visit from the FBI and a potential criminal case after all.
Buy themselves a private island off Scotland?
Helicopter loving Prince Andrew could instead whisk his live-in ex-wife off to live on the currently uninhabited 61.77-acre Holm of Huip private island in the Orkney Isles.
Complete with its own pod of seals and once occupied by Vikings, selling agents Vladi Private Islands remark of it: “The island can certainly be described as well-connected” and emphasise that the remains of three stone houses could be “renovated and made habitable.”
The price:
Given the prince and his ex-wife are no doubt now of much reduced means, they’d welcome the thank the price has moved from £350,000 ($474,000, €417,000 or درهم1.7 million) in January 2015 to “offers welcomed.”
We reckon:
Given this island has been on the market for so long, the ‘No Longer So Grand Old Duke of York’ could probably do a part exchange on the island and trade in his Bentley for it.
However, though it’d suit the public a treat to see this pair of grubby grabbers castaway, the local wildlife may not be so welcoming of witnessing Fergie having her toes sucked on the island’s long, sandy southern beach.
Head back for a non-sweaty encounter in the Falkland Islands?
Given he didn’t totally disgrace himself and was even lauded as a hero for his actions there by some after he fought there in 1982, returning to the Falkland Islands could be a good way out for Jeffrey Epstein’s former bestie.
Joining a total population of around 3,400 people might well also appeal to the chatterbox ‘Fergie’ since it is “a very social place” and “stopping for a chat is a way of life.” She could get the locals involved in her Fergie & Friends YouTube channel. Wouldn’t that be swell?
The price:
There are no estate agents on the Falklands and to acquire land, you do require a licence from the Attorney General. A brand spanking new timber framed kit house might seem like a veritable bargain to the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York as one could cost them just £80,000 ($108,000, €95,300 or درهم398,000), but there’s one major issue: Given there’s no Pizza Express in the territory, what would ‘Randy’ do when he wanted a good old Sloppy Giuseppe?
We reckon:
Andrew Windsor claimed in his 2019 BBC interview with Emily Maitlis that going to the islands caused him “a peculiar medical condition which is that I don’t sweat or I didn’t sweat at the time and that was… was it… yes, I didn’t sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at and I simply… it was almost impossible for me to sweat.”
Going back wouldn’t require the pair taking a container load of deodorant, but according to The Guardian: “In a place where everybody knows everybody’s business, there’s no hope of minding your own.” That might prove a bit problematic if ‘Randy’ gets a bit handy with any young lady down at the local in the capital, Stanley.
Perform a coup and take over the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s empty ‘Paedo Island’ or the incarcerated awaiting trial alleged paedo Peter Nygard’s Nygård Cay home?
Both the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York liked holidaying in luxury residences owned by the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged and currently incarcerated paedophile Peter Nygård. On occasions, they even took their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Despite being scenes of disgusting depravity on an epic scale, we’re certain the most rotten royal ratbags since the late Duke and Duchess of Windsor would be willing to gloss over that and focus on “livin’ la vida loca.” Fergie’s most definitely rather good at that; well, she’s actually rather spiffingly good at that until a ‘Fake Sheikh’ comes along.
The price:
Neither paedo property is likely to be in the price range of a couple who’ve lived beyond their means for most of their lives. Jeffrey Epstein spent circa £19.2 million ($26 million, €22.9 million or درهم95.5 million) on Little St James and Great St James islands whilst Nygård allegedly sought £43.6 million ($59 million, €51.9 million or درهم216.7 million) for his crib.
We reckon:
Despite lapping it up in luxury they’d never have to pay for, the ‘Rotten Old Duke of York’ and his ex-wife missus would find themselves on a hiding to nothing with these properties. After all, they wouldn’t even be able to find the coppers to keep the electricity meters running for half a day given the bills Prince Andrew’s now facing.
SO YOU’VE BEEN PUBLICLY SHAMED – WHAT TWITTER MADE OF PRINCE ANDREW’S SETTLEMENT WITH VIRGINIA GIUFFRE…
Amongst those commenting on Tuesday’s development were Nazir Afzal OBE, former Chief Crown Prosecutor for North West England and Richard Eden of the ‘Daily Mail.’ Mr Afzal remarked: “He is willing to pay [Virginia Giuffre] large sums of money for something he denies. Make of that what you will” whilst Mr Eden added: “Prince Andrew should be banned from public events.”The BBC’s ‘Have I Got News For You’ brought up two-for-one offers at Pizza Express whilst others condemned the rotten royal as a “toxic asset both to the royal family and the UK.”Others enquired: “Who exactly is paying for Prince Andrew’s settlement?” whilst plenty suggested: “If he was entirely innocent and had never met [Virginia Roberts], he wouldn’t have settled.”Art expert Dr Bendor Grosvenor declared: “We hereby award Prince Andrew the Order of the Moron” whilst the actor Hugh Osborne brought the Britain’s equally loathed lothario Prime Minister into it. He concluded: “War in Ukraine. Prince Andrew. Fair do’s to Boris Johnson: he knows how to lay his hands on a dead cat.”
THE DASTARDLY DUKE OF YORK’S MUCH DESERVED DEMISE…
The new world for the Queen’s second son is not going to be pleasant. Graffiti labelling him a “sweaty nonce” has been scrawled on a number of walls across Britain already and there will be likely even more of the same to come.The Duke of York’s downfall was most definitely speeded up at the behest of Prince Charles and his son Prince William. They, unlike the overprivileged prat forced into a climbdown on Tuesday, realised the importance of concluding this most disgraceful and embarrassing chapter.In January 2015, after the allegations of Virginia Giuffre against the Duke of York were revealed, the then Mayor of London Boris Johnson responded by commenting: “Prince Andrew, let’s be very clear, is a guy who does a huge amount of unsung, unheralded work for this country and people, they go on and on about air miles and so on – actually, I’ve seen that guy get out there and sell this country, try and help British firms to get business around the world. He does a huge amount of good and a huge amount of hard work. So, if you ask me whether I have sympathy for him, of course I do.” At that time, the prince’s live-in ex-wife ‘Feckless Fergie’ added: “He is the greatest man there is.” Perhaps it is now time for this disgraceful pair to eat their words.Whilst Prince Andrew has pretended not to remember hanging out with Ghislaine Maxwell and President Bill Clinton at Buckingham Palace, this recently surfaced picture showed him up yet again. In it, a young girl (face blurred) is shown wearing a “God Save The Queen” T-shirt.Regular ‘Lolita Express’ flyer President Bill Clinton (pictured here in 1999 golfing with the Duke of York) could be next on the target list for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He certainly has a lot of questions to answer.Will the Duke of York and his live-in ex-wife be forced out of Royal Lodge, Windsor? If they remain there in close proximity to the Queen, they will undoubtedly remain under scrutiny and it is likely that Prince Charles and Prince William will attempt to have them moved on.Equally troublesome for Prince Andrew right now is the fact his name is due to be mentioned in another court case, a High Court money laundering case involving his former marital home, Sunninghill Park. Though the house constructed for the royal couple has been demolished and replaced, the ghosts of the House of York are coming back to haunt.
“Very unkind” windbag writer Rachel Johnson, a sympathiser of convicted mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, offers sympathies windbag ball and cat kicker Kurt Zouma
“Poundland muckspreader” and “associate of two dirty dildo floggers” Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge CBE has been deservedly slammed for not firing Kurt Zouma, an overpaid kicker of bags of wind for West Ham, after he giggled as he got his brother to film him kicking and slapping a cat in his kitchen.
Now, the Prime Minister’s somewhat off her merry rocker sister, windbag writer Rachel Johnson, has decided to stick her claws in and on her LBC radio show yesterday suggested:
“Listen, I mean I know, thank God it’s after the watershed. I am not a cat person… However, I do think we are in danger of overreacting and cancelling Kurt Zouma for one misguided kick in his kitchen which his silly brother posted on social media.”
“He’s 27, clearly he’s old enough to know better, but do we really want to live in a world where one silly mistake can lead to the end of somebody’s career? I think we don’t.”
“I think he’s taken his punishment, his cats are no longer in the house. I think he should apologise and move on. I think there are bigger issues at stake.”
As we said of Baroness Brady – who pathetically excused this animal abuser and even suggested he could “turn something negative into long-lasting positives” – yesterday and we repeat again to Rachel Johnson today: “Try telling that to the poor abused cat.”
Previously, in November 2021, ‘Rabid Rachel’ penned another ‘excuse article’ for The Spectator that was rightly condemned as “sickening.” In it, the daughter of Stanley Johnson – a man whose first wife declared: “He hit me many times, over many years… He broke my nose. He made me feel like I deserved it” – offered her thoughts on the trial of the since convicted mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell and disgracefully declared:
“It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell – 500 days and counting in solitary confinement.”
“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.”
“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.”
Clearly Rachel Johnson – who believes being “called unkind… really cuts to the quick” – is a woman with a moral compass as warped as not only her buffoon brother Boris Johnson, but also a woman who’ll excuse the activities of both the abusers of animals and humans. Perhaps it is now time for this blonde bozo to reassess her recent remarks and realise that the cats and victims of a sick sex trafficker are the ones she’s most definitely been most unkind to.

“Very Unkind” Rachel Johnson’s Most Ridiculous Remarks
On boozy lockdown breaking parties in Downing Street:
“I didn’t see much of the Prime Minister and his family during lockdown, but the times I did see him, he was completely compliant: he dotted every ‘I,’ he crossed every ‘T.’”
“If it was rule of six, there were six. And what I didn’t see were all the things you’ve been reading about.”
“To my mind, if he did go out into the Downing Street garden – and he’s told us he did – for him, that would have been work. He may have had a drink, I don’t know. Is that one of the key questions? But that would have been work.”
“For example, at his birthday, it was me, my three brothers, Carrie and Wilf. That was six people. And I have to tell you something about my brother’s character.”
“You’ve been seeing the front pages which couldn’t have been worse: suitcases of booze going into Downing Street from the Co-op.”
“I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that he has never once turned to me or any member of my family and said: ‘I tell you what, let’s have an office party’ or: ‘I tell you what, let’s have a party.’”
“If anything, he would say: ‘Let’s play reading,’ when we were growing up, or even in our twenties, or: ‘Let’s play, who can memorise the most poems from the Oxford book of verse’’ And, of course, it was always him.”
“Look, I’m just telling you what I saw over lockdown and what I know of my brother’s character.”
On her own character:
“Of course, I’m naughty.”
“Without my Johnson trademark mop of yellow hair, I think I would be nothing.”
On politicians:
“If you tell the truth you get into trouble and that’s why politicians are extremely dull.”
On the sex trafficker and daughter of a thieving murderer Ghislaine Maxwell:
“It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell.”
On food and coffee:
“In Germany, salads are assemblies of ham and mayonnaise.”
“I am a total coffee snob and bore. If anyone makes the mistake of offering me ‘a coffee’ they tend to regret it. I’m worse than Mariah Carey and the hot milk rider is completely non-negotiable.”
On her work:
“I used to sit at home in my tracksuit bottoms and the real excitement of my day would be going out to get a copy of Private Eye and a latte.”
“It’s often discouraging sitting working at home, wondering whether to put the heating on, answering the doorbell to the gas board, feeling it’s all utterly pointless.”
“The Lady [which she was the 9th editor of between 2009 and 2013] is a piddling little magazine that no one cares about or buys.”
On what others think of her:
“I’m worried about looking like a bad person… I don’t like the public image I’ve been dressed with and it worries me.”
“When I’m called unkind, that really cuts to the quick. You can say anything else that you like about me.”
“I don’t mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.”
Nikolay Kalinin on Boris Johnson’s refusal to apologise for the slur on Sir Keir Starmer about the paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile and his “let them eat cheese” attitude towards the public
By now, the majority of people in Britain with at least two brain cells are aware of the fact that Boris Johnson is an expert at misinforming the public – a skill which is only rivalled by his former colleagues who worked at Vote Leave.
Not only has ‘Boris The Buffoon’ misled the public about the 10 Downing Street parties that happened during the time when social gatherings were banned (firstly by claiming that “there were no parties” and then by saying that all COVID guidelines were followed), but now he has misled the public about Sir Keir Starmer’s role in the Sir Jimmy Savile case. In doing so, he put the latter into danger when a crazed mob attacked the Labour leader on Monday on a public highway.
Answering a question in the House of Commons about Sue Gray’s report into 10 Downing Street parties, Johnson said that during his time as director of public prosecutions, Sir Keir “spent more time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile,” despite the fact that Starmer was not in control of the case revolving around the paedophile presenter.
Spurned on by Johnson’s utter waffle, a mob surrounded Starmer and shadow foreign secretary David Lammy during a protest on Monday, accusing him of protecting Savile and calling him a “traitor,” with one of the protesters even holding up a noose. As a result, Sir Keir and Lammy had to take refuge in a police car.
The situation – recorded, shared widely on social media and seen by millions – was so abhorrent, that several Conservative MPs have quite rightly called for Johnson to take accountability for his misleading words. Of the slur, Rob Largan MP remarked: “Words matter. What we say and how we say it echoes out far beyond parliament. It can have serious real world consequences. Elected representatives have a responsibility to lower the temperature of debate, not add fuel to the fire.”
I never thought I’d say this, but in recent weeks Boris Johnson has made George III seem by comparison sane. His trajectory path also proves that in spite of all the evidence of his clear incompetence, this self-serving man simply thinks he remains entitled to remain with his puppet mistress in their £840 a roll Lulu Lytle clad crib and that the entire nation and not just Guto Harri should take the knee before him. Misquoting a phrase Marie Antoinette supposedly never actually said, the Prime Minister’s view is: “Let them eat cheese… I Will Survive.” (whilst Gloria Gaynor plays on).
Boris Johnson, asked in January 2020, replied: “I take my hat off to vegans who can handle it, who can manage to avoid all the non-vegan products, but… you can’t eat cheese can you, if you’re a vegan? It’s just a crime against cheese lovers.” He then proceeded throughout the 2020 and 2021 lockdowns to eat lots of it, whilst his boozed up wife noshed on Daylesford Organic and gyrated to Abba with her besties Josh Grimstone and Henry Newman.Boris Johnson is quite rightly being blamed for a crazed mob attacking Sir Keir Starmer in Westminster on Monday. He ought to do the decent thing and admit that his words incited this very mob and then he ought to follow the correct course of action and apologise. If he wanted to do things 100% right, he’d actually now just realise his time is up and resign, but there is, as of yet, no sign of any realisation of that.Boris Johnson’s refusal to apologise for the slur on Sir Keir Starmer in which he suggested the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service failed to prosecute Sir Jimmy Savile brings shame on no one other than himself. Pictured here: The late ‘entertainer’ with a penchant for anything with a pulse – be it a girl, boy, man, woman or dead body even – with his late serial killer mate Peter Sutcliffe at Broadmoor. Given they both resided in Yorkshire at the same time, in November 2020, ‘Yorkshire Live’ went as far as to suggest: “There are even suspicions among some that paedophile Savile may have been The [Yorkshire] Ripper’s’ killing accomplice.”The arrogance of Boris Johnson and the former Carrie Symonds has widely been mocked online. That they continue to think the ‘Court of Carrie’ can carry on regardless simply shows how out of touch they are with reality. It is time for this dodgy duo to take a holiday; a permanent holiday far, far away from 10 Downing Street.
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.
