‘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.

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.
Tory twerp and gormless government minister The Rt. Hon. Nadine Dorries MP brings shame on the Tories through her irresponsible tweeting
The Rt. Hon. Nadine Dorries MP is currently employed as the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Rather like The Rt. Hon. David Mellor QC – a slug-like cretin and one-time Minister for the Arts, before her – this mouthy menace neither realises that she holds an office of state nor accepts that she ought to behave with dignity.
On Monday, taking to Twitter and likely doing so whilst having quite possibly hit the booze after a jolly jaunt to lunch, this nurse turned novelist first had a pop at her old enemy David Cameron.
In a tweet at 4:24pm, the Member for Mid Bedforshire shared an image of the former Prime Minister and childishly chattered:
“Whether it’s a major music festival, sporting event or concert, it’s important people pay a fair price to see the events they love. Please remain vigilant when considering to buy from ticket touts. Guidance is available if you are unsure.”
Going further and probably off her skull by them, Dorries turned to a more serious matter – that of Boris Johnson, his now wife and their £800 a roll wallpaper flogger having a birthday bash in Downing Street in breach of the regulations the PM had forced upon the public – and pointedly pontificated:
“So, when people in an office buy a cake in the middle of the afternoon for someone else they are working in the office with and stop for ten minutes to sing happy birthday and then go back to their desks, this is now called a party?”
Shame on this ridiculous woman. She ain’t funny and perhaps she should just disappear and return to eating the anuses of ostriches in some far away jungle. Next!
Nadine Dorries took to Twitter on the afternoon of Monday 24th January 2022 to first mock David Cameron and accuse him of being a ticket tout and then returned later on to attempt to defend the latest allegations against Boris Johnson’s partying at Downing Street. Given she is a government minister, how does she have time for such activities?The Member of Parliament for Mid Bedfordshire has repeatedly shamed herself previously. In 2012, this obnoxious woman was suspended from the Conservative Party after taking money to appear on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ without informing the chief whip; later, first in July 2019 and then secondly in September 2021, Boris Johnson promoted this brainless berk.The fact that this Liverpudlian born lunatic took £20,228 to humiliate herself on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ about sums up how utterly beyond lowbrow she totally is. That she also paid her daughter £40,000 to £50,000 to work in her office in 2013 was am equally seedy moment.Twitter users reacted to the tweets by Dorries by condemning her. One, Sarah-Jayne Kenyon, rightly remarked: “As a Minister of State, have you really nothing better/more important you should be doing.” Another suggested that this mindless MP must have been on the hooch.Investigative journalist Michael Crick asked of a mocked-up image of David Cameron selling items: “Aren’t those Nadine Dorries’s dresses on the rail behind?” whilst the ex-leader of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron ridiculously quipped: “Unpopular opinion: This is actually quite funny.”With her tweets today, Dorries has definitely entered the very same territory as David Mellor. The pair of these pointless pillocks should get a room.
The backing of The Rt. Hon. Nadine Dorries MP doesn’t do the Prime Minister any favours. This pointless pillock is someone who quite frankly isn’t taken seriously by anyone of a right-mind and it is now time that this tedious twerp was sent back to the backbenches. Shame on her.
Failing GB News’ attempt at becoming more patriotic by playing the National Anthem daily gets slated; dimwit Darren Grimes, of course, had to weigh in
This morning at 5:59am prompt – in what seemed like something from an episode of Dad’s Army gone wrong – the comedy channel with bad lighting that is GB News played God Save The Queen “to kick off live programming.” They bragged that they will do so “every day from now on,” but used accompanying imagery that amongst other things included a pile of rocks (pictured above). It was hardly a show of Britain at its best; it was more like tepid tea, in fact – bland and boring.
In an email sent last night, GB News enthused of their laughable attempt at bigging-up Britain:
“The anthem will play out across GB News Television and GB News Radio at 5.59am, ahead of Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel on weekdays, and Breakfast with Stephen and Anne at weekends.
“As you know, the anthem used to be a regular feature at the BBC, who dropped it from their television service 24 years ago. It means GB News will be only British television broadcaster to play the anthem daily.”
“We promised that GB News would celebrate what’s good about our country when we can, and the Queen’s 70 years on the throne is definitely cause for celebration.”
“We’ve selected an uplifting instrumental version which, for our television viewers, will play over photographs of beautiful British scenes at dawn.”
“We think this moment of quiet reflection will be a lovely way to start the day. We hope you do too.”
Though lauded as a “proud moment for British broadcasting,” according to an article this morning in the MailOnline, the version played was subsequently mocked widely online. Of it, one commentator remarked: “If all GB News has got as imagery to promote modern Britain is a falling down castle, they must truly be getting desperate. They’ve lost Andrew Neil and all they have left, aside from [“condom campaigner”] Tom Harwood, is this. What a joke.”
In another image shown to accompany the airing, the ruins of a castle feature. Is this all that the production team could come up with? Are they trying to suggest that once Great Britain is nothing but a land of ruins? Perhaps they were hinting at Boris Johnson’s premiership being akin to a pile of rubble even.David Poulden and Darren Grimes – both of whom work for GB News – have been amongst those to predictably bang on about the matter on Twitter in recent days. As is to always be expected of him, ‘Dim Darren’ has got especially worked up.
We would argue that ‘We Are The Brits’ by Anton Lorien and his subsequent ‘Like A Diamond’ present a better set of imagery that is frankly at least relevant and joyous. Why didn’t GB News take a look at his videos prior to producing their utterly boring version?
Lorien’s ‘Like A Diamond’ has been watched by over 1.1 million on YouTube since it was uploaded in April 2012. It features amazing footage of the Queen – including a video clip of her running to watch one of her racehorses.
The British National Anthem in its present form dates back to the eighteenth century. The words and tune are anonymous, and may date back to the seventeenth century.
God Save The King was a patriotic song first publicly performed in London in 1745, which came to be known as the National Anthem at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
In September 1745, the ‘Young Pretender’ to the British Throne, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, defeated the army of King George II at Prestonpans, near Edinburgh.
In a fit of patriotic fervour after news of Prestonpans had reached London, the leader of the band at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, arranged God Save The King for performance after a play. It was a tremendous success and was repeated nightly.
This practice soon spread to other theatres, and the custom of greeting monarchs with the song as he or she entered a place of public entertainment was thus established.
There is no authorised version of the National Anthem as the words are a matter of tradition. Additional verses have been added down the years, but these are rarely used.
The words used today are those sung in 1745, substituting ‘Queen’ for ‘King’ where appropriate. On official occasions, only the first verse is usually sung.
The words are as follows:
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen.
The British tune has been used in other countries. European visitors to Britain in the eighteenth century noticed the advantage of a country possessing such a recognised musical symbol.
In total, around 140 composers, including Beethoven, Haydn and Brahms, have used the tune in their compositions.
The decision of GB News to begin the day with the National Anthem was preceded by a discussion about whether the BBC should play it daily on 16th January. In it, ex-MP Michael Portillo and Paul Embery agreed that this “isn’t a huge burning issue,” yet Arlene Foster claimed viewers were all asking: “Why wouldn’t the national broadcaster play the National Anthem?”
Romford MP Andrew Rosindell has been a leading figure in attempts to get all broadcasters to play the anthem every evening during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.
WORLD EXCLUSIVE – Ghislaine Maxwell’s Belgravia bonk pad – where Prince Andrew allegedly shockingly had it off with Virginia Roberts in the bath in 2001 – is relisted for £2.6 million just months after it sold for £1.75 million in April 2021; we share the first ever seen photos of that famous tub and ask: “Does its presence add value?”
Everybody in the world has now seen the infamous snapshot of Prince Andrew with his chubby fingers wrapped around the waist of his alleged victim Virginia Roberts at the Belgravia home of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001. Nobody has ever discredited that photograph and nobody has proven that the bathtub in the bathroom that adjoined the first floor landing where they were snapped was anything other than a full-sized 5-foot-6-inches long.
Everyone in the world has also seen the floorplan of the first floor of Miss Maxwell’s former London home, but now, today, The Steeple Times can exclusively share an image of that very bathtub in which the lady now known as Virginia Giuffre claims the Duke of York supposedly had sexual relations with her on 10th March 2001. That still unrenovated home, 44 Kinnerton Street, is now on the market for the sum of £2.6 million – a sum £850,000 higher than it sold for less than a year ago.
Whilst everybody in the world now knows that the now convicted mucky madam daughter of the pension pot plunderer Robert Maxwell faked a photo of herself at an In-N-Out burger joint in August 2019, photographs of the now somewhat tired bathroom in London, SW1 prove it to be a space where two people could easily have cavorted. In sharing them, they show Prince Andrew’s porky pies for exactly what they are. Two people could very easily have fitted into that rotten tub.
Offered by an exotically named firm of real estate hawkers who go by the name of Wellbelove Quested, the 1,573 square foot, three-storey former home of the mucky madam Miss Maxwell is marketed as “charming” and having “plenty of potential.” It is described as “requiring updating,” but unsurprisingly no mention is made as to its tawdry past. A photograph of the very bath where ‘Randy Andy’ allegedly bonked on that fateful night bizarrely features in the marketing material, but somewhat more carefully imagery of the landing area has been left out.
Asked by The Steeple Times for comment, a leading local estate agent – whom wished to remain off the record – remarked:
“Any previous sale at either £1.45 million or £1.75 million seems suspiciously low. At £1,653 per square foot today, it sounds about right in terms of an asking price, although some buyers might be deterred by The Nags Head being so close.”
“As for the activity that may have gone on inside there, I am of the view it adds a bit of interest to the marketing, but neither adds to nor detracts from the value.”
“Equally, now I see these pictures, it looks to me that Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Roberts were all standing in the doorway of the front bedroom of the first floor that day. It begs the question: ‘Why?’”
Contacted earlier in the day by a reader of The Steeple Times who alerted us to the sale subsequently, Andrew Quested of Wellbelove Quested somewhat lackadaisically opined in response via email:
“My clients made a good purchase. I think you will find a lot of properties have a past resident that is not always good… I do understand your thoughts [about the links to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and the Duke of York], but these things pass.”
Occasional contributor to The Steeple TimesJack Hine, however, took a different view. When approached Friday, the Hove, Sussex and Belgravia, London based dealer in vintage memorabilia stated:
“That bath, whatever it’s murky heritage, has royal pedigree and it’s got a grimy, unrestored appearance. ‘Where there’s muck, there’s bloody brass,’ I say.”
“There’s always going to be ghouls out there with a desire for such, so I advise whoever buys 44 Kinnerton Street to most certainly not to put what could become one of the most costly bathtubs in history ever in the skip.”
“Prince Andrew’s antics in this tub may well cost him well north of £10 million and I’d suggest that the new owner of this house will get tens of thousands for that tawdry tub. I’d definitely put in a bid.”
This photograph of the first floor bathroom at 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia proves one thing – those that said that the tub is too small for two are nothing but loopy liars.When asked about what occured on the night of 10th March 2001 in the first floor bathroom at her Kinnerton Street mews house, Ghislaine Maxwell responded: “[Virginia Roberts] then characterized [sic] things took place in my bathroom in the bathtub itself. The tub is too small for any kind of activity whatsoever.” The picture of that very same tub used in marketing material by Wellbelove Quested proves exactly to the contrary.The floor plan shared by the likes ‘The Daily Mail’ and ‘The Sun suggested the first floor bathroom at the house to be 7-foot, 4 inches by 7-foot, 2-inches. Floor plans shared by Wellboved Quested suggest that the room is actually 8-foot, 4-inches by 8-foot, 2-inches. There was most definitely plenty of room for two…Why did they stand on the first floor landing when the only entertaining areas were downstairs? Were they progressing upwards? Was Ghislaine Maxwell leading her friend Prince Andrew and a concubine to a bedroom? Who took the photograph? Many questions remain unanswered, but it’s now clear that the bathtub could easily have fitted two.A floorplan of 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia. In it, mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s home is clearly shown to be a place where ‘public’ entertaining took place on the ground floor, whilst ‘extracurricular’ activities took place on the upper two floors.These photographs of 44 Kinnerton Street, taken in July 2021, provide proof that the bannisters seen in the March 2001 photographs remain inside said property. The setting in which Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts were captured was indeed most definitely genuine. In the same month, the new owners of the property displayed a poster at 44 Kinnerton Street for a festival that was to be held in East Anglia from 31st July 2021 to 1st August 2021. The event, the EA Festival, was hosted at Hedingham Castle – home to Jason and Demetra Lindsay – in Essex and had a line-up that included model and advocate Arizona Muse, film director Mike Figgis, ‘Countdown’s’ Susie Dent, sex commentator Rowan Pelling and comedian Josh Berry. The same open doorway also showed something else… The very same bannister that was shown in the photograph Prince Andrew, Virginia Robert and Ghislaine Maxwell appeared in.In November 2020, ‘The Steeple Times’ featured bathtub mats featuring Prince Andrew’s face and the caption “nonce” that were available for sale through Redbubble.com. Priced then at £23.61 ($32.30, €28.29 or درهم118.61), these 61cm by 43cm polyester microfiber items clearly proved very popular as they are no longer on the site. Clearly, there is a market for bathtub memorabilia that references the Queen’s supposed favourite son.
14th January 2022 – Property website TheMoveMarket.com values the house at £2.11 million ($2.88 million, €2.53 million or درهم59 million), a sum 19% lower than the current asking price for the unrenovated property.
January 2022 – Estate agents Wellbelove Quested offer the mews house for £2.6 million ($3.6 million, €3.1 million or درهم1 million), an extraordinary increase of 49% on the sale price just 270 days earlier. The house is offered on a lease of 127 years that commenced on 24th June 2014 and previously on their website Wellbelove Quested had marketed the house for a higher price of £2.75 million ($3.738 million, €3.283 million or درهم13.731 million).
July 2021 – The Steeple Times reports on repainting work to the outside of the house being underway. An open door reveals the infamous staircase bannister to still be in-situ.
19th April 2021 – Records confirm the house to have been sold for £1.75 million ($2.39 million, €2.09 million or درهم79 million).
March 2021 – Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer offered cash from the “pending sale of her £1.45 million ($2 million, €1.74 million or درهم28 million)” home as part of a package when they sought bail for the mucky madam for a third time, the Daily Mail reported. This sum was 44% lower than the September 2020 asking price and 400% higher than the January 1997 purchase price.
March 2021 – A Knightsbridge estate agent told The Steeple Times: “Knowing the street as I do, 44 is one of the smaller houses which I assume it to be a little over 1,000 square foot in size. Depending on the condition, I estimate the freehold value to be circa £1.8 million to £2 million ($2.5 million to $2.7 million, €2.2 million to €2.4 million or 9درهم million to درهم10 million).”
December 2020 – Members of the Maxwell family attempted to raise finance on the property but are not successful, The Steeple Times learns from a financier with connections to the Maxwell family and their representatives. They were rejected, were rejected on the basis of the “toxicity” of their familial name.
September 2020 – Estate agents Aylesford list 44 Kinnerton Street for sale for £2.6 million ($3.6 million, €3.1 million or درهم1 million) on (it was claimed) a freehold basis, a sum 797% than the January 1997 purchase price. They subsequently later reduce the asking price to £2.1 million ($2.9 million, €2.5 million or درهم10.5 million) “according to a leading property expert.”
August 2019 – According to Insider, a woman with “long hair [who] appeared to be in her 60s” was seen entering the property. She “denied that the socialite owns or lived in the house, claiming instead that the elusive socialite lived elsewhere down the street.”
10th March 2001 – Prince Andrew allegedly had sexual relations with 17-year-old Virginia Roberts in a bathroom in the property. He continues to deny this occurred whilst claiming that a photograph of himself with Miss Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell on the first floor of building is a fake also.
22nd January 1997 – Ghislaine Maxwell paid £290,000 ($396,000, €347,000 or درهم5 million) for the three-storey leasehold mews house. It is situated at the heart of the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Estate.
1989 to 1995 – Ghislaine Maxwell is known to have resided at 69 Stanhope Mews East, South Kensington, London, SW7 5QT. Her father bought it for her two years before his mysterious death and she reportedly “groomed and befriended Minor Victim 3 in London, England, between approximately 1994 and 1995… Maxwell introduced Minor Victim 3 to Epstein and during those interactions, Maxwell encouraged Minor Victim 3 to massage Epstein, knowing that Epstein would engage in sex acts with Minor Victim 3. During those massages, Epstein sexually abused Minor Victim 3” at that very property. It was sold for £267,000 ($365,000, €320,000 or درهم3 million) on 15th March 1995 and then again for £1.75 million ($2.39 million, €2.10 million or درهم8.77 million) on 30th August 2019.
And finally… Some other images of the ‘Mucky Madam’s’ crib
The ground floor sitting room has a somewhat sadistic quality about it. Rather like a doctor or dentist’s waiting room in its styling, here is a room where the mucky madam no doubt just prepped her victims for their prey upstairs. How many chairs does one need for such a purpose?This place is anything but homely. It is, in fact, scary.A kitchen that wasn’t for a coffee and a chat; a kitchen where saintly types like Delia Smith and Mary Berry most definitely don’t belong. Ghislaine Maxwell is personified as a woman as clinical to her core.The mucky mistresses’ master bedroom. God only f$%king knows went on in this creepy crib.Another supposedly innocent looking room that was likely a torture chamber.The bedroom Andrew, Ghislaine and Virginia posed next to. It is currently set up as an extra sitting room rather conveniently, but doesn’t look like a place anyone has bothered or would even to sit.The house even has a roof terrace. It looks f$%ing rotten, just like its former owner, mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of murdering pension pot plunderer Robert Maxwell.And finally, back to that bloody bathroom… It even has double shower. It’s hardly small, is it? It’s perfectly feasible that Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts could have very easily fitted in there also.
After ‘The Sun’ publishes a previously unseen photograph of pompous ‘Prince of Darkness’ Peter Mandelson at a birthday bash for croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in Paris, it is time for Sir Keir Starmer to respond to the petition calling for the peer’s suspension from Labour whilst an investigation is carried out
Proudly “pompous” ‘Prince of Darkness’ Peter Mandelson’s proximity to the prolific paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was first featured on our pages back in June 2020. Now, after The Sun shared a previously unseen photo of the pair together in Paris, calls for Sir Keir Starmer to suspend the peer from Labour whilst an investigation is carried out into how deep their involvement went is again attracting attention.
In the image – taken circa 20th January 2007 in Epstein’s £10.025 million ($13.525 million, €11.900 million or درهم49.670 million) Parisian paedo pad AFTER the lover and associate of Ghislaine Maxwell had been charged with soliciting a woman for prostitution in August 2006 – the pair are seen with diminutive butler Valdson Viera Cotrin celebrating the financier’s birthday.
Pictured in a hoodie in his dining room blowing out candles is Epstein whilst ‘Mandy’ – whom features in the now infamous ‘black book’ we believe belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell with 10 phone numbers attributed – gawps onwards rather over-enthusiastically, a glass of red wine in front of him. The pair look perfectly at ease together, in spite of the fact that various newspapers had already reported on the horrific allegations against the Brooklyn born taxi driver turned teacher turned financier.
As published previously in The Steeple Times, Lord Mandelson – at the time the European Union Trade Commissioner – holidayed with Epstein just months before the latter’s arrest in 2005 on St Barts. The two “middle-aged holidaymakers” were photographed in a fashion boutique where the former was snapped trying on a white belt whilst wearing his £21,000 ($28,500, €25,200 or درهم104,800) Patek Phillipe watch – which the Daily Mail pointedly noted to be worth “almost two months of hism post-tax income”). Opposite him, his clear ‘mate’ Epstein is captured giggling.
The key ‘classic question’ Lord Mandelson now needs to answer is a paraphrasing of that put to decidedly dippy Debbie McGee by the late Caroline Ahern (in her role as the bonkers but brilliant ‘Mrs Merton’) in 1997: “What, first, Peter, was it that attracted you to the multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein?”
To join the 1,500 people who have already signed the petition calling on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer “to SUSPEND Peter Mandelson’s membership of the party while ordering an independent investigation into the extent of Mandelson’s historical involvement in the sex trafficking, paedophilia and sexual blackmail enterprise of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” click here.
The latest picture – featured in ‘The Sun’ shows Jeffrey Epstein living it up with Peter Mandelson at his Paris paedo pad. Whilst Lord Mandelson may or may not have seen newspaper reports about the arrest of his ‘chum’ months earlier, one is left questioning the standard of his judgment in hanging around with this subsequently convicted nonce.The setting of the picture is clearly the dining room of the apartment and the man in the middle of the previous picture is most definitely identifiable as the butler of the house, Valdson Viera Cotrin (pictured munching away at the same table, top).As we’ve said of entries in the address book often misattributed to Jeffrey Epstein, which we instead believe is primarily the contacts of mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell, The Right Honourable The Lord Mandelson PC is someone closer to this deviant duo than most. With TEN phone numbers for him and his partner since 1998, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, this is someone who they clearly had regular contact with.Oxford educated Peter Mandelson (St Catherine’s College, 1973 to 1976, pictured with Matthew Freud) and Oxford educated Ghislaine Maxwell (Balliol College, graduated 1985, pictured with Rupert Murdoch) are connected in multiple ways. Of the pension pot plundering ‘Bouncing Czech,’ the Labour peer once remarked: “It was very strange because you’d simultaneously want to be at Maxwell’s parties and at the same time shrink away from him. Because he was such a bully and so unpredictable. To be honest, I was frightened of his company. He had that ability to make you feel completely small and inadequate, and that just scrambled my head.”
The Seven Questions Lord Mandelson Ought To Answer
Accompanying her iPetition, Petra Malkovich asks seven questions. They are:
1. In January 2009, Peter Mandelson called Jeffrey Epstein in the Palm Beach Stockade (jail) that Mr. Epstein had inhabited after pleading guilty to procuring a minor for sexual abuse. This phone conversation was reported by UK national broadcaster Channel 4 on the Dispatches programme aired in October 2019.
During the phone call, Mandelson sought Epstein’s assistance to set up a meeting with Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan bank. The sex offender referred to Mandelson by a nickname (‘Petie’) during the conversation.
“I must say I was astonished that a British cabinet minister at that time, probably the most powerful man other than the Prime Minister, was calling Jeffrey in jail to make an appointment, to seek an appointment with a very powerful banker in New York,” the whistle-blower told Dispatches.
How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson called a convicted child abuser in jail?
2. In 2012, Peter Mandelson declared in a statement posted on the website of the TerraMar Project, an ostensible charity set up by Ghislaine Maxwell with financial support from Jeffrey Epstein, that he was “supporting” Ms. Maxwell’s organisation. U.S. law enforcement contend that the TerraMar Project was a fake charity slush fund for victims of Maxwell-and-Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson publicly supported Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged ‘fake charity slush fund’ for victims of sex trafficking?
3. On December 27th 2005, Peter Mandelson took part in a shopping trip with Jeffrey Epstein in Saint Barthélemys (photos published by the Daily Mail on August 30th 2019).
Peter Mandelson by this time had “known [Jeffrey Epstein] for several years, having previously once visited his Caribbean island for a holiday – when neither Epstein nor any of the girls were there,” the Daily Mail reported. Mandelson’s partner was also present for the earlier visit, according to eyewitness Cathy Alexander.
How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised in person and discussed business in person with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions [refer also to the events below]?
4. On a date falling after August 2006 and before June 30th 2008, Lord Mandelson paid a social visit to Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s mansion in Paris [see the photo above].
At some point during this rendezvous in Paris of unknown duration, Mandelson and Epstein celebrated a birthday together – seemingly Epstein’s (Epstein was born on January 20th, which could point to the photo having been taken in either January 2007 or January 2008).
Epstein and Mandelson were joined for this birthday celebration by an as-yet-unnamed individual described in the press as an Epstein “staff member.”
How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised with Jeffrey Epstein at the sex trafficker’s Paris residence after Epstein had already been charged with a sex crime (procuring a woman for prostitution)?
5. In March 2011 Virginia Roberts (now Virginia Giuffre) told the Mail on Sunday that Peter Mandelson had visited Jeffrey Epstein at his New York townhouse near Central Park, attending a dinner party with the sex trafficker. “I assumed they were in business together,” she recalled.
How can it be justified that Lord Mandelson socialised and/or discussed business with Jeffrey Epstein in the same building from which Mr Epstein was operating his sex trafficking, paedophilia and blackmail operation with Ghislaine Maxwell, with minors routinely sexually assaulted on the premises by Mr Epstein?
6. In January 2001 Peter Mandelson joined his friend Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic theatre in London, becoming an Associate Director in or before this date (Daily Telegraph, January 5 2001). Spacey had joined the board of the Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000 just a few weeks earlier, in November 2000.
In 2002, Ghislaine Maxwell, another of Mr. Spacey’s close friends, accompanied the Hollywood star on a private tour of Buckingham Palace led by Prince Andrew. Mr. Spacey was using his tenure at the Old Vic to serially sexually assault young actors – at least 20 – with most of the allegations relating to the period up to 2009.
How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was so closely involved with Kevin Spacey and the Old Vic during the period of widespread sexual abuse concerned, yet encountered no reports of these recurring serious sexual abuse episodes involving his friend and colleague?
7. In or before 2013, Peter Mandelson was brought on to the board of the Alfred Herrhausen Society of Deutsche Bank, according to a July 14 2013 report in ‘Der Spiegel’ of Germany. The report identified Anshu Jain as the executive responsible for Mandelson’s appointment. Deutsche Bank executives approved Jeffrey Epstein as a client in 2013 and then kept working with him.
“[In 2013] Deutsche Bank was aggressively expanding its U.S. wealth management business under its new co-chief executive, Anshu Jain… Deutsche Bank executives ignored repeated red flags, including suspiciously large cash withdrawals and 120 wire transfers totaling $2.65 million to women with Eastern European surnames,” the New York Times reported.
Subsequently, Mr Jain “was forced to step down from the top job at Deutsche Bank after a series of regulatory mishaps.” In 2017 Mr Jain was hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s next-door-neighbour, Howard Lutnick of Cantor Fitzgerald, whose sister, Edie Lutnick, was (in common with Mandelson) a prominent self-declared supporter of Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘TerraMar Project’ charity.
How can it be explained that Lord Mandelson was closely involved at Deutsche Bank with the rogue DB executive who was financially enabling Jeffrey Epstein in the exact same period?
In 1997, the late Caroline Ahern (in her role as the bonkers but brilliant ‘Mrs Merton’) jokingly asked the dippy wife of the late magician Paul Daniels: “What, first, Debbie, was it that attracted you to the multi-millionaire Paul Daniels?” This question now needs to be asked of a certain Labour peer and his relationship with the croaked Labour donor Robert Maxwell’s deviant daughter and her since croaked ex-lover Jeffrey Epstein.
Mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s wannabe mouthpiece Jay Beecher barks, well whimpers, to ‘The Steeple Times’ on behalf of the convicted criminal sex offender
Jay Beecher has long been an attention seeking arse-licker and with his latest missive to The Steeple Times, received at 7:37am this morning, he’s yet again proved himself as nothing but a soppy sap.
First, in the mid 2010s, this noxious nitwit – whose only known limited company was curiously dissolved in March 2021 – turned his attention to UKIP. Then, when he was suspended by that ragbag of rotters for “using his time to attack people in his party rather than to build up support,” in September 2016, he hotfooted it over to the Tories – a party that clearly didn’t bother to do any due diligence.
Subsequently fined for driving whilst disqualified, driving with no insurance and having no MOT on his car whilst standing as a Conservative candidate in a by-election for Peterborough Council in June 2017, Beecher didn’t make any kind of apology. Instead, he pathetically blubbed: “This is a personal matter. It was a misunderstanding. It won’t affect me going forward.” That day, the violins most definitely played.
In a somewhat sloppy and slovenly style, this vexatious and vain individual was able to share content on Politicalite that included not only praising a statement by Waters as “strong” and “nail-on-the-head” in her approach, but it is where also he started banging on about grooming and voter fraud. In calling anyone he didn’t like “absolute morons, lol [sic]” there, he also illustrated that literary genius most definitely emanates from his self-proclaimed “investigative journalist’s” somewhat addled mind.
Apparently, things haven’t worked out well for Politicalite – whose homepage has now been reduced to putting out clearly paid for ‘features’ on behalf of Heart Bingo and claims about being “silenced” rather than sharing anything political – and so, in recent months, Beecher moved his energies towards trying to become a mini-me of PR peddler Brian Basham and established another website. He hasn’t achieved anything close to one per cent of the man known only for his involvement in ‘Dirty Tricks’ thus far in column inches as part of this bonkers endeavour.
On the especially amateurishly presented The Maxwell Files, Beecher has offered up total claptrap about the case of the incarcerated sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and sought to share information damaging about victims this clearly evil woman has now been convincingly convicted of abusing. He does so without merit and, as ever is the case with this wretched piece of toerag, yet again shows himself as desperate to elevate himself to a position in the public eye. Now, today, though he’s blocked us on Twitter in true Cowardy Custard fashion, he this morning sent through a missive. In it, this clear wack job whinged:
“A false statement to claim people ‘haven’t heard a word from me’ since the verdict – I’ve been speaking about it, tweeting about it, and writing about it every day, and have been mentioned in the Daily Mirror and others. As too have the others you mention. But one can’t expect anything less than demonstrable lies to be printed on blog site The Steeple Times.”
Continuing, lonesome lunatic Beecher finished:
“This website is hilarious – a blog written by a creepy bloke whom no-one has heard of, who works with conspiracy numpty Shaun Attwood (recently exposed as having promoted lies about the Epstein case), and whose vocabulary is so limited he regurgitates lines such as ‘mucky madam’ a million times; each time no doubt chortling to himself alone in his grimy flat as he punches each letter into his sticky keyboard.”
“The fact that this website’s disclaimer clearly states that it prints ‘fake news,’ just adds to the hilarity, and the irrelevance of its non-entity owner.”
Whilst clearly penned by a pugnacious person whose brain has obviously been tossed around in a wok ten times too many, it might do Jay Beecher well to focus on another matter outstanding – that of the libel case brought against him by the esteemed writer of Waking the Dead and co-founder of Byline TimesPeter Jukes.
A crowdfunder supporting Mr Jukes – a decent and principled gent disgracefully defamed in Politicalite and elsewhere online in June 2021 – has already raised nearly £57,000 in pledges. Today, again, we remind readers of The Steeple Times to support this effort to root out the cancerous poison spread by the likes of Jay Beecher and today we call out him and others supporting the deviant daughter of the pension pot plundering murderer Robert Maxwell.
Pictured top – In November 2020, Jay Beecher shared a photo of himself “minglin’” with the “ultimate neighbour from hell” Priti Patel on Twitter. One of his ‘fans’ responded: “Gorgeous couple.” It’s no wonder they get on given the “neighbour from hell” Home Secretary likes “snitchin’ and bullyin’” just like him.
In September 2016, Jay Beecher – a prattling pillock who blocks anyone who dares call him out on Twitter – issued what he called a “long statement” – take that to mean a pyramid of piffle and a deluge of drivel – about his “great party” UKIP had become a “mates club” controlled by the likes of Arron Banks (“who use our party as his plaything”). He claimed “poisonous elements” were trying to destroy the ragbag “from within” and subsequently a spokesman for the party stated: “Mr Beecher has been suspended after repeatedly making deliberate and demonstratively false allegations against other members of the party, and doing so to various media outlets.” Now, after trying all manner of other avenues as part of his fame seeking, he’s latched himself onto the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s now also convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell. Talk about desperate; talk about pathetic and you’ll most certainly have to talk about Jay Beecher.‘Politicalite’ – a warped organ for which Jay Beecher penned a series of drivel between 2018 and 2021 – announced on the 16th December that it was “taking an extended break due to personal family reasons and will be back in the New Year.” On the 30th December, after sharing a clearly paid for “don’t miss” puff piece about Heart Bingo and how bingo is “trendy” and “getting bigger” on Boxing Day – without labelling it as such – the online rag’s founder Jordan James announced: “Politicalite is back in January 2022 and promises in-depth investigations, big exclusives, entertainment exclusives and big stories that matter from across the UK, including a very ‘BIG’ surprise.”Author, screenwriter, playwright and journalist Peter Jukes has attracted huge support for a crowdfunder to support his libel action against others Jay Beecher. We urge readers to join those who’ve back it already.
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?”
Matthew Steeples calls out those who’ve tried to excuse “murky” Ghislaine Maxwell – most especially ‘journalists’ Sarah Vine and Rachel Johnson – and lauds those who’ve joined him in demanding the mucky madam no longer be called a “socialite”
Some of those who came out ‘in support’ or at least ‘in sympathy’ for Ghislaine Maxwell prior to her having been confirmed last week as nothing but a “convicted sex offender,” have unsurprisingly gone quiet. Others, including allegedly even her own husband Scott Borgerson, it seems, have unceremoniously ditched her.
Of these peoples’ views of croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time lover, one or two have rather conveniently changed their minds and then there’s the case of two Tory tattling Daily Mail hacks – Rachel Johnson and Sarah Vine.
On 14th November, Vine – the soon ex-wife-to-be of the “loose cannon, nutter” Labour to Tory transplant The Rt. Hon. Michael Gove MP – penned a column in which she banged on about how “Maxwell [was] not a live threat to others” and claimed she needed to “be treated with respect and humanity.” She showed her sympathy for this wicked woman’s plight and in doing so belittled the mucky madam’s victims.
Now, today, Vine has returned to the topic and – whilst avoiding taking stance on what punishment should be given out – noted: “It’s not the obvious Freudian aspects of Ghislaine’s life that I find most interesting. It’s what her trial tells us about the world in which we once lived – and the one in which we live today.”
Peddling herself as some kind of expert on high society in spite of having no known connection with such a world, comprehensive school educated Vine – a woman once mocked by fellow Tory MP wife Sophie Swire as laughably lowbrow and “lumbered with cooking all the food” whilst “bending over backwards to please the Camerons” – continued:
“Quite simply, it wasn’t just Ghislaine who was on trial in that New York courtroom, but an entire culture. A culture where wealth, privilege and power gave people permission to do whatever to whomever whenever they wanted, without fear of consequences… A culture that, when all is said and done, was rotten to the core.”
Turning to another topic, that of Brigitte Macron being outed as potentially transgender, Vine again brought up Maxwell and pointedly began with the words: “Madame Macron’s real murky past…” She concluded: “What does disturb me, especially in the light of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, is the idea that [Macron] allegedly seduced her future husband when he was just 15 and she 39.”
In using the word “murky” of a lady subjected to what are apparently completely untrue rumours, vexatiously vicious Vine has yet again shown herself as someone who likes to have a pop at clearly wronged people like Madame Macron whilst excusing someone genuinely “murky” like Ghislaine Maxwell. It does her no favours and is yet again proof that it is time for this supporter of the reintroduction of the death penalty to be sent off to journalistic Siberia. Her ice cold manner might actually go down a bit there, after all.
Known for her especially vicious tongue, Sarah Vine (pictured here with her now estranged husband, Michael Gove) doesn’t like “the persistent bile and vitriol aimed at MPs across various social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter [as it] eggs on sick individuals, encouraging and – perhaps most importantly – [enabling] abusive and dangerous behaviour.” Today, she didn’t offer similar sympathy to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator, but instead banged on about high society and how its changing – a topic she clearly has no qualification to offer any kind of opinion on.Though Sarah Vine called for the reintroduction of the death penalty in November 2021, she doesn’t seem to want to commit to supporting any kind of punishment for Ghislaine Maxwell; instead, today, she prefers to pick on Brigitte Macron and bring up a clearly ‘fake news’ story that ludicrously alleges that the French President’s wife is transgender. Shame on this preposterous, poisonous pen of clearly warped mind once described as having “the moral sure-footedness of an alleycat on a trampoline.”Rachel Johnson (pictured with her brother Prime Minister Boris Johnson) is well known for being ridiculous and perhaps a little beyond bonkers. Her writing style has been described as “chummy burbling” and her gaffes have included “joking” that Rupert Murdoch told her brother to “kill” the BBC. Of that the fool later wrote: “Sorry to disappoint but Rupert Murdoch NEVER told the PM to get rid of the BBC as I am quoted as saying in today’s ‘Daily Mail.’ It never happened. Joke taken out of context. Totally my fault for agreeing to say ‘a few words’ about the future of the media. Apols to all who got excited.”
Remaining remarkably quiet on the other hand at this time, Boris Johnson’s sister and sometime colleague of Sarah Vine at the Daily Mail, Rachel, has yet to come out with her thoughts on the verdict and victims in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
Known for having more front than Harrods and a megaphone in place of a mouth, Ms. Johnson ludicrously expressed “pity” for Ghislaine Maxwell in The Spectator in November.
At the time, she went all “jolly hockey sticks” and was slammed after stating:
“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.”
Now, unsurprisingly, with only the prospect perhaps of an invite to Miss Maxwell’s penitentiary facility rather than a society party, Ms. Johnson will now have to go the same way as she did after calling the Duchess of Sussex “exotic.” Apologising for that particular gaffe, the journalist admitted in January 2018: “It didn’t go down well and I hereby apologise Harry” and now, we call on her to do the same to the victims of the convicted criminal Ghislaine Maxwell.
Elsewhere, in an opinion piece in today’s The Guardian, Joan Smith was one columnist, however, who got it right when she echoed my own sentiments – expressed on Thursday in an article titled: “Ghislaine Maxwell – From ‘Seasoned Socialite’ to ‘Sordid Sex Trafficker’” – and stated: “Let’s call Ghislaine Maxwell what she is – a sex trafficker, not a socialite.”
Going further, Smith summed up this wicked woman perfectly in three paragraphs. Of the deviant daughter of ‘The Bouncing Czech,’ she remarked:
“Predators have a sixth sense when it comes to choosing co-conspirators. Maxwell was a grown woman when she met Epstein… It must have occurred to Maxwell by now that the two men she put absolute faith in, her father and her ex-lover, both left her to face the music after their apparent suicides. And for what?”
“The columnist Barbara Amiel, who is married to the former newspaper magnate Conrad Black, recalls a conversation that shows Maxwell in an unexpected and highly unflattering light. ‘I bet I’m in charge of more lavatories and bathrooms than you are,’ Maxwell suddenly said as the two women were walking along a beach. While Amiel thought about it, Maxwell reminded her to include those on planes. ‘Thirty-nine,’ said Amiel and Maxwell’s face lit up. ‘I win,’ she exclaimed.”
“Questions about Maxwell’s relationship with Epstein have now been cleared up. She procured girls for him and it speaks volumes about her moral compass, or lack of it, that she evidently cared more about the number of lavatories in his mansions than the vulnerable teenagers she exposed to sexual assault and rape.”
