So, Prince Andrew, You’ve Been Publicly Shamed

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.

Windbag Writer Defends Windbag Ball & Cat Kicker

“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.

Karren Brady – another defender of cat abuser Kurt Zouma – got elevated to the House of Lords by her guffawing chum David Cameron in spite of claiming to “have no interest in politics.” She also likes bumping fists with Carrie Johnson’s puppet, Boris.

“Very Unkind” Rachel Johnson’s Most Ridiculous Remarks

Aside from once rightly suggesting her brother, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, uses the despatch box of the House of Commons as a “bully pulpit” and once condemned some of his speeches as “highly reprehensible,” journalist Rachel Johnson often gets rather carred away. Amongst her odd most ridiculous remarks are:

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 9^th 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.”

Emperor Misinformation – “Let Them Eat Cheese”

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.”

Johnson responded by commending the police officers for their actions, but did not take any responsibility for his words in spite of them having been praised by several far-right extremist organisations including the English Defence League and the Traditional Britain Group. On Tuesday, a minister confirmed that Johnson wouldn’t apologise.

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.

Carrie Antoinette, The Cardinal & The Binned Abba Dancing Spad

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 38^th 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.”

Andrew Pierce:

“The leader of the Carrie clique at No. 10.”

“The leader of the liberal camp in No. 10.”

Follow Henry Newman on his now somewhat secretive social media (if he lets you) at @henryjohnnewman on Facebook, @henryjohnnewman on Instagram and @HenryNewman on Twitter.

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.

Called Out ‘Court Of Carrie’ Crashes

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.

Word of the Week 2022 – Psittacism & Partygate

‘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’

Like the perfectly predictable pillocks that they are, in genuinely grubby parrot-fashion-style, Boris Johnson’s ministers have been reeled out to defend him and his wife’s clearly illegal parties during lockdown last year.

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 (19^th century): the meaningless or mechanical repetition of words. From the Latin psittacus, parrot.”

As she did last November in sharing the 16^th 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.’

https://twitter.com/susie_dent/status/1488466014740393987?s=11

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hdk_rXkkx8

Nadine Dorries has understandably been labelled the ‘Fool of the Week’ for her behaviour on Monday evening after the Prime Minister’s appalling performance in the House of Commons earlier that day. Here is a woman who previously claimed David Cameron and George Osborne “didn’t know the price of milk,” who also cannot see that it is now her that is totally out of touch with the national mood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG7r1uLwLw8

Boris Johnson thinks himself clever when it comes to his use of the English language. Like his equally arrogant and totally vapid sister, Rachel – a woman who showed her true colours last November in announcing that: “It’s hard not to feel a batsqueak of pity for Ghislaine Maxwell” in ‘The Spectator’ in November and added of the since convicted sex offender: “I intersected briefly with her at Oxford. As a fresher I wandered into Balliol JCR one day in search of its subsidised breakfast granola-and-Nescafé offering and found a shiny glamazon with naughty eyes holding court astride a table, a high-heeled boot resting on my brother Boris’s thigh” – this Prime Minister attempts to bamboozle the public with such nonsense as “total rhubarb” as he believes himself to be intellectually superior to them.

Carrie NOT On Regardless – Is The PM’s Wife About To Be Thrown Under The Bus?

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 13^th 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.”

‘Carrie On Regardless’ – a woman whose past associations with individuals connected to the far-right Traditional Britain Group and a charity supported by the now convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell highlight her pathetically poor judgment – may now well come to find that her arrogant antics come back to haunt her. Soon, perhaps, Mrs Johnson might find that she’ll now have to ‘Not Carrie On Regardless’ and could perhaps go the same way as her self-serving husband’s other thrown-by-the-wayside sexual conquests.

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.

Who Exactly Does The Metropolitan Police Work For, Ma’am?
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.

Moron of the Moment 2022 – The Rt. Hon. Nadine Dorries MP

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.

Nationalistic Nonsense – National Anthem & GB News

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 National Anthem – As described on The Royal Family’s Website

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 16^th 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.
