What, first, Peter Mandelson, was it that attracted you to the multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein?

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 20^th 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 27^th 2005, Peter Mandelson took part in a shopping trip with Jeffrey Epstein in Saint Barthélemys (photos published by the Daily Mail on August 30^th 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 30^th 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 20^th, 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.

Beecher ‘Barks’ (Well, Actually ‘Whimpers’) Back

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.

Continuing the theme of associating with failure and freaks, Beecher sidled further to the right next by getting himself involved with Politicalite – a much derided website that has published the works of the far-right, anti-Islam leader of For Britain and associate of convicted criminal Tommy Robinson, Anne Marie Waters.

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 Times Peter 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.

Dame Cressida Dick – Four Lives & Nine Lives

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.

‘Four Lives’ continues on BBC One tonight at 9pm and all three episodes are available now on iPlayer.

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 25^th 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?”

Murky Maxwell, Vexatious Vine, & Rabid Rachel

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 14^th 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.”

The Power Play of Maxwell & Nathan
As “monster mover” Ghislaine Maxwell claims to be too frail to testify at her trial and gets a rejection over having her witnesses testify under pseudonyms, the judge in the case pops off to Washington to plan her own future after a nomination from President Biden; a true power play is now underway

On Wednesday, Judge Alison J. Nathan “paused from the trial [of Ghislaine Maxwell] for a trip to Washington, where she faced questions of a different sort” according to Benjamin Weiser of The New York Times.

Now nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by President Biden, Judge Nathan “was grilled at her confirmation hearing by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The questions came mostly from Republicans, who asked about her views on guns rights, capital punishment, compassionate release requests by felons during the pandemic, as well as her past writings and legal advocacy.”

Echoing her earlier approach of keeping alleged mucky madam Maxwell’s ‘little black book’ to remain secret to “avoid ‘needless’ namedropping,” Judge Nathan, when asked by Senator Mike Lee, a Republican of Utah: “Should illegal immigrants be allowed to cast votes in state and local elections?” answered: “That’s a policy question that would be inappropriate for me, as a sitting court judge or a nominee to the Second Circuit, to weigh in on.”

Clearly a lady on a mission to progress her career after ‘The Trial Of The Decade’ ends, the judge was then asked: “Do you think America is mostly good or mostly bad?” by Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana.

The New York Times reported on her clearly strategically motivated answer:

“She answered by describing a walk she took on Tuesday with her sons to the Supreme Court, where she once had been a law clerk, and of seeing the inscription engraved above the entrance, ‘Equal Justice Under Law… I’m proud to be a part of this American judicial system,’ Judge Nathan said.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Mr. Kennedy said. “But do you think America is mostly good or mostly bad?’ ’America is mostly good, Senator,’ she replied.”

Returning to her New York courtroom on Thursday, Judge Nathan rejected Miss Maxwell’s attempts to have some government defence witnesses testify under pseudonyms or partial names. In doing so, she quite rightly drew a clear distinction between the need to protect the identities of alleged crime victims and the privacy concerns of ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter’s friends and cronies.

Though many are questioning many of the strange things going on at this trial, one can now only hope that the concept that nobody – however powerful they may or may not be – should be allowed to be above the law… And that must include Ghislaine Maxwell and those supporting her.

Pictured top – A protestor outside the New York court where Ghislaine Maxwell is on trial with a placard reading: ‘Media Silent’ on Thursday; 49-yeard-old Judge Alison J. Nathan with Chuck Schumer, the senate majority leader, during a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday.

A power play between a powerful woman of the past and a powerful woman of the future – Ghislaine Maxwell and Judge Alison J. Nathan are two well connected individuals who’ve been brought together in the oddest and most seedy of circumstances. Whether the former will actually take to the stand during her trial remains to be seen, but such a course of action appears more and more unlikely.

The case against Ghislaine Maxwell

The late ‘Cap’n Bob’s’ deviant daughter is on trial in a power play before Judge Nathan on counts of:
- Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
- Enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
- Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
- Transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
- Sex trafficking conspiracy.
- Sex trafficking of a minor.
- Lying under oath.

A seriously sick set of power players – Alleged victim of sexual abuse by her own father turned alleged sex trafficker and sexual abuser of other women Ghislaine Maxwell flashing her cleavage at the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the since incarcerated fellow alleged sexual abuser Jean-Luc Brunel.

Though Ghislaine Maxwell will be “unlikely” to testify at her own trial – and remarked in November: “I am weak, I am frail. I have no stamina. I am tired. I don’t even have shoes which fit properly. They feed me rotten food. One apple had maggots in it. I have not been allowed to exercise. In my most recent court appearance, I was in leg irons for more than 12 hours and had to climb up and down stairs with my arms and legs shackled to my waist. My ankles are raw. I was given a pat-down so aggressive and violent, my underwear found itself in a place it doesn’t belong. The first underwear they gave me were enormous granny pants. You could have put five of me in them. I’ll spare you descriptions of the stains” – she clearly has contradicted herself with her somewhat bizarre “screen-siren-like” antics in the courtroom whilst clad in expensive cashmere and the statement: “I play peek-a-boo, hiding behind pillars and the guards join in. There are always smiles all round. Then I have a ‘monster move’ where I raise my hands and growl and they do it back. We laugh.” Here is a woman with exactly the same deviant streak as her pension pot plundering, murderer father, Robert.

Incompetent and “obstructive” Dame Cressida Dick needs to be ditched by the Metropolitan Police after murder victim Daniel Morgan’s family drags her into a civil case

Metropolitan Police commissioner Dame Cressida Dick DBE, QPM is a woman who – in spite of being hopelessly inept and who an official inquiry found to have obstructed the panel appointed by the government to investigate claims that corruption blighted the hunt for Daniel Morgan’s killers in June this year – shockingly clings on to her position like a rat on a sinking ship.

A woman clearly unsuited to remain in her job, Dame Cressida, The Guardian this morning reported is now set to be dragged into a civil claim by the Morgan family.

Speaking to the paper, the family’s solicitor, Raju Bhatt, said:

“The claim alleges deliberate abuse or bad faith in the exercise of powers by any officer of the crown with knowledge or reckless indifference to the consequences of such conduct.”

“The repeated failure over decades to confront … corruption includes the obstruction of the independent panel’s work and the response of the Met to that panel’s findings.”

Going further, in a statement, the Morgan family added:

“The present commissioner, Cressida Dick, felt able to simply reject the panel’s key finding of institutional corruption within the Metropolitan police. Her role in obstructing the panel’s work – as detailed in their report – appears to have met with indifference and worse at the IOPC and Mopac where those charged with bringing her to answer for her role in this sorry state of affairs have shown themselves unable or unwilling to do so.”

“And, in their wisdom, the home secretary and the London mayor deemed it fit to extend her term in office before the ink had dried on the panel’s report.”

“We consider we have been left with no option but to bring a civil claim against the Metropolitan police in order to achieve some semblance of accountability. To that end, our solicitors have sent a letter of claim to the Metropolitan police directorate of legal services, and we await their response with interest.”

Dame Cressida has been deservedly criticised over the botched the Metropolitan Police’s handling over investigations into child sex abuse, their fruitless £30 million investigation into the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan (pictured left) and her force’s handling over the use of stop and search of those of black and other ethnic minority backgrounds.

Instead of having focused on putting right the multiple errors she has presided over and solving the criminal crises of London, Dame Cressida ludicrously moaned about being “absolutely outraged” by the BBC’s Line of Duty drama series just a month after being deservedly slammed.

At the time, The Steeple Times remarked of a woman schooled alongside currently incarcerated and on trial in America Ghislaine Maxwell:

“In September last year, when we revealed that an escaped prisoner couldn’t get himself arrested in spite of handing himself in to the Met Police on seven, yes SEVEN occasions, we remarked “it’s long been known that Dame Cressida couldn’t police a pissup in a brewery,” but in the time since things have gotten worse at the force headed by this totally inept and clearly inane waste of space.”

“Aside from having been in charge of the operation in which a totally innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes, was shot dead due to gross incompetence on the part of her officers in 2005 and given what The Sun termed “feeble” responses to “lawless protests by Extinction Rebellion and others,” the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis’ response to the conviction of one of her own officers has been utterly showing of the fact that she truly isn’t fit for purpose.”

“Armed officer Wayne Couzens – who was indicatively nicknamed by colleagues at The Met ‘The Rapist’ yet nothing was done about him – has now pleaded guilty to the murder of Sarah Everard in March. How did his boss respond? With what The Sun quite rightly called out as “vapid assurances [that] lessons [have] been learned across the board.” Going further they remarked: “The people to blame for this predator being on the streets should be held to account,” whilst we add: SHAME ON HER.”

In 2018, this ludicrous woman blamed rising crime in London on social media rather than a lack of proper policing. She told Fiona Hamilton and Rachel Sylvester of ‘The Times’: “There’s definitely something about the impact of social media in terms of people being able to go from slightly angry with each other to ‘fight’ very quickly… It [social media] makes it harder for people to cool down. I’m sure it does rev people up.”

The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has been slammed repeatedly by Londoners. Her reputation lies in tatters and it is time she just quit.

The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis’ decision to refuse to stand down over police handling of a vigil for the late marketing executive Sarah Everard – murdered in cold blood by one of her very own officers – provided proof of her arrogance. “No, I’m not considering my position,” she curtly commented.

After the shooting of the entirely innocent Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005 by her officers, Dame Cressida did anything but take responsibility. She remarked of it: “The events of that day stay with one; I think about it quite often. It was a traumatic period. It was an awful time for so many people, obviously and most of all Jean Charles’s family, the people who were there when it happened, the firearms officers, the surveillance officers.” In response, de Menezes family called for her to be brought to book and quite justifiably later opposed her subsequent promotion.

Summing up how out-of-touch with reality she truly is, Dame Cressida stated of her force: “We’re not institutionally corrupt.” Her comments came after the failed £30 million investigation into the murder of Daniel Morgan was quite rightly condemned due to those involved most definitely being aided and abetted by corrupt Metropolitan Police officers. It is now time for her to consider her position and RESIGN.

A Pair of Privileged Pillocks – Lord Rothermere and Lady Victoria Hervey
As Lord Rothermere shows desperation in his bid to take the Daily Mail and General Trust private, he trips up by giving promotional pages to privileged pillocks like Lady Victoria Hervey

Very, very, very rich aristocrat Jonathan Harmsworth, The Right Honourable The 4^th Viscount Rothermere – a tycoon struggling to buy back shares in his very own company in spite of upping his offer from 251p a share to 270p last week – clearly isn’t having the best of times of late.

Instead of trying to appeal to shareholders by focusing on his organisation’s undoubted strengths as a media giant this weekend, Lord Rothermere did nothing to stop Martin Clarke – the “chief architect of the MailOnline” and the creator of his paper’s clearly “best bit,” its ‘Sidebar of Shame’ – announcing he will be “stepping down and will leave next year.” How on earth could any sensible media conglomerate chairman allow such a key lieutenant to leave – especially at this time?

In failing to intervene, the Harmsworth family vehicle, Rothermere Continuation Limited, gave an ‘up-yours’ to those very same shareholders and instead told them Friday that their last offer was also “its final offer and would not be increased.” One is left asking in response: “Has Johnny Rothermere actually lost his marbles?”

Making matters worse and showing that they would rather focus on sensationalising trashbags of their own class than actually selling newspapers, Lord Rothermere clearly didn’t intervene when a rehashed article about the ultimate ‘TwIt Girl’ Lady Hervey – a washed-up wastrel, fellow aristocrat whom disgustingly stated: “F*ck BLM” in 2020 – was published on Saturday night.

In a pointless piece by self-declared on Twitter “scary bitch” Lydia Spencer-Elliott for MailOnline, Lady Victoria was ludicrously lauded as “never [failing] to wow with her phenomenal toned figure” in spite of the fact that this “former socialite” looked like something dragged in off a trawler boat after a storm.

Going further of a person she ridiculously described as looking “flawless as she caught some rays” in Miami, Spencer-Elliott cringeworthily crowed: “The blonde beauty forewent sunglasses and shielded her eyes with her hand as her tresses bounced around her shoulders in glamorous curls. Lady Victoria’s skimpy swimwear featured stylish zip details at the hips and emphasised her assets with its colourful panelling.” Who actually wrote this? Her pointless PR prattler?

The so-called journalist Spencer-Elliott, however, neglected to bother with any actual journalism and said nothing of Lady Victoria’s bizarre remarks about her “friendship” with “full of life” Ghislaine Maxwell and nothing about her disgustingly boasting about being taught how to give blowjobs at Jeffrey Epstein’s house.

Come on Lord Rothermere – If, after ridding yourself of Miss Maxwell’s friend and former Daily Mail editor Geordie Greig amongst others, you want to take your empire to another level, actually employ people some people capable of writing something relevant.

Lady Victoria Hervey is ALWAYS capable of making a fool of herself, but her remarks about her alleged mucky madam ‘friend’ Ghislaine Maxwell really have made an utter berk of her.

The ‘aristoprat’ has also tripped herself up previously in uttering kindly words about the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. After readfing them, one is left asking: “Is this halfwit on acid?”

The strategy of the 4th Viscount Rothermere (pictured with his garden gentrification loving wife Claudia) to take the DMGT private doesn’t quite seem to be going to plan. Allowing his staff to pen articles about annoying ‘aristoprats’ certainly won’t be endearing to shareholders, however.

Ghislaine Maxwell gyrating with mate since the early 2000s Geordie Greig behind her. In September 2018, Eton and Oxford educated Greig became editor of the ‘Daily Mail’ and stories published in support of those he knows are often described as having been ‘FOGged’ (‘Friend of Geordie-ed’). He is amongst the many who didn’t surive the latest cull at the DMGT.

‘MailOnline’ journalist Lydia Spencer-Elliott didn’t exactly produce prize winning journalism with her article about the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol this weekend. Her descriptions of this pillock were frankly nothing other than laughable.

Classic clangers from privileged pillock and former ‘It Girl’ Lady Victoria Hervey

Described by the by-contrast lovely, late fellow ‘It Girl’ Tara Palmer-Tomkinson as “unpleasant” and “a right snob,” here is a woman who has come out with some of the most stupid statements ever. They include:
- “I am Lady Victoria Hervey – it doesn’t get more British than that.”
- “I don’t want to make enemies.”
- “Fuck BLM [Black Lives Matter].”
- “I’m not going to lie, I never wear [a face mask]… I storm out of any shop [that asks me to put one on].”
- “[I used to sell PPE at the start of the pandemic]… But I did a little pivot [and stopped]… I was selling it to hospitals, not to people out walking their dogs or shopping.”
- “[Asked: ‘Would you ever take the Covid vaccine?’]… No way! It’s a personal thing, and my mother’s had hers, but at my age I really believe in natural immunity.”
- “Unless it’s champagne, I can’t handle it.”
- “I’m an A-list celebrity and this is a C-list party.”
- “I do have a day job.”
- “My career always goes much better when I haven’t got a man.”
- “A baby is easy – you hand them over to a nanny!”
- “I’m kind of into star signs and I want my baby to have a sign that’s compatible with mine. It’s to plan though… We’ll just have to see… We’ll do the embryos and then I’ll figure out which month I’d like the baby to be born.”
- “[Of having six of her eggs frozen at a cost of £11,000]: I had a friend who was going to be my sperm donor. He was going to be involved in my child’s life, but as a friend, not a partner. And I was supposed to be pregnant now. But then Covid happened, which was a big blow, but looking back I’m really grateful I didn’t do it with that person.”
- ‘He just wasn’t right
- “I’m not stupid. I’m not a dumb model.”
- “[I aim to become] the next Kate Winslet – but with class.”
- “I have had four past lives, three of them as a man. I was a composer in 17th-century Paris, I made materials in India and in Ancient Greece I was a famous politician. In Ancient Egypt I was keeper of the oils for the Pharaoh’s wife, and I love oils so it all kind of fits.”
- “I feel I’ve aged 100 years in lockdown. I’ve had Botox, of course.”
- “What annoys me is when these families have got like 12 children and we’re paying for these kids… They work out that they make more money being on the dole than having a job, they just laze around.”
- “The real irony of this is that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.”
- “Travelling is in my blood, and so is liking luxurious things and spending.”
- “I haven’t given up on men, there are a few of them around, but I keep leaving every city I meet them in.”
- “Everyone from Europe wants to buy houses in LA.”
- “I was too old for Jeffrey Epstein… [He seemed] very charming… He was a very well-liked guy.”
- “I’m not one of those kind of girls, I don’t like going to dinners with ten models invited… I was very young and impressionable, Jeffrey was a very charismatic man.”
- “I haven’t seen [Ghislaine Maxwell] since September [2018] at a friend’s baby shower… I don’t think anyone is going to find her. She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.”
- “I had no idea what was going on [with Jeffrey Epstein]… It’s extraordinary it’s the case, it’s a wild story.”
- “I suddenly thought, I’m just Victoria Hervey… Horrible.”
Responses to supposedly 44-year-old privileged pillock Lady Victoria’s latest comments from ‘MailOnline’ readers
- “How is this woman always 44 years old? … She’s at least 54 years old… She has been 44 for the past 20 years… 44? She’s at least 49… 44 + VAT… 44? And the rest!”
- “Who writes this rubbish? … Yawn… Every flippin’ cliché in the book.”
- “Oh no, it’s her again… Scurvy Hervey, the sailor’s call her. Below decks, she smells like Portsmouth at low tide, they say, and she’s been plumbed more often than Kentish Knock. Stay away boys, stay away.”
- “Been round the block more than a New York cab.”
- “Not ageing well… Skeletal… Knees don’t lie… Awful figure, looks like my ironing board.”
- “Gormless… Deluded old nobody… What the hell does this pointless woman do?”
- “Absolutely stuck up her own behind.”
- “Starting to think she is a bloke… I thought he’d transitioned? … That’s some lunchbox. Is she a he?”
- “This is the type of woman that would drive Macron wild.”
- “Please seek urgent medical help.”
- “Plank of wood springs to mind.”
- “No wonder she’s alone and childless… She’s got the body of a scrawny old woman.”
- “This article never recovered from the blatant lie in the very first sentence. It went downhill from there… Much like Hervey’s ‘toned figure.’ What a pointless joke article, with the text recycled almost verbatim from the last advert for her swimwear range.”
- “A life on earth with no reason. She would have been eaten and regurgitated in the wild.”
- “She always seems to be alone… Mel B disagrees.”
- “Bone idle woman. Doesn’t know what work is… Idle rich… Get a job you sponger… Has she ever worked a day in her pointless life?”
- “She ain’t no lady.”
