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

    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.

     

    Met Police Twitter
    Twitter users universally condemned the nation’s premier police force as incompetent and rightly pointed out that there is “zero public confidence in it.”
    Partygate
    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 Dick Priti Patel Boris Johnson Daniel Morgan
    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

    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!

     

    Twitter 1
    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?
    Nadine Dorries
    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.
    Nadine Dorries anus
    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 2
    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.
    Twitter 3
    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.”
    David Mellor
    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.
  • Costly Cox

    Costly Cox

    Costly jetsetting £3,000 per hour Tory MP Sir Geoffrey Cox QC needs to resign if the Conservative Party wants a chance of clearing up the stench of sleaze

    Though clearly an intelligent man in many ways, Cambridge educated The Right Honourable Sir Geoffrey Cox QC MP is clearly someone completely out of touch with the struggles of those he is meant to represent in his Torridge and West Devon constituency.

     

    Aside from having pocketed an astonishing £6 million from legal work since becoming a Member of Parliament in 2005 on top of his basic £82,000 annual salary for that job (£1.3 million for the 16-year period excluding an extravgant expense allowance added on top), costly Sir Geoffrey, the Mirror this morning revealed, outrageously put in a claim for £1,500 for “seven round trips to London in three months last year when he only voted in person on three days.”

     

    Earlier this week on Twitter, Dr Mike Galsworthy shared: “Geoffrey Cox claimed £1,048.95 from taxpayers on expenses last year for an iPad and tablet accessories ‘to enable effective working while travelling” and for “remote working… All whilst illegally breaking travel bans to line his pockets. Another Tory exploiting the pandemic.”
    A poster stating: “Missing: The Right Honourable Geoffrey Cox QC, MP. Has anybody seen Geoffrey lately?”

    Like the shameless malverser and now ex-MP Owen Paterson, it is clear that Sir Geoffrey Cox’s priorities are not his constituents but instead feathering his very own nest. Here is a man who – though clearly not having broken any rule currently in place it thus far seems – is lacking in common sense and the ability to see that his position is now completely untenable.

     

    Aside from The Guardian referencing how Sir Geoffrey – who is somewhat ironically presently topping-up his tan in the offshore tax haven of Mauritius – spent much of April, May and June in the sun-drenched British Virgin Islands at a luxury £5,300 per week villa, this morning, the Mirror’s Christine Griffin decided to ask his constituents in far bleaker Devon their views about their MP living-it-up with the jetset.

     

    Their responses were clear and amongst them a Tavistock Foodbank volunteer named Brian Eales declared:

     

    “I’ve never seen Geoffrey Cox at the foodbank in support… He’s not been seen recently in the office he’s got in Tavistock.”

     

    “We don’t know what he does with his money do we. I’d like to think that with the sort of money he’s earning he’s making good use of, but he’s not. That’s a different kettle of fish.”

     

    “I’ve voted Conservative before but at the moment I wouldn’t vote for them, no. I’d be interested to find out what he is doing with the money. At the moment it seems to be all ‘self,’ feathering his own nest shall we call it?’”

     

    Going further of the globetrotting Conservative grandee, another foodbank volunteer constituent, Suzanne Weston raged:

     

    “What [Sir Geoffrey Cox is] doing is disgusting, absolutely outrageous and he’s supposedly our MP.”

     

    “He’s earning enough money as it is, and with the best will in the world nobody can do two full-time jobs at once. He can’t be putting his constituency work first while he’s over in the Caribbean, when we’re all having to be careful over here.”

     

    “If I was in the awful position of having to come to the foodbank, I would be so hurt that someone in his position was not being more empathic towards my situation, just through his practical actions.”

     

    Yesterday, the iPaper’s David Parsley reported on having visited Sir Geoffrey Cox’s constituency’s Conservative Club this week. “He’s too posh for us here,” a female member of the club told him, whilst another added: “To be honest my friend, he doesn’t need to show his face round here. A Dartmoor pony could get elected for the Tories here. That would probably make more of an effort to meet the locals too.”

     

    Seeking to defend himself on his very own website, Sir Geoffrey – who took 60.1% of the vote in his constituency in 2019 and whom currently has a majority of 24,992 votes over his Liberal Democrat rival – this week arrogantly declared:

     

    “Sir Geoffrey Cox has practised as a Queen’s Counsel in the courts since well before his election in 2005. He is a leading barrister in England and makes no secret of his professional activities.”

     

    “Sir Geoffrey regularly works 70-hour weeks and always ensures that his casework on behalf of his constituents is given primary importance and fully carried out. Throughout this period, he continued to have online meetings with organisations, businesses and individuals within the constituency and it made no difference where he was for that purpose since it was not practicable or desirable at that time to meet face to face. As to the use of the proxy, prior to his visit to the BVI, he consulted the Chief Whip specifically on this issue and was advised that it was appropriate.”

     

    “Sir Geoffrey’s view is that it is up to the electors of Torridge and West Devon whether or not they vote for someone who is a senior and distinguished professional in his field and who still practices that profession. That has been the consistent view of the local Conservative Association and although at every election his political opponents have sought to make a prominent issue of his professional practice, it has so far been the consistent view of the voters of Torridge and West Devon. Sir Geoffrey is very content to abide by their decision.”

     

    This notorious for his “booming voice” £3,000 per hour man’s arrogance is telling and now it is simply time for Sir Geoffrey Cox to leave public office and return to personally profiting in private.

     

    Cooper Bay BVI villa 3
    This morning, ‘The Guardian’ reported that Sir Geoffrey Cox stayed at this £5,300 per week “luxury estate on Cooper Bay” on “the north shore of Tortola, the biggest of the British Virgin Islands” during his “lucrative side-hustle.” The paper’s Luke Harding remarked: “There is an infinity pool. And a terrace, perfect for cocktails against a pink Caribbean sunset. Tavistock it isn’t.
    Cooper Bay BVI villa 2
    The villa the Torridge and West Devon MP and “prominent barrister” stayed in features a “spectacular internal boulder.”
    Cooper Bay BVI villa 1
    A bedroom within the villa enjoys a balcony with a spectacular view out to sea – clearly something the MP’s poorer constituents won’t be enjoying anytime soon.
  • Word of the Week 2021 – Malversation

    Word of the Week 2021 – Malversation

    In sharing the meaning of ‘malversation,’ Susie Dent sums up the morally bankrupt regime currently in power in Britain

    Consistent in her ability to supply many a ‘Word of the Week’ for The Steeple Times, etymologist and Countdown ‘Dictionary Corner’ stalwart Susie Dent has gone and done it again.

     

    Tweeting on Thursday and following up on her brilliant use of ‘thunderplump’ earlier this week, Dent remarked on a word of Middle French origin that sums up Boris Johnson’s Conservative government. Her missive read:

     

    Word of the day is ‘malversation’ (16th century): the corrupt administration of power.

     

    In a week when ‘Bosie The Clown’ has shown his true colours in his inept handling of ‘Owen Paterson-gate,’ we have most definitely seen ‘malversation.’

     

    That anyone views it acceptable that an already handsomely paid MP and former minister took over £500,000 extra to lobby for private companies is bad enough, but that his cretinous colleagues were then forced to march through the lobbies in support of this charlatan is an utter disgrace.

     

    Forever more a ‘malverser,’ Paterson – who was quite happy to sit in Parliament for 24 years without previously moaning about how “cruel” a place he supposedly now believes it to truly be – will be remembered now as a ‘King of Sleaze.’ Equally, if this prized prig thinks he’ll now be “clearing his good name,” he’s about as likely to see another pig fly across the sky above his vast Shropshire mansion.

     

    Shame on Owen Paterson, but more so shame on Boris Johnson and his wholeheartedly rotten government.

     

    Owen Paterson mansion
    Owen Paterson was able to live in palatial splendour in a vast Shropshire mansion courtesy of not only his salary as a Conservative Member of Parliament, but also because he greedily and without hesitation or consideration for morality took over £500,000 from private companies. That he said he’d “do it all again” about sums up the arrogance of this grubby piece of toerag.
    According to Merriam-Webster, ‘malversation’ – first knowingly used in 1549 – can be defined as “misbehavior and especially corruption in an office, trust, or commission” or more simply as a “corrupt administration.” Going further they add: “The form ‘mal-’ is often a bad sign in a word, and malversation is no exception. In Middle French, ‘mal-’ (meaning ‘bad,’ from the Latin word for ‘bad,’ ‘malus’) teamed up with ‘verser’ (‘to turn, handle,’ from the Latin verb ‘vertere,’ ‘to turn’) to create ‘malverser,’ a verb meaning ‘to be corrupt.’ This in turn led to the French noun ‘malversation’, which was adopted by English speakers in the mid-16th century. Some other ‘mal-’ words that entered English from Middle French are ‘maladroit’ (‘inept’), ‘malcontent’ (‘discontented’), and ‘maltreat’ (‘to treat badly’).”
  • Randy Rob Must NOT Return

    Randy Rob Must NOT Return

    Nikolay Kalinin suggests that 12 weeks suspension is far from enough for serial sex pest ‘Randy Rob’ Roberts MP

    As Prince Andrew is being forced to acknowledge that his palace walls won’t save him from the legal papers regarding a sexual assault lawsuit against him, another man of questionable morality is jumping up and down in happiness upon realisation that his career is not yet over: Rob Roberts.

     

    The Delyn MP had been forced out of Parliament for 6 weeks after sexual assault allegations, was stripped of his status as MP, and upon return was instantly condemned and faced repeated calls to resign. Now, it’s been confirmed that he’ll be suspended from the Conservative party for 12 weeks.

     

    Following his suspension, ‘Randy Rob’ will continue to sit as an independent MP, although he will remain on Tory benches and will become a full party member again.

     

    Unsurprisingly, Roberts’ victim was abashed by the news, telling BBC News: “It’s disconcerting that someone who has caused so much concern amongst younger members of the party should be allowed to continue their membership and potentially continue to have access to other young members in the future.”

     

    It is abhorrent in my opinion that no one in the Standards Committee thought that a recall petition should be called, because I’m pretty sure Robert’s constituents would want to have a say when it comes to deciding the future of their MP who can’t restrain himself from childish and creepy behaviour.

     

    Then again, what can we expect from a party that wouldn’t get rid of Priti Patel and sex maniac Stephen Crabb? At this point, the word ‘Tory’ is becoming a byword for an absolute lack of decency, and we must not let the government forget that.

     

    Rob Roberts sex pest
    Roberts was deservedly slammed in June 2020 after it was revealed that he texted a young female aide on WhatsApp and remarked: “Just thought we could have some fun maybe, no strings. Will leave it with you. I might be gay but I enjoy … fun times.”
