That Liz Truss appointed an adviser who’d previously worked for the mate of paedophiles Prince Andrew sums up her complete lack of sense and good judgment; that she’s almost unpopular as the rotten ratbag royal is also telling
George Canning lasted just 119 days in office from 12th April 1827 until his death on 8th August that year and now Liz Truss needs to ‘survive’ until 3rd January 2023 if she isn’t to replace him as the shortest serving Prime Minister in British history. Frankly, her chances of that seem a little bit beyond ‘Slim Shady.’
Truss – a schoolgirl-like being akin to a cross between the lisping limpet Violet Elizabeth Bott and the hectoring harridan with a mission to make the nation fat that is Mary Berry – faces woes on all fronts. However, what was most telling was that her adviser Jason Stein, who was forced out yesterday, had previously been an adviser to the man who paid a sum commonly purported to be £12 million to a woman he claimed to have never met, the non-sweaty friend of paedophiles Prince Andrew.
A clear case of “the truth being stranger than fiction,” the choices of Truss – a woman whose own lack of loyalty was illustrated most clearly when she had an affair with the now former MP Mark Field in 2006 – in also both her also-now-gone Chancellor and Home Secretary are most definitely indicative of someone who simply doesn’t have her finger on the pulse in any regard.
Elsewhere yesterday, the booze loving Felicity ‘Call Me Flicka’ Buchan, was called out by the acidicly acerbic blog From The Hornets Nest for being a “rare voice of support” for Ms Truss. Quoting an article from The Times, the blog observed that the Kensington MP was “out on a limb in supporting [the] hapless” Prime Minister and claimed it was “as if Truss was working for the Labour Party” and “was unfit for purpose.”
Going further, it was observed of a meeting of the One Nation Group:
“One obsequious murmur came from the minister Felicity Buchan, who offered a rare voice of support. But otherwise, the MPs filtered out of the room, and to their various disconsolate dinners, in a state of open hopelessness. ‘It was 99 per cent unsympathetic, 1 per cent Felicity Buchan,’ one said.”
Update – 2pm, 20th October – ‘Slim Shady’ Liz Truss proved to come and go even quicker than expected and now the shortest serving PM in British history has gone after just 44 days in office; God only knows what calamity comes next.
Pictured top – Two of the most unpopular people in Britain right now, Liz Truss and the Duke of York. What a pair of berks!
The former lover of Liz Truss, the now ex-MP Mark Field, came under fire in June 2019 after he grabbed a female protester by the neck at a bankers’ banquet. He was subsequently suspended from his Foreign Office position for manhandling Greenpeace activist Janet Barker. Rabbit loving farm dweller Ms Barker, 38, subsequently suggested Field “should consider anger management lessons” but did not comment on what she thought of the then Westminster MP’s sexual antics with the now (for the moment) Prime Minister he had enjoyed intimate relations with.Once lauded as ‘Lioness Liz,’ but now more widely considered to be ‘Loopy Liz’ and ‘Ludicrous Liz,’ here is a Prime Minister who is nothing but an international laughing stock. King Charles rightly muttered “oh dear, you’re back again” on encountering her recently and soon she’ll no doubt be consigned to where all political careers inevitably end – the dustbin of failures. Poor, laughable lassy Liz Truss.Will the current Prime Minister beat George Canning in having a record for being the shortest-lived Prime Minister in office? Given her current predicament, she looks most likely to be the ultimate winner. When you’ve got the backing of the current MP for Kensington – who won by just 150 votes at the last general election– you know you’re onto a loser. Boozed-up Felicity Buchan – a woman who has failed to reply to a letter sent to her by her constituent Matthew Steeples in July 2022 – is someone no one in their right-mind would want the backing of. Lazy and ludicrous, here is someone who can’t even deal with the potholes in Walton Street, the very street she lives in in Knightsbridge let alone judge the mood of the nation.
The Just Stop Oil ‘protestors’ who attacked a Van Gogh yesterday should be branded as what they truly are: Moronic vandals; that their organisation is funded by a member of the Getty family is even more outrageous
Vexatious vicenarians Anna Holland and Phoebe Plummer are due at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today after being charged with criminal damage to Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ (1888) oil painting at the National Gallery in London.
At 11am yesterday, these Just Stop Oil ‘protestors’ (as they’d like to brand themselves; we’ll instead term them ‘brainless vandals’) entered Room 43 at the gallery and threw an orange substance believed to be Heinz tomato soup at the painting. They then glued themselves to the wall beneath it and started shouting.
The pink haired half of this deranged pair of deviants launched into what Metro termed a “rambling tirade” and ranted:
“What is worth more, art of life? Is it worth more than food, worth more than justice?”
“Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?”
“The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families. They can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup.”
“We cannot afford more oil and gas. It is going to take everything we know and love. We will [unintelligible]…”
At this point security guards cleared the room to spare other visitors listening to these attention-seeking, moronic maniacs and to allow the Metropolitan Police access to arrest 20-year-old Newcastle resident Holland and 21-year-old Clapham resident Plummer.
Valued at a sum of at least £75.3 million ($84.2 million, €86.6 million or درهم309.2 million), the painting was fortunately protected by a piece of glass but National Gallery sources later confirmed: “There is some minor damage to the frame, but the painting is unharmed.”
In a statement late Friday, scumbags associated with the duo raged: “The art establishment, artists and the art-loving public need to step up into civil resistance if they want to live a world where humans are around to appreciate art.”
Subsequently, however, Holland and Plummer were deservedly condemned for their totally irrational and utterly pointless prank. On Twitter, one user called the pugnacious pair “Hooray Henrietta thugs” whilst broadcaster Janet Street-Porter added: “[Does] vandalising a masterpiece make a point about the cost of living? Well done Phoebe and Anna – you are just a couple of twerps.”
Another, Russ Jones, sensibly concluded:
“What on earth has Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ got to do with oil? Why not shove Michelangelo’s ‘David’ into the sea to stop oil? Pound a mammoth skeleton into dust to stop oil? Stab a dolphin? Piss onto a puffin? I’m completely behind stopping oil, but this seems mad.”
The disgraceful duo behind this pointless protest must have alerted members of the media in advance as cameras were present to capture their disgraceful action. Shame on the media present for not alerting the police and National Gallery. This disgrace clearly could have been prevented.The Metropolitan Police, for once, did a great job and swiftly dragged Holland and Plummer down to the nick – along with their can of Heinz tomato soup.In a separate incident yesterday afternoon, another member of the same group sprayed orange paint over the New Scotland Yard sign outside the Metropolitan Police headquarters. Lora Johnson, 38, of Southwold was subsequently also arrested and charged.Hypocritical heiress Aileen Getty’s wealth stems from oil, yet she spends her wealth funding morons who go around attacking oil paintings. She ought to consider the ridiculousness of her position given that she lives off wealth created from oil – the very thing those she funds are so hateful of.
Twitter reactions to the mindless vandalism of a Van Gogh…
As new theories about Elon Musk and Ghislaine Maxwell’s connections emerge, further new stories about the grubby groper’s deviancy follow involving Donald Trump and a Scottish madam
Like the case of the boy who repeatedly cried wolf, grubby groper Ghislaine Maxwell is someone whose word simply cannot be trusted.
Now, as she experiences the realities of her 20-year prison term, maybe, just maybe this wicked wench might name names before a June 2023 deadline if she wants to see her sentence reduced – and now, also, it seems powerful people are starting to get worried.
Yesterday, the jailed sex trafficker and mucky madam Miss Maxwell – AKA Mrs Scott Borgerson, ‘Jennifer Ellmax,’ ‘Jen Marshall,’ ‘Janet Marshall’ and just plain old ‘G’ – returned to the news when the Mirror’s United States editor Christopher Bucktin revealed that she supposedly “asked the Elon Musk to ‘destroy the Internet’ before [appearing with him in a now] notorious party photo.”
Taken in 2014 at a Vanity Fair party, the aforementioned snap of the billionaire Tesla CEO being, as he has claimed on Twitter, “photo-bombed” by the since disgraced pension pot plunderer’s daughter, it “has [also] been claimed,” captured a moment witnessed by an unnamed Vanity Fair employee.
Of it, this ‘source’ told the New York Times: “The pair chatted. Ms Maxwell asked if Mr Musk if there were a way to remove oneself from the Internet and encouraged Mr Musk to destroy [it].”
Continuing, Bucktin added that this unnamed magazine worker claimed that “Maxwell also allegedly asked why aliens had yet to make contact with humans.”
The source curiously claimed: “Musk replied that all civilisations eventually end – including Maxwell’s hypothetical alien one – and raised the possibility that humans are living in a simulation.”
Previously Musk has stated “don’t know [her] at all” of Jeffrey Epstein’s hideous henchwoman, whilst earlier this month The Guardian reported that a new book has suggested that Donald Trump has been doing his best to distance himself from the deviancy of his former friend.
According to the paper, author of Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America Maggie Haberman suggests that Trump asked campaign advisers at a meeting in July 2020 in the Oval Office: “You see that article in the [New York] Post today that mention me… She [GM] say anything about me?”
The paper’s Page Six story concerned quoted Steven Hoffenberg, the since deceased convicted Ponzi scheming mentor of Epstein, as saying: “Ghislaine thought she was untouchable – that she’d be protected by the intelligence communities she and Jeffrey helped with information: the Israeli intelligence services, and Les Wexner, who has given millions to Israel; by Prince Andrew, President Clinton and even by President Trump, who was well-known to be an acquaintance of her and Epstein’s.”
Elsewhere in other news, a Scottish madam has claimed she once received a call from Ghislaine Maxwell, but “refused to provide women for Jeffrey Epstein” according to the Daily Record.
Anna Gristina, from Kirkliston, West Lothian – who herself spent four months on remand at the Rikers Island prison in New York in 2012 for her involvement in a £6 million vice ring – told Radar Online “she ran a legitimate matchmaking service” and stated: “[Maxwell] called up from London to say she had a gentleman friend in Florida who likes company, but he likes younger girls and she heard I was very reputable and had the best models in the industry.”
She added: “”I was at a hockey game with my kids when the call came in. Afterward, I did a little digging and my friend told me to stay away. If I had known more at the time I would have turned him in.”
The fake and staged photographs associated with the mucky madam and her cohort Jeffrey Epstein
29th April 2021 – Lawyers for Maxwell issue an image of her purportedly which they claimed to be her with a black eye. It turned out that the wicked wench had simply had an eye infection.
5th December 2010 – Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew walking in New York. Of this the journalist who tracked the pair down with photographer Jae Donnelly, Annette Witheridge, told the Mirror: “My theory is Epstein wanted to be pictured. Why go out in the bitter cold for a quick walk around Central Park? I think Epstein was relying on the fact a photographer was outside. He would’ve known we were there, we weren’t trying to hide. He had been in prison and he wanted to rehabilitate his reputation. Who better to be seen with than the Queen’s son? He was saying to the world that Prince Andrew is my friend.”
10th March 2001 – Forever world-famous photo that cost Prince Andrew a payment of circa £12 million to a woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, he claimed never to have met taken at Miss Maxwell’s Kinnerton Street, Belgravia mews house. This infamous image has never been discredited in spite of claims from Prince Andrew and others.
This anything but fake photograph of “chubby fingered” Prince Andrew, Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell on the first-floor landing of 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, London, SW1X 8ES on 10th March 2001 quite rightly remains in the public domain in spite of the royal and others such as Lady Victoria Hervey claiming it to have been a doctored creation.A walk in New York’s Central Park in December 2010 in matching jackets illustrated the deviancy of Jeffrey Epstein; the by then convicted paedophile clearly wanted to be snapped with a royal as he sought to attempt to restore his reputation – a ‘quality’ clearly shared by his former lover and the woman he most likely funneled dirty stolen pension pot money for.Prior to her arrest at the curiously named ‘Tucked Away’ using the invented name ‘Jen Marshall’ or Janet Marshall,’ woman-of-multiple identities Ghislaine Maxwell’s associates allegedly released faked images of her at an In-N-Out restaurant in August 2019. The advert in the background at the bus stop had never been at that location.Another example of deviancy came about when the mucky madam’s then lawyers tried to make out their client was being abused in jail and released a picture of her with what they claimed to be a black eye. It was simply an eye infection and now they’re probably regretting helping her as she’s not even paid their bills.That Fox News thought it funny to share a faked picture of a judge with connections to both the cases of Trump and Epstein with Maxwell was a further curious example of deviancy at work in this sordid saga.Trump and Maxwell’s history goes back decades. He clearly sent her a message with his “I wish her well, whatever that may mean” message when asked about her during his presidential term.
Names in the firing line most obvious from Ghislaine’s filthy ‘Little Black Book’ as she seeks to minimise her sentence
Ghislaine Maxwell has until June 2023 to cooperate and thus “name names” if she wishes to see her sentence reduced.
Those Scott Borgerson’s estranged wife has been known to associate with – none of whom The Steeple Times is suggesting at this time as having been involved in any of her crimes, but whom she might seek revenge against for not offering her what she might consider enough public or even private support – include:
Alexander Acosta
Woody Allen
Ehud Barak
Tom Barrack
Scott Borgerson (estranged husband, facing legal woes in connections with the non-payment of his wife’s vast legal bills)
Jean-Luc Brunel (deceased)
Naomi Campbell
President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary
Alan Dershowitz
Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva
Bernie Ecclestone
Bill Gates
Geordie Greig
Countess of Iveagh (AKA Clare Guinness, Clare Hazell)
After rightly being crucified for baiting after the death of the Queen, rabid ranter Owen Jones today deservedly comes under fire from the gay community also
Last week just prior to the death of Her Majesty The Queen, the pesky Poundland poison pen that is Owen Jones took to Twitter to brag: “OK, so something very big is about to happen.”
Two hours later, this intentionally irksome journalist and author added: “It turns out the Queen is alive so stand down.” Subsequently, when the monarch passed this self-attention seeking scumbag added decided to make a fuss about the “mass cancellation of events” causing a “sudden loss of income for many people who are low-paid in insecure work” and demanded a “compensation further.”
Going further against the national mood of mourning, he complained of “these mass cancellations” not being “even in accordance with government guidance” and “completely unnecessary.” Deservedly “crucified” by the Twitterati, this boring berk then ludicrously added:
“Actually, no. I am going to post this. The Daily Mail et al are now going to scour the timelines of everyone and anyone that can construe as leftwing for content they can outrage their readers. If you are on the receiving end of this you, cannot imagine what will hit you.”
“You could lose your job, be plastered across the Internet forever, and you could be subjected to very extreme threats of violence and death – and there are people in this country who may try and act on these. Don’t make yourself Daily Mail fodder! This might even be just for being a bit sarcastic or flippant, rather than something really OTT. It isn’t worth it!”
Unsurprisingly, just as occurred with this ‘angry man’ and Waitrose hating rent-a-gob in July, was slammed as “insensitive” and “out-of-touch,” but again he’s ranting and raving on Twitter at it again.
Turning his vicious tongue to the LGBTQ community despite being openly gay himself, Jones condemned an Australian gay man as a “bigot” and “anti-trans activist.” He described @Danfromsydney as being from a “cult” of “pariahs” and a “weirdo.”
Owen Jones – whom tennis legend Martina Navratilova once called “truly despicable” – is a total disgrace and it is now time that this tittle-tattling twerp was simply turned ‘orf for once and for all.
The wacky and worst words of the author of ‘Chavs’ and ‘The Establishment: And how they get away with it’
On capitalism – “Based on a myth: that thriving private entrepreneurs generate wealth through their own hard work, innovation and get-up-and-go.”
Of changing his mind – “Everyone is entitled to change their mind when the facts.”
Of the much ridiculed ‘comedian’ Russell Brand – “Our generation’s [George] Orwell.”
Of the much-loved war hero Sir Winston Churchill – “[It’s a] fact… [He] oversaw the death of three million people.”
On the class system – “Chav-bashing draws on a long, ignoble tradition of class hatred. But it cannot be understood without looking at more recent events. Above all, it is the bastard child of a very British class war.”
On Jeremy Corbyn and Corbynism – “[People] had been waiting for a long time for something like Corbynism to happen. They felt something had to give. There were so many people who wanted a genuine radical alternative. Against that, there were many diehard opponents of Corbynism, many of them within the Labour party, who thought, and still think, that it was a moral outrage and an aberration and that anyone involved in it should just go and die in a ditch.”
On Jeremy Corbyn’s supposed support for those the rational majority would consider terrorists – “No one has [been] killed by a wreath.”
On the establishment – One day, this Establishment will fall… For those of us who want a different sort of society, it is surely time to get our act together.”
On free markets – “A creed that stirs up near religious devotion among its believers. It is in fact a con, a myth, a great deception.”
On the late reality television ‘star’ Jade Goody – “What does the case of Jade Goody show us, other than the capacity of the British media for crassness and cruelty? Above all it demonstrated that it is possible to say practically anything about people from Jade’s background. They are fair game.”
On himself – “People might think I am overconfident. I look petulant when I stand my ground.”
Of the Labour party (he supposedly once loved) – “The parliamentary Labour party meetings were just brutal and gruesome. A lot of those people in the parliamentary Labour party – I’m just going to say it – are jumped-up thugs. Vicious, horrible people. They would sanctimoniously stand up and talk about the authoritarianism of Corbynism as they screeched like disturbed teenagers, spraying spittle at anyone with the temerity to support the elected leadership of the party of which they were members. I really don’t know what they are driven by.”
On his life thus far – “It was bloody hard, but it would have been far worse to wallo.”
On millennials – “Better to be seen as victim than the aggressor [in the] brutal battleground of the culture war.”
On politics in general – “A brutal business… The last few years have been like a Quentin Tarantino movie.”
On far-left politics in the 2020s – “The idea… is viable.”
Of his politics and writing – “I am a man of the left and I will always write from that perspective.”
Of political reporting – “Too often trivialised, treated as a soap opera based in Westminster.”
Of private education – “Private schools do confer other advantages, of course: whether be it networks, or a sense of confidence that can shade into a poisonous sense of social superiority.”
On sneering sorts – “A sneer can often reveal far more about the sneerer than the object of their derision.”
Of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer MP – “A professional political conman… [who is] not someone anyone can trust.”
On his own “wants” (in 2019) – “For much-loved pop stars to stop being inadvertent propogandists for mass-murdering dictatorships.”
On those of wealthy parentage – “If you are dim but have rich parents, a life of comfort, affluence and power is almost inevitable – while the bright but poor are systematically robbed of their potential.”
What others think of the “Witchfinder General” Owen Jones…
Olympian Sharon Davies MBE – “No victim.”
According to Fox News – “A braying jackal.”
Colleagues at The Guardian – “Lacking professionalism… [Stoked up] internal disputes.”
Author and journalist Douglas Murray – “[Like] a young child in a classroom letting off a stink bomb.”
Tennis superstar Martina Navratilova – “Truly despicable.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – “I’m not focused on Owen. I’m sorry Owen. I know Owen.”
And finally, the thoughts of some on Twitter… “He needs to stop doing the blow” and “an absolute helmet.”
Is it that mind-blowing that the Duchess of Sussex thinks she’s helping her cause with her latest antics? Isn’t this just instead yet another predictable example of her showing her truly self-serving character?
Deservedly condemned by Tom Bower in Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors and hinted at as potentially a “yacht girl” for Prince Andrew by Kirby Sommers in July, the mendacious minx formerly known as Meghan Markle has very predictably scored multiple further own goals in recent days. Why, given her past form, anyone is surprised however is quite beyond comprehension.
Going further, in an opinion piece widely saluted titled “Toddler and tiara: Meghan Markle STILL throwing tantrums about royal family,” Callahan added:
“This woman has nothing to say. She has nothing to offer, no original thoughts or guiding philosophy, no earthly reason to be taking so much money from, and so much space in, the mainstream media she so clearly despises.”
Summing her up as “the Greta Garbo of Montecito,” a new “Queen of All Things Sufferable” and “the Petulant Princess,” the award winning “Top 50 Power Women 2016” journalist amongst other things suggested:
“I must concede her lone accomplishment here: Just when you think Meghan Markle can’t get any more delusional, she outdoes herself. Her self-regard runs in direct opposition to her waning relevance. She clearly has no real friends left — or even decent publicists… Meghan is an inveterate liar.”
“What will make Meghan happy? Hell if she knows. The only solace she finds from this existential torment, it seems, is sitting for fancy photo shoots and talking to friendly journalists.”
“Left to her own devices here, Meghan returns to her default mode, perseverating over the Queen’s refusal to give her and Harry everything they wanted: namely, to monetize [sic] their royal status while owing nothing in public service.”
“’I think forgiveness is really important,’ Meghan says, adding that she has ‘a lot to say until I don’t. Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.’ Meghan Markle, two very weary nations beg you: Please. Be that silent part.”
Though outrage at the conduct of the Duchess of Sussex and ultimately also her drip of a husband towards the Queen and other members of both the House of Windsor and her own birth family is understandable, this ridiculous woman is simply incapable of accepting that it is her that is at fault. It seems that ambitious and audacious ‘MeGain’ will stop at nothing to achieve her next goal – the keys to the White House.
Known for slipping on proverbial bananas – as well as writing patronising messages on them to prostitutes – the wife of Prince Charles’s second son is clearly on a path where she will create more embarrassment and bring yet more havoc to both her marital and birth families. It is an outrage that nobody urges her to see sense and teaches her to behave with a modicum of decorum and an ounce of decency.Here is a woman who won’t stop until she next seizes high office. It is clear that a political career is very much on the agenda of this self-obsessed ex-D-list actress.
"Her aim is to get rid of the British Royal Family, without a doubt."
Of her claiming having got married the day before she actually did, Mr Markle stated: “Lying about the archbishop? How can you say: ‘We’ve been married three days before we got married’? Her lies are so obvious, I don’t know why she says them.”
Her very own half-sister, Samantha, who is currently bringing a defamation case against her, has called her out as a liar on multiple occasions also. It has been proven that the duchess’s claim that she hasn’t seen her sibling in over 20 years was proven untrue when a photo of the pair 13 years ago emerged.
Her very own half-brother, Thomas Jr., said of her: “I told Prince Harry, I think she’s going to ruin your life. She’s very shallow… She’s a phony, a bully, a jaded, shallow, conceited woman.”
The former Meghan Markle has been called out on multiple occasions for spinning stories against other members of the royal family, most especially the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Staff who’ve worked for her have complained that she is a bully and investigations into this remain ongoing.
The Duchess of Sussex is a known manipulator of the press and paparazzis and it has been claimed that she’ll “twist the truth” to get any headline she wants.
Questions remain as to how many times she’s actually been married in total. Some say twice, some say thrice.
Rabid ranter, author and brand strategist Arwa Mahdawi’s enthusiasm for goats and dislike of Johnny Depp shows her as ridiculous suggests Matthew Steeples
“It’s time we stopped telling women to act like men and started telling men to lead like women” reads a banner on Strong Female Lead author and New York based brand strategist Arwa Mahdawi’s Twitter handle.
Bizarrely, next, in her description of herself on the aforementioned social media site – which also includes a Linktr.ee promoting her book that is said to contain “incest in Iceland, garbage trucks in Taiwan and cuckoo clocks in Texas” – Mahdawi bangs on about “goat jokes” but claims her book is “not about goats.” She doesn’t, however, say whether she’s ever had an encounter with the Capreolus Club or whether she’s ever joined them to “take a break from deer” to slay such ruminant mammals in the north of England or Scotland.
Now, this morning in an opinion piece for The Guardian, in spite of Johnny Depp clearly having been very much victorious in his American libel battle against Amber Heard, Mahdawi declared that “misogyny is more alluring to many people than facts” and suggested that a “lot of unpleasant new information about Depp” has recently been revealed.
Going further, in a clearly biased rant against the Pirates of the Caribbean star, the columnist added: “It’s important to note that’s as if he looked like a boy scout in the first place… Depp has a well-documented history of toxic behaviour.” She then added: “There was a very long line of people ready to dismiss his bad behaviour while jumping on any excuse to paint Heard in a negative light.”
Though Mahdawi contined: “Heard endured merciless mocking and walked away with her reputation in tatters, while Hollywood largely rallied around Depp,” I will again stand by my article of 4th May and again repeat that “though Depp clearly has issues and is far from perfect,” it is, as his own lawyer Benjamin Chew pointed out, Heard who is the abuser in this story.
After all, as I remarked then of Heard: “Here indeed is a woman who supposedly chopped off part of her husband’s finger, stubbed out cigarettes in his face and relieved herself in their marital bed. Reportedly ‘jealous’ of her husband’s fame and prone to ‘experiencing increased agitation… anger and rage’ according to her own personal nurse Erin Falati, here also is a troubled bisexual drug user with a ‘familial history of substance abuse… anxiety, eating disorder[s], Attention Deficit Disorder, bipolar disorder, codependence issues and occasional insomnia.’”
Aside from the kind of bag of bilge written by her this morning about the deserved victor in the Depp v Heard case, Mahdawi has penned many other columns that have been equally ludicrous. In 2019, she wrote a piece about air conditioning titled: “Is your home constantly set a ‘sexist’ temperature? You’re not alone: A new study finds men tend to get their way in household temperature discussions while women must compromise.”
‘The Guardian’ columnist begs people to “plz buy my book” on her Twitter feed. She has 17,700 followers but whether each and every one of them has actually bought ‘Strong Female Lead’ is unknown. The clearly patronising book was “published in paperback [on] 26th May 2022.”What this somewhat crackpot crazy author’s views are on goat slaying and the Capreolus Club are also unknown, but what is sure she does like to bang on about these ruminant mammals rather a lot. God only knows why.It’s not just Johnny Depp that uspets the columnist, brand strategist and author. She also declared “Ivanka Trump’s new haircut should make us very afraid” in one of her especially strange features. Of the daughter of the 45th POTUS, Mahdawi ridiculously declared: “If her family cares about anything, it is image. Her political bob (pob) may be an attempt to get us to take her ambitions more seriously.” Off-the-scale nonsense, clearly.In suggesting “violence is the only answer left” when attempting to “end racism,” surely this rambling ranter went too bloody far? Nobody rational would sanction attacks upon others surely and that this gibberish got published is beyond ridiculous.Illustrating herself as nothing but a wack job, this woman – described online as a “gargantuan hypocrite and the stereotypical media hack whose sole objective is to peddle propaganda” – wrote about air conditioning in November 2019. In it, she argued that “the thermostat dictator is normally a man.” Whatever will she argue next? Will she blame Hitler for climate change or will she suggest that Cilla Black is responsible for a rise in divorce rates?
Aside from sharing his intense dislike for the shopping public, Jones took to Twitter to urge people to harass the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer whenever and wherever they see him. In a tweet, the reprehensible little squirt declared:
“If you see Keir Starmer out and about, call him what he is – a conman and a liar – and film it. Enough of letting our politicians getting away with this grotesque level of dishonesty.”
Going further after effectively urging attacks upon a democratically elected politician in a rambling rant shared with his 1 million nutty followers on Twitter, but not with the millions of others he’s no doubt spent hours blocking, Jones later stormed:
“You Keir Starmer, are a liar, a conman and a joke. Keir Starmer is a professional political conman. I don’t use those words lightly.”
“In order to become the leader of the Labour Party, he made a series of solemn commitments; pledges, he called them – which were radical domestic policies and party unity.”
“Now, he didn’t just slightly break that mandate, or mostly break the mandate. He has brazenly, overtly delivered the exact opposite of what he said he would be as Labour leader.”
“Now, I know most of the media have let him get away with this because they’re view is lying your way into crushing the left and conning your way into crushing them, that’s good politics.”
“I know his army of supporters online. The most tedious, ridiculous Waitrose customers that you’ll ever come across. They think it’s all fine because they don’t believe in anything. They made their entire political identity Brexit and stopping Brexit for years and now support someone who advocates the hardest form of Brexit possible.”
“Stockholm syndrome does not cover it for these people. The fact is, that is the truth.”
“Keir Starmer is a conman. He is not someone anyone can trust. He is somebody who lies as a matter of course in order to secure power. “
“He’s not fit to be leader of the Labour party and he’s not fit to be Prime Minister of the country and I don’t care how much that annoys the most tedious people on the Internet because it’s the truth.”
This time, like or loathe Sir Keir Starmer, eternally ‘angry man’ Owen Jones has most definitely gone far too far. In an era when politicians including the late Sir David Amess MP and the late Jo Cox MP were stabbed to death, The Times’ Janice Turner rightly responded: “Has he lost his mind?” We’d counter: “He did that long ago” and we today urge this noxious nitwit to learn the art of silence; of course, however, he most definitely won’t.
Responding to the reprehensible suggestion, winner of the Orwell Prize for Journalism 2020 Janice Turner, a columnist and interviewer for ‘The Times,’ rightly told her 85,000 followers on Twitter: “Owen Jones is seriously encouraging his 1 million followers to harass a politician in the street, maybe outside his home, less than a year after David Amess was stabbed. Has he lost his mind?”Another Twitter user, Caitlin Houlbrook, took up the mantle for shoppers and observed of the cat-loving, people-hating pillock: “Owen Jones labelling Starmer supporters as Waitrose shoppers. Can confirm, it’s Lidl or Aldi for me hun.”Taking umbrage at the deserved criticism he received after being accused of being “quite jealous” of Sir Keir and rightly told he “never achieved anything in life,” the ‘Chavs’ author chirped: “Better to be a failed writer than a professional conman!” Miaow.There’s lowbrow and tasteless, then there’s this particular specimen that will say or do anything to provoke and upset others. Frankly, ‘The Guardian’ can and could do a lot better than to employ a cretin who likes to sport T-shirts with captions like ‘Will Suck Dick For Socialism.’ They truly ought to fire this firebrand fanatic and do so pronto.Aside from his tirade against Waitrose customers yesterday, the squeaky voiced nitwit told his Twitter followers: “The crew now running the Labour Party are just genuinely horrible people.”The ‘Chavs’ author is incapable of engaging in rational debate. He blocks anyone who dares disagree with him and @M_Steeples and @SteepleTimes are delighted to be amongst the cancelled number. Next!
Illustrating his obsession with attacking Sir Keir Starmer, Jones shared a 12:10-minute video on YouTube in May this year. In it, he called the Labour leader “a dishonest man” and called out his “rampant dishonesty.” He then begged for donations via Patreon to “help us take on the right-wing media.”
Jones is regularly deservedly called out for attacking others. Has he ever got anything positive to say about anyone other than Jeremy Corbyn? It seems not.
