  • Birdbrained Bore Bouzy Bombs – Noxious Nitwit Meghan Markle Super-Fan Christopher Bouzy Faces Trouble In 2 Court Cases

    Birdbrained Bore Bouzy Bombs – Noxious Nitwit Meghan Markle Super-Fan Christopher Bouzy Faces Trouble In 2 Court Cases

    Birdbrained Bot Sentinel bore Christopher Bouzy faces further trouble as he’s dragged deeper into two court cases concerning his definitely dubious puppet mistress Meghan Markle

    Bullying braggart Christopher Bouzy is someone you could only wish upon your worst enemy. Here is a bombastic bore whose attempts to persuade the world that his ‘statistics’ are anything other than what they truly are – and that is they are just a load of old rot – can only be surmised as an utterly tedious joke.

     

    The work of birdbrained Bouzy’s ‘organisation’ Bot Sentinel – which nonsensically claims to be all about “helping fight disinformation and targeted harassment” through “tracking” and “classifying” Twitter accounts – has long been called out as complete Barry Bull. This firm’s creepy campaign against the much-loved Welsh warbler Sadie Quinlan (AKA ‘Yankee Wally’) was beyond appalling, but now this nasty piece of toerag is facing personal trouble and strife with not just one, but two court cases involving his antagonistic antics moving forward.

     

    Fresh from his Netflix appearance peddling piffle for the Prince Harry and the woman formerly known as Meghan Markle in the docuseries Harry & Meghan in December last year, moronic mouthpiece Bouzy is being dragged deeper into two legal cases. The first is an action brought by Samantha Markle against her estranged half-sister the Duchess of Sussex whilst the second is an action brought against him personally by the attorney and commentator Nathaniel J. Broughty (better known as ‘Nate The Lawyer’ to his 280,000 YouTube followers).

     

    “It’s about hatred, it’s about race” whined blubbering Bouzy as he defended ‘MeGain’ and her drippy husband in the Netflix documentary which he no doubt got paid rather handsomely to appear in, but in both upcoming court cases he’ll find himself deservedly accused of being the orchestrator of exactly such himself.

     

    In the defamation case of Markle v Markle in Florida, Bouzy will be called as a witness and required to give a deposition alongside not only the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but also Thomas Markle, Samantha Markle’s daughter Ashleigh Hale and the former royal aide Jason Knauf.

     

    Of the case, in March 2022, Thomas Markle remarked: “I’ve been trying for almost four years to get to see my daughter and her ginger husband in a courtroom face to face… I’d be thrilled to come to court and talk and defend my oldest daughter… There are so many obvious, obvious lies that are immediately challenged that I can’t imagine Meghan even going into the court with this… She can’t defend the things she said.”

     

    In the case of Broughty v Bouzy, in documents submitted to the United States District Court District of New Jersey on 6th February, Bouzy is described as having “no reputation to protect and little to lose by defaming a man who does.” Going further, the plaintiff argued:

     

    “Bouzy is a social media personality best known for a series of dubious online adventures—from crypto scams to phony software pitches… There is ample proof that Bot Sentinel’s social credit scores are the products, not of the rigorous algorithm Bouzy claims for them, but of views and people Bouzy does and does not like.”

     

    “Bouzy thus thrusts aside Bot Sentinel’s flimsy curtain and, in a turn whose irony was lost on no one but himself, proceeded to give the Internet a free master class on nasty, personal and racially-infused Internet trolling aimed at Mr. Broughty. From accusations of race treason – despite the fact that both he and Mr. Broughty are African Americans with a liberal political bent – to cruel mockery of Mr. Broughty’s humble origins as the child of a drug addict, and finally through a series of false and defamatory attacks on Mr. Broughty, Bouzy showed everyone exactly what social media toxicity is all about.”

     

    “Admitting that his campaign against Mr. Broughty was intended to destroy his reputation, credibility and career, Bouzy started with what must have seemed the definitive coup de main. Bouzy announced on Twitter that his own intrepid research had uncovered the fact that the famous YouTuber ‘Nate the Lawyer,’ whose livelihood depends on his identity as a lawyer, was no lawyer at all. Twitter users quickly demonstrated, however, that only a bit of competent investigation established that Mr. Broughty is in fact a member of the New York bar.”

     

    “Instead of admitting to negligence or incompetence, however, Bouzy publicly stated that, of course, he knew all along that Mr. Broughty was a lawyer, but said that he had purposely lied when he claimed otherwise.”

     

    “Emboldened by his ability to seemingly ‘get away’ with saying whatever he thought would harm Mr. Broughty, Bouzy then published a series of even more ‘damning,’ but also false and defamatory tweets. Bouzy took to Twitter and made the scandalous and fantastic claim that Mr. Broughty had, during his career as a cop, planted and falsified evidence on criminal drug suspects. Bouzy knew that promulgating this lie would render Bouzy [editor’s note: Ought to read “Broughty,” a mistake in legal document] unreliable as a source of criminal law and social commentary on YouTube.”

     

    “It was a lie, however, and Mr. Broughty immediately demanded its retraction. But Bouzy has never been held accountable in his decades of lying on the Internet, and was not about to start now. He did not merely refuse to retract these false claims; he dared Mr. Broughty to sue him for defamation. Mr. Broughty’s hand was forced.”

    Duke and Duchess of Sussex
    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex went to America to seek “privacy,” yet all they’ve done since is seek out publicity. Be it through Netflix, Spotify or ‘Spare,’ this couple have well and truly tripped themselves up and as much as their PR peddling supporters – such as Omid Scobie and Christopher Bouzy – try, they face simply becoming more and more unpopular on both sides of the pond.
    Christopher Bouzy Nathaniel Broughty
    The war of words between the bombastic Bot Sentinel bore Christopher Bouzy and ‘Nate The Lawyer’ Nathaniel Broughty looks set to intensify in the coming months.
    Tweet 1
    ‘Nate The Lawyer’ claimed earlier this week that Bouzy wanted to settle with him.
    Tweet 2
    Bouzy fired back with further defamatory tweets about his opponent ‘Nate The Lawyer’ by remarking: “I beg no one, especially an unemployed YouTube troll thirsty for relevance. I am not interested in settling. Now run along and go make your 30th YouTube video about so my name can feed your family.” Clearly, the bargain bucket Bot Sentinel founder has rather a self-inflated opinion of his own ‘value.’
  • Gruesome Gadabout Gary Glitter – Filthy Paedophile Glitter Out Of Prison And Free To Abuse

    Gruesome Gadabout Gary Glitter – Filthy Paedophile Glitter Out Of Prison And Free To Abuse

    As filthy fiend Gary Glitter gets released from prison, we warn the British public to keep well clear of this evil paedophile monster as he is allowed to go back on gruesome gadabout

    The day that nobody, nowhere hoped would ever arrive did arrive this morning when the paedophile Gary Glitter was released from HMP The Verne – a low security category C jail in Portland, Dorset.

     

    Shockingly allowed out after serving just half of his 16-year sentence for abusing three schoolgirls aged between “younger than 10 years old” to 13 years old, the former ‘pop star’ – whose real is Paul Gadd – will be “subject to licence conditions,” The Guardian reported at 10.45am.

     

    In a “world exclusive” on 20th December, The Steeple Times reported that Gadd had left residents of Margate, Kent “furious” after rumours had begun to spiral that the 78-year-old monster could be moving to a town better known for its connections to artists Tracey Emin and J. M. W. Turner and most recently the hit film Empire of Light.

     

    Speaking at the time to The Steeple Times on condition of anonymity about what they knew about this very inappropriately titled Do You Wanna Touch Me singer-songwriter possibly relocating to this seaside resort, raged:

     

    “It is disgusting that this filthy creature might be allowed to live in the proximity of adults let alone children in a built-up urban area where there are many young families.”

     

    “I’ve had it on good authority that the sick bastard Glitter has been allowed out on day release trips and as part of his preparation for freedom, Margate has been placed on the agenda as being somewhere he could live. I was even told he visited recently to have a gander.”

     

    “As a grandmother, I’m furious and I want answers. I know he’s got to live somewhere, but we just don’t want filth here and I can assure you, mark my words, there’ll be hell to pay if he does turn up in any local shop, café, bar or restaurant.”

     

    We did subsequently followup with His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service at their Clive House, 60 Petty France, London headquarters for comment, but were met with a decline. A representative, who declined to give their name, remarked: “We cannot discuss individual cases” before curtly hanging up; they most definitely didn’t, however, add: Hello, Hello, [Call] Back Again.

     

    Today, going further, The Steeple Times urges readers in Margate and beyond to stay well clear of this monster. He may have served his latest sentence, but this prolific offender has previously been convicted of abusing children in Cambodia and Vietnam and for possessing 4,000 child pornography images also. They say a “leopard never changes its spots” and in the case of the Easy Evil singer Paul Gadd, here is someone who should forever just be marked as sheer evil.

    In August 2008, in a video shared on YouTube, Paul Gadd was filmed in Margate allegedly thus linking him to the Kent resort best known otherwise for Emin and Turner.
    The-Execution-Channel-4-Ann-Widdecombe
    In November 2009, wacky-not-wonderful weirdo The Right Honourable Ann Widdecombe DSG claimed she didn’t know she would be appearing in a fictional drama titled ‘The Execution of Garry Glitter’ when she agreed to participate in it. Speaking to the ‘Kent Messenger’ later, she ludicrously lamented: “I didn’t even know I was in it. At the time I knew merely that they were putting on a drama that suggested the home secretary had reinstated the death penalty, and that at the end the home secretary would have doubts. They said at a later stage they might use it in relation to a specific case. They wanted to do the interview and I agreed to do it. I don’t have anything personal against Gary Glitter.”
    Jim-Davidson
    In June 2021, ‘The Steeple Times’ reported that the washed-up wazzock Jim Davidson – a ‘5×3’ given his having had 5 kids by 3 of his 5 wives – had come out as a supporter of Gary Glitter (born Paul Gadd) and commented: “I spoke to Paul when I visited The Verne [prison] two years. He’s remorseful and he looked ready to start a new life.” Davidson was subsequently condemned as a “Nonce Defender.”
    Fred-and-Rosemary-West
    The notorious paedophile has regularly been compared to the thankfully croaked serial killing paedophile Fred West in terms of them both looking very, very similar. Both men had strong links in the Somerset area and it they certainly shared interests in committing the vilest of crimes.
    Jimmy-Savile-1
    With friends like these… Pictured with a random woman and a nasty, vomit yellow coloured jumper wearing Sir Jimmy Savile. They do say ‘paedos of a feather doth flock together.’
    Cliff-Richard
    With friends like these… Pictured with creepy Christian crooner Sir Cliff Richard, the ‘Another Rock and Roll Christmas’ singer looking (un)extraordinarily off his freakish face.
    Children-in-Need-Pudsey-Bear
    In January 1990, Gary Glitter – pictured here with a BBC ‘Children In Need’ Pudsey Bear – was interviewed by the ‘Smash Hits’ turned ‘Q Magazine’ journalist Tom Hibbert. Quoting from his regular: “Who the Hell Does _____ Think He Is?” feature, ‘The Rebel Magazine’ shared in October 2012: “’Cor! It was raunchy on the road, aw haw. It was very good. I used to take my pick of the girls, you know. I remember Helsinki, looking out the hotel window and there was 4,000 girls waiting – at least 4,000 because I was counting, I was standing there on the balcony and I’d get the binoculars and I was saying. Send me up that one. I’ll have that one. And that one. It was that easy.’ Hibbert asks him if he’d rather be trying to make the world a better place. Does he ever wish he went into politics? Glitter: ‘But I am political. I do it subliminally! Cor! There’s a long word I never used before… I do it subliminally and I think I’m pretty powerful, mean, some of my dinner parties, some of the gang go out and do all the talking and I’m the funny little Buddha sitting in the corner.’ Tom Hibbert: ‘What are you talking about?’ Glitter: ‘I have power. I’m the leader of the gang. I am power. Power with love, love rock ‘n’ roll and power, power to… you know? Do you know what I’m saying? That’s what I’m talking about.’” With the benefit of hindsight, one can ask why Paul Gadd wasn’t immediately arrested. Shame on the Metropolitan Police.
    Tessa-Dahl
    When he appeared on ‘This is Your Life’ in 1992 with children’s author Roald Dahl’s daughter Tessa, she remarked on how “schoolgirls paid £5 to gaze at him.” Talk about sickening. The ‘Daily Mail’ later reported: “The singer fidgets in his seat, loosens his scarf and puts a finger to his lips in a bid to silence Miss Dahl, who is also an author. Speaking to host Michael Aspel, she says: ‘My sister Lucy turned it into quite a successful venture. She used to pack the train full of adolescent school friends in school uniform and they’d skive school. She would bring them to the house and would charge them £5 a head to come and gaze at the Glitter.’ Addressing Glitter, Miss Dahl – the mother of model and TV presenter Sophie – added: ‘The house actually turned into a sort of Gary Glitter fan club outpost, which you quite liked.’ Glitter, who had already committed several sexual offences at that point, laughs nervously. Glitter’s paedophilia was exposed when he took his computer containing 4,000 images of child abuse to be fixed at PC World in Bristol in 1997. The Dahl family had no knowledge of his crimes.”
    Piers-Morgan
    And finally… Poor Piers Morgan – a man who seems to be like a magnet for such fiends… He’s also been pictured with other paedophile, nonce sex offenders including Max Clifford, Ghislaine Maxwell, Rolf Harris and Harvey Weinstein.
  • ‘Dirty Harry’ Helps ‘Bury Bad News’ – Shocking Jo Moore 9/11 Tactics Follow #HarryTheInterview

    ‘Dirty Harry’ Helps ‘Bury Bad News’ – Shocking Jo Moore 9/11 Tactics Follow #HarryTheInterview

    As the world media focus on ‘Dirty Harry’s’ disgraceful interviews, Westminster seizes an opportunity to “bury bad news” about MPs outrageous outside earnings and most especially Theresa May’s £2.5 million pay topup since the last election

    At 2.55pm BST on 11th September 2001, after both World Trade Center towers had been hit by aircraft propelled by Jihadists, Jo Moore, the then advisor and press officer of Stephen Byers, the then Transport, Local Government and Regions Secretary, thought it appropriate to send an email. It read: “It’s now a very good day to get out anything we want to bury. Councillors’ expenses?”

     

    Inevitably given 2,996 died that day including the 19 hijackers, Moore’s calculating communication ended up being leaked by someone no doubt quite rightly appalled at its contents and subsequently, it emerged that she’d had the gall to do it again in 2002.

     

    After Princess Margaret died on 9th February and prior to her funeral on 15th February that year at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on 13th February 2002, an email chain emerged between her and Martin Sixsmith, the then director of communications at Network Rail, in which it was remarked: “Princess Margaret is being buried [on Friday]. I will absolutely not allow anything else to be.”

     

    Last night at 10.35pm BST, just after a ninety-minute interview with Prince Harry (AKA ‘Dirty Harry’ yet again now) – conducted by a close chum, Tom Bradby, who gave him the easiest of rides and didn’t ask any truly difficult questions of his dimwitted dunce mate of many years – splashed across news channels across the globe, a bit of ‘Jo Moore-ing’ was clearly underway at Westminster and headline information that would otherwise have been “tomorrow’s shockers” on any other day were quickly “given out.”

     

    As featured in an expose by The Steeple Times back in November last year – when nobody else in the press seemed to want to ask pertinent questions about what was actually shockingly going on when Theresa May outrageously took money to speak in the place of questionable human rights that is Saudi Arabia – last night’s ‘little leak’ centred on the outside earnings of the grasping grabbers that are British Members of Parliament.

     

    On any other day, a Sky News and Tortoise Media investigation that revealed that in total – in the last three years since the last general election – the 650 Members of Parliament that sit in the House of Commons have taken £183 million ($222 million, €208 million or درهم816 million) “in the form of second jobs, donations, free trips and hospitality, all from private sources,” would be front page news and enough to cause ‘Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells’ types everywhere to have full-on coronaries.

     

    Of their revelations, shared in an article late last night by Tortoise’s Catherine Neilan and Giles Whittell, the most amazing was that it was not the notoriously greedy former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who’d raked in the most to take top place for “side hustles,” but in fact she famed for being “naughty” by “wandering in wheat fields,” Theresa May. The Member for Maidenhead raked in over £2.5 million ($3 million, €2.8 million or درهم11.1 million) on top of her £85,000 ($103,000, €97,000 or درهم379,000) parliamentary salary.

     

    Of the astounding £107,600 ($130,600, €122,300 or درهم480,000) payment, Lady May received from the World Travel and Tourism Council for the aforementioned likely very short speech in Saudi Arabia, the Belfast Telegraph later added: “[She took this for a speech in] a country she blocked ministers and officials from visiting following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.”

     

    In 2003, Jo Moore resigned. Supposedly, she’s now a teacher, but whether she teaches the “art of communication” is unknown. If she does, perhaps Prince Harry might want to apply for lessons as he and his harridan handler wife could learn an awful lot from such. In addition, maybe it’s time for Lady May to get in on another “money sluice;” maybe, just maybe she out to go into business with Ms Moore also.

    Pictured Top – The Right Honourable Lady May MP is quite happy to take Saudi wonga (and honours and millions more elsewhere) in spite of her £85,000 parliamentary salary and expense allowance; he who wanted to be “private” Prince Harry is quite happy to take millions in wonga from Netflix, Penguin Random House and Spotfiy (amongst others) to spill his guts whilst denigrating the reputations of his stepmother and his very own brother.

     

    This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Is Westminster using #HarryTheInterview as a way to ‘bury bad news’ (Jo Moore 9/11 style) about MPs outside earnings?” and accompanied his poll with the hashtags: “#PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle #Harryhasgonemad #RoyalFamily #RoyalScandal  #TheresaMay #DavidLammy #politics #MPs #power #mondaythoughts #MondayMorning #BuryBadNews”
    Theresa May 2021 earnings
    Duke and Duchess of Sussex Spotify Penguin Netflix money
    This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples also asked: “In wake of #HarryTheInterview with Tom Bradby last night, what’s your view of how Prince Harry comes out in the wash?” The overwhelming response thus far (76.4% as of 10am, 9th January 2022) has been: “A mangled mucked up mess.”

    Twitter reacts to Tom Bradby’s toady interview…

    The British public were shocked and stunned undoubtedly last night as they watched the Duke of Sussex bang on about everyone but himself being to blame for his predicament to his mate Tom Bradby on ITV1 last night.

     

    Whilst the majority who reacted on Twitter were outraged, a few of his PR peddling fanatics and others did offer supportive words and encouragement.

     

    A selection of the missives shared follows:

     

  • ‘Lady Whistledown’ Lays Into ‘Cheshire Cat’ Ferne McCann

    ‘Lady Whistledown’ Lays Into ‘Cheshire Cat’ Ferne McCann

    As smugger-than-smug “grinning” Cheshire Cat Ferne McCann parades around as if she’s done nowt wrong, her nemesis ‘Lady Whistledown’ again quite rightly calls out this apologist for an acid thrower as the toxic toerag that this wicked wastrel truly is

    Feckless freak Ferne McCann is undoubtedly a piece of trailer trash capable only of spouting tripe.

     

    Here is a wastrel-not-even-a-woman with a brain so clearly stir-fried that it wouldn’t even have interested Jeffrey Dahmer to experiment with. Here also is a monster whose wicked words about the sixteen, yes sixteen, innocent victims the father of her child mercilessly hurled acid all over in 2017 in a London nightclub illustrates her as nothing but a noxious narcissistic.

     

    Now, yesterday, thinking that the scandal of her vicious voice notes – featured in The Steeple Times last week and to which one victim of her evil ex-lover Arthur Collins responded: “Thank you for showing her for what she truly is; evil” – ‘Cheshire Cat-like’ Miss McCann was pictured in the MailOnline in what someone named Kenzi Devine pathetically promoted as a “picture exclusive.”

     

    Of a “victim shaming” disgrace who shockingly called out one of Collins’ victims simply as a “silly b*tch,” Devine enthused that McCann “appeared in high spirits” as “she enjoyed a stroll around Essex.” Going further, this supposed ‘showbiz reporter’ toadily observed: “The former TOWIE [‘The Only Way Is Essex’] star, 32, flashed a grin while wrapping an arm around her other half’s neck and giving him a loving gaze, opting for a bare-faced look while heading to her local shops.”

     

    Instead of calling out these clearly planned and posed for pictures of someone who excused an acid attack that wrecked the lives of sixteen innocent people, Devine turned her ‘feature’ into a fashion parade and continued:

     

    “Heading out this weekend, Ferne kept comfortable in a pair of dark brown leggings and a light grey, quarter-zip sweater. She added a pair of colourful trainers with white crew socks over the athleisure, which had the word ‘ugh’ stitched into the ankle in black.”

     

    “Ferne kept close to Lorri, who showed off his large collection of leg tattoos with a pair of black sport shorts, a long-sleeved black top and grey Nike gilet.”

     

    “They appeared to be enjoying the trip out, sharing a laugh as the former TOWIE star leaned in close to her man and wrapped around his neck.”

     

    Frankly, Kenzi Devine should be ashamed of herself for writing what should only be referenced as ‘dire drivel’ and rightly last night, the nemesis of Ferne McCann that is ‘Lady Whistledown’ came back at the TV twerp and told her Instagram followers:

     

    “I think everyone should email a complaint to ITV about [Ferne McCann’s] behaviour. This woman has been given a huge platform influencing the younger generation and by the looks of it ITV are condoning this woman fat shaming and now using derogatry words to a poor, innocent victim who has been through enough.”

     

    Today, we echo these sentiments and urge readers to email [email protected] to offer condemnation of this sicker-than-sick shameless piece of toxic toerag. Ferne McCann should be cancelled and she should be taken off the air for once and for all. There is no room in Britain for this kind of cretin; in fact, there’s no room for her anywhere at all.

    Ferne McCann and Lorri Haines
    The smugger-than-smug friend of the creepy Christian crooner Sir Cliff Richard and the queue jumper Philip Schofield pictured with her latest foolish fiancé Lorri Haines – who obnoxiously declares himself as a “family man, on a journey, quantum thinker, introvert geek, health is wealth, grateful to be alive and for everything I have” to his 170,000 followers on Instagram – in pictures so clearly planned and posed. Does this hapless harridan have no sympathy for the victims she so clearly insulted? Clearly, the answer to that is only: “NO, NO AND BLOODY WELL NO.”
    Kenzi Devine
    The ‘MailOnline’s’ Kenzi Devine clearly thinks it correct to write about the fashion of Ferne McCann and Lorri Haynes rather than actually focusing on victims. Her “picture exclusive” deserves calling out for the tripe that it truly was. The pictures included are clearly posed and were clearly planned and she ought to acknowledge that these images did not come about by chance.
    Instagram post Gemma Collins row
    The Instagram account @ladywhistledown195 quite rightly told its 68,900 followers to email ITV to demand the taking down of a woman who has so viciously attacked 16 victims of a vile acid attack (left) whilst in another image taken previously Ferne McCann’s vicious behaviour to others was shown when she launched into a tirade against fellow ‘TOWIE’ participant Gemma Collins. It is time that this wicked woman was cancelled for once and for all.

    Twitter users take a view on the shameless self-publicist Ferne McCann…

  • Grim, Gobby Grimes Gone – Bombastic Brexit Bore Darren Grimes Axed By GB News

    Grim, Gobby Grimes Gone – Bombastic Brexit Bore Darren Grimes Axed By GB News

    As ghastly, gobby and grim Darren Grimes gets axed by GB News, we call for the complete cancellation of a bombastic Brexit bore known best for pulling a Diane Abbott in wearing mismatching footwear

    Self-declared “Northerner that says it how it is” Darren Grimes fits into the same category as Tom Harwood, Owen Jones and Omid Scobie in terms of being considered utterly irksome. With his nasty nasal twang and a Priti Patel-like use of language when he’s “scramblin’,” “wavin’” and “invadin’,” here is a tedious twerp who made even right-wing viewers of GB News turn off.

     

    Now “abruptly cancelled” – according to Wikipedia – by GB News, Liberal Democrat turned right-wing Brexiteer Grimes took to Twitter on 4th November and declared:

     

    “Sadly, my GB News show, Real Britain, is ending in a few weeks. I want to make its last few episodes on air the best of all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who have loyally tuned in and supported me and the channel – it has been the greatest ride of my life!”

     

    Responding on the social media network, most were unsympathetic of the plight of this County Durham born 29-year-old. One observed that GB News had “caused distress to his one viewer” whilst another added: “Good riddance to @Darren_Grimes: A vile racist and sh*t stirrer. May they all tumble, one after the other.”

     

    Whilst Christine Hamilton proved herself a lone voice of support in stating: “You will be much missed” and adding “you will succeed whatever,” the cancellation of the founder of the since disgraced BeLeave campaign is something that has unsurprisingly been widely celebrated. It is now simply time for something else and that is to banish dimwitted Darren Grimes to Siberia for once and for all.

     

    Pictured top – Darren Grimes (left) on a beach with what appears to be a small man running up his arm and a “coming soon” sign behind him; mockery of this “half-witted t***er” is unsurprisingly widespread on social media (right).

     

    Rather like Diane Abbott, here is a tedious twerp who doesn’t appear able to match his footwear. Pictured at his beloved Newcastle United Football Club in a white shoe and a black shoe, Grimes has also been repeatedly subjected to widescale discussion of what he used to get upto whilst in the classroom as a child in year nine. “I’m not messing about,” he whimpered before not doing anything about his accusers.
    Mocked widely on social media channels, the now axed GB News presenter is nothing but a disaster and a joke.
    The diatribe of drivel that came from the mouth of ‘Grim Grimes’ clearly made viewers of even the right-wing news channel GB News turn off. His “I’m English and I’m damn well proud to be so” message didn’t even resonate with Brexiteers and BNP and EDL fanatics and now it is time that he was simply cancelled permanently.

    Darren Grimes on Twitter…

    Twitter 1
    Though he thought his time presenting ‘Real Britain’ the “greatest ride of my life!” the viewing public clearly felt otherwise and hence GB News unsurprisingly axed this very boring berk.
    Twitter 2
    His Twitter handle speaks volumes… “Media personality” is hardly the way someone with a viewing audience of just the “mam” he bangs on about so much would be described by anyone with half-a-brain.
    Twitter 3
    Though ‘Dim Dazzer’ seems to find most of his ‘fans’ on Twitter, he slammed it on the 6th November with the remark: “You virtue signaling cesspit.”
    On the 5th November also, one of his videos was unsurprisingly removed from TikTok after it was deemed to be “hate speech.”
    Twitter 5
    Trying to make out he’d actually had messages offering him “support and encouragement,” on the 5th November ‘Dopey Darren’ declared: “Don’t worry, I’m not going to stop making videos! I’ll be on your screens in some format!” God help the viewing public if that proves true.
    Twitter 6
    Returning to type a day later, the opinionated oaf took his fury out on those calling him out and childishly branded someone who’d condemned him as “Mr Britain-loathing Liberal Democrat.”
    This morning, very predictably, the now axed presenter got very, very, very upset over the cancellation of Boris Johnson’s pet project ‘royal yacht’ replacement by Rishi Sunak’s government. “Could it be that the left just doesn’t like anything associated with Britain?” he whined.

    Reaction to ‘Crafty W*nk’ being cancelled and removed from television screens…

    As Omid Scobie claims that drippy Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ will reveal “the real truth” about him and his mendacious menace wife ‘MeGain,’ we say: Please spare us

    “Unless I’m missing something, what really would be a revelation would be for Harry to admit that, all things considered, he’s led a rather cushy, privileged life and if one of the worst things that happened to him was that he was born only second in line to the throne, then he might have done better not to have taken a reported £20 million for a four-book deal – does anyone want to read Harry on leadership and wellness? – and to have sucked it up and not made such a fuss” remarked John Crace this morning in The Guardian in his ‘Digested Week’ column.

     

    Quite right in his analysis, Crace hit the nail bang on the head, yet elsewhere yesterday the House of Sussex’s always predictably toady tin-banging twerp Omid Scobie decided to claim “the media’s got it all wrong about Prince Harry’s memoir.” Doing as he was no doubt told, as he always does when the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle no doubt put in a call, this PR peddler went further and declared to his extremely limited Yahoo! News UK audience: “Here’s the real truth.”

     

    Whilst anyone with a quarter of a brain would admit that senseless Scobie wouldn’t know “truth” it gnawed him repeatedly in the arse, the Finding Freedom ‘author’ whined about the “angered reactions” to the forthcoming diatribe of drivel that is Spare and suggested the media were claiming “quelle surprise, ‘all Meghan’s doing.’”

     

    Lauding the title of the tittle-tattling tome as a “punchy choice,” the unsophisticated former Heat gossip columnist and onetime mate of glamour ‘model’ Jodie Marsh continued his arse licking and declared:

     

    “So far, only the smallest official details about the book’s 416 pages have been released by the publisher. They describe SPARE as a title written with ‘raw, unflinching honestly,’ a book that is filled with ‘insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom.’ I’d expect nothing less from prolific ghostwriter J. R. Moehringer, who is famous for encouraging his subjects to switch on the lights in the darkest parts of their story.”

     

    Going further and bragging that he’s allegedly already seen the finished product, Scobie added:

     

    “Among those who have already had sight of the book’s manuscript, Harry’s journey of being the spare, plus that difficult decision to change his destiny and start a new life elsewhere, serve as significant parts of the book. Filled with the prince’s trademark cheekiness, this memoir also tells a surprisingly relatable life story. Sure, its opulent royal backdrop is far beyond a world any of us will ever know, but themes explored in SPARE should resonate with readers from all backgrounds.”

     

    “For all the tabloid reports about Harry supposedly ‘trashing’ his family (spoiler alert: he doesn’t), the book actually offers a more sympathetic look at the realities of their near-impossible existence. There were also no last-minute rewrites or edits after the Queen’s death. SPARE’s manuscript was completed almost five months before the monarch’s passing, a detail that will be acknowledged in a note at the start of the book.”

     

    “Hundreds of journalists, including myself, have written versions and fragments of the duke’s story over the years. It’s a story that, as a working member of the Royal Family, he has long been unable to tell himself. Now, having created an independent life away from the confines of the royal institution, Harry finally has the chance to set often-inaccurately reported records straight. The freedom of speech. And no matter how you may feel about the man, it’s hard not to agree he should have the right to that.”

     

    Elsewhere this week, speaking exclusively to The Steeple Times, the wicked wench formerly known as Meghan Markle’s somewhat more sensible sister, Samantha, declared of Spare: “’Spare’ us all the hypocritical pity party.” She is right and this book deserves only one thing; pulping.

     

    Pictured top – Twitter users unsurprisingly loathe and detest the mouthpiece of the Duchess of Sussex and mocked his ‘Finding Freedom’ as ‘Finding French Fries’ recently.

     

    Web Summit 2023
    Attempting to move the story onto his never-sorry-self, the ‘Finding Freedom’ PR peddling pillock shared news about how he’d been on the stage at Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon. He tweeted: “This year’s @WebSummit was the first to include stages focused on media, publishing and journalism so I was excited to be invited to speak, share stories, and discuss some of the challenges our industries are facing (from cancel culture to misinformation) and how to tackle them.” It was a shame he didn’t share that he’s the queen of misinformation himself.
    Jodie Marsh and Omid Scobie
    In August 2020, the ‘Daily Mail’ shared that plastic-not-fantastic Omid previously worked at gossip magazine ‘Heat’ and partied with the ‘glamour model’ Jodie Marsh. They mentioned how somebody had “airbrushed” Meghan Markle’s “entry on the online encyclopedia Wikipedia… to include more flattering details days before her romance with Prince Harry became public” and illustrated the ‘Finding Freedom’ author’s “drastic transformation” in two very different photographs. Maniac Scobie is someone who most definitely would like his past forgotten, but here again we remind him that he’s actually just a two-faced twerp who spins nothing but nonsense.

    Twitter reacts to Scobie’s diatribe of nonsense about Prince Harry’s nonsensical ‘Spare’…

  • Moron of the Moment 2022 – ‘Angry Man’ Owen Jones

    Moron of the Moment 2022 – ‘Angry Man’ Owen Jones

    In attacking Waitrose customers, batshit bonkers rent-a-gob Owen Jones just yet again proves himself Britain’s ultimate irritating ‘angry man’

    It’s common knowledge that rotten ratbag and raging rent-a-gob Owen Jones hates many things, but it emerged yesterday that he especially loathes Waitrose and its customers.

     

    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?”
    Waitrose Aldi Lidl
    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.
    Suck cock for Socialism
    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.
  • Revenge – Meghan Markle v Tom Bower 2022

    Revenge – Meghan Markle v Tom Bower 2022

    Is Tom Bower’s latest tome ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors’ actually going to be that revealing? Will it actually pull any punches or is it just a rehash of old news?

    Dubbed on the cover of Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors as “Britain’s top investigative journalist,” Tom Bower is known for his punchy unauthorised autobiographies of the likes of rambunctious rotters including Mohamed Al-Fayed, Sir Richard Branson, Boris Johnson and Robert Maxwell.

     

    Sued for libel unsuccessfully for Lord (Conrad) Black prior to his being sent down for fraud yet cooperative and seemingly very friendly with Bernie Ecclestone, “Witchfinder General of contemporary biographers” Bower’s book has – in extracts shared thus far by The Times – focused on information such as that the Queen supposedly did not want the Duchess of Sussex at her husband’s Prince Philip’s funeral and that both Prince Harry and his wife have been repeatedly “hysterical.”

     

    Hardly new ‘news’ in the sense that these “bombshell stories” have previously been repeatedly discussed online previously, such information as that “Meghan Markle ‘threw a cup of tea in the air’ and was ‘abrasive’ during [a] royal tour” is now doing the round. Of this, without naming the victim of the char chucking, Bower opines:

     

    “Meghan was allegedly abrasive towards her four female staff and even towards the local British diplomats.”

     

    “According to one report, Meghan allegedly threw a cup of tea into the air. Her anger may have been partly fuelled by Harry.”

     

    “Every night he trawled social media, searching for snide comments on the internet. Every morning he and Meghan turned on their phones to surf the Internet.”

     

    Speaking of his book to Times Radio two days ago, Bower added:

     

    “H&M have set themselves up as judge and jury of the RF. Everything they do is to provoke and undermine and to challenge. My book is not gossip and speculation because it is sourced. You can’t imagine how much I didn’t print. The sources are identified, nearly 1000 sources are listed.”

     

    “I have worked really hard to make sure it everything is accurate. There is very little in this book which is gossip and where there is, it is headlined as gossip.”

     

    “I think the reader will come away with a vision of Harry and Meghan which is very different to the one they are accustomed to so far.”

     

    Today, as self-proclaimed “global humanitarian” Prince Harry is set to give another no doubt self-serving speech at the United Nations in New York to mark Nelson Mandela Day, his wife is said to be “dreading” publication of the book in three days. Coming after her attempt to stop her half-sister suing her for defamation was unsuccessful, one, however, is left wondering whether Bower’s really will turn the screw or whether it’ll be left to another biographer to finally expose the truth about ‘Meddling MeGain’ and her drip of a husband’s ridiculous antics.

     

    Tom Bower’s Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors will be released on 21st July 2022 in hardback form.

     

    In a poll this morning, editor Matthew Steeples asked if the book will be “a rip roaring romp of a read or a somewhat boring rehash of old news?”
    Times Radio turned to the subject as to whether the royal runaways are “self-destructive or successful?”
    Duke and Duchess of Sussex
    The Duchess of Sussex has been known to pull faces on occasions prior. She now may well find herself chucking more than teacups when she gets to read a book that is released on the 21st July 2022. One can imagine her temper may flare more given she won’t even be able to get her PR peddler Omid Scobie to help her spin this one.
    Lord and Lady Black
    Other subjects covered by Tom Bower previously have included the equally Marie Antoinette-like Barbara Amiel and her husband Conrad Black. Lord and Lady Black tried to stop the author. They, like ‘MeGain,’ failed.
    Sir Richard Branson grabbing
    Equally, Sir Richard Branson didn’t exactly come off brilliantly as a result of being featured in a book by Bower.
  • Markle v Markle – £60,000 Defamation Demand Against Duchess of Sussex

    Markle v Markle – £60,000 Defamation Demand Against Duchess of Sussex

    As estranged half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex demands £60,000 from her for defamation, we remind the ‘Modern Day Mrs Simpson’ that she’d do well to heal her familial rifts in private

    This morning, the Mirror’s Patrick Hill revealed the “latest twist in a bitter legal row between siblings Meghan [the Duchess of Sussex], 40, and Samantha [Markle], 57” has come “days after Meghan filed a 27-page court bid in Tampa, Florida, to dismiss a defamation case brought by Samantha, who wants £60,000 damages.”

     

    Jamie Alan Sasson, a lawyer representing Samantha Markle, told the paper:

     

    “Our intention is to take this case to a jury trial. I feel confident we’ll get past the motion to dismiss. We expect to start taking depositions in this case within the next six months.”

     

    Responding previously on 13th May, the Duchess of Sussex’s lawyer countered:

     

    “This is a defamation case without any merit.”

     

    Referring to PR peddler Omid Scobie’s tawdry tome, they went further and added:

     

    “The authors of Finding Freedom made the statements, and there are no allegations – nor could there be – that Meghan wrote that book or otherwise controlled its composition and editing.”

     

    Frankly, this latest episode reflects very badly on drippy Prince Harry’s American wife. If she had an ounce of sense, instead of continuing this row, this audacious actress would organise a meeting with her estranged father and siblings and put a stop to this charade for once and for all. Instead, by continuing this toxic familial war, all the duchess does is add fuel to the fire and simply shows herself to be what one Twitter user accurately termed a “self-centred, self-serving attention whore.”

     

    Pictured top – The snarling and selfish Duchess of Sussex (right) faces a demand for £60,000 for allegedly defaming her sibling Samantha (left).

     

    This morning we asked the nigh on 13,000 followers of the @SteepleTimes account on Twitter: “Which of these mouthy minxes would you most like to see disappear into obscurity? Which one would you most like to no longer get news coverage?” Quite predictably, thus far with 22 hours to go, the vast majority of respondents have plumped for the Duchess of Sussex with Katie Price in second place, Rebekah  Vardy in third and Amber Heard in fourth.
    The Duchess of Sussex is being “sued as ‘Meghan Markle’” in the case. It has been brought by her sister in the United States District Court Middle District of Florida Tampa Division.
    Elsewhere, another court battle involving Prince Charles’ second son’s wife being called “the dreaded Meghan” is brewing away. It involves the academic Dr Anne Anderson and the Arts Society.
    Samantha Markle
    In times past, the ever so conveniently forgetful former actress was happy to pose for pictures with her the sister she is now at war with both in the courts and via the media.
    Thomas Markle
    Equally, the ever so conveniently forgetful former actress – a woman who clearly has trouble remembering how many times and when she got married – was happy to not only pose for pictures with her papa and to take his money to pay for her education also.
    Actress Meghan Markle kissing
    The ambitious and audacious wife of Prince Harry would, however, like pictures such as this – and others far worse – erased from the Internet.
    Elsewhere this week on ‘Palace Confidential,’ former senior palace aide Dickie Arbiter remarked of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex deciding to do another television series: “It smacks of desperation. It’s a bit rich, two people who left the UK, walked out of the Royal Family, because they wanted privacy, they’ve done nothing else but put themselves up front and a week doesn’t go by when there isn’t some sort of statement coming out of their PR people.”
  • Moron of the Moment 2022 – Michael Fabricant MP

    Moron of the Moment 2022 – Michael Fabricant MP

    That bleached blonde bisexual bore Michael Fabricant MP thinks it funny to make jokes about a Tory colleague accused of rape shows that he is nothing but a deranged, dimwitted dunce

    The bleached blonde bisexual bore that is Michael Fabricant is 71 and he was elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament first in 1992; the Conservative Member of Parliament now shockingly accused and arrested for rape and serious sexual and violent crimes between 2002 and 2009 is in his 50s and was likely first elected in 2001.

     

    Therefore, yesterday, in tweeting: “I am expecting a strong turnout of Conservative MPs at Prime Minister’s Questions today. Not only to demonstrate their strong support for Boris (!!). But also to prove they are not the one told by the Chief Whip to stay at home. I’ll be there! (winking face with tongue emoji),” this noxious nitwit simply made an utter berk of himself.

     

    Subsequently deleted quite rightly after condemnation from all quarters, the Tory twerp – who once tried to get the sick-to-his-core shock jock Michael Savage unbanned from Britain – is clearly at maximum 21 years older than his accused colleague ridiculously responded initially be suggesting those attacking him were “professional offence takers.”

     

    Rightly, according to The Sun, subsequently, this utterly incapable of making his mind up about virtually anything moron got a “dressing down by party whips” but then remarked: “No-one is making light of rape or assault. Far from it. But those who want to read something into a comment will contrive to do so whatever.”

     

    Responding, Labour MP Chris Bryant hit the nail on the head in suggesting that Fabricant’s original tweet clearly “implies rape and sexual are a laughing matter.” He added: “It shows callous disregard for the alleged victims.”

     

    The abhorrent behaviour of “not exclusively gay” buffoon Michael Fabricant – who once laughably called for a pact between the Conservative Party and the fruitcakes that are UKIP and has also been known to yell “bollocks” in the House of Commons during a debate about the impacts of Brexit – has previously been described as “completely unacceptable” and now quite rightly other MPs have called out his latest lunacy as nothing but “grotesque” and “idiotic.”

     

    It is time for this dimwitted dunce to do the decent thing; it is time for the poisonous pugnacious pensioner Michael Fabricant to just bog off and retire in ridicule. Nobody, just nobody anywhere, will miss this jaded joker.

     

    Pictured top – The attention obsessed Member for Lichfield recently wore a blue and yellow tie and badge in support of Ukraine to Parliament, but in doing so – as did the equally attention obsessed former businessman James Stunt in turning up in court in such garb – just made an utter prized berk of himself.

     

    On Thursday, the MP for Lichfield added fuel to the fire of his previous debacle on Twitter by tweeting: “I believe the Speaker is getting undue criticism for not revealing the name of the MP interviewed by the police. In any event, we have seen from the past, when accused people have been found innocent, it is for the Courts to determine guilt not the media especially in rape cases.” This dimwitted dunce should do something else: Learn the bloody art of silence.
    Naked numpty
    The clearly off-his-not-so-merry rocker MP was filmed cycling naked around Hyde Park in October 2018. Here is someone with no capability for behaving in a right-and-proper fashion and here is someone who the Conservative Party, if it had an ounce of decency left, would simply expel on grounds of decency and good taste.
    Adam Rickitt
    In November 2016, this deranged deviant and self-declared “due” changed his Twitter profile to a naked picture of the former ‘Coronation Street’ actor and former singer Adam Rickitt. Of this, ‘Metro’ declared: “We feel we should point out that this is not actually a photo of Fabricant himself – so don’t worry, you haven’t unwittingly seen his bare arse. This naked man is actually Adam Rickitt, a former Coronation Street actor who tried (and failed) to stand as a Tory MP in 2006… Metro.co.uk has contacted Fabricant’s office to attempt to get to the bottom (…sorry) of this.”
    Bleached blonde buffoon
    In May 2021, the Tory twerp shared a tweet in which he described pro-Palestine demonstrators who clashed with police as “primitives.” As is the norm with this nonsensical numpty, he was subsequently forced to delete the missive after unsurprisingly attracting widespread criticism.
    Responding on LBC of the “fellow with the hair,” James O’Brien remarked: “You know what he’s gone and done now… This is unbelievable. I just, I just cannot quite believe it… It follows a big story, it’s a big investigation… You know me, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: They can still shock me, these people. They can still shock me, even after all this time.”
