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…
In her latest feature discussion shared on YouTube, Amanda Eliasch sparks debate about Ukraine and ignites passion and fury from eternally eccentric Philip Sallon and anything but bashful Brexiteer Alice Grant
Amanda Eliasch is far from timid. Here, instead, is a directly different dynamo not afraid to challenge the norm and here is someone prepared to speak up for the causes she most genuinely believes in.
Marmite-like in her manner and a marvel against mainstream magnolia, Eliasch took to YouTube earlier this week to share a 25:47-minute upload in which she chatted with the eternally eccentric Philip Sallon and an anything but bashful Brexit supporting GB News ‘contributor’ named Alice Grant.
During the discussion, the trio commented on the war in Ukraine, coronavirus, China, Russia and other matters. Beginning, Beirut born Eliasch – whose father was a foreign correspondent for the Daily Mail – remarked:
“There’s a major problem in the world with billionaires. It doesn’t matter if they’re in Russia or the rest of the world. They are trying to rule it.”
Grant, a believer in the concept that “Russia has always made her position clear,” somewhat bombastically continued:
“There is this global elite and then there is of course the interests of the people – which are two very different things… There is this conflict between two financial systems: The US dollar… And then we have the emerging Chinese empire… This is the future.”
Dressed in military costume, Sallon on Russia and China contrasted:
“They’ve both got authoritarian leaders… I think America is a lot better. Where there’s a troublemaker in the world, they will go and get, not always, but actually get the dictator out and eventually leave.”
“What Russia has done is diabolical. To walk into Ukraine. How dare they… Russia don’t respect democracy. Putin is not elected. He’s abolished democracy and says: ‘I’m the absolute monarch, the same as the Tsar.’ He doesn’t say those words, but that’s what he is… Russia is upto its old tricks and walking into everyone’s countries again because that’s how they are.”
“Russia: They walked into the Crimea and everyone let them do it. It is exactly the same as the Nazis… F*ck Russia.”
In return, Eliasch bounced back:
“I always thought of the Ukraine… as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Suddenly, we’re hearing that they’re the angels from the sky and the victims.”
“This has not been just brewing now, it’s been brewing for twenty years… Biden isn’t strong enough… They’re not doing pigsh*t… We need to fight for peace right now.”
“The point is that it needs to stop. Everything.”
At the beginning of her feature, Eliasch herself elaborated: “We have different perspectives on things, but anything we say may not be true.” In doing so, she makes a very sensible point and on that basis her honest-to-its-core feature is well worth watching. It’ll be something you’ll either love or loathe, but it’s something that will certainly provoke you to think.
Just finished filming a fascinating discussion about geopolitical affairs, the “Green Revolution” and Sino-Russian relations. Thank you @amanda_eliasch ❤️
For the feature discussion, Philip Sallon – a “prominent member of the Punk sub-cultural and New Romantic pop cultural movements during the 1970s and 1980s” – donned military gear and a “UK for Ukraine” badge.In March 2015, Eliasch took to Twitter and remarked: “I have a huge dilemma since Galliano bitched about the Jews and I chopped up his clothes, and there is no more Dior for me. Vivienne Westwood slagged off England so the tartan went in the bin and Dolce and Gabanna talked about synthetic children. Thank goodness for Zara otherwise I would be stark naked.” Now, she’s turned to the matter of the war in Ukraine and she’s anything but timid in elaborating her thoughts on that particular matter.
With the arrest of a 60-year-old woman, will the fugitive son of a billionaire alleged killer of Martine Vik Magnussen finally be brought back to Britain to face justice?
The Steeple Times has featured the story of the rape and murder of 23-year-old Martine Vik Magnussen on 14th March 2008 on three occasions – March 2014, March 2016 and March 2017 – and in the time since her suspected killer Farouk Abdulhak has remained at large and disgracefully continued to stick two fingers up to the British justice system. Now, finally, with the arrest of a 60-year-old woman – described as a “significant development” by Scotland Yard – could progress to justice now finally be underway?
Son of a Yemeni business magnate nicknamed ‘The King of Sugar,’ Abdulhak (and himself vulgarly nicknamed ‘DP’ because of his penchant for consuming vast amounts of Dom Perignon champagne) and Norwegian former Mulberry employee Vik Magnussen, both then students at the private Regent’s Business School had spent the evening with friends at the ritzy Maddox Club in Mill Street, Mayfair – a then haunt of what was subsequently described as “the hip Eurotrash cool crowd” by then club promoter Hugo Campbell-Davys.
At around 2am that fateful night, Abdulhak and Vik Magnussen were seen leaving together on CCTV and two days later, on 16th March, the body of the latter was discovered in rubble and rubbish in the basement area of the Great Portland Street serviced apartment building where the former lived.
A post-mortem examination gave Martine Vik Magnussen’s cause of death as compression to the neck. In November 2010, an inquest recorded a verdict of unlawful killing. On a website seeking justice, her friends paid tribute to her life in a video shared on YouTube that also included a contribution from a Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Martine Vik Magnussen (6th February 1985 – 14th March 2008) was last seen leaving the Maddox Club, 3 – 5 Mill Street, Mayfair, London, W1S 2AU with Farouk Abdulhak (born February 1987 and also known as Farooq) around 2am on 14th March 2008. Her body was found in the basement of a residential building at The Armitage Apartments, 222 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5QR – where he rented a serviced apartment – two days later at 10.30am on 16th March 2008. She had been raped, beaten, strangled and attempts had been made to conceal her body in rubbish and rubble.Both the suspected rapist-murderer and his innocent, tragic victim were students at Regent’s Business School – known also as ‘RBS.’Martine Vik Magnussen was a bright, attractive 23-year-old lady whose life was so reprehensibly taken from her. The courage and tenacity of her family in campaigning to bring her rapist-killer to justice is to be saluted.Farouk Abdulhak (also known as Farooq Abdulhak) lived a playboy lifestyle in London and no doubt lives in luxury courtesy of his family’s wealth. His alleged victim’s life was cut short when she was just 23 and it is beyond disgraceful that this spoilt tyke has not yet been prepared to assist police as they seek to solve the rape-murder that at occurred in the property where he lived in 2008.The arrogance of this scion of a billionaire is clear. Here is someone who lived off his father and was clearly never taught anything about developing a moral compass or the concepts of right, wrong and taking responsibilities for your own actions.Items missing from the victim’s body that were with her when she left the Maddox Club but not with her body when it was discovered, according to Scotland Yard, included: Christian Dior earrings, snakeskin shoes, a Marc Jacobs handbag, a Guess watch, a silver costume diamond ring and her jeans (described as blue and of a ‘skinny’ fit).
Whilst the grieving parents of a young lady with a promising future were left to deal with the grim task of organising a funeral for their beloved child, the only suspect in the case, Abdulhak, had headed to the airport to meet his father’s private jet. He returned via Egypt to his native Yemen and since Yemen has no extradition agreement with Britain has been able to live-it-up there still to this day.
In the 14 years since, the suspect – whose now late father was said to have a net worth of an astonishing £8.6 billion and thus clearly the resources to protect his clearly spoilt brat – is believed to have married and clearly has taken the view he has gotten away scot-free, but the victim’s father, Odd Petter Magnussen has never given up in his quest for justice.
With the help in the UK of amongst others William Hague MP as Foreign Secretary first and Tobais Ellwood MP later, as Minister for the Middle East and Africa, attempts have been made to find a way to bring the suspect back to Britain for questioning at the very least. They sadly have not achieved anything as of date.
Yesterday, in a possibly more promising development Scotland Yard announced they had taken into custody a woman in her 60s on suspicion of assisting an offender in connection with the rape-murder. A previous arrest of a 50-year-old man in connection of “assisting the murderer” (according to Wikipedia) on 30th April 2008 sadly led to nothing further, however, it must be noted.
Speaking of yesterday’s arrest, Scotland Yard Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood commented:
“Martine’s family has never given up their fight for justice and, in the 14 years since her death, they have campaigned tirelessly to keep her in the public consciousness.”
“Martine’s family has been informed of this latest development. Though it represents a positive step, there is still much more work for us to do. Most importantly, Farouk Abdulhak should be aware that this matter has not, and will not, go away.”
“My team and I will continue to seek justice and use all opportunities available to pursue him and bring him back to the UK. His status as a wanted man will remain and we will not cease in our efforts to get justice for Martine’s family. I’m appealing to Farouk Abdulhak directly: come back to the UK. Come back to face justice.”
“Since Martine’s death, her family has shown true determination, together with my investigation team, as we want to provide some closure for Martine’s family.”
Last year, following up on many appeals prior, Odd Petter Magnussen, remarked:
“In today’s globalised world, you [Farouk Abdulhak] cannot hide forever from the oldest and most serious crime known to man – the rape and murder of a woman.”
“I appeal to you to return to the UK to assist the police in finding out what happened to Martine. I regard you as a coward unless you take responsibility for your actions.”
The last heard of Farouk Abdulhak – whose frankly reprehensibly overprotective billionaire father managed to travel without any legal hinderance to Germany to seek out cancer treatment prior to his death on 2nd October 2020 – was in 2008. At that time, his lawyer Mohammed Al Bakwli announced that he had advised his client not to speak to the media and added:
“He is not happy about being described as a criminal, as a murderer, when there is no such accusation against him. He is not an escapee. Things were written like he was the last man to see her alive.”
“It is not true [that his father] would disown Farouk. Whatever he has done or not done, he is still his son. But he has said he will not protect him if he has done wrong.”
Of the case, shared in a video uploaded to YouTube in October 2014 that has been viewed 6,000 times since, the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkol Karman, a Yemeni human rights activist, said:
“All Yemeni people, all Arab people are so angry about what happened to Martine. All the people who care about human rights values are so angry about what happened to Martine.”
“We are so angry because why the criminal until now hasn’t faced justice?”
Going further the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian lawyer, former judge and human rights activist, added: “I hope we can witness justice in this case and that the suspect will answer for his wrongdoings and actions.”
Rather arrogantly, just days after the senseless slaying, a “representative for Maddox Club” insensitively blabbed to “society journalist” William Cash – reporting for The Guardian – “This guy was a good friend, so it wasn’t like she was picked up or anything. People get killed for all sorts of reasons, it just so happens she was last seen at Maddox – she could have been last seen having dinner at Cipriani. Sadly, that’s just life sometimes.” The club continued, business as usual and remains open still now.
Shame on this filthy piece of toerag “representative” and shame on the cretinous Farouk Abdulhak and his equally cowardly late father. It is time for this case to be resolved and perhaps 2022 might just be the year for that.
Update: Wednesday 9th March, 3pm: The suspect, aged in her 60s, has been released by the Metropolitan Police on bail today after being held since Tuesday morning.
As before, anyone with additional information that may assist in achieving justice for the Vik Magnussen family should telephone the Metropolitan Police on +44 (0) 20 8358 0300 or Crimestoppers anonymously on +44 (0) 800 555 111.

Shaher Abdulhak (1938 – 2020) was a prominent Yemeni businessman and the founder of Shaher Trading. Nicknamed the ‘King of Sugar,’ this “media shy” individual “held a great deal of political influence” and “never granted interviews.” He died in Germany from cancer and is buried in Cairo, Egypt and in the wake of his son being accused of rape and murder in London, quite rightly amongst others Daimler AG ended their relationships with a man who harboured and protected a fugitive alleged killer.In 2016, it was reported that the victim’s father had “received an offer of the arrangement of Abdulhak being handed over to Interpol on the eighth anniversary of her death in exchange for Norway hosting peace talks when the Yemeni civil war was at its height.” Though this was unsuccessful, Mr Magnussen later remarked: “I found this encouraging. This was a strong message to the suspect that he can no longer rely on the total support of his own people. I hope he is not sleeping so well these days.”The funeral of Martine Vik Magnussen – a young lady whose life should not have been cut short at 23 and whose rapist-killer must be brought to justice.
Matthew Steeples reviews ‘Bloody Difficult Women’ – a play about Brexit, Theresa May, Gina Miller and struggle and sacrifice– and finds it relevant as we face the ongoing fallout from Britain’s decision to leave the EU and as Putin’s tanks roll into Ukraine
Bloody Difficult Women by former Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail columnist Tim Walker was, like so many things, inevitably delayed by coronavirus. In spite of having meant to have been brought to the stage in early 2020, it now comes at the right time as Russian intervention in Brexit is once again revisited as the tyrant Putin sends tanks into Ukraine and Britain continues to face the consequences of what Vote Leave ‘achieved’ in 2016.
Starring Jessica Turner – Midsomer Murders, Heartbeat – and Amara Karan – The Bill, The Darjeeling Limited – as the two “bloody difficult women,” this is not only a story of the implications of the 2016 referendum, but also one of the uphill struggle of the financier turned crusading campaigner Gina Miller and the then Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May.
Inspired by his friendship with Miller and his having witnessed her “David and Goliath type battles with the governments of Theresa May and later Boris Johnson,” Walker commented: “I think she showed remarkable courage and I think it was a story that needed to be told.”
Going further, The New European columnist added:
“I hope, above all things, it will simply make people think and I also want them to understand that it was fundamentally a human drama and that everybody involved with that, to an extent, made sacrifices – and that I’d argue that Mrs Miller made the biggest sacrifice because it was her against the full might of the establishment, the full might of the state.”
“Nobody is completely bad, nobody is completely good and that I think is what the play gets across in very realistic and I think humane terms. I think the drama behind the play is almost as great actually as the drama in the play.”
“I think the story of May and Miller is a microcosm of what is happening in our country. Two perfectly normal women having a fight in the courts when in any other circumstances, they would be friends. I think that the message of the play is that we need to reunite.”
Speaking of the performance in his typically direct fashion, former Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow remarked: “It was an outstanding performance of an outstanding story by some fascinating characters… A captivating representation of historically important historic events” whilst the broadcaster and Dead Sheep playwright Jonathan Maitland added: “I thought it was incredibly brave and hugely funny in parts.”
A fictional civil servant Sir Hugh Rosen is played by the brilliantly witty Graham Seed – The Archers, The Pargetter Triptych. He is pitted against Paul Dacre, played by Andrew Woodall – Kavanagh QC, Des – and in the course of the rambunctious then editor of the Daily Mail’s cursing rants, the power of the media versus the politicos is played out. Just as occurred in 2016, the might of that paper is portrayed and now as we face war in Europe and the influence of oligarchs such as Evening Standard owner Evgeny Lebedev comes back to the fore, it is a reminder that there is once again a need for yet more bloody difficult women and perhaps some less bloody difficult men.
Ninety minutes long and without an interval, the play runs at Riverside Studios, 101 Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, London, W6 9BN until the 26th March with matinees and evening performances also. Tickets are priced at £35 per person.
Pictured top – Edmund Kingsley as Alan Miller with the ‘Daily Mail’s’ notorious ‘Enemies of The People’ headline behind him; Jessica Turner as Theresa May and Amara Karan as Gina Miller.
Andrew Woodall as Paul Dacre, the then editor of the ‘Daily Mail’ and the editor-in-chief of DMG Media, the publisher of the ‘Daily Mail,’ ‘The Mail on Sunday,’ the ‘MailOnline’ and ‘Metro.’Edmund Kingsley as business titan Alan Miller, Jessica Turner as the then Prime Minister Theresa May, Graham Seed as the fictional civil servant Sir Hugh Rosen with Andrew Woodall as Paul Dacre in the background.The ‘Mirror’s’ Kevin Maguire described ‘Bloody Difficult Women’ as “bloody brilliant.” He commented that he “particularly enjoyed the cursing Paul Dacre whio made life hell for both” Theresa May and Gina Miller.
Playing a real, living, breathing character can be daunting.
The play gets its title from Ken Clarke – now The Right Honourable The Lord Clarke of Nottingham CH QC PC – having described Theresa May as a “bloody difficult woman” and added of her, in conversation with Sir Malcolm Rifkind on Sky News, “but you and I have worked for Margaret Thatcher.”‘Evening Standard’ proprietor Evgeny Lebedev – now The Right Honourable Baron Lebedev of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames and Siberia in the Russian Federation – with Boris Johnson. The successor of Theresa May’s chum and son of Alexander Lebedev – a man who describes himself as an “ex-oligarch” – tellingly hosted Johnson at a party on the day he became Prime Minister and also keeps a wolf of the same name (though that is named after Boris Yeltsin) as an “exotic pet.”As the tyrant President Vladimir Putin continues his war in Ukraine, it must also be remembered that he and his deviant oligarch cronies are amongst of the biggest beneficiaries of Brexit.
This to remind you is what Mrs Tice aka Isabel Oakeshott has to say about Arron Banks, the source of Farage’s funds. She wrote this in Nov 17 but I only put it into public domain 2 days ago. https://t.co/mwzEPP0jREpic.twitter.com/s4L0WmXukE
I hope people will start to understand why it was so hard writing about this story because it defied all credibility, you literally couldn’t have made this shit up.
The biggest owner of GB News, Christopher Chandler, was named in Parliament as a suspected Russian agent. His brother admitted they were close to the Kremlin.
Matthew Steeples revisits the Prime Minister’s wife Carrie Johnson’s curious links to Russians, sexual exposes and hoaxers and suggests she’s definitely also living in a ‘Carrie On Up (The) Ukraine’ style
Ukrainians do not like their sovereign country being called “the Ukraine” and quite rightly point out that those that do such denigrate them to being considered “the borderland” of Russia. Referencing “the Ukraine” is neither grammatically or politically correct, but one person who is living a Carrie On Up (The) Ukraine lifestyle is most definitely Carrie Johnson.
Rather like the especially unappealing Lady Joan Ruff-Diamond – played by the self-professed “queen of puddings” Joan Sims (1930 – 2001) – in the risqué comedy Carry On Up the Khyber, the former Miss Symonds (AKA ‘Carrie On Regardless,’ ‘Princess Nut Nut’ and ‘Anne Boleyn’) turned Britain’s “feckless first lady” is also known for chucking wine and other household items at her husband.
Equally, Mrs Johnson can most definitely be said to be living a life that is definitely a play on the words of the 1968 film’s title – “Khyber” being short for “Khyber Pass” and that being rhyming slang for “arse” – in that she has recently been made a complete arse of both online and by Lord Ashcroft also.
In First Lady: Intrigue at the Court of Carrie and Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister’s wife is portrayed as a political operator known for “her evident ambition” and for being “a rather divisive figure.” She is exposed for making her husband “miserable” and noted for showing her “anger” towards him; Lord Ashcroft goes as far even to note: “Carrie is ‘the No 1 problem’ in Johnson’s administration… Her actions have adversely affected other women’s careers.”
As the people of Ukraine bravely try to save themselves and their homeland, it must also be remembered that the man in charge in Britain is also the head of a party that has not only taken copious amounts of money from Russian oligarchs, but he is one also whose wife has had close links with Russian organisations too.
Prior to her marriage, the then Carrie Symonds – who has also been employed by Oceana, a charity heavily supported by the now convicted mucky madam sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell – dated a man named Oliver Haiste (sometimes spelt ‘Haste’) between 2007 and 2010.
In October 2016, Haiste and his close chum, Henry Hopwood-Phillips – an individual once not so charmingly accused of flashing his “tumescent member” and an individual with strong links to the far-right, racist Traditional Britain Group (TBG) – were exposed by BBC Monitoring’s Stephen Ennis for an £8.3 million “hoax” involving the Russian news corporation Pravda International.
Subsequently, in June 2019, Haiste returned to the media to blab to The Mail on Sunday about his “tumultuous” and “highly charged” ex-lover and remarked: “I found when times were good with Carrie, they were great – they were fantastic. When were bad, they were awful,” but what is really relevant is that the Prime Minister’s wife attended the launch of the Conservative Friends of Russia at the Embassy of Russia in Kensington, London in August 2012.
Curiously, amongst others present at that particular shindig were the current Mrs Johnson’s dominatrix loving subsequent boss from May 2015, John Whittingdale MP, as well as Matthew Elliott FRSA, later chief executive officer of Vote Leave. How much vodka was downed that night remains unknown, but what is clear is that the Conservative Friends of Russia subsequently issued a press release attacking the Labour MP Chris Bryant and showing him in his Y-fronts in a photo taken from the gay ‘dating’ site Grindr.
The Conservative Friends of Russia later rebranded itself as the Westminster Russia Forum and has also counted amongst its supporters former Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans MP and former Defence and Foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind. Yet again, illustration is provided as to ‘Carrie’s Curious Connections.’
Pictured top – Carrie Johnson in her younger days carrying on and boozing for Britain (left); Sid James and Joan Sims in ‘Carry On Up the Khyber’ (right).
In the 1968 film, the wife of the protagonist Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, Queen Victoria’s Governor in India, is known for abusively chucking things at her husband. The current British Prime Minister’s wife has been known for having visitations from the police after performing such antics.Equally, rather like the characters in the film, Boris Johnson’s latest baby mama has been known for debauchery in her past.The Prime Minister’s wife with his lover between 2007 and 2010, Oliver Haiste. Of how they got on before their “not particular amicable” ending, the alleged Pravda hoaxer commented: “It was a highly passionate relationship. And I don’t mean that in a salacious, physical sense. I mean in terms of emotional context – very emotionally charged. It’s the most up and down relationship I have had. Any relationship with Carrie or friendship with Carrie is very intense and can often burn brightly. It’s never boring. She often brings a lot of intensity to relationships, be they romantic or friendships. That passion can work the other way when she is not happy with you.”The vile and utterly reprehensible bigoted Traditional Britain Group (TBG), of which Haiste’s friend Henry Hopwood-Phillips was at one time a leading light, is known for its bigoted views. Aside from its convicted thief from the NHS chairman Gregory Lauder-Frost having had a pop at feminism on one occasion, this rotten to its core far-right organisation has expressed views about deporting all immigrants going back many generations and hanging Baroness Doreen Lawrence from a tree even also.Both the Prime Minister’s spouse and the now convicted criminal sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell were heavily involved in the charity Oceana. The latter, a licensed submarine pilot, stands accused of using her abilities in that arena to sex traffic young girls for her lover Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful politician and businessmen mates to abuse with her on his Caribbean islands, Little St James and Great St James.The Prime Minister’s wife became involved in Oceana in 2018. Leading supporter of the charity and fundraiser for it also Ghislaine Maxwell, meanwhile, was not arrested until 2nd July 2020 so though it is unknown if they did, it is quite possible that their paths could have crossed during those two years.
As President Putin invades Ukraine, we highlight some of the worst apologists for Russia in Britain and what they’ve had to say about this tyrant and his rotten regime – amongst them Arron Banks, Bernie Ecclestone and Nigel Farage
“With friends like these, who needs enemies?” comes to mind of three British born buffoons right now. Those buffoons? Disruptive businessman Arron Banks, former head honcho of Formula One Bernie Ecclestone and ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
As the Russian tanks role into Ukraine and countless thousands are killed and injured by the tyrannical aggressor Vladimir Putin, it must be remembered that there are some in the United Kingdom who actually are fans of the current regime’s monster-in-chief.
Mildest of the three in his offerings past on Putin’s Russia is surprisingly Banks – who happens to be married to a Russian – who blames the West for having “humiliated” a country that covers 11% of the landmass of the world, but for Ecclestone and Farage, “the 21st century Hitler” is something of a hero.
In July 2019, Ecclestone remarked: ““If someone had a machine gun and was prepared to shoot Putin, I would stand in front of him because he’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people” and going further added:
“Honestly, I think the guy who be running Europe, impressed me more than anything, is Mr Putin because he’s a guy that says he’s going to do something and does it… [He’s] a first-class person.”
“He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do… He wants to put Russia back to what it was.”
In March 2014, the fruitcake that is Nigel Farage – who in the last 24 hours ludicrously claimed the invasion of Ukraine has been entirely caused by the EU and NATO trying to “poke the Russian bear with a stick” and suggested: “If Vladimir Putin’s one demand is that we state clearly that Ukraine is not going to join Nato, why don’t we do it?” – said of Putin: “As an operator [I admire him]. The whole way he played Syria. Brilliant.”
Bernie Ecclestone has met the Russian leader on numerous occasions and the two clearly are birds of a rotten feather.Aside from expressing admiration for Putin, Nigel Farage is rather a fan of another nutjob politician, Donald Trump.Arron Banks clearly is more concerned about himself than the situation in Ukraine. The crackpot crazy businessman clearly thinks the war is a bit of a laughing matter also.
ARRON BANKS’S WORST MOMENTS
Once quite rightly termed a “nobody” by William Hague, Arron Banks is currently in a legal suit with the courageous crusading columnist Carole Cadwalladr. He was expelled from two schools – once for stealing the lead off the roof – and is married to a Russian he met at a Britney Spears concert.
Of the war Russia is raging on Ukraine:
“Enjoy the war… Of course, it’s complex… Russia needs to cool its jets but people need to understand… The West humiliated Russia after the Cold War, ransacked its borders and behaved very badly. NATO and the EU on the Russian border was always going to provoke them.”
“The EU decided to play politics on Russia’s border, I don’t agree with the aggression but it’s a predictable reaction.”
On Sir Nicholas Soames, Sir Winston Churchill’s grandson:
“Tommy Two Belts Soames… Soames is a pompous old bore whose blind Europhilia would make Juncker blush. The only thing he and his fine ancestor have in common is their waistline.”
On President Donald Trump:
“[He] represents a new kind of politics and I think it’s coming [to Britain].”
Of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:
“I am convinced the Queen secretly loves [Farage] and would welcome him as a knight of the realm.”
On the late Duke of Edinburgh:
“A man with a great sense of humour.”
On New Labour and Bernie Ecclestone and other donors:
“Didn’t New Labour take a million pound bung from Bernie Ecclestone or promise British passports to a couple of Indian brothers?”
On Russian interference in the Brexit referendum:
“There was no Russian money and no interference of any type.”
On a meeting with a Russian ambassador with British-Belizean political activist Andy Wigmore:
“We’d been invited by a shady character called Oleg who we’d met in Doncaster at the UKIP conference… Our host wanted the inside track on the Brexit campaign… We shook hands and promised to meet again.”
Asked by the Electoral Commission about his involvement with Russians:
“My sole involvement with ‘the Russians’ was a boozy 6 hour lunch with the ambassador.”
On Cambridge Analytica:
“They devise psychological profiles of the electorate, using thousands of pieces of data to filter population into 150 personality types. With this information, you can tailor campaign material to particular groups… It may sound a bit creepy, but these days it’s how most political parties work.”
On the EU:
“A closed shop for bankrupt people.”
“[Membership] is like having a first-class ticket on the Titanic.”

On his and Andy Wigmore’s campaigning style:
“Wiggy and I like winging it.”
“Let’s play the ball, not the man.
On the coronavirus lockdown:

On facts:
“What [the American lobbying firm and referendum specialist Goddard Gunster] said early on was: ‘Facts don’t work,’ and that’s it… It just doesn’t work… It’s the Trump success.”
On Conservative to UKIP turncoat and now ex-MP Douglas Carswell:

On former Labour MP Chuka Umunna:
“[A] self-appointed spokesman for political correctness.”
On Jeremy Corbyn MP:
“He’s our greatest ally. Long live Jezza!”
Of actor Hugh Grant commenting on ‘PartyGate’ and Boris Johnson:
“Shagging hookers in the back of your car in public probably ranks worse than tea and cake in a boring office do.”
On the Conservatives he likes:
“The only two people I trust with carrying out the peoples’ wishes are Andrea Leadsom and Liam Fox.”
On spending limits in British elections:
“We’re supposed to be Great Britain, not a banana republic!”
On the Electoral Commission:
“The Electoral Commission should wind their necks in.”
On what he wants next for Britain:
“Immigration cap of 50,000, with a £5,000 deposit. The economy would explode. Singapore on steroids.”

On where he has been known to go late at night:
“I’m sorry to report that our last stop was a sleazy gay bar in Soho, the only place still open.”
BERNIE ECCLESTONE’S WORST MOMENTS
A poisonous penny-pinching dwarf and well-known as a “coffin dodger,” Bernie Ecclestone – a bestie of the man who paid £12 million to a woman he claims never to have met Prince Andrew – couldn’t give a damn about anything other than money. He’ll mouth off in support of anyone who might help him get just a little bit more.
On President Vladimir Putin:
“[He] should be running Europe… He should be in Brussels running Europe… We should get rid of Brussels and he should just be in charge.”
“Honestly, I think the guy who be running Europe, impressed me more than anything, is Mr Putin because he’s a guy that says he’s going to do something and does it… [He’s] a first-class person.”
“He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do… He wants to put Russia back to what it was.”
“I was with [Putin] after the [2014 Sochi Winter] Olympics on the top of the bloody mountain… We had a meeting, just the two of us, and we came out and we were walking along and people were coming up to him asking for an autograph… That’s what people think of him.”
“If someone had a machine gun and was prepared to shoot Putin, I would stand in front of him because he’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people.”
On President Putin’s intolerance to gay people in Russia:
“When I was at school, if you did something wrong, the teacher used to say: ‘Go and get the punishment book and the cane. Go to your headmistress and get a few whacks or something.’ That’s what he does.”
On President Donald Trump:
“I think he’d be fantastic [as President of the United States of America]. I’m sure he’s much more flexible than most of them. If he’s made a mistake, he’s more likely to say: ‘It was a good idea at the time.’”
“He has done a lot of good things for the world.”
On Adolf Hitler:
“Apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done… He wasn’t a dictator.”
On Jewish people:
“They have a lot of influence everywhere.”
On black people:
“In a lot of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are.”
Of democracy in the United Kingdom:
“If you have a look at a democracy it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries – including this one.”
Of his crackpot suggestion that the now late Max Mosley, son of the late Fascist Oswald Mosley, might have been Prime Minister of Great Britain:
“[He would have done] a super job… I don’t think his background would [have been] a problem.”
On Brexit:
“I’m 100% an outer.”
On his wealth:
“I’ve got enough I can do with my money.”
On following the rules:
“I never stopped breaking the rules.”
Asked if immigrants had made a contribution to the UK:
“They have not.”
On who is worth speaking to:

On journalists:
“I can’t remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.”
On social media:
“I think the change that is currently taking place is very short-lived, as these social media people are starting to think it is not as good as they thought.”
On waiters and prostitutes:
“Waiters are like hookers, never around when you want them.”
On women:
“You know, I’ve got one of those wonderful ideas… Women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.”
“What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish.”
On women participating in Formula 1:
“I don’t know whether a woman would physically be able to drive an F1 car quickly, and they wouldn’t be taken seriously.”
On Lewis Hamilton:
“I don’t find him particularly engaging… He’s not particularly you would say black.”
On the corrupt criminal and disgraced banker Gerhard Gribkowsky:
“Dear old Gribkowsky… I don’t blame him because I would have probably done the same if I could have done it. He found the weak spot, found some leverage and used it. You can’t blame somebody for doing that.”
On the individuals who kidnapped his mother-in-law:
“If I get upset, how could it help?”
On his business career and his family’s Bambino Holdings offshore trust:
“I’ve got the highest position there is. So high that when I look down, I can’t see anything.”
“Maybe the most serious thing I regret was giving my shares to my ex [Slavica Radić], because when she them all in a trust for her and the kids, I lost control.”
NIGEL FARAGE’S WORST MOMENTS
Though he thinks himself a “man of the people,” this big-mouthed braggart is actually more of a “man of the elite.” Prone to hanging around in Belgravia and Knightsbridge with his old convict chum ‘Posh George’ Cottrell – jailed in America in 2016 for wire fraud – Nigel Farage is prone to pontificating on almost any subject and supposedly, according to one of his school teachers, “marched through a quiet Sussex very late night shouting Hitler Youth songs” as a child.
On President Putin being his political idol:
“As an operator, but not as a human being, I would say Putin. The way he played the whole Syria thing. Brilliant.”
On President Barrack Obama:
“[A] loathsome individual.”
On President Donald Trump:
“A good President.”
“Dominated [Hillary Clinton] like a silverback gorilla.”
Reacting to a poster showing Adolf Hitler promoting the single currency:
“Politics needs a bit of spicing up.”
On the then European Union President Herman van Rompuy in 2010:

On the problems caused by immigration:
“[The M4] is no longer as navigable as it should be.”
On who should be allowed into Britain:
“People who do not have HIV, to be frank.”
On Romanian immigrants:
“Any normal and fair-minded person would have a perfect right to be concerned if a group of Romanian people suddenly moved in next door.”
On Muslim immigrants:
“[They are] coming here to take us over.”
On a UKIP candidate called a Chinese person a “Chinky”:
“If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what do you say you’re going for? … A lot would [say ‘Chinky’].”
On Scotland:
“A pretty ugly nation.”
On the Swiss:
“We wouldn’t want to be like the Swiss, would we? That would be awful. We’d be rich.”
On politics in general:
“We are the turkeys who have voted for Christmas.”
On people speaking in languages other than English on public transport:
“[Makes me feel] uncomfortable.”
On gun laws:
“Ludicrous.”
On global warming and climate change:
“A scam… We may have made one of the biggest and most stupid collective mistakes in history by getting so worried about global warming.”
On gay marriage:
“I think we’re opening up a very big can of worms here and I think there some very, very big risks… I do not support the idea of same sex marriages.”
On breastfeeding women:
“[They should] sit in the corner, or whatever it might be.”
On the banking crisis:
“The banking collapse was [not caused] by greed.”
On women in the workplace and maternity leave:
“A woman… is worth far less to her employer… Working mothers are worth less than men.”
“Maybe it’s because I’ve got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view.”
On being chased out of a pub in Kent by protestors:
“I hope these ‘demonstrators’ are proud of themselves. My children were so scared by their behaviour that they ran away to hide. At the time of writing this a relative has gone to look for them, and they are not yet at home. These people are scum.”
After being in a plane crash:
“Looking at the picture of me in the wreckage, note that I’ve still got my top button done up and my tie on.”
On the extra £350 million per week for the NHS Vote Leave claim:
“A mistake.”
On whether Brexit could be a failure:
“I never promised it would be a huge success.”
On what he’d do if Brexit fails:
“If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad. I’ll go and live somewhere else.”
On himself:
“I’ve been called a great many things in my time.”
According to a report by the Cornwall council, around 130 homeless people were forced to leave hotels in order to make room for 5,000 policemen in recent days. Some of them were moved to other temporary accommodation, only to be evicted once again.
One of the people evicted, who has schizophrenia, was forced to stay at a surf hostel. Her mother, Claire, who did not want her full name used, described the horrific conditions there: “The hostel is full of drunk surf dudes and holidaymakers. She is terrified – she thinks people are coming to get her. They have not even put in her a safe place. She has been treated abysmally.”
Going further, the distraught mother quite justifiably added: “What gives them the right to force vulnerable adults out of their accommodation?”
Local charity DISC Newquay has also reported that homeless people have been evicted from the luxury Carbis Bay Hotel, which sparked fury back in March for pulling down ancient woodland in order to make wave for redevelopment, despite being supposedly “eco-friendly” accommodation.
What these incidents show is a complete disregard for human wellbeing; what was the reasoning behind throwing homeless people out of hotels where it is safer for them to stay? There are around 1,343 hotels in Cornwall, meaning that there HAS to be enough room for members of police and government.
This is not the only problem currently plaguing the summit, as over the last couple of days, environmental activists have organised a series of protests in Cornwall, with one featuring protesters in Boris Johnson masks pushing a burning boat into the water with “YOUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE” written on it in order to convince the delegates to tackle ocean pollution.
In addition, 80 activists have set off on a 6-day walk from Plymouth Hoe to Carbis Bay in an attempt to convince the delegates to prioritise climate change agenda during the summit, with some of them from the Extinction Rebellion.
I also see very little point in the existence of the Group of Seven, because they seem to meet every year or so and yet achieve very little in terms of global policy. It’s been eons since they pledged to tackle climate change, and yet corporations are still pumping oil and contributing the global warming. The EU has done more to tackle climate change, and its existence in my opinion is more beneficial than the existence of the sockless G7.
Pictured above: The Carbis Bay Hotel – a supposedly ‘eco-friendly’ venue that will host the Group of Seven meeting that has also taken to disgracefully chopping down trees to make way for a parade of pointless politicians.
The Carbis Bay Hotel has quite rightly been targeted by protestors determined to show it as anything but ‘eco friendly’ and anything but supportive of its very own locals. That this business, to suit the short-term visit of a bunch of egomaniac politicians, has shut out locals and destroyed trees for a set of rooms that haven’t even got proper planning permission is utterly disgraceful. The Carbis Bay Hotel deserves nothing but the grief that it is quite deservedly getting.‘The Convenient Catholic Couple’ Mr and Mrs Boris Johnson will use the G7 summit as the first opportunity of their union to laud it over the world. This shameless puppet mistress and her sidekick will most likely find a way to embarrass Britain only further.
Gerry and Kate McCann rake in £773,600 of private money in spite of admitting there is “nothing much to report” 14 years into the fast approaching £13 million public funded investigation into the dubious ‘disappearance’ of their daughter Madeleine
Not content with having garnered over £12.5 million in public funding for the police investigation with a further £300,000 top-up likely to come soon, it has this week been revealed that Gerry and Kate McCann’s privately administered fund now has an astonishing net worth of £773,629.
Whilst last week, Dr and Mrs McCann told the Mirror that they “still believe in miracles,” in a post on the ‘Official Find Madeleine Campaign’ Facebook page the particularly pugnacious pair also had to admit of the investigation: “Nothing much to report.”
Previously, a ‘friend’ (‘unnamed,’ of course, as is so often the case with anyone speaking on behalf of those close to the case of missing Madeleine McCann) of Dr and Mrs McCann remarked:
“Kate and Gerry know the police investigation cannot go on forever.”
“When [the police investigation] is shelved, and if there is no result, Kate and Gerry will use money in the fund to continue the hunt.”
“That is what it is there for. They paid for their own team of private investigators initially and when the official inquiry ends they will do so again although in the past it has proven to be extremely costly.”
Today, again, we ask: “Why does so much public money continue to be wasted on an investigation that has achieved nothing in 14 years and why is another £300,000 about to be given from the public purse when other missing person searches get little to nothing? Why is this disproportionate allocation of taxpayer funded resources allowed to go on?”
The Money of McCann – Ben Needham, then aged just 1, disappeared on the Greek island of Kos on 24th July 1991. He has been missing for over 29 year and in the time since his mother, Kerry Needham, has shockingly come under attack from supporters of the family of Madeleine McCann. Of this in October 2015, she commented: “It feels like a personal attack on me. It is deeply, deeply hurtful. I have myself had massive amounts of slanderous abuse from supporters of the McCann campaign in the past but I have never taken that personally. It’s freedom of speech. But it is getting the names of two missing children out there which is really important.”The Money of McCann – Luke Durbin disappeared aged just 19 in Suffolk in May 2006. In spite of his mother’s tireless campaign to attempt to find her vanished son, why don’t the police devote more resources to the search for him?The Money of McCann – Martin Allen vanished without a trace in London on 5th November 1979 aged just 15. Though his brother, Kevin Allen, has kept the case in the public eye as much as he can, he gets little to no help from the Metropolitan Police. Again today, we ask: “Why isn’t money from the public purse allocated to solving this case and thousands like it and why, instead, has fast approaching £13 million been allocated to a case that has not been solved in 14 years?”
The Money of McCann – In September 2018, Ben Needham’s mother Kerry quite rightly told ITV1’s ‘Loose Women’ that “it hurts” that so much money has been allocated to the search for Madeleine McCann whilst so little has been given to aid help other families find their missing relatives. She added: “[Madeleine] deserves to be found, but so does Ben. We haven’t had a fraction, I’ve had to fight alone as a single mum and try to get the help that Ben deserves… I don’t take anything away from anyone who’s got a loved one who is missing, but every single one deserves to be found.”
Lady Victoria Hervey shows herself to be a contradictory cretin by selling PPE but refusing to wear a mask herself; she fails to mention her ex-lover Prince Andrew or links to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
In June 2020, we made Lady Victoria Hervey our ‘Moron of the Moment’ after she stupidly stated “f**k black lives matter” and yesterday this one-time chum of mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell went and slammed her non-woke wellies in the proverbial again in an interview with the Daily Mail’s Francis Hardy.
A short-lived lover of non-sweating Prince Andrew, yet rejected (she claims) as “too old” by his now croaked paedophile ‘bestie’ Jeffrey Epstein, the brainbox with more knowledge than scientists that is Lady Victoria told Hardy of COVID-19:
“It’s completely hyped! The biggest worldwide conspiracy that ever happened.”
“I’m not going to lie, I never wear [face masks]… The security guard in [a] shop called me over and told me I had to leave because I didn’t have one on. I stormed out… I believe in natural immunity… [It’s] Bill Gates’ goal to bring out this vaccine to depopulate the world.”
Going further and aside from declaring: “I’m not going to be a lab rat,” Lady Victoria – who herself ran a business selling PPE at the start of the pandemic – excused the fact that no sane man would want her by adding: “It’s really hard to have relationships in LA.”
This half-witted wench then banged on about getting herself a sperm donor, “cried” about Lady Gaga’s dogs being abducted (but made no mention of the poor dog walker who himself got shot) and sadly for Brits, announced that soon she’ll be returning to our shores.
God help us all and please now, Los Angeles – Keep ‘Lady Twit Girl,’ we’ll be forever grateful.
Pictured top: Lady Victoria Hervey with the deservedly currently incarcerated alleged sexual abuser and trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The charming delight that was the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson described the former as “unpleasant” and “a right snob.”
Wally of the Week – Lady Victoria Hervey pictured with the Duke of York. That even ‘Randy Andy’ ultimately decided her not to be for him speaks volumes.
Classic clangers from former ‘It Girl’ Lady Victoria Hervey
“I am Lady Victoria Hervey – it doesn’t get more British than that.”
“Unless it’s champagne, I can’t handle it.”
“I’m an A-list celebrity and this is a C-list party.”
“I do have a day job.”
“My career always goes much better when I haven’t got a man.”
“A baby is easy – you hand them over to a nanny!”
“I’m kind of into star signs and I want my baby to have a sign that’s compatible with mine. It’s to plan though… We’ll just have to see… We’ll do the embryos and then I’ll figure out which month I’d like the baby to be born.”
“I’m not stupid. I’m not a dumb model.”
“[I aim to become] the next Kate Winslet – but with class.”
“I have had four past lives, three of them as a man. I was a composer in 17th-century Paris, I made materials in India and in Ancient Greece I was a famous politician. In Ancient Egypt I was keeper of the oils for the Pharaoh’s wife, and I love oils so it all kind of fits.”
“I feel I’ve aged 100 years in lockdown. I’ve had Botox, of course.”
“What annoys me is when these families have got like 12 children and we’re paying for these kids… They work out that they make more money being on the dole than having a job, they just laze around.”
“The real irony of this is that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.”
“Travelling is in my blood, and so is liking luxurious things and spending.”
“I haven’t given up on men, there are a few of them around, but I keep leaving every city I meet them in.”
“Everyone from Europe wants to buy houses in LA.”
“I was too old for Jeffrey Epstein… [He seemed] very charming… He was a very well-liked guy.”
“I’m not one of those kind of girls, I don’t like going to dinners with ten models invited… I was very young and impressionable, Jeffrey was a very charismatic man.”
“I haven’t seen [Ghislaine Maxwell] since September [2018] at a friend’s baby shower… I don’t think anyone is going to find her. She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her… I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.”
“I had no idea what was going on [with Jeffrey Epstein]… It’s extraordinary it’s the case, it’s a wild story.”
“I suddenly thought, I’m just Victoria Hervey… Horrible.”
“I don’t want to make enemies.”
Wally of the Week – Lady Victoria Hervey defended Prince Andrew on ‘Good Morning Britain’ in November 2019. At the time, she ludicrously claimed her other mate Ghislaine Maxwell would “never be seen again.” Nobody anywhere will be calling upon her psychic powers ever again on that basis.
“I don’t hack, I just have a great rack” rent-a-gob Madeline Grant’s attack on Gina Miller is uncalled for and below the standard of what one expects from ‘The Telegraph’
The Telegraph’s Madeline Grant uses the nickname ‘Madz’ on Twitter and that moniker definitely reflects her acerbic personality.
Aside from bizarrely describing herself as a “Janeite, cardigan fanatic and James Bond bore. Mastermind semi-finalist” on her handle, this chippy assistant comment editor decided to have a go at Gina Miller this morning and claimed: “I couldn’t care less about [her].”
Mockingly referencing Miller as “(Re)Gina,” Grant – a woman who was disciplined whilst at Oxford for using the slogan: “I don’t hack. I just have a great rack” as part of her campaign to become the Union Librarian (she was later fined £120) – announced:
“Legal commentators are calling for a statue of (Re)Gina Miller to be erected in Parliament Square. Gloating Remainers cannot see – or prefer to ignore – the blind fury they are stoking among the general public.”
“At a time of political turmoil, I’m not impressed that those tasked with scrutiny are buying into a convenient ‘girl power’ narrative. Miller, an investment fund manager, has often played the plucky underdog, claiming she was moved to action when her 11-year-old son told her: ‘You’re going to do something, mummy, you always do.’ This schmaltz obscures what she really is – the figurehead for a group of super rich backers.”
“Speaking as a woman, I couldn’t care less about her gender. I care that activists are using their wealth and influence to block a democratic outcome.”
On Twitter, this poison pen went further and shared an image of the lady she plainly has little to no understanding of. She accompanied it with a silly message: “Tonight Matthew, I’m going to be Shania Twain #thatdontimpressmemuch”
Shame on this mouthy millennial minx. “Deeply offensive” and “damaging to women” Madeline Grant ought to go back to where she belongs: The school playground.
