Ghastly mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell is not doing herself any favours in moaning about her new living arrangements in prison
Ghislaine Maxwell has plainly always been a spoilt brat. Her evil conman father treated her far better than his other children and indication of his preferential treatment of this ghastly wench was provided by the fact he renamed a yacht he bought in 1987 in her honour.
Now quite rightly incarcerated as she awaits trial for sex-trafficking underage girls, the mucky madam has been moaning about her prison conditions according to a report in The Indian Express.
In comments yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein’s procurer’s lawyer, Christian Everdell, complained about ‘Bouncing Bob’s’ daughter having been “forced to wear special clothing” and remarked:
“Ms. Maxwell is being treated worse than other similarly situated pretrial detainees, which significantly impacts her ability to prepare a defense [sic].”
“[She] continues to be surveilled 24 hours a day by security cameras and by multiple prison guards. These prison guards constantly observe Ms. Maxwell and take notes on her every activity, including her phone conversations with defense [sic] counsel.”
No longer able to join in with such events as the Cash & Rocket rally – which ironically was all about “[uniting] us all through female empowerment and solidarity” – Maxwell’s fall from grace is deservedly complete. What is now more important, however, is whether she’ll finally do the decent thing and turn up the heat on Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump amongst others.
Ghastly Ghislaine – Robert Maxwell purchased the boat he named in his daughter’s honour from Emad Khashoggi. He fell off the back of the ‘Lady Ghislaine’ and drowned – if standard reporting is to be believed – on 5th November 1991. The gin palace is now named the ‘Dancing Hare’ and sleeps upto 12 guests with a crew of 13.
As Donald Trump repeats his good wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell and associates jump to justify why they chose to be connected, it becomes clear these people happily ignored what was so obviously in front of them
Whilst Donald Trump has ludicrously “wished [Ghislaine Maxwell] well” in yet another interview, one can only surmise that the 45th President knows that the incarcerated mucky madam is a genuine danger to his business interests and political prospects.
Speaking to Axios’sJonathan Swan on Tuesday, Trump, when asked about his previous “good wishes,” went further than prior. In response to the interviewer enquiring: “Why would you do that?” came:
“Firstly, I don’t know that, but I do know that her friend or boyfriend Epstein was either killed or committed suicide in jail.”
“She’s now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I’d wish you well, I’d wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove that somebody was guilty. Do you know she was guilty?”
The 45th POTUS continued:
“Her boyfriend died in jail and people are still trying to figure out how did that happen. Was it suicide? Was he killed? And I do wish her well and I’m not looking at anything bad for her. I’m not looking bad for anybody.”
“And they took that and they made such a big deal and all it is is that her boyfriend died in jail. Was he killed? Was it suicide? I wish her well.”
Aside from the fact that Trump repeatedly emphasised the links between Epstein and Maxwell as “boyfriend” and thus “girlfriend” – which suggests he is keen to distinctly intertwine them and distance himself personally – he unsurprisingly did not bring up that he and Trump once were the only two men present at a ‘party’ where 28 women were paraded before them, for example.
Facing electoral uncertainty, Donald Trump knows that Ghislaine Maxwell could sing like a canary and whilst trying to appear graceful like a swan, is actually peddling like crazy underneath. ‘Bouncing Bob’s’ vile daughter is truly the ultimate threat to his presidential future and elsewhere, in this morning’s Daily Mail another example of a turncoat happy to associate with the gruesome duo when times were good came.
Claiming to be “young, naïve and lucky to escape,” Clemmie Hambro gave an interview talking of how and why she’d ended up in the now infamous address book and in now unsealed travel logs that show she went to both ‘Paedo Island’ and Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico.
“My heart breaks for all the surviors” blubbed this aristocrat whom unbelievably added: “I didn’t really enjoy myself there.” All one is left thinking is: “If it was so bad the first time, why did you go back for more?”
With friends like these, who’d need enemies; this entire cesspit needs clearing… And then, next and even worse, there’s the Clintons… No good wishes are required for a single one of them.
Good Wishes Ghislaine – Donald Trump’s links to both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were clear. He has been pictured with them both on many occasions.Good Wishes Ghislaine – Bill Clinton also has much to fear from the incarcerated mucky madam Maxwell. He even took the infamous ‘Lolita Express’ on occasions and in spite of his denials, records prove to the contrary.Good Wishes Ghislaine – Whilst Clemmie Hambro is perfectly entitled to justify why she ended up in the infamous Epstein-Maxwell address book, one has to question why – if she thought these people so ghastly – she went back for more. Plainly, here was a woman blinded by the connections, power and wealth of the pugnacious pair; it does not make her guilty of anything, but the interview did her no favours at all.
That Donald Trump is “wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well” speaks volumes
Ghislaine Maxwell plainly knows a lot about a lot of people. Whether that “lot” will enable her to sink others remains to be seen, but the fact that Donald Trump has come out and said: “I wish Ghislaine well, frankly” speaks volumes as to how worried he is about what she might reveal next.
The facts that are clear: Trump and Maxwell have met on many occasions, they have been photographed together on many occasions and they are both narcistic attention seekers. Both of them spent time in the presence of women that were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and both of them plainly believed, at one point, that the paedophile was a “terrific guy.”
Now, for Trump, the sticky conundrum is how to develop a strategy to distance himself from ‘Bouncing Bob’s’ daughter. Caged and having all the time in the world to reflect, this mucky madam may decide to play the Trump card, but equally, she may throw Bill Clinton under the bus. She might, indeed, throw both presidents under that bus also.
Donald Tump has plainly decided the best form of defence is an attempt at pleasantry, but will it pay off? Stranger things have indeed happened.
Ghislaine Maxwell should not be given bail given she most definitely has the means and motive to flee; the case of Carlos Ghosn is proof that people of her wealth have and will run
Given Carlos Ghosn, the former head of Nissan and Renault, managed to escape in a musical box on a private plane while on bail, it seems ludicrous that a court in America is even considering releasing Ghislaine Maxwell on bail.
Whilst lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s madam claims she is at risk of catching coronavirus in the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn and isn’t a flight risk, prosecutors should take into account that she managed to evade authorities and the media for the last year. It has this morning been revealed that she “kept [her] phone wrapped in tin foil and ran from FBI during [her] arrest.” Here, indeed is a woman who is devious and degenerate and most definitely, as was the case also with her conman father ‘Bouncing Bob,’ not to be trusted.
Whilst Maxwell is offering £4 million ($5 million, €4.4 million or درهم18.4 million) in assets as a bond, prosecutors are right to point out that she is an “extreme risk” because of the possible long prison term she faces, her wealth, her multiple passports and her multiple citizenships. She has, as they rightly point out, “absolutely no reason to stay.” On that basis, this mucky madam should be kept in jail and she must also be kept away from anything that would give her the ability to “do the convenient thing” for the likes of Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and others and end her life.
Matthew Steeples questions why Alan Dershowitz is getting so enthusiastic in his defence of the vile paedo procurer Ghislaine Maxwell
Those of us that knew the late Claus von Bülow (1926 – 1929) and those that watched Reversal of Fortune – the superb film portrayal of his two trials in connection to his alleged attempted murder of his heiress wife Sunny in 1980 (she eventually died after having been in a coma for over 27 years in 2008) – will of course recall his association with the rookie lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
In that film, Dershowitz is portrayed as a man who fights for the underdog; he’s a hero (in spite of whom he is defending), in fact. Now, years after morphing into a fully-fledged member of the establishment, it seems, this civil libertarian has sadly moved to the ‘dark side.’
In an article for the Spectator USA, published on Thursday, titled: “The Ghislaine I Know,” Dershowitz enthusiastically droned on about how he and his wife were “introduced to Ghislaine Maxwell by Sir Evelyn and Lady Lynne de Rothschild.” He continued: “We subsequently met her… generally in the presence of prominent people such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nobel Prize-winning scientists, presidents of universities, and prominent academic and business people” (thus hinting that this made the paedophile procurer actually ‘respectable’).
Dershowitz – himself a man accused, but not convicted, of offences linked to Epstein and Maxwell – demanded ‘Bouncing Bob’s’ daughter be “like every other arrested person, she must be presumed innocent” (which is fair enough), but then proceeded to trash victims the monster Epstein had already been convicted of abusing.
Continuing with his “everyone should keep an open mind about Maxwell” angle, the lawyer illustrated himself to be utterly out of touch. As the financier Euan Rellie, described as “a British investment banker who knew Maxwell in both London and New York” in a Vanity Fair article about Thursday’s arrest, tweeted Friday: “This guy @AlanDersh is protesting way too much.”

Another friend coming to the ‘Murky Mucky Madam Maxwell’s’ defence – Ghislaine Maxwell’s “friend” Christopher Mason told the ‘New York Post’ on Saturday: “Do I think she’s in danger. Yes. In a way, I can’t imagine her ever giving up Prince Andrew, but if it’s life imprisonment with no hope of parole, it might be tempting. She of all of those people knew who slept with whom and [which young girl] was assigned to whom.” Mr Mason – who has performed songs in honour of Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian’s arse – continued: “I’m sure she has access to the videos. A lot of powerful people will be more than a little worried. I hope [Maxwell won’t] end up like Epstein. I’m a little worried about that. I think she’s in danger. There is too much power involved if she really talks.”Fresh from being interviewed by ‘Vanity Fair’s’ Mark Seal about Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday, Eton and Cambridge educated financier Euan Rellie took to Twitter on Friday in the wake of Alan Dershowitz’s ‘Spectator’ article. He quite correctly observed: “This guy @AlanDersh is protesting way too much.”A Rolodex like no other – Ghislaine Maxwell’s tentacles reached everywhere. This octopus like woman is pictured here at a dinner in Miami Beach, Florida hosted by the controversial New York real-estate tycoon Aby Rosen (centre) with the fashion designer Calvin Klein (left) amongst fellow guests.
Alan Dershowitz was played by Ron Silver in the 1990 American drama film ‘Reversal of Fortune’ with Jeremy Irons as Claus von Bülow and Glenn Close as Sunny von Bülow. The 111-minute film grossed £12.3 million at the box office and was lauded for its “exceptional performances” and “cunning script.”
Just as ultimate dumbo Lady Victoria Hervey shows herself up in stating “Fuck Black Lives Matter,” fellow aristo Dr. Bendor Grosvenor calls for the return of objects “looted during the British Empire”
Dimwitted dope Lady Victoria Hervey just cannot help but shove her stilettos straight into the proverbial. Whether be it her short-lived relationship with “he who doesn’t sweat in Pizza Express (Woking branch’)” ‘Randy’ Prince Andrew, or flogging knickers in her long since gone-bust shop in Knightsbridge displaying the words “Yes Please” across the crotch, here is a woman with utterly no shame and an utter incapacity to accept any kind of blame for her own failings.
Formerly nicknamed ‘Toff Totty Vicky,’ Lady Victoria predictably showed herself up by banging on about her associations with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell last year. This weekend, the bubbly blonde went further in posting a picture of the defaced statute of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia on her Instagram page. She not-so charmingly captioned the snap: “Don’t ever tell me this is acceptable behavior [sic]. Fuck BLM [Black Lives Matter].”
Described by even a fellow socialite, the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, as “unpleasant” and “a right snob” previously, “luxury is in my blood” Lady Victoria was contradicted by the Reverend Robert W. Lee IV, the general’s great-great-grandson. He “gave his blessing for the monument to be removed” on Thursday according to the BBC and asked: “If today is not the right time, when will it be the right time [to remove the statue]?”
Going further of this situation on Twitter on Sunday, though talking in the context of the related British protests, fellow aristocrat Dr. Bendor Grosvenor – a distant relative of the present Duke of Westminster and a man best known for his stint on the BBC’s Fake or Fortune? art documentary series – tweeted:
“Let the Colston statue’s removal be a prompt for councils and museums across Britain to take action to remove similar artworks from display, *as well as* returning the thousands of cultural objects looted during the British Empire. Start now. We’ve waited too long.”
Sadly, yet not unsurprisingly, Lady Victoria – whose ancestor Frederick Hervey, 1stMarquess of Bristol ironically is best remembered as a “social reformer” and “an MP [who] voted for the abolition of slavery in 1807” – has previous form. In 2003, this ‘aristoprat’ stated: “It’s so bad being homeless in winter. They should go somewhere warm like the Caribbean where they can eat fresh fish all day.”
Shame on this irrelevant ignoramus; it’s not Black Lives that don’t matter, it’s instead Victoria Hervey that doesn’t matter.

One responded: “Wait, hold up Lady are you saying Fuck Black Lives ???” Another added: “But think you got to be careful saying fuck BLM… That’s not acceptable TBH. It’s offensive.” Dr. Bendor Grosvenor’s, by contrast, sensible tweet.
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 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 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.”
“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.”

The Steeple Times examines Archilochus’ concept of ‘foxes’ and ‘hedgehogs and applies such to modern day personalities
According to the Greek poet Archilochus: “The fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing.” Isaiah Berlin explored this premise in greater detail in his 1953 essay The Hedgehog and the Fox and identified ‘hedgehogs’ as those that “view the world through the lens of a single defining idea” and ‘foxes’ as those that “draw on a wide variety of experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea.”
Berlin’s examples of ‘hedgehogs’ numbered Friedrich Nietzsche, Henrik Ibsen and Marcel Proust whilst for ‘foxes’ he chose such individuals as James Joyce, Aleksandr Pushkin and William Shakespeare.
Here, below, we apply the same analysis and chose fifteen modern day figures that are representative of each characteristic and curiously reveal a ‘third way’ that for once isn’t connected to Tony Blair: ‘The Neither Nors’ that sadly dominate our society.
