  • Bailey Bombs to 64/1

    Bailey Bombs to 64/1

    As ingeniously ironic Old Harrovian wannabe Mayor of London Max Fosh photobombs his fellow Old Harrovian grumpy groaner rival Laurence Fox, their clapped-out Conservative rival Shaun Bailey sinks to likely 3rd place at odds of 64/1

    Late last month, Conservative candidate Shaun Bailey’s chances of becoming the next Mayor of London looked to be improving. Whilst odds on him winning were just 45/1 in January, they’d moved to 31/1 and later to 25/1  – in spite of an endorsement from the irksome, well-known associate of dildo floggers, Karren Brady.

     

    Things seemed to finally be swinging in this bombastic berk’s favour, but now, today, Oddschecker shows he’s retreated into third behind Labour’s laughable Sadiq Khan (1/16) and independent oddity Brian Rose (18/1). Today, Bailey stands at an astonishing 64/1 whilst the Liberal Democrats’ Luisa Porritt has sunk to 999/1.

     

    Elsewhere, earlier this week with a supposed £5 million behind him courtesy of a Vote Leave donor named Jeremy Hosking, angry ex-actor Laurence Fox (250/1) launched his campaign whilst being driven around on a red London bus emblazoned with “Free London. Vote for Laurence Fox. Your London. Your freedom. Reclaim it.”

     

    Amusingly, making a complete mockery of him, a seemingly likeable young chap named Max Fosh (100/1) has come forward and raised the £10,000 deposit required to run. The 26-year-old, who studied at Harrow School with Fox, wrapped his car with text that read “Don’t Believe Everything You See On A Bus” and photobombed Fox’s bus.

     

    Shared subsequently on his YouTube channel and watched already by just under 100,000 viewers, Fosh turned up at Fox’s launch event with his car and then introduced himself to the Reclaim leader.

     

    Speaking to The Tab subsequently of his “Max Fosh to Mash Fox” campaign on Friday, Fosh explained:

     

    “The reason I want to beat Laurence is because he seems like a very upset man. He’s a bit of a grumpy guy…. Politics is just a cesspit of name-calling and anger, and it’s just going to make Laurence grumpier. So, I want to beat Laurence in this election to get him out of politics and get him back to doing what he does best.”

     

    “It’s basically a philanthropic mission at this point. Wouldn’t it be nice to see more of such kindness and sincerity in politics today?”

     

    Today, given the quality of candidates on offer in this election is so dire and thus Khan’s likelihood of returning as Mayor is sadly so high, we urge those eligible to do the only sensible thing left available in the absence of our long since departed favoured choice Rory Stewart. Please don’t spoil your vote, but instead back Max Fosh as you first choice and Count Binface as your second.

     

    Doing so on the 6th May 2021 will send a signal to Laurence Fox that in spite of the millions of pounds in wonga behind him, he shouldn’t be in charge of a bus ticket let alone a capital city, but it’ll also do something else: It’ll tell the Tory Party that they made the worst of choices in Shaun Bailey and it might persuade them not to put a twerp of such epic proportions on a ballot paper ever again.

His appalling record as one of the laziest members of the London Assembly should have been a warning that Bailey was an insubstantial dud.”

  • Is Covid Racist?

    Is Covid Racist?

    Channel 4’s decision to show a documentary provocatively titled: ‘Is Covid Racist’ tonight is neither clever nor appropriate argues Matthew Steeples

    In a move plainly designed to engender themselves to the ‘woke’ generation at the same time as seeking to stoke the fury of Laurence Fox and the dregs of whatever, if anything, that is left of the BNP, tonight at 9pm Channel 4 will show a 60-minute documentary titled Is Covid Racist?

     

    Whilst statistics have consistently shown cases of coronavirus to have been proportionally higher in some areas of the country with higher BAME population percentages, this show will seek to highlight how “Covid-19 has killed a higher number of people of colour among Britain’s frontline National Health Service workers,” according to Television Business International.

     

    Of this, Channel 4’s commissioning editor for factual, Harjeet Chhokar, concluded: “We don’t really know why,” but in so doing entirely misses the point. Even if Covid-19 is actually more prevalent in one community or ethnicity over another, that does not make it “racist” as to be “racist” is a personal choice and one of personal prejudice.

     

    Nobody in their right mind – whatever their colour or creed unless they were a halfwit with a desire to drink bleach – would opt to infect themselves with this potentially deadly disease and thus Channel 4 should be jolly well ashamed of yet again heading down the road of political correctness gone crackers.

    Is Covid Racist? – In May, DW News shared an 11:50-minute report on YouTube. It suggested that “the virus does not discriminate,” but did point to a rise in xenophobia as a result of it. In essence, the virus itself is not racist, but racists will still be racists.

    United in Abuse

    As Kimberly Guilfoyle faces allegations that she sexually harassed a staff member at Fox News, we remind readers of her association with the bear killing queen of animal abuse Larysa Switlyk

    News that Donald Trump’s son’s girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle has been accused of sexually harassing her former assistant whilst at Fox News is a reminder that this very same woman also associates with an another type of abuser – the brazen bear slaying barbarian Larysa Switlyk.

     

    Whilst Fox allegedly paid out £3.1 million ($4 million) to an as yet unnamed complainant according to Forbes, we once again today share an image of ghastly Guilfoyle with her boyfriend Donald Trump Jr. and she-who-likes-to-shove-sex-toys-up-the-bums-of-sheep-she’s-shot Switlyk. The picture was taken at the Dallas Safari Club hunting convention in January 2019 and ironically Miss Guilfoyle was subsequently invited onto the committee of a dog rescue charity later that year.

     

    Meanwhile elsewhere, a petition started by The Steeple Times in September seeking to get perverted pillock Switlyk banned from Instagram has now attracted over 4,500 signatures on Change.org.

     

    Today, we again urge readers to sign and share this petition and to help put a stop to the animal abuse conducted by Larysa Switlyk.

  • Moron of the Moment – Laurence Fox

    Moron of the Moment – Laurence Fox

    Laurence Fox has morphed from a much loved tellybox treasure into a tedious twerp; his new political party deserves only ‘destination dustbin’

    Just as Nigel Farage is yet again “contemplating a return to frontline politics” (no surprises there given his past on-off-on-off and again antics when he’s in need of a bit more ‘wonga wonga’), another tedious loudmouth is sticking his oar in also.

     

    Laurence Fox, whom we saluted as a ‘Hero of the Hour’ for quite rightly calling out the ‘MegExit’ saga as self-absorbed nonsense in January 2019, has sadly since morphed into a bit of a nutter and not only has decided to launch a political party, but also had ‘Freedom’ and ‘Space’ tattooed in a most ghastly fashion on his hands.

     

    Fox – whose acting abilities in Lewis made him a middle-aged housewives firm favourite between 2006 and 2015 – has, it seems, changed from a “shy around women, sensitive and a bit naïve” Harrovian school boy into a BNP-esque bully determined to “fight the culture wars” (whatever they are).

     

    The actor has allegedly raised £5 million already for his ludicrous ‘cause’ and “hopes to stand dozens of candidates across the UK” for a party he has provisionally named Reclaim. On his website, he pompously states:

     

    “Over many years it has become clear that our politicians have lost touch with the people they represent and govern. Moreover, our public institutions now work to an agenda beyond their main purpose.”

     

    “Our modern United Kingdom was born out of the respectful inclusion of so many individual voices. It is steeped in the innate values of families and communities, diverse in the truest sense but united in the want and need to call this island home.”

     

    “The people of the United Kingdom are tired of being told that we represent the very thing we have, in history, stood together against.”

     

    “We are all privileged to be the custodians of our shared heritage. We can reclaim a respectful nation where all are included and none are ashamed to have somewhere to call home.”

     

    “I have been so encouraged by the support I have received by those wishing to add their voices to this reclamation of our values.”

     

    “Our country is now in desperate need of a new political movement which promises to make our future a shared endeavour, not a divisive one.”

     

    Ironically, in a not so cryptic reference to Inspector Morse, Fox – whose website ironically links to a reputation management and crisis issues firm, Reputation Communications, whose clients also number the Equality and Human Rights Commission – ends by repeating: “This is now my endeavour.”

     

    Frankly, here is a man whom speaks nothing but utter gibberish and someone whose party sounds quite beyond pointless. Whilst Laurence Fox’s political movement will undoubtedly fast fade into obscurity, those hideous inkings sadly are with him for life. The poor chap needs only to find himself a ‘safe’ space and he needs ‘freedom’ to about his stupidity. Next!

    Fox’s downward spiral began after he appeared on BBC’s ‘Question Time’ in March this year. Initially, whilst many suggested he was quite right, he subsequently got rather carried away and lurched off into
    Subsequently, this month Fox declared he’d been “shunned” by his own profession and demanded “the silent majority started to become a louder majority.” He declared intellectual activists “fragile children” and suggested the “establishment” have been “making children hyper-racially aware.”

    Wally of the Week – Disgraceful Dimwit Darren Grimes

    As manipulated millennial Darren Grimes gets himself into yet another racism storm with the help of his beloved bigot Dr David Starkey, one has to ask: “Who is this cretin’s puppet master?”

    “I wish I’d caught it at the time,” blubbed Darren Grimes after his failure to notice the bigot Dr David Starkey CBE spouting racist bile and shockingly complaining about their being “so many damn blacks” in Britain on his Reasoned UK channel.

     

    Fresh from threatening esteemed writer Peter Jukes with legal action in May for utterly no good reason, ‘Dim Grim’ continued: “I am still learning the ropes, I will be much more alert to challenging this kind of thing in the future.” He then attempted to justify his failure with a throwaway: “I am very new to being the interviewer rather than the interviewee” line.

     

    Turning to having stupidly lauded Starkey’s shocking remarks in the hours after uploading the sorry excuse for an interview, the awkward agitator and failed trainee hairdresser declared: “I’d appreciated his history programmes growing up, which did a lot for me as a kid in a really crap state school with precious little way of history.” Earlier, of the very same interview, Grimes had also commented: “It’s so good I’m watching it back again… They say never to meet your heroes, well, I virtually met one of mine and it was bloody fantastic… I love him.”

     

    Known for banging on about “white privilege” and how he comes from a fatherless home and has a mother who bought a council house (as if such actually is relevant), lily-livered Grimes has previous. On May 25th, after Dominic Cummings was deservedly lambasted over his coronavirus lockdown rule breaking drive to Barnard Castle, the tinpot twerp tweeted: “This is actually breaking my heart. The media are monsters. Utter monsters.”

     

    As the Cambridge educated freelance writer Mic Wright concluded of this “miniature Milo Yiannopolous” this morning: “Who is Darren Grimes? Not even he knows,” but more importantly one is left asking: “Who are the far-right manipulators pulling the purse strings that continue to enable this silly little boy?” It’s time we had some answers.

    Since Darren Grimes has deleted the parts of his interview with Dr David Starkey that have been deservedly deemed offensive and racist, we share here a YouTube feature by Aaron Bastani with the bits ‘Dazzer’ wants erased from history. In response to criticism, cowardly Grimes tweeted: “The much more detailed and nuanced discussion on current events that I’d had, during a conversation that lasted over an hour, is not well reflected in that one, damning and distressing clip, that has been shared online – I regret missing that part and it has now been removed.”
    https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_/status/1278023697392156678
    “I fought them and won” – Manipulated millennial Darren Grimes just cannot help but make a prat of himself. At every turn, he trips himself up with delusional drivel fed to him by his puppet masters.
    One Twitter user replaced Starkey with Hitler and showed Darren Grimes nodding along. Frankly, the clip sums up the whole shebang backing this noxious runt up perfectly.

    “I am, alas, only human and those seeking nothing short of my destruction can make it all feel like a lonely game” suggested Darren Grimes on 29th June. The poor lamb really does need to seek a safe space (or return to working in the food hall at Marks & Spencer).

    Entitled Hamptons brat Jonathan Davis exposed for allegedly squatting during the coronavirus lockdown; it turns out he’s a realtor with NestSeekers

    Jonathan Davis is the founder of the Hamptons Brewing Company and the son of a self-declared “power broker” realtor named Tim Davis. Aside from also being a property agent and claiming to have been “born and raised” in the summer colony that the wealthy of New York flock to, on Friday, he was exposed as something else – Mr Davis has now been outed as a pesky squatter who allegedly doesn’t pay his rent and goes around wrecking other peoples’ homes.

     

    In March, Davis, a graduate of Lynn University “with a passion for business,” featured in an interview with Fox Business in which he bragged about how much business he was doing because of the coronavirus pandemic. In the typically brash style expected of a privileged preppy prat and speaking on behalf of his bosses at the NestSeekers brokerage, he declared:

     

    “Rental season is starting earlier now. Instead of Memorial Day, it’s 1st April… It’s a very proactive time… There is just more room to breathe out here and families feel safer… It’s not a bad environment to be quarantined.”

     

    According to Inside Edition, completely modest to his core “like father, like son, greatness never dies” Davis – whom according to his broker profile has sold properties priced as high as £9.3 million ($11.5 million, €10.3 million or درهم42.2 million) and pompously lauds himself as a “well-regarded agent” selling “a lifestyle, not just a dream home” according to posts on his Twitter handle – has himself taken advantage of the pandemic at the expense of someone who rented him a house.

     

    The “prominent real estate agent” and “alleged squatter,” the syndicated news-magazine reports, rented a 3-bedroom property in Sag Harbor from Paula Rosado and now “refuses to move out.” Davis is alleged to owe £12,100 ($15,000, €13,500 or درهم55,100) and has supposedly allowed his two German Shepherd dogs to “tear apart” the building and urinate all over her rugs and “couches” [sic]. Windows are reported broken also and of the situation, Rosado moaned: “It’s horrific. It really is just horrific… This has been a complete nightmare for us, for our family emotionally and financially.”

     

    When confronted by Inside Edition’s cameras, Davis refused to comment. His lawyer, meanwhile, angrily stated: “I’ve got no comments except: GET ORF THE GROUNDS!”

     

    The Steeple Times contacted Jonathan Davis and his bosses at NestSeekers – CEO and founder Eddie Shapiro, Bridgehampton salesperson Dylan Eckardt and associate broker Peggy Zabakolas – for comment on Saturday. They all failed to respond by 11am GMT Monday and thus provided illustration of the “ethics, integrity, loyalty, education, ingenuity and courage” by which Shapiro’s firm operates by. Allow NestSeekers into your home at your peril.

  • Modern Day Foxes and Hedgehogs

    Modern Day Foxes and Hedgehogs

    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.
