    Word of the Week 2021 – ‘Meghan Markled’

    The tedious twerp formerly known as Meghan Markle has had her maiden name turned into both a verb and a noun – go get ‘Meghan Markled’

    Last week, both the Guardian and The Sun revealed a note of amusement in the context of the otherwise tedious familial feud between the devious Duchess of Sussex and her fobbed-off father in sharing that the walk-away royal has had her maiden name turned into a verb.

     

    Whilst The Sun predictably mocked this trivial story at a time of a lack of news other than coronavirus, the Guardian’s “social justice” focused columnist Poppy Noor unsurprisingly lauded “to Meghan Markle” – or as she somewhat soppily put it, “to get the hell out [when] love is not returned.”

     

    Noor went further and, in a decidedly ‘woke’ fashion, added of the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to head off to the land of profit in LA: “You could understand why Meghan Markle, who opted out of royalty this month after a year of being hounded and vilified by a racist, rightwing press could be referred to in some circles as the patron saint of good mental health” and shared a definition  

     

    “Meghan Markle, a verb, past tense – Meghan Markled: to value yourself and your mental health enough to up and leave a room/ situation/ environment in which your authentic self is not welcomed or wanted.”

     

    Elsewhere previously, in January 2018, the Urban Dictionary took another view on what being ‘Meghan Markle’ and being ‘Meghan Markled’ means. They suggested it to be a “noun for coming up nicely despite your family’s socio-economic status.”

     

    Putting it in context, they gave an example:

     

    “A: I wonder how Lisa is doing. I haven’t spoken to her since her family drama situation. Poor thing.”

    “B: Girl, she’s engaged to a Russian billionaire now. She Meghan Markle’d her way to the top!”

     

    We’ll leave it to you, good readers, to decide which you prefer, but one thing’s for sure the saga of the attention obsessed ‘Modern Day Mrs Simpson’ and her row with the media: It isn’t going to end any time soon.

     

    Word of the Week 2021 – ‘Meghan Markled’ – The tedious twerp formerly known as Meghan Markle has had her maiden name turned into both a verb and a noun – go get ‘Meghan Markled’
    Word of the Week 2021 – ‘Meghan Markled’ – The Duchess of Sussex has most definitely ‘Meghan Markled’ her way to the top and, along with her drip of a husband, is cashing in with huge payments from projects with Apple, Disney, Netflix and Spotify amongst other things.

    Moron of the Moment 2021 – Stephen Bear

    Shameless scumbag sex pest and dog abuser Stephen Bear yet again proves himself to be the finest example of all that is wrong in once Great Britain

    Tattooed twerp Stephen Bear personifies all that is wrong about once Great Britain.

     

    Aside from unsurprisingly being mocked for his “grotesque” inkings – with one that ridiculously reads: “Be The Best” and another “on his hand that he can put over his or another person’s face so it looks like they are half flesh, half skull” – this nasty nitwit got double coverage in The Sun today with features titled “Bear Don’t Care” and  “Stephen Bear is the poster boy for elevating reality TV scumbags to apparent stardom.”

     

    Currently facing charges after being arrested for disgustingly covertly recording himself having sex with Love Island’s Georgia Harrison, this “small-fry star” and “clear wrong-un” (whose “official calendar” was nearly as unpopular as Sir Cliff Richard’s) was pictured breaking quarantine rules after claiming “rules don’t apply to me” in an article by Stephanie Soteriou.

     

    Prone to wearing garments that feature nasty notes such as: “Bitch better have my money,” brain dead Bear – a maskless man plainly “prepared for warmer climates as he donned a pair of sunglasses” as he paid for petrol at a Morrisons – tediously told the paper: “I am God… I have super human powers and I am part of the Illuminati.”

     

    Bear, unsurprisingly, is a moron and he’s got previous. In March 2018, burger brand Rustlers issued a statement describing why they’d chosen to end their ‘relationship’ with him. It read:

     

    “Last month we chose to cancel a campaign featuring Stephen Bear after several unsuitable images of Stephen feeding tigers at a temple in Thailand appeared on social media last month. He has been paid appropriately under the terms of our cancelled agreement with him, and no other payment is due.”

     

    In May 2018, Bear was also slammed after allegedly causing the death of a puppy by causing it to become infected by taking it around without injections. Of this incident, an Instagram user named Asher Lloyd remarked:

     

    “You are a f**king disgrace and I hope you are never, ever, EVER allowed another animal in your company. You did not deserve a dog, you were using him as a prop for Instagram from the moment you got him… And you think having his name tattooed on your neck makes you owner of the year?”

     

    Wastrel wazzock Stephen Bear’s ‘finest’ quotes:

     

    On why he shouldn’t have to pay attention to lockdown rules:

     

    “I am God. Rules do not apply to me. I have super human powers and I am part of the Illuminati.”

     

    “Everyone else should stay at home and not go M&S and buy some food. They should sit at home and starve.”

     

    About those he “claimed” owed him money:

     

    “Yeah, so this one’s called the Monday rant. I’m owed a lot of money from three different people. First one is Rustlers, where’s my £3,000 you owe me? It’s been five months.”

     

    “Second one, Good For Nothing, you owe me 16 grand, my contract isn’t finished until April, you owe me £16,000. Where is it?”

     

    “And the third one is for you Charlotte, listen, reply back to the emails. I haven’t received 1p from the business which I started with my money. Okay?”

                          

    “Tell your dad to reply to the f**king emails, do you understand? Make sure he gets back to him because what’s going on at the minute is b******s and it’s embarrassing.

     

    “Do you understand? Because I’ve had enough now. That’s the Monday rant over, I want all my f**king money from all three of you, do you understand?”

     

    To a group of females on Celebs Go Dating:

     

    “I’m here to find someone new… Are all your minges shaved? I’m just saying, clean nails, clean minges.”

     

    On being arrested for “on suspicion of disclosing private sexual photographs or films without consent with intent to cause distress, harassment, and obstructing a police officer”:

     

    “Where do I f**king start? I’m back from Dubai and I’ve actually got a criminal case of my head.”

     

    “While I was in the police cell they have gone into my house, smashed open the door. I’ve had to get everything fixed – they’ve busted my front gate too.”

     

    “Obstructing a police officer. What do you reckon I did? Do you reckon I got in his way? I think voyeurism because I’ve been to Dubai and I’ve gone on a voyage.”

    Moron of the Moment 2021 – Stephen Bear – This vacuous and vain prat should be sent to social media Siberia. In fact, Siberia is probably too good for this drip.

  • Ghastly Ghislaine Goes 50/1

    Ghastly Ghislaine Goes 50/1

    Odds of Donald Trump pardoning mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell move to 50/1 from 3/1 earlier just as Joe Exotic’s supporters start planning a “pizza party” for him

    Whilst yesterday, Sports Betting Dime were reporting that the odds of Ghislaine Maxwell getting a pardon before the 45th POTUS departs tomorrow had moved to 50/1 from 3/1 in December, this morning the author Kirby Sommers tweeted to the contrary and suggested: “Trump would be very inclined to pardon Maxwell even without a bribe.”

     

    With other Twitter users echoing that sentiment of it being “highly likely for her to be freed” because “she has the Epstein money and the secrets” and her “being the worst one on the list [of 100 likely pardons] 100%,” the true prospect of Maxwell joining another possible recipient, Joe Exotic, for a “huge party… with pizza, steak and a McRib from McDonald’s” tomorrow however, does now actually seem as far-fetched as Madeleine McCann riding in on Shergar the racehorse.

     

    Indeed, stranger things have happened, but we’d argue that even Trump – a deranged dope with plenty of problems of his own to face once he’s out of the safe confines of the White House, financial, legal and there otherwise – will pass on “going out with a bang” in spite of his previous “good wishes” to ‘Grubby Ghislaine.’ If that proves to be the case, it’ll be about the only decent decision he makes before leaving office.

     

    Elsewhere, today at 10am EST (3pm GMT), Loretta A. Preska, Senior United States District Judge in the Southern District of New York Court, will consider unsealing further documents in the case of Virginia L. Giuffre v Ghislaine Maxwell. That matter has yet to attract much mainstream media attention, but boy could that actually be the dynamite that ‘Mucky Maxwell’s’ lackey Brian Basham might wish to not having to peddle his paws around.

  • Runners & Riders – The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick

    Runners & Riders – The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick

    ‘The Steeple Times’ examines the tipsters’ selections and offers 4 options for The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick – as well as a 15/1 at Market Rasen

    Today, after a second day this week finishing 99% up for our racing followers on email with a 1st for Majaam at 4/1 (£5 to £17), a 4th for International Law at 8/1, a 3rd for Socru at 11/2 and a 1st for Crazy Spin at 12/1 (£5 to £41) yesterday, we are looking at EACH WAY BETS in The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick.

     

    3pm Warwick – The Classic Chase 2021 (13 runners, 4 places with Ladbrokes ‘The Grid’)

     

    The Classic Chase 2021 is a Grade 3 National Hunt steeplechase that is open to horses aged 5 years or older. It runs over a distance of 3 miles and 5 furlongs and features 22 fences.

     

    Last year’s winner was Kimberlite Candy for Tom Lacey and in 2017, it was won by another favourite horse of ours, the Lucinda Russell trained One For Arthur.

     

    Today in The Classic Chase 2021, we are favouring a punt on another old favourite, Twiston-Davies double The Hollow Ginge at 13/1 from 20/1 earlier (Racing Post ‘Ace Tipster’, At The Races ’Top Tip’)

    Callum Jamieson for The Sun says: “We return to an old friend, The Hollow Ginge, who I actually fancied to go well in the Welsh National at Chepstow last weekend.”

     

    “He was kept in the rear much of the way before unseating jockey Jamie Bargary at the 13th fence. That race shouldn’t have taken too much out of him and he’s now been found a much easier spot.”

     

    “On top of that, he’s trading around a 16-1 poke at the time of writing –a similar price to the one he has chalked up at originally last week. He’s been dropped another pound, but the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies catches the eye more than the minimal lenience offered by the handicapper.”

     

    “Twiston-Davies has partnered the horse to three of his four wins and this has to signal some form of intent He gets in off a perfect racing weight of 10’9, largely thanks to stablemate Ballyoptic heading the weights at a whopping 11’12. All the same positives apply from last week. Plenty of rain is forecast and conditions should suit. His fourth in the Ladbrokes Trophy remains a rock-solid piece of form and showed a step up in trip and further emphasis will be right up his street.”

     

    “The bet has to be The Hollow Ginge at big odds. He looks a cracking each-way poke in an open race.”

     

    At The Races adds: “A chance is taken with THE HOLLOW GINGE in the Classic Chase 2021. He was creeping into contention when unseating his rider in the Welsh National last Saturday and he is able to race off a 1lb lower mark on this occasion.”

     

    Racing Post says: “Fourth in major handicap at Newbury in November, his sole completion this season.”

     

    Keith Rose for Racing Post adds: “A marathon trip and deep ground look right up his street. Can improve on his Ladbrokes Trophy fourth.”

     

    Also in The Classic Chase 2021, Tom Cannon – Alan King combo Notachance at 18/5 from 7/2 earlier (The Sun NB, Daily Mail ‘Robin Goodfellow’)

    The Sun says: “Impressive at Bangor on comeback and should stay this far… He has every chance after taking a big step forward at Bangor last time. He relished the heavy ground at the Welsh track and had plenty left in the tank at the end of three miles. The handicapper hasn’t gone mad with a 7lb rise and he looks a real marathon runner in the Classic Chase 2021.”

     

    Racing Post adds: “Progressive sort; won useful handicap at Bangor in November; should have more to offer.”

     

    Also in The Classic Chase 2021, Skelton double Captain Chaos at 11/2 from 7/1 earlier (Telegraph)

    Racing Post says: “Should revive with blinkers refitted (good record in the blinds); second in this last year.”

     

    Also in The Classic Chase 2021, Kielan Woods on Le Breuil at 19/4 from 6/1 earlier (Racing Post ‘Spotlight NAP’, Radio 4, At The Races ‘Watch Out For’)

    Racing Post says: “The 2019 NH Chase winner LE BREUIL (nap) is taken to beat the improving Notachance… Had wind surgery since his third in the Becher Chase; this may well be his time to shine.”

     

    At The Races adds: “Le Breuil shaped well for a long way when third in the Becher Chase at Aintree and a wind operation is likely to aid his cause with connections needing a victory to ensure him every chance of making the Grand National line-up.”

     

    Richard Austen for Racing Post adds: “Bravely won the 2019 National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and remains the type to win a big staying handicap, for all that he’s 0-6 since. Had wind surgery since finishing third in the Becher Chase six weeks ago and runs off a handy mark, so this may well be his time to shine.”

     

    Elsewhere today in other races, we’re keen looking at:

     

    1.50pm Warwick (3 runners, WIN only)

     

    Old favourite producer for us, Jonjo O’Neill – Colin Tizzard combo Fiddlerontheroof at 21/10 from 2/1 earlier (Sporting Life, At The Races ‘Watch Out For’)

    Ben Linfoot for Sporting Life says: “FIDDLERONTHEROOF can get the better of Next Destination and Golan Fortune in the Grade 2 Hampton Novices’ Chase at Warwick on Saturday.”

     

    “The Colin Tizzard stable is down in the doldrums a bit at present but Fiddlerontheroof has the fencing experience to get the better of his two rivals on Saturday.”

     

    “Second to a good horse in Allart at Ascot last time, he just lacked the winner’s extra gear that day but it was another good run over an intermediate trip and he can improve going up to three miles at this track.”

     

    “Jonjo O’Neill Jr should be able to dominate on the front end and make the most of the 5lb he receives from Next Destination, as well as his extra experience (has had four chasing starts already) which could prove vital.”

     

    Racing Post adds: “FIDDLERONTHEROOF who, strictly speaking, has the best chance at the weights… Solid chase record, albeit over shorter trips; has a good chance on ratings.”

     

    At The Races less enthusiastic: “Fiddlerontheroof is best treated at these weights but looks second best.”

     

    Moving on to two other races, we suggest EACH WAY bets at 2.40pm and 3.15pm Market Rasen:

     

    2.40pm Market Rasen (8 runners, 3 places)

     

    Old favourite producer for us, Bryony Frost – Neil King combo Lil Rockefeller at 13/5 from 5/2 earlier (Daily Mail ‘Gimcrack’)

    Racing Post says: “Runner-up in a 3m handicap on return from a year out; these terms are favourable.”

     

    Also in the same race, Nico de Boinville – Nicky Henderson combo On The Blind Side at 7/5 from 11/8 earlier (GG.co.uk, The Sun TREBLE)

    Racing Post says: “Hard to fault back over hurdles this season and solid claims, even with his penalty. “

     

    The Sun adds: “Cracking second in Grade 2 last time and one to beat… He has been in great form this season and followed two top efforts at Cheltenham with a gutsy Grade 2 second at Kempton last weekend. Trip and ground are ideal so only coming back quickly can stop him.”

     

    3.15pm Market Rasen (7 runners, 2 places)

     

    Nico de Boinville – Willie Mullins combo Grangee at 33/20 from 13/8 earlier (Radio 4, The Sun NAP, Racing Post, Telegraph NB)

    The Sun says: “Impressive at Galway and comes from bumper king Mullins.”

     

    Racing Post says: “With the emphasis on stamina, GRANGEE, representing last year’s winning trainer Willie Mullins, is preferred to Eileendover… Won in a big field at Galway and seems sure to go well for last year’s winning trainer.”

     

    Also in the same race at bigger odds, Olly Murphy trained Chosen Port at 15/1 from 18/1 earlier

    Racing Post says: “Well-bred point winner; second at Wetherby on rules debut; could well outrun her odds.”

     

    Happy racing and may we wish you huge success with whoever you choose for The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick today.

     

    Pictured top: Our favoured pick of the day for The Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick has to be The Hollow Ginge.

     

    The Classic Chase 2021, Warwick – Though an analysis of the tipsters’ choices across the board in the Classic Chase 2021 at Warwick generally favour Notachance, The Hollow Ginge, Captain Chaos and Le Breuil are all worth a look in our view.
  • Moron of the Moment 2021 – Karren Brady

    Moron of the Moment 2021 – Karren Brady

    Poundland muckspreader Karren Brady desperately seeks attention by bleating that men are “sexist” against her; Lady Brady brought up a story from years ago proving she has utterly nothing new to say

    “The arrogant, self-interested baroness,” “gutter gossip hack” and “all-round nasty piece of work” are just some of the descriptions that have deservedly stuck to Karren Brady (AKA The Right Honourable The Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge in the City of Westminster CBE) over the years.

     

    Also widely mocked for her links to “dildo floggers” and as “Mrs Blowjob or No Job,” Brady used her column in today’s The Sun on Sunday to yet again moan about people making “jibes” against her.

     

    Referencing an alleged incident long ago with Sky News’ football anchorman Richard Keys, Brady bleated to readers:

     

    He was later overheard talking about me when he thought the microphone was off.

     

    He said: “See charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Yeah. Do me a favour, love.”

     

    How condescending is that? Needless to say, I have never forgotten it. And I doubt I ever will.

     

    In the case of this acid-tongued harpy, nothing other than stones and glass houses come to mind. Now, please, Karren, just do us all a favour and put a sock in it in 2021.

     

    “Overpainted Aunt Sally” Karren Brady on…

     

    Her destroyer of jobs and the high street mate ‘Sir Shifty’ Philip Green…

    “The most dynamic, the most energetic, the most relentless business-person I have ever come across, a whirlwind of energy and ideas.”

     

    The nearly as controversial businessman Mike Ashley:

    “I feel sorry for a guy like Mike Ashley… He tried his best… I feel tremendous sympathy for Ashley.”

     

    Her “precarious work-life balance”…

    “[It’s a] balancing act… [I feel] constant guilt over being a working mother.”

     

    Her being investigated in connection with corruption in football…

    “I was in a very dark place… It was gut-wrenching… I didn’t want to have to justify myself to people.”

     

    The East End of London…

    “A hotbed of racism.”

     

    Condoms in the Birmingham City boardroom…

    “I found it floating in the toilet… And it became this big whodunit. I mean, in the boardroom toilet of all places.”

     

    Her “wickedly indiscreet newspaper column”…

    “It’s what I leave out that would make your hair curl.”

     

    Unsurprisingly getting abuse given her own vile tongue…

    “The abuse I get is vile. And so much worse now than it’s ever been.”

     

    Herself…

    “At 23, I had skin as thick as a rhino… I don’t have any fears.”

     

    “I dare to put my head above the parapet, to have a mind and a voice of my own and to plough my own furrow.”

     

    “[I am now] one of the most highly sought-after motivational speakers in the world.”

     

    More modest than the late Mother Theresa, one is simply left asking: “What on earth was it about the very wealthy woman Karren Brady that David Cameron saw fit to elevate her to the House of Lords?”

    It was ludicrously announced that plain old Karren Rita Brady would be given a seat as a Conservative life peer on the House of Lords on the 8th August 2014. She had previously addressed the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester on 30th September 2013.

    As this banner proves, football fans loathe her and on 6th June 2020, in yet another column in ‘The Sun on Sunday’ Karren Brady banged on about ‘missing’ Madeleine McCann before turning to sharing her bizarre belief that Big Macs are brilliant. If ever there’s been a columnist with a better ability to choose interlinking subjects, we’d argue that it was time the world was told.
  • Hero of the Hour 2021 – ‘Miracle Man’ Brian Toomey

    Hero of the Hour 2021 – ‘Miracle Man’ Brian Toomey

    Jockey who “died for six seconds” in 2013 Brian Toomey set to make a remarkable return to racing as a trainer in 2021

    Given only a 3% chance of survival after falling from his mount Solway Dandy “with such force that he was left clinically dead for six seconds before being resuscitated on course” at Perth in 2013, jockey Brian Toomey revealed to The Sun yesterday that he intends to become a trainer in 2021.

     

    Mistakenly declared dead by the British Horseracing Authority after the fall three flights from the finish, Toomey was put in an induced coma and had part of his skull removed to make way for a titanium plate.

     

    Though nicknamed the ‘Miracle Man’ after remarkably returning to the track after regaining his jockey licence in 2015, his comeback was short-lived as few “trainers were willing to give him rides over concerns for his welfare in the event of another fall.”

     

    Speaking to the paper yesterday, Brian Toomey remarked:

     

    “I’m always going to be known as the ex-jockey with the injury but I want to be known for my hard work and my racing mind – rather than a broken brain.”

     

    “I had a titanium plate put in my head. It doesn’t stop me doing anything – apart from being a professional sportsman – but I have been very lucky.”

     

    “I was put in an induced coma. I had to have part of my skull removed. I shouldn’t be alive and I feel lucky to have made the recovery I have.”

     

    “What I’m going through now is not very tough but it’s frustrating how long it’s taking for a dream to come true.”

     

    “My bank balance isn’t where it should be – as a jockey you drive round in flashy cars like a footballer – I would have been more mature if I thought the second part of my career was going to come this soon. But I’m keen to get started.”

     

    “I have been assistant trainer to Dr Richard Newland and learned a lot, but now actions must speak louder than words. I want to do it and prove to people I can do it.

     

    “Back when I spoke about becoming a trainer for the first time I was still feeling sorry for myself. I wasn’t as focused as I wanted to be. I am way more focused and mature now.”

     

    “I have been on every TV show bar Jeremy Kyle feeling sorry for myself. I’ve only got one life left now and I’m focused on it. I have a dreaBm to sell. Before when I was talking about going into training it was a case of ‘what if’… I never had an idea. Now, I have an idea.”

     

    “It’s hard to sell the dream to owners now because they’re not even allowed to go the races due to the pandemic. But if you are focused and being a realist, you have more of a chance.”

     

    “The guys I have learned from, Clive Cox and John Francome are legends, but they started out just like me.”

     

    “Obviously you need luck but I’m now more focused and have more of a chance. When I do find a small yard where I can make a start… in my mind you get one chance at this and I want to have everything right and give it my best shot.”

     

    Here is an example of positivity that deserves to be celebrated and for that reason, today we make Brian Toomey our ‘Hero of the Hour’ and wish him all the best with his quest.

  • Hollie Doyle – The Heroine of 2020

    Hollie Doyle – The Heroine of 2020

    For once, the normally “condescending cow” Karren Brady got it right in supporting the tremendous jockey Hollie Doyle to become BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2020

    “Appalling role model” Lady Brady of Knightsbridge CBE (AKA ‘Lazy Brady’ and ‘The Overpainted Aunt Sally’) can normally be relied upon on a Sunday to pen a toxic column for The Sun in which she savagely slams people she has utterly no knowledge of. Today, she actually, unpredictably, did something decent for a change and saluted the shortlisted for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2020 nominee, jockey Hollie Doyle.

     

    In an unusually pleasant opinion piece, Karren Brady remarked of 24-year-old Doyle, “[she] gives hope for women’s sport” and added of the ‘Female Frankie’:

     

    “Hollie Doyle reminds us that something positive is happening with women’s sport. The playing field is levelling… [She] is an emblem of hope for all sportswomen… A symbol of positive change – of women succeeding and being taken seriously in sport. As positive omens for the year ahead go, I’ll take it.”

     

    Hollie Doyle’s remarkable achievements in her “whirlwind” 2020 number:

     

    • Women’s British record holder for wins in a calendar year.
    • First Royal Ascot winner with Scarlet Dragon in the Duke of Edinburgh.
    • Winner of over £1.7 million in prize money in 2020.
    • Record-breaking first woman to win five races on a card at Windsor.
    • Broke her British record in October after 117th winner and is closing in on 150 wins this year in total.
    • First woman to win at the QIOCO British Champions Day at Ascot.

     

    Speaking to Sportsmail, Doyle, herself, modestly remarked of her nomination alongside Lewis Hamilton and Tyson Fury and commented:

     

    “I was quite amused by it – I just didn’t believe it – it’s crazy.”

     

    “When you’re younger and you’re growing up you have these ambitions in your brain but this year when we were delayed with the whole season because of Covid I just wrote it off but I just can’t believe it really.”

     

    “I just take it as it comes but I rode over 100 winners last year for the first time and I really wanted to back that up so it wasn’t a one off. “

     

    “With the delay I thought whatever I do this year, however many winners I have is a bonus under the circumstances. It’s been pretty crazy, I never thought it would have been this good.”

     

    “I don’t even see this for me personally. I hope to just represent the industry as a whole and I hope it can open doors and showcase the sport to a broader audience.”

     

    “I just want to better myself every year and I realise how hard it’s going to be after this year. But I don’t want this to be the best year of my life. I want to do better.”

     

    Elsewhere, trainer William Haggas summed up the mood of the nation most accurately with a simple sentence: “There is none who deserves this success more than Hollie.”

  • Watching Ghislaine

    Watching Ghislaine

    EXCLUSIVE – Neighbour reveals Ghislaine Maxwell was under surveillance in 1994 over her “mucky madam” activities at her South Kensington mews house by Met Police officers; Why didn’t they stop her?

    As Ghislaine Maxwell’s person-still-unknown “new husband” offers to put up £23 million in bail money and PR peddler Brian Basham spins crazily on her behalf also, we can today reveal that Ghislaine Maxwell was unbelievably under surveillance by British police as early as 1994.

     

    Aside from her residence in Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, Maxwell owned another house in Stanhope Mews East from circa 1989 until 1997. During this period a neighbour – whom wishes to remain anonymous for their personal security – has exclusively revealed to The Steeple Times that their home opposite was used by the police to conduct a surveillance campaign on a woman they believed to be a madam.

     

    The businesswoman concerned told us: “I was visited by officers from the Met Police in 1994 whom asked to use a bedroom in my property and to install a camera at the window to monitor the house diagonally opposite, 69 Stanhope Mews East.”

     

    “I was not told at the time who the person concerned was, but I now realise it was Ghislaine Maxwell who was the owner of that house. I recall seeing very young girls coming and going from that building very often.”

     

    “The officers remained for a week and then I heard no more about what happened next. All I knew was that a brothel was being operated from there and that the police wanted to close it down. They could have caught this evil woman then, but maybe her friendships with powerful people like Prince Andrew helped ensure her criminality was swept under the carpet.”

     

    According to a report, Maxwell “cared for and befriended Minor Victim 3 in London, England, between about 1994 and 1995” and it was at 69 Stanhope Mews East that she shockingly supposedly groomed this unfortunate youngster.

  • Moron of the Moment – Alexa Chung

    Moron of the Moment – Alexa Chung

    Self-declared “human” Alexa Chung’s fashion business unsurprisingly flops; the “stuck-up socialite’s” company is supposedly very deservedly “in tatters”

    Utterly boring, former presenter of the appropriately named show Big Mouth, Alexa Chung has hit the headlines yet again – and unsurprisingly given her audacity, annoyingness and arrogance, it’s very deservedly for the wrong reasons.

     

    Featured in The Sun this morning, the paper’s ‘Bizarre Column’ reporter Simon Boyle reported Chung’s company, Alpha Charlie Limited, “lost almost £2.3 million and is predicting a tough 2021.”

     

    Going further, Doyle revealed: “Shareholders had to pump in £1.7 million, then put in more money in June this year.” He then concluded:

     

    “If Alexa really had any kind of nous, she’d have cut the ridiculous costs of her lines. But alas, the stuck-up socialite believed she knew better. Yet it seems even her posh pals have snubbed her not-so-trendy designs… Don’t go into business with a pretentious model, there’s a lesson for you.”

     

    Previously this dopey drip of a designer has made headlines for claiming David and Victoria Beckham “begged” to talk to her at a party and even merged her Christian and surnames into one word, ‘ALEXACHUNG,’ to accompany her transition “from muse to founder and creative director.”

     

    Now, given nobody wants to buy your tepid tat, Miss Chung, please finally copy your Amazon namesake and “Alexa off.”

     

    Descriptions of Alexa Chung:

     

    By herself:

    • “Starlet.”
    • “Human.”
    • “Fashion brand.”
    • “Queen of Instagram.”
    • “It’s no surprise to me that I’m in this position now.”
    • “I’m driven by a desire to communicate.”
    • “I have an emotional connection with other people.”
    • “Airports are such emotionally charged places. I travel a lot, and I people-watch. And I love that British thing of wearing your holiday outfit home but with a sensible jacket because if you are British you are never not thinking about the weather.”
    • “I’m always under scrutiny – and I always feel it.”
    • “[Modelling] warped my reality.”

     

    By Lily Waddell of the Mail on Sunday:

    • “Fashion royalty.”
    • “The belle of the ball.”
    • “The biggest designer name of the moment.”
    • “A style maven.”
    • “A starlet.”
    • “A fashion genius.”

     

    By Niomi Harris of the MailOnline:

    • “Usually cuts a stylish figure at showbiz bashes.”
    • “Stunning.”
    • “Allows her dress to do the talking.”

     

    By Kayleigh Giles of the MailOnline:

    • “Sits front row at almost every major Fashion Week show.”
    • “Stylish.”
    • “Star.”

     

    By Anna Wintour:

    • “A phenomenon.”

     

    By The Sun’s Simon Boyle:

    • “Miserable, snooty model.”
    • “Galling.”
    • “Ridiculous.”
    • “Does naff all.”
    • “Stuck-up socialite.”
    • “Believes she knows better.”
    • “If Alexa really had any kind of nous, she’d have cut the ridiculous costs of her line.”
    • “Don’t go into business with a pretentious model [like Alexa Chung], there’s a lesson for you.”

    In October, Alexa Chung decided to pretend she was Queen Elizabeth II. The boring 16:53-minute YouTube feature was not in the slightest amusing, but, of course, this ridiculous woman accompanied her shit-show with a vain message: “And yes, I’m 36” and an announcement that she was launching her own Spotify channel.

  • Tempestuous Teenage Swarm Savages SW3

    Tempestuous Teenage Swarm Savages SW3

    Swarm of tempestuous teenagers descend on Brompton Road, SW3 and end up in a maskless face-off with 200 police officers

    In August 2018, a swarm of Arabs descended on Brompton Road. Though many residents objected to their noisy cars, some were polite and apologetic about blocking the pavements, but yesterday came another mass gathering that was even more ridiculous.

     

    The immediate area around Harrods, but also including the section of Brompton Road adjacent to kiddie favourite McDonald’s, on a soppy Saturday in December would normally attract families Christmas shopping and parents headed to Pizza Express, Beauchamp Place on “nanny’s day off.”

    Tempestuous Teenage Swarm Savages SW3 – The mob of youngsters gathered outside Harrods late Saturday afternoon.

    Yesterday, however, in spite of COVID-19, instead, the district was invaded by a mob of strangely dressed teenagers, some of them covered in glitter and all of them avoiding social distancing guidelines. These potty mouthed pillocks not only – as the likes of The Sun reported – tried to “force their way into [Harrods]” but also went on the rampage in local stores such as Waitrose, Brompton Road. Eventually, police descended and formed “a protective ring around the posh store.”

     

    Of what occurred in Waitrose, which eventually was forced to close its doors to prevent the lunatics that were running amok doing damage, a well-known local grande dame pointedly told The Steeple Times:

     

    “I simply came here to buy some avocados and I’m faced with this [pointing at an unmasked Kappa clad kiddie]. I’m not a snob, but this is Waitrose Knightsbridge; the customers are normally Sloanes not slops and slobs!”

     

    Pictured top: Police formed a ‘ring of steel’ to prevent the teenage mob gain entry to Harrods; three makeup caked youngsters whom were evicted from Waitrose, Brompton Road for screaming expletives at the staff.
