What’s so special about the titled classes?
We’ve previously separately featured two women who gained titles because of whom they happened to end up married to. They are the sorts that now enjoy using these ‘accolades’ wherever they go.
The first, Lady Meyer CBE, appears in the media at any opportunity. She promotes herself as running “a charity for missing and abducted children” and as a “national treasurer of the Tory Party”. She’s thankfully only got 98 followers on Twitter but somehow gets herself on television sofas a little too often for our liking. When this occurs, anyone sensible simply rushes to hit the off button.
Two stories to keep beside you
God help America
Britain’s political classes may not be the best, but America’s options just got far worse
Pricing publicity
Katie Price’s antics set her on Titanic course When Katie Price married a part-time stripper named Kieran Hayler in January 2013 everyone cried “publicity stunt” and now she’s supposedly divorcing him, people are rightly shouting the same.
The second is a ‘baroness’ with a penchant for handing out business cards. She uses the name Baroness Marie-Claire von Alvensleben and thinks that she should be allowed to behave as she damn well wishes. This woman’s remarks and conduct are shocking and we welcome her trip to a court this Thursday 27th February on the basis that she’s been going around whinging about our factual article about what she did in December.
These two “ladies” deserve highlighting for separate reasons. They’re both, however, illustrative of exactly why some have come to lose respect for the system of privilege that they so openly celebrate.

Marie-Claire von Alvensleben has given me her business card on four occasions. She never remembers who I am. I hear she’s now using the excuse that she’s “not responsible for things she cannot remember” and blaming Matthew and others for what happened. She has utterly no shame and I shall ensure she is barred from all of my events. I hope others follow suit.
Von Alvensleben is worse than David Pun. At least he doesn’t make such appalling remarks.
