A ‘Private Eye’ At Crackpot Crazy Classifieds – 1974 Princess Anne Kidnap Attempt

‘Private Eye’ called out for publishing classified adverts from wacko wannabe “Village Elders” with a penchant for “amusing kids” and an actual crackpot crazy who tried and failed to kidnap Princess Anne in London in 1974

The latest edition of Private Eye contains an especially creepy classified advertisement. A link to it was sent to us by an especially beady eyed reader. It states:

Couple (60s) seek position as Village Elders in a community. Skills include knitting, martial arts, book-keeping, business advice, vegetable growing and amusing the kids. Any location worldwide but must speak English. No remuneration needed. Text 07486 434079 for more details.

Aside from the Jimmy Savile-esque vibes that the throwaway inclusion of “amusing kids” gives off, the fact that two sixty somethings of sex undefined want to move utterly anywhere for utterly no payment seems a little beyond weird. Whilst calls and texts from The Steeple Times to the number for the knitting and martial arts lovers listed were not answered, what’s the betting on these wannabe “Village Elders” being successful in their quest for their wacko wants? We wouldn’t go below 999/1.

The advert posted by the wannabe “Village Elders” that will likely not result in them achieving the placement they desire.

Elsewhere in the same magazine’s classified section is an advert placed by another oddity named Ian Ball. It doesn’t exactly share a great deal of detail, but simply offers:

‘To Kidnap a Princess’ by Ian Ball noveltokidnapaprincess.co.uk

For the majority whom unsurprisingly don’t immediately recognise this somewhat ordinary sounding name, this is the very same Ian Ball who attempted to kidnap Princess Anne on 20^th March 1974 on Pall Mall in London, but who only succeeded in injuring a number of bystanders with a series of shots. Ball failed in his attempt – which was later bizarrely ‘justified’ as a “publicity stunt” and an attempt to raise £2 million from a ransom that he claimed he intended to give to the NHS – and subsequently pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping. John Hazan QC, defending, claimed his client was “mad” and had been “led by a voice of either his late father or God.”

Top: The attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne in March 1974, as reconstructed in the 2006 ITV drama ‘To Kidnap A Princess’. Bottom: Failed kidnapper Ian Ball snapped arriving for his trial and the Rolls-Royce in which Princess Anne travelled on the night of the attempt to abduct her.

The advert promoting Ian Ball’s book.

Ball – who also goes by the pseudonym ‘Anthony Stewart’ – was subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia and detained in mental hospitals for 45 years until his release in 2019. In August 2025, he laughably claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II had been the “ringleader” of a plot that led to him being wrongfully jailed and told the Daily Mail: “I’m an innocent, sane man… The whole idea of performing the hoax was to get the publicity so I could write my autobiography and I expected to get £10,000 in royalties.”

Going further, on the website linked to from the online version of the weekly magazine, most certainly beyond bonkers Ball rages whilst promoting his tall tale tome To Kidnap a Princess:

“The author spent 45 years locked up in Rampton and Broadmoor criminal lunatic asylums, after being convicted of the attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne.”

“Throughout his stay in the asylums he was in constant conflict with the psychopathic screws and criminal doctors.”

“The abuse resulting from the conflict was born with a remarkable stoicism and with an astonishing positive attitude. Such resilience was due, mainly, to the author’s efforts in applying his hilariously unique and wry sense of humour to the situation.”

“Although the authorities did everything to try and break his spirit, the author remains unbowed and eventually prevails.”

In light of the highlighting of these two clearly crackpot advertisements, perhaps Private Eye might henceforth implement a better procedure to vet those taking space in their classifieds. Paraphrasing what Princess Anne is said to have exclaimed on being ordered out of her chauffeur driven Rolls-Royce by her wannabe kidnapper Ian Ball that dark night in March 1974, the chances of such are probably to be found in the land of “not bloody likely!”

Morons of the Moment 2024 – Filthy Fylde Conservative Association

As man-pestering Mark Menzies, the MP they have supported since 2008, is exposed for yet more sordid sexual shenanigans, the Fylde Conservative Association yet again prove themselves a bunch of nutty nincompoops by sharing tweets about “vile degenerates” making “sexually explicit” comments

The Fylde Conservative Association clearly didn’t give two hoots when the MP they have repeatedly supported since his selection as a candidate in 2008, Mark Menzies, got accused of shady sexual shenanigans with a 19-year-old Brazilian male hooker named Rogerio Santos in 2014.

At that time, when Santos alleged pugnacious politician Menzies asked him to “buy ‘the poor man’s cocaine’ methedrone” and “have sex with him,” then Councillor Brenda Ackers brazenly barracked: “He has the total support of myself and two other members of the management team, they both support Mark also. [Members will be] very upset, both on Mark’s behalf and the fact that we like things to run smoothly in Fylde.”

This very same gaggle of gaga grannies that Ackers headed also didn’t give two hoots when this Scottish born Roman Catholic faced a police investigation for allegedly getting a dog pissed-off-its-skull in 2015. Equally, they didn’t give two hoots that this menace-to-men also faced further police questioning for “brawling” with a friend in 2015.

Later that year, the very same membership of the Fylde Conservative Association – when Menzies was subsequently proven “just” to have stood on and taken pictures whilst yet another of his so-called “friends” getting the aforementioned pooch pissed to the point of “poisoned” and “intoxicated” – clearly chose to show not an ounce of moral backbone. They again selected this raging rotten-to-his-core ratbag in 2017 and 2019.

Now, as mucky Menzies faces allegations that he misused party funds to “pay some bad people” in yet another sexual scandal involving multiple men, the Fylde Conservative Association have yet again swept the issue-in-hand under the carpet. On Tuesday, on their Twitter feed, this bunch of brazen buffoons reposted a tweet by Rishi Sunak.

It read: “This government is cracking down on the vile degenerates who make sexually explicit ‘deepfakes.’ We’re introducing a new law to ban the creation of these distressing and abusing images… Making a sexually explicit ‘deepfake’ image without consent is to become a new offence, with those convicted facing a criminal record and an unlimited fine.”

Curiously however, the Fylde Conservative Association – whose members would definitely feel at home with other “naughty Tory” sex pests including Charlie Elphicke and “bum groper” Chris Pincher – failed to make any mention of their views on Mark Menzies and his “middle of the night” activities involving one of their number paying “money after [Menzies] meeting a man he met on a dating website.”

According to The Guardian: “The source said Menzies had gone to the man’s flat, before going with another man to a second address, where he continued drinking. People at the address falsely claimed he had been sick and demanded £5,000 for cleaning up and other expenses, according to this account.”

“The source close to Menzies told The Times he paid the money because he was afraid of what would happen if he refused, but had insufficient funds in his own savings. They claimed he offered to repay the sum, but that local Tories who controlled the campaign funds said he did not need to.”

Whatever next for the Fylde Conservative Association? A party fundraiser for ‘Not-So-Dishy-Rishi’ down the local male brothel in Lytham St Annes?

The Fylde Conservative Association (FCA) showed no sense of shame for their support since 2008 of Mark Menzies – a mouse not a man capable of waking old ladies at 3.15am to demand help in paying off “bad people” he’d supposedly hooked up with via gay dating websites. Instead, on the very day Menzies was exposed by ‘The Times’ – and after they clearly would have been approached for comment – they opted to retweet a missive about Rishi Sunak’s government “cracking down on the vile degenerates who make sexually explicit ‘deepfakes’” and which mentioned a “new law to ban the creation of these distressing and offensive images.” Perhaps, the concept of those in glass houses and stones had passed the gaga grannies and grandpas of Fylde that form the FCA by, but maybe they should have dealt with their own local degenerate, Mark Menzies, at an earlier date given his previous form with Brazilian rent boys, photographing friends poisoning dogs and getting them drunk and “brawling” with supposed friends.

Forced to resign the Conservative whip on 17th April 2024, Mark Menzies has previous form having been the subject of front page about his activities with young men on several occasions. One is left asking: “What on earth was it about this scandal prone scrounger that made the Fylde Conservative Association to continue to select him as their parliamentary candidate four times from 2008 onwards? Could they really not find someone with more decency and dignity than this degenerate deadbeat?”

Mucky menace and former Marks & Spencer employee Menzies tweeted on the 12th April about “concerns” about St Annes beach. He failed to address the fact there have bene far more significant “concerns” about his personal behaviour for months. In an “exclusive” in which she “broke her silence” on Thursday 18th April 2024, the ‘Mirror’ reported that Katie Fieldhouse, 78, a former Lady of Mayoress of Fylde, said she received a call from Menzies at 3.15am on 1st December 2023, “in which he allegedly asked for £5,000 as he was locked in a flat with some ‘bad people’ … and branded his behaviour unacceptable.” Ms Fieldhouse claimed she “refused and called his office manager who later stumped up the sum, which had risen to £6,500. She was later reimbursed from a campaign fund paid for by donors, the paper reported… Ms Fieldhouse told the ‘Mirror’ that she later contacted the Tory party, in January to express her ‘concerns’ about Mr Menzies. ‘I spoke to the chief whip on the 3rd of January and told him my concerns’ she said. ‘All the things that had happened accumulated in my head. I came to the conclusion that something had to be done about it because I have a great fondness for my constituency. Ms Fieldhouse would not comment when asked if she thought the MP should resign. But she said: ‘I put my faith in the Conservative Party to deal with Mr Menzies.’ She continued: ‘I am a devout Conservative, all my life, and also a devout Christian, and I cannot accept his behaviour. It is very upsetting.’ Ms Fieldhouse said she was approached by ‘The Times’ after speaking to the chief whip. And she added: ‘I have read the article in ‘The Times.’ Everything in it is true.’” Ms Fieldhouse had previously not been named in ‘The Times’ article by senior investigations reporter Billy Kenber whilst Menzies responded: “I strongly dispute the allegations put to me. I have fully complied with all the rules for declarations. As there is an investigation ongoing I will not be commenting further.”

Brenda Ackers – who defended her chum Mark Menzies in 2015 by stating: “He has the total support of myself and two other members of the management team, they both support Mark also. [Members will be] very upset, both on Mark’s behalf and the fact that we like things to run smoothly in Fylde” – herself has form. In September 2013, according to Blackpool rag ‘The Gazette,’ Ms Ackers was “reprimanded by the mayor” for refusing to apologise for making “disrespectful remarks.” Speaking to the paper, she raged: “I don’t know why the mayor interrupted me because nothing that I said was in any way objectionable.” In turn “rebuking her,” another councillor stated: “When the mayor stands, the councillor sits down” as she was “greeted with heckles of ‘sit down, shut up.”

The Twitter handle of the repeatedly disgraced MP’s former constituency association has not even updated to reflect the fact that he is no longer a Conservative Member of Parliament.

The Art Of Freedom – Feckless Fraudster Inigo Philbrick Freed From Clink

Matthew Steeples reveals that £70 million art fraudster Inigo Philbrick has been disgracefully freed after just 1-year and and 8 months in jail in spite of being sentenced to 7-years in the clink

Art buyers everywhere beware; “The Talented Mr Philbrick” – as The New York Times’s Jacob Bernstein dubbed “vain” and “greedy” Inigo Philbrick in March 2020 – is once again a free man.

Featured in an article by The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this morning after a certain someone tipped them off, this 35-36-year-old American of age uncertain even (Wikipedia list this swindler as having been born in either 1987 or 1988) was released from prison on the 10^th February 2024 according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website.

In spite of being sentenced to just over 7 years in the clink for his fraudulent crimes, Philbrick’s release comes astonishingly exactly 1 year, 8 months and 18 days since he was sent down on 23^rd May 2022. He had previously spent one-and-half years in prison after being captured by the FBI whilst on the run in Port Vila, the capital of the Pacific isle of Vanatu on 11^th June 2020.

Devious degenerate Philbrick will now spend two years under conditions of supervised release. He will, however, most likely never repay the £67.8 million ($86 million) that he was ordered to repay in fraud restitution by Southern District of New York judge Sidney H. Stein. Other notable presided trials presided over by “fair-minded… giant of the court” Stein have numbered Senator Bob Menendez and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City ‘star’ Jen Shah.

Victims of this father of two by two different women, mouthy Made in Chelsea menace Victoria Baker-Harber and “Buenos Aires–born art adviser turned perfume maker” Francisca Mancini, included billionaire brothers David and Simon Reuben, art dealer Jay Jopling and son-in-law of Marc and Denise Rich art collector Kenny Schacter.

Philbrick’s ex-McKinsey & Company employee associate Robert Newland was separately sentenced to nearly two years in jail for his part in the crime. He was ordered to pay £53.3 million ($67.5 million) in restitution and forfeited four paintings and a Jean Prouvé desk.

Poundland Pinching Pest Out – Sex Pest Chris Pincher Resigns As An MP

As the grubby groper Chris Pincher resigns as an MP, this sex pest bizarrely pens a crass column in which he laments times passed when “life was to be lived and not loathed”

A ‘Poundland sex fiend’ best known for “arse squeezing” at the tony Carlton Club in London’s ritzy St James’s has finally done the decent thing and resigned.

The Right Honourable Chris Pincher, the 53-year-old now former Member of Parliament for Tamworth, groped two men in the private members’ club on the night of 21^st June 2022.

Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel subsequently found that the associate of Boris Johnson and former minister exhibited behaviour that “was completely inappropriate, profoundly damaging to the individuals concerned, and represented an abuse of power.” They added that he had “touched [one of] his victim’s bottom before moving his hand to touch and squeeze the witness’s testicles, which lasted for a few seconds.”

Formally announcing his resignation today and triggering a by-election in the process, the disgraced Tory stated:

“I have said already that I will not stand at the next general election. However, following the Independent Expert Panel’s decision I wanted to talk to my office team and family.”

“I do not want my constituents to be put to further uncertainty, and so in consequence I have made arrangements to resign and leave the Commons.”

Concluding in typically cowardy custard fashion, Pincher concluded:

“Tamworth is a wonderful place and it has been an honour to represent its people. I shall make no further comment at this time.”

Shockingly and in spite of the scandal surrounding him, in the August-September issue of The Critic magazine, Pincher has been given space to share his views. In an article about Alvis cars, the ‘trouser department sex pest’ shared his view that “owning an Alvis has never been for tight wallets or shallow pockets” and then whined:

“They are beautiful cars, redolent of an age when motoring meant adventure, freedom and fun, long before we all began to fret about the future and flog our friends and ourselves for daring to show some spirit and enjoy the day. It was a better time when life was to be lived not loathed. Boris Johnson would suit an Alvis.”

It is unknown if Pincher remains a member of the Carlton Club or if he actually himself owns an Alvis, but what is most definitely for sure is that this grubby groper will go down in history as one of the key reasons for the fall of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.

Christopher Pincher has now revised his Twitter account and states himself to be “formerly” the Member of Parliament for Tamworth. He’ll simply now go down in history as nothing but another filthy Tory scumbag.

Other Tory twerps who’ll go down in history as ‘Sex Pests’ (at the very least)…

Now ex-MP Neil Parish will forever just be remembered at for watching ‘tractor porn’ whilst sitting in the Chamber of the House of Commons. This creepy farmer turned Tory will go down in history as a grubby, skid-mark on parliamentary history. Mr Parish laughably claimed later that what he had done was “very immoral” but not illegal; he argued that he’d actually been looking at Class Dominator tractors, a brand of combine harvesters.

Another person who thought she could make the House of Commons a “sexual area” was Sally Bercow, the wife of the now former Speaker, John Bercow. She is pictured here in their home within the Palace of Westminster clad in nothing but a sheet. That she went on to have an affair with her own husband’s cousin, Alan Bercow, about says all that needs to be said.

In April 2022, the Conservative MP for Somerton and Frome, David Warburton, was accused of sexually harassing three women. He was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric hospital, pictured in a photograph with lines of what looked like cocaine and was also revealed to have taken a loan of £150,000 from a Russian businessman through a Seychelles company without declaring it. This member of Mensa was subsequently suspended from the Tories awaiting the outcome of an Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) investigation into allegations of harassment and drug abuse.

Another decidedly dodgy MP still in the House of Commons is Rob Roberts. The Member for Delyn “acted inappropriately after he sought to engage in a relationship with a male member of his staff,” according to a report in May 2021. This former “financial planner” was elected as a Conservative, but still shockingly sits as an independent to this day, but has now “separated” from his wife Alexandra Roberts supposedly.

In April 2022, Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan was jailed for groping a 15-year-old boy in 2008. He was expelled from the Conservative Party and resigned as an MP. He subsequently appealed, but failed to convince anyone that he was anything but a nonce in December 2022.

The ultimate examples in Tory sex pest scum are Charlie Elphicke – a now convicted, ex-MP and sex offender – and his wicked, immigrant hating scumbag wife, Natalie Elphicke. That the Conservatives gave this woman her criminal husband’s seat to make her own speaks volumes as to how the once great political party of Margaret Thatcher feels about making monsters pay for sex crimes.

The Jim & Dan Show Up – Toerags Dan Wootton & Jim Davidson

In allowing Jim Davidson and Dan Wootton to show up together, all GB News achieves is to prove that their joke of a channel is beyond the pale

Jim Davidson is rat-like-rogue who has ‘nice’ things to say about the paedophile Gary Glitter; Dan Wootton is a rat-like-rotter who has ‘nasty’ things to say about lovely old ladies like Susan Boyle.

Surprise, surprise (with no Cilla Black bonus) to hear that the two spent part of yesterday uniting to chat on GB News last night. Whilst the sentiment of criticising Just Stop Oil is something most sane folk can agree with, the fact that this supposed attempt a news channel thought it appropriate to bring these two together was beyond the pale.

If GB News wishes to be taken seriously as a news force, it should certainly take Dan Wootton off air until the investigation into his alleged activities is complete. Equally, if GB News wants to prove it doesn’t associate with 1980s style bigotry, it’d have never have put Jim Davidson on the air in the first place. It is time that these two grimmer than Darren Grimes even grotbags were simply told “don’t bother to show up again.”

GB News is about the only channel that will now accept the weird warblings of these two utter berks.

In June 2021, foul-mouthed ‘5×3’ (five kids by three of his five wives) Jim Davidson said of the still jailed child abuser Gary Glitter: “I spoke to Paul [Gadd, AKA ‘Gary Glitter’] when I visited The Verne [prison] two years. He’s remorseful and he looked ready to start a new life.” That this loathsome individual thought it appropriate to share such sentiments speaks volumes as to where his most definitely lacking moral compass is directly.

Dan Wootton – currently under investigation by amongst others News UK – once said of Susan Boyle: “Volatile… Forced to shop Tesco and travel by bus.” He has also been known to have a pop at David and Victoria Beckham and Johnny Depp amongst many others.

Deserved “public hate figure” Jim Davidson OBE’s worst moments…

On Great Yarmouth:

“Full of fat children of all colours.”

On London and the UK:

“I am never coming to London again… I may as well go to Dubai and be an ethnic minority there than wait five years till I become one here.”

On former UKIP leader Nigel Farage:

“The Jim Davidson of the political world.”

On beating up one of his four ex-wives:

“We’re like a couple of boxers. On the first occasion, I poked her in the eye by accident. I actually went for the mouth… The second time I gave her a shiner. I threw a bunch of keys which whacked her in the eye. Just for a giggle she kept blackening it up to make it look worse.”

“I took the wife out last night; one punch!”

On supposedly giving up on making jokes about black people:

“I can’t do impressions of Frank Bruno or Ian Wright? That’s racist, is it? But I can do Sven-Göran Eriksson?”

“I’m not going to get on my knee, and I’m not going to go ever black person I see, ‘hail you.’ I’m not going to apologise for the past; the past was the past.”

On Black Lives Matter protestors:

“Pondlife… F**king stupid.”

Of his thoughts about his chum Boris Johnson:

“Don’t listen with mother.”

On Piers Morgan (after he was paid to appear on his Life Stories programme):

“You don’t deserve to listen to anyone’s life story because you don’t f**king listen.”

On the BBC and the NHS:

“I was a smell under peoples’ noses… I’m totally erased; I am the statue that’s thrown into Bristol Docks… They gave me a million quid to go away.”

“I hate the BBC with a passion. It’s a toss-up between them and the NHS who I hate the most.”

Proving himself the ultimate ‘Brain of Britain’:

“People who do stupid things with hazardous materials often die.”

After being declared bankrupt:

“My problem is money.”

On himself:

“I could cure Aids and give £1 billion to womens’ groups and people would still think I was a racist, sexist twat”.

“I’m a homophobic arsehole.”

Delusional and deservedly disliked Dan Wootton’s worst moments…

On Dominic Cummings (who’d probably have preferred even Katie Hopkins as a defender):

“Make no mistake, the establishment is out to get Dominic Cummings… I despair.”

On footballer David Beckham and his singer turned fashion designer wife Victoria (whose fans responded with fury):

“Weird and creepy.”

On singer George Shelley (whose unsurprisingly fans got equally upset)

“[He’s] done a Tom Daley and come out as bisexual.”

On singer Susan Boyle (whose management hit back with a denial):

“Volatile… Forced to shop Tesco and travel by bus.”

On political activist and Novara Media editor Ash Sarkar (before he “shut her down” during a “fiery conversation”):

“Grasping.”

On Celebrity Masterchef winner Emma Kennedy (who reported him to Ofcom and threated to sue him with the help of Carter Ruck):

“Deranged Boris hater.”

On actor Johnny Depp (who sued him for defamation):

“Wife beater.”

Poundland Pinching Pincher – “Arse Squeezing” Tory Terror Chris Pincher MP Must Be Punched Out

Grubby groper Chris Pincher MP must now be thrown out of Parliament unceremoniously; this filthy disgrace should be chucked off the terrace and into the Thames along with the rest of the raging sex pests amongst his creepiest of colleagues

“Pincher by name and a pincher by nature” and “a pound shop Harvey Weinstein” are just two of the appropriately noxious nicknames attributed by former Conservative colleagues to the slammed as “shocking by any standards” The Right Honourable Chris Pincher MP.

The “full on grope” loving Member of Parliament for Tamworth “brought the House into disrepute” and most worthily was given an eight-week suspension after being condemned by the Standards Committee for doing “significant” damage to public life. The now former Prime Minister Boris Johnson had first been made aware of “alleged misconduct” about Pincher in 2017, yet chose to completely ignore this in the subsequent five years and in subsequent Cabinet level appointments.

Referencing 53-year-old, Walsall born Pincher’s filthy antics at the once tony Carlton Club in London on 29^th June 2022 – which included what one victim referenced as “squeezing [his] arse” and “kind of grabbing where [his] testicles [were]” and “squeezing” – the Commissioner raged:

“[It is a matter] of fact [that] Mr Pincher groped two individuals.”

“Mr Pincher touched the first individual (the complainant) on his arm and neck, before groping his bottom. Mr Pincher groped the second person on his bottom and then groped his testicles (Witness 3).”

“The damage that has been caused to the reputation and integrity of the House and its Members cannot be described as trivial, unnoteworthy, or not important to address.”

“The damage is significant. It involves behaviour that by any standards was shocking, deeply inappropriate, and adversely impacted two unsuspecting individuals who had no expectation that they would be subjected to such behaviour.”

“Further, it was conduct that risks advancing a misplaced public perception that Members of Parliament do not have to abide by normal standards of behaviour and can commit acts of misconduct with impunity.”

Given that any suspension over 10 days is likely to generate a recall petition, this morning Sky News’s Tamara Cohen suggested:

“I think a by-election is very likely [in Tamworth]… This could be a fifth one for Rishi Sunak.”

It is unknown as to whether Mr Pincher remains a member of the Carlton Club or whether he was expelled, but equally it should now be enquired as to if, and if not why, the Metropolitan Police have taken actions against him. Given creepy actor Kevin Spacey’s current trial involves similar allegations, if they don’t, this sordid saga could pile further disgrace on the police formerly headed by Dame Cressida Dick.

Elsewhere on social media, The Steeple Times’s Matthew Steeples conducted a poll (see below) and added:

“Given there are over 50 individual cases of MPs accused of sexual misconduct out of the 650 MPs currently in the House of Commons, if this mucky matter isn’t dealt with at a higher level, public confidence in Parliament will fall only further. How on earth can the public trust Members of Parliament to represent us, when so many of them cannot help but keep their filthy hands off members of that very same public?”

Is alleged bottom pincher @ChrisPincher MP going to pay the price of his alleged bottom pinching by losing his currently @Conservatives held seat? #ChrisPincher #Pincher #groping #gropegate #Conservatives #politics #ToryScumOut
— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) July 6, 2023

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Is alleged bottom pincher Chris Pincher MP going to pay the price of his alleged bottom pinching by losing his currently Conservatives held seat?” By 11:30am on Thursday 6^th July 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the answers: “Yes; definitely deserved” and “Yes; and put him in the stocks.”

Other Tory twerps who’ll go down in history as ‘Sex Pests’ (at the very least)…

Now ex-MP Neil Parish will forever just be remembered at for watching ‘tractor porn’ whilst sitting in the Chamber of the House of Commons. This creepy farmer turned Tory will go down in history as a grubby, skid-mark on parliamentary history. Mr Parish laughably claimed later that what he had done was “very immoral” but not illegal; he argued that he’d actually been looking at Class Dominator tractors, a brand of combine harvesters.

Another person who thought she could make the House of Commons a “sexual area” was Sally Bercow, the wife of the now former Speaker, John Bercow. She is pictured here in their home within the Palace of Westminster clad in nothing but a sheet. That she went on to have an affair with her own husband’s cousin, Alan Bercow, about says all that needs to be said.

In April 2022, the Conservative MP for Somerton and Frome, David Warburton, was accused of sexually harassing three women. He was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric hospital, pictured in a photograph with lines of what looked like cocaine and was also revealed to have taken a loan of £150,000 from a Russian businessman through a Seychelles company without declaring it. This member of Mensa was subsequently suspended from the Tories awaiting the outcome of an Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) investigation into allegations of harassment and drug abuse.

Another decidedly dodgy MP still in the House of Commons is Rob Roberts. The Member for Delyn “acted inappropriately after he sought to engage in a relationship with a male member of his staff,” according to a report in May 2021. This former “financial planner” was elected as a Conservative, but still shockingly sits as an independent to this day, but has now “separated” from his wife Alexandra Roberts supposedly.

In April 2022, Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan was jailed for groping a 15-year-old boy in 2008. He was expelled from the Conservative Party and resigned as an MP. He subsequently appealed, but failed to convince anyone that he was anything but a nonce in December 2022.

The ultimate examples in Tory sex pest scum are Charlie Elphicke – a now convicted, ex-MP and sex offender – and his wicked, immigrant hating scumbag wife, Natalie Elphicke. That the Conservatives gave this woman her criminal husband’s seat to make her own speaks volumes as to how the once great political party of Margaret Thatcher feels about making monsters pay for sex crimes.

Dirty Deviant Daphne Does It Again… Daphne Barak Stoops To New Low
As dirty deviant Daphne Barak peddles stories about Fergie’s cancer battle, Matthew Steeples reminds that this toady turd-like twaddler should simply be silenced

Nobody in their right mind would ever wish ill-health on anyone other than perhaps Hitler or Stalin, but though I join with all wishing Sarah, Duchess of York a full and fast recovery from cancer, I today have to call out her pugnacious ‘pal’ Daphne Barak for raking over the story of her mastectomy.

Ms Barak – whom it must be noted is a ‘mate’ also of sexually sordid sorts including Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump – is clearly one of those women who flocks to grime in the way that flies flock to cow dung.

Today, the cousin of a former Prime Minister of Israel who enjoyed hanging out with the Ponzi scheming paedophile Jeffrey Epstein shared her latest tittle-tattle in both The Sun on Sunday and The Mail on Sunday. In doing so illustrated her inability to be impartial in her reporting and provided yet further proof that she is nothing but a shoveler of spurious spam and someone whose stories should be taken with a pinch of salt.

For the Mail, bumbling berk Barak salivated: “When my dear friend Sarah Ferguson found out she had cancer, she broke the news in her typical, irrepressible style.” The garbling ghoul – clearly illustrating not an ounce of sympathy for the victims of a bunch of privileged paedophiles – then crassly crowed: “I was sure it was in no small part due to the stress Sarah has endured from all the ‘nonsense’ as we often referred to it – that is to say supported her ex-husband Prince Andrew over being forced to quit his official Royal duties over his friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.”

In The Sun, pretending to be ‘Little Miss Generous,’ this driveling douchebag attempted to persuade readers of how kind hearted she truly is. The cretinous creep crowed: “I sent her a bouquet of purple flowers, her favourite colour.” Perhaps, if genuinely a decent person, the shameless scrapbag Daphne Barak might do something else; donate her hefty fees from The Sun on Sunday and The Mail on Sunday to a cancer charity.

Questions for Daphne Barak

In October 2022, we asked a number of questions of Daphne Barak after she published prison ‘interviews’ with her chum Ghislaine Maxwell. She failed to answer them then, so we again ask them now:
- Why did the American authorities allow a prisoner to give such interviews so soon after her conviction?
- Did the authorities not consider the impact such interviews would have on the victims of this convicted sex trafficking nonce and grubby groping abuser?
- What is the agenda of Daphne Barak and what involvement did Kevin Maxwell and his siblings have in setting up these interviews?
- Did PR peddlers for the mucky madam – such as Brian Basham, Jay Beecher and Ross Gow – have any involvement in the bringing about of these interviews?
- Why did this so-called ‘journalist’ not ask anything about what this mucky madam feels about the impact of her actions on her many victims?
- Why did this so-called ‘journalist’ not ask anything about this mucky madam’s secret marriage to Scott Borgerson in 2015?
- Why did this so-called ‘journalist’ not ask why Ghislaine Maxwell – someone she’s associated with for at least 30 years – hasn’t paid off her debts to her lawyers?

End of ‘Endgame’? Omid Scobie Delays Tittle-Tattling Tripe
As plastic-not-fantastic Omid Scobie delays publication of ‘Endgame’ until November, could it be that November might actually be the end of the ‘game’ of the mendacious menace Meghan Markle?

Despite having been clearly ‘dragged’ up in Britain, Omid Scobie likes to play to the American gallery. With his references to the “royal beat” and “out fall” talk about his forthcoming tittle-tattling dire drivel, this plastic-not-fantastic freak, it seems, has delayed publication of his latest tub of tripe, Endgame, supposedly until November.

Though many asked “why might this be?” this morning, Matthew Steeples enquired more pointedly about the delay on Twitter and was met with a barrage of responses. They numbered missives that included:

“Meghan is apparently lazy and can’t get off her ass to write for him.”

“Most likely the threat of legal action.”

“Earthshot Prize 2023 takes place on 7^th November. Of course, it is just a coincidence right?”

“Probably wants to ruin the King’s 75^th birthday. All the headlines in November will be about Omid Scabies and MeGain.”

Akin to the dopey dog that he well and truly can be categorised as, Scobie – nicknamed by many ‘Scabies’ and a chap spotted recently by the distinguished journalist Alexis Parr at The Dorchester bizarrely “sheepishly” sporting what resembled a set of pyjamas – recently pathetically spilled his gruesome guts for Prince Harry in his court case against the Mirror. Now, as a result, this tedious twerp is likely being rewarded with a ‘juicy bone’ and will be able to profit personally if his book makes it to press (second time) on-time.

Why has Omid Scobie @scobie delayed publication of his tittle-tattling tripe 'Endgame'? #OmidScobie #Scobie #Harkles #Endgame #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry #DukeOfSussex #DuchessOfSussex #MeghanMarkleExposed #MeghanAndHarry #Meghan #MeghanMarkleIsAConArtist #royal #royalty #lies
— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) June 29, 2023

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Why has Omid Scobie delayed publication of his tittle-tattling tripe ‘Endgame’?” By 11:30am on Thursday 29^th June 2023, the very, very clear majority of respondents favoured the answer: “His boss Meg told him to.”

What’s the truth about the many ‘curious stories’ that abound about the Duchess of Sussex?
- In November 2021, the duchess was forced to apologise to the Appeal Court in London for making a misleading statement in her privacy case against The Mail on Sunday’s publishers.
- Her very own father, Thomas, has called out her many untruths about him and others again, again and again.
- Of her claiming having got married the day before she actually did, Mr Markle stated: “Lying about the archbishop? How can you say: ‘We’ve been married three days before we got married’? Her lies are so obvious, I don’t know why she says them.”
- Her very own half-sister, Samantha Markle, who is currently bringing a defamation case against her, has called her out as a liar on multiple occasions also. It has been proven that the duchess’s claim that she hasn’t seen her sibling in over 20 years was untrue given a photo of the pair together 14 years ago proves quite to the contrary.
- Her very own half-brother, Thomas Jr., said of her: “I told Prince Harry, I think she’s going to ruin your life. She’s very shallow… She’s a phony, a bully, a jaded, shallow, conceited woman.”
- The wife of Prince Harry has been called out on multiple occasions for spinning stories against other members of the royal family, most especially the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Queen Camilla.
- Staff who’ve worked for her have complained that she is a bully and investigations into this remain ongoing.
- The Duchess of Sussex is a known manipulator of the press and paparazzis and it has been claimed that she’ll “twist the truth” to get any headline she wants.
- Questions remain as to how many times she’s actually been married in total. Some say twice, some say thrice.
- What’s the truth about Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland? Is this clearly equally manipulative woman an honest and decent citizen or is she a jailbird who has spent time in the clink?
- Did the ‘Montecito Meddler’ meet Prince Andrew or Prince Harry first? Rumours abound that she could have spent time and holidayed with the former as long ago as 2001 and that her claim to have no prior knowledge of the royal family until 2016 is just utter baloney.
- “Would you trust this woman with a bargepole?” is something often asked of this money motivated minx.

Strike It Unlucky Schofield – Phillip Schofield’s Car-Crash BBC Interview Compared To Those Of Michael Barrymore & Prince Andrew

Further disaster strikes for telly box twerp Phillip Schofield as he strikes it unlucky and finds his TV tell-all compared to the car crash interviews of Michael Barrymore, Prince Andrew, Amber Heard and the Duchess of Sussex

Creepy crybaby cretin Phillip Schofield doesn’t have the option of excusing what he got upto with a youngster he met first (he claims) when the whippersnapper was just 15-years-old by claiming he was at a Pizza Express; equally, he probably doesn’t have the option as to using the excuse for what he got upto with Gordon T. Gopher also.

Very much like Prince Andrew – whom tried to claim he didn’t meet the then 17-year-old Virginia Roberts because he’d been in Woking’s most famous eatery, yet paid her £12 million nonetheless – however, the anything-but-sorry Schofield’s interview with the BBC’s Amol Rajan now finds itself compared to the non-sweaty royal’s Newsnight one in terms of it being a juggernaut wreck that would have been best avoided.

Very much deservedly mocked on social media as being in the league of disastrous interviews given previously by the likes of not only the late Queen Elizabeth II’s one with Emily Maitlis – which concluded with the presenter asking: “Is there anything left that has been unsaid that you would like to address now?” to which the rotten royal arrogantly answered: “No, I don’t think so. You have probably dragged out most of what is required” – here was a gluttony of gibberish that has now been likened to such given by the blubbing bore Amber Heard, the wicked wastrel formerly known as Meghan Markle and the bombastic bully Michael Barrymore.

Responding to a tweet about whether Schofield would be considered in a “better light” as a result of his Amol Rajan interview, crusading campaigner for justice Sue Homan, the first wife of the late Stuart Lubbock – an innocent father of two who was appallingly raped and murdered at the Essex bungalow of Michael Barrymore on the 31^st March 2001 – cuttingly observed: “Reminds me of someone.”

Homan’s point is indeed valid, but equally it might be time to realise that such people as Prince Andrew, Michael Barrymore, Amber Heard, Phillip Schofield and the Duchess of Sussex deserve only one thing. That one thing? Cancellation.

Which of these car-crash interviews will telly box twerp crybaby Phillip Schofield's 'rant-a-thon' to Amol Rajan be remembered as being most like? #PhillipSchofield #Schofield #Schofe #MichaelBarrymore #MeghanMarkle #Oprah #PrinceAndrew #AmberHeard #interview #TV #ThisMorning
— Matthew Steeples (@M_Steeples) June 3, 2023

This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples asked: “Which of these car-crash interviews will telly box twerp crybaby Phillip Schofield’s ‘rant-a-thon’ to Amol Rajan be remembered as being most like?” Options given included Michael Barrymore with Piers Morgan, the Duchess of Sussex with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Andrew with Emily Maitlis and any interview given by Amber Heard. By 11:30am on Saturday 3^rd June 2023, the majority of respondents favoured the option of the Duke of York’s ‘Newsnight’ nightmare.

Two others incapable of giving interviews without making total berks of themselves… ‘Turd leaver’ Amber Heard and daughter of alleged convicted ‘drug dealer’ Doria Ragland, the Duchess of Sussex.

The disgraced entertainer Michael Barrymore pictured ‘worshiping’ Sir Jimmy Savile in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house in January 2006. Of the late paedophile, at the time, the self-centred ex-television host – whose interview with Piers Morgan also was considered beyond repugnant – disgustingly declared: “When he came in I was blown away because it’s him and he never lets you down. I didn’t think seeing Jim and hearing Jim talking and being so personal and kind to me. I started to well up in there and thought here we go.”

Michael Barrymore disgustingly pretending to be Hitler (left) and the innocent victim of rape and murder at his home, father of two Stuart Lubbock (right).

Twitter compares the famous faces who’ve given the worst interviews known to man…

Justice for Stuart Lubbock – The people who need to man-up and tell the truth about what happened at Michael Barrymore’s home on 31^st March 2001…

Michael Parker (AKA Michael Barrymore) – Allegedly loudly said: “I need a f**k” in a taxi as he left the Millennium Nightclub to return to his home, the scene of the death of Stuart Lubbock. Barrymore later lied to a coroner’s court about facilitating drug taking at his house on the night in question also.

Barrymore claimed to have been first to have discovered the body of Stuart Lubbock at 5.45am, called his manager Mike Brown before the ambulance arrived and then left the premises. He admits that was “wrong” and also bizarrely told Piers Morgan that in spite of “knowing others were hiding secrets about what happened to Mr. Lubbock” that “I am not going to say their names. I just hope they are brave enough to come forward one day.”

Mike Brown – Agent of Michael Barrymore. Called to the property before emergency services arrived.

Kelly Campbell – Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened.

James Futters (sometimes spelt ‘Futers’) – A paper boy turned chef. Described as “a local from the village” and a “friend and neighbour of Barrymore.” Claimed to have been the first to discover the body with Simon Shaw and stated: “[It was not] Michael Barrymore and not Jonathan Kenney [who found him].” Later, of him the Evening Standard reported: “Barrymore offered James Futters a white powder on his finger saying: ‘Do you want to try this?’ Mr Futters told the inquest that he leaned forward and licked the powder.”

Claire Jones – Then aged 17. Had met Michael Barrymore for the first time on the night of the incident. Claimed not to have been aware of what happened but told the police that she “saw Barrymore rummaging through drawers and changing his clothes before police arrived. When he left the house, he had a ‘bundle of material’ under his arm,” according to the Evening Standard. “She added: ‘Jonathan (Kenney) was rushing through the bungalow before the ambulance and police arrived. I got the impression he was hiding something.’”

Jonathan Kenney – Estate agent, drag queen and Michael Barrymore’s then lover; later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged; known for having a “record of violence.” Claimed to have been the first to have discovered the body and is now aged 50.

Justin Merritt – A dustman from Essex. Later arrested on suspicion of murder but never charged. Later paid £30,000 by the News of the World for an interview in which he stated Barrymore had “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died.”

Kylie Merritt – Sister of Justin Merritt. She also alleged Barrymore “rubbed cocaine on Stuart Lubbock’s lips shortly before he died” (curiously in the wake of her brother selling his account of the night).

Simon Shaw – Described as “a local from the village.” Michael Barrymore supposedly “ran off” to Mr. Shaw’s house to “buy himself thinking time [for two hours] before he was questioned by the police [at 7.49am].”

In addition, others, who’ve never been identified could also have possibly been present. If they were, they should come forward or be named by those listed above.
