DEPUTY PM GOES GRANDMA DANCING

raving idiot

How embarrassing....how low we have fallen. The Deputy Prime Minister of this once great country clubbing in Ibiza. 

She does look rather foolish.....but then she is.

PORTRAIT 'UNSETTLES' OUR NEW LEADER!

 

Gawd help us all! 

So, Starmer had to remove a very characterful portrait of Lady Thatcher as it 'unsettled' the poor bugger!

Imagine how 'unsettled' the Great Man would be if ever he had to lead the nation in war. It sounds as if he has mental health issues if so affected by a rather good portrait of a truly great leader.

Really quite embarrassing!

STUMBLING STARMER

When Johnson got his 80-seat majority he thought he could walk on water.  

Starmer is falling into the same trap.

The Dame is not a pub-goer but understands it to be central to the lives of many as it has for centuries. 

Starmer is a mundane criminal lawyer with the instincts of that breed. 

Stopping people from doing 'this and that' is very much part of his makeup.

The idea you can stop people smoking in pub gardens is likely to be unenforceable but maybe the PM has been discussing with the Chinese whether he could buy their facial recognition cameras?

Approval ratings for this man have slumped dramatically. This sort of initiative will not help.

Blair had a unique understanding of the 'art of the politically possible'. 

Starmer is not a political animal and lacks that special 'nous'.

Will we see next an attempt to stop people from smoking in their gardens? 

If tobacco is a toxic substance it should be banned but of course that would further decrease tax revenues to support the lousily managed NHS.

THE DAME 'GETS' BURKE AND CROMWELL

To bastardise Burke and later Cromwell....

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of mediocrity is for good men and (women) to do nothing

There are good and competent people on the Leadership Team. Thalassites, McVeigh and Kemahli spring to mind. 

Addenbroke and Rendall are also in the pack. Sadly, Taylor-Smith has probably had enough!

They take their roles seriously and attract little flak. 

Each could lead this council with elan and skill.

When Elizabeth Campbell announced she was carrying on they would have realised- had they been close to the history of that time-this was a re-run of the Cockell saga.

Campbell was a shoo-in at that time when there were no willing candidates. Those days are long past. 

Elizabeth Campbell is the final link to those troubled times.

Cockell was determined to hang on.

Why would he not? 

With a lush lifestyle on the back of the council and various allowances peaking at £125,000 a year it was a 'good number'.

Campbell has different reasons for not wanting to step down. Time for a fixed term of office to avoid this cuckooing.

The leadership team needs to do its duty by the people of the Royal Borough and demand the leader step down.

To miss-quote the great Cromwell, "In the name of the people of RBKC, go!"

COUNCIL EMPLOYEE TELLS THE DAME TO FUCK OFF!

 

This is an RBKC waste management vehicle parked irresponsibly for ten minutes on one of the busiest streets in Knightsbridge. 

Several witnesses looked on in amazement at the sheer stupidity and danger caused to other road users. 

What was especially idiotic and arrogant was that there was an obvious space he could have used.

After a while, the driver sauntered back. When the Dame and others suggested his parking was dangerous and irresponsible he smirked and said, "do you want my ID". 

 He then drove on for a few more feet whereupon the Dame walked over and asked for his ID. He then suggested the shocked old thing"fuck off"

The Dame decided to escalate the matter to the Waste Management Dept

Of course, the outcome was predictable. The driver said the old Dame had 'chased' him and gave the impression he was scared for his life. Now the Dame may be scary but at close to eighty it is rather unlikely a strapping and muscular young man would have been frightened of her.

What this episode shows is a decline in behaviour and a lack of proper management. It is all rather sad.

CAMPBELL GETS COCKELL DISEASE

Fighting for all of us!

Loyal Hornets will remember the sheer hell of getting Cockell to give up his massive allowance and hand over the leadership.

The Dame campaigned ruthlessly to expose his ways: she is proud of her role ridding K&C of this greedy man.

We now have a similar problem with Elizabeth Campbell. 

She promised that she would step down but has now changed her mind. 

She claims she has to stay to defend Conservative values and her decision has nothing to do with hanging on in the hope of a peerage!

Her involvement in the Grenfell tragedy precludes that.

Would those commenting refrain from being rude about the highly principled lady......

Her decision is quite wrong: there are better members of the leadership team than this uninspiring lady. In her tenure staffing levels have shot up and there is a systemic issue of management.

The Dame hears the admin offices in Hornet Street are dark and eerily quiet as staff continue to 'work' (used advisedly) from home.

No private company would ever allow this shambolic situation to exist. It should be noted that over 2000 extra staff have been recruited in the last couple of years. Small wonder council tax is so high.

Campbell should quit now.

NOT CLLR LADY FAULKS AGAIN!

Oscar Allsopp

Catherine Faulks's hatred of the old Dame knows no bounds ever since the old thing questioned whether her hubby, (Lord Ed) should have worked for a mate of the child killer, Mr Putin. 

Faulks even blamed the Dame for getting Private Eye on the case.....

Anyway, Faulks is in charge of safeguarding vulnerable children and young people so what could go wrong?

The other day one of her underlings in social services heard Kirstie Allsopp had allowed her 15-year-old son to go on an rail trip around Europe with a 16-year-old friend. 

The trip was carefully supervised and the duo had a perfectly safe trip returning home full of excitement.

What they never expected was to get this message from a ill-educated K&C  council social worker

Leaving aside the impertinence of putting yourself on first name terms and the lousy grammar the real question is what on earth has this life-enhancing trip to do with the council?

The real danger for 15-year-olds in this Royal Borough is getting back from school safely without gangs threatening them with knives and demanding their mobile phones or worse.

Social services need to focus on the real priority of ensuring that mad and bad parents don't kill/ brutalise their babies.

Sounds like this particular idiot rather liked the idea of pestering a celebrity!

With the council headcount soaring by 2000 over the last couple of years it seems that there are a few idle hands with bugger all to do but be a nuisance!

 

UKRAINE AND ITS 'SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION'

Russian refugees

Our council is spending a fortune in money and resources to house refugees from Ukraine.

A few questions are begged.

1. Surely Ukraine provides enough 'safe havens' without displaced people having to travel thousands of miles to live in Kensington & Chelsea?

2. When peace inevitably arrives will these people expect to stay on?

3. Why should K&C bear this burden: it is the most stretched of councils with long housing waiting lists. 

4. The Dame hears some of those are 'refugees' from Ukrainian conscription.

Any refugee should have been told to make his/her way to areas of the UK with less housing stress.

Finally, is the council proposing to open its arms to Russian refugees from Kursk?

It's the sort of idiotic PR stunt the £170k a year head of comms might well put up to Cllr Campbell.

DYLAN'S PAKISTAN 'LEGAL TEAM' THREATEN THE DAME WITH LETTER TO AMAZON!

Poor old Scott Dylan needs to concentrate on his upcoming sentencing. 

The Dame received this nonsense from the backstreets of Punjab.  Dylan's 'hot shot lawyer' has written to Amazon to moan!

You could not make it up....

The only 'Zubair Ahmad'  is a distinguished KC in Hare Court. Dylan's 'Mr Ahmad' claims to own the 'Work' which leads one to assume he actually made the AI generated image of his illustrious client....

JACK MASON AND SCOTT DYLAN COMPLAIN TO THE DAME!

This comment below was placed by friends of Mason and Dylan.

He asks why the Dame is gunning for Mason and Dylan: simple answer? Numerous victims of these two read the Dame. One from 2006 wrote to the Dame with details of Dylan's 'issues' in 2006 and the anger of victims.

He goes on to portray his friends as victims.

This is what Judge Rajah had to say about the duo. 

The judge described Mason’s “various explanations” of the transfer of shares to be “deliberate falsehoods” and “deliberately false evidence intended to deceive the Court”.

One gets the distinct impression the judge thinks Mason, Dylan and Antrobus are not to be trusted! 

And this is what the British media had to say:

and this is what Mason wrote to one victim:

A comment....

"I've always wondered why The Dame seems to have such a big problem with these individuals. (Anyone having dealings with these two has big problems)

Once again, it looks like The Dame is presenting a heavily biased narrative, similar to what we often see from The Business Desk, which, let’s be honest, isn’t really providing a balanced view of the situation in the true sense. (The truth and balanced view is as the judge lays out: are you suggesting Judge Rajah is part of a vendetta?)

You can tell that the journalist writing these stories has a vendetta. (No, the journalist is just one of many who have understood how Dylan and Mason operate)

It feels like they’re more interested in stirring up controversy rather than considering the emerging facts. From what I’ve gathered, it appears that Barclays' own employees caused this situation, and now they seem to be trying to silence those involved through costly legal battles. (Oh, so now it's Barclays fault that the duo were able to abstract close to £14 million...the Dame better try this one!)

Isn't this turning into a real David vs. Goliath story? How can anyone possibly take on both a major bank and the media and hope to come out on top? (Don't take £14m off a major bank is the answer and then you won't need to worry about getting your arses kicked)

I genuinely feel sorry for these individuals. (More fool you)

Come on, The Dame, you’re better than this one-sided coverage."

So, instead of legal threats and Google take downs why have you not tried to justify your history...especially the 2006 experience in Ireland?

MESSRS DYLAN AND MASON AND THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE RAJAH

The Dame has just returned from a summer cruise aboard her fabulous steam yacht. 

She tried to invite Mr Mason but unkind Mr Justice Rajah had ordered the retention of Mr Mason's passport. Can't think why!

In her absence, she found that Dylan and Mason had been furiously emailing Google claiming that the true and un-AI-tainted version of Dylan breached his copyright. As a result, Google removed the blog. 

Why is Dylan so keen to hide his looks?

That he is no 'looker' should not be grounds for censoring a blog acting in the public interest.

Mr Justice Rajah is one of the most skilled of Chancery silks. His summing up of the case is masterful.

You can read it HERE

SCOTT DYLAN AND FRIENDS WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD SILENCE THE DAME

 

Honourable Mr Justice Rajah...a Chancery Silk... and not a man to lie to

L to R Antrobus and Mason

 

But who is this? When the Dame published his pic before Dylan forced google to remove it.

He prefers this enhanced one below...and who wouldn't...talk about silk purses and sows' ears!

TRUE IMAGE OF DYLAN REMOVED SO AS NOT TO SHOCK READERS

This is not how Dylan looks!!!! Mail the Dame if you can bear to see the reality.

The Dame praises Michael Taylor(the Business Desk) and Kevin Gopal, the freelance journalist,  for their relentless forensic efforts. Who says we don't need investigative journalists!

Hornets will recall how Dylan and friends attempted to have FTHN taken down.... for months they succeeded. 

From The Business Desk

Michael Taylor, Editor

Two Manchester entrepreneurs behind Inc & Co have been found to be in contempt of court by breaching three freezing orders, the High Court in London has ruled.

Barclays Bank brought a civil case against Jack Mason and David Antrobus claiming they conspired to move assets offshore in breach of various freezing orders brought against them and their business associate Scott Dylan.

They face a further challenge from Barclays that £13.7m was taken from the bank without authorisation. Both Mason, the chief executive, and Antrobus, the chief technology officer of Inc & Co, claimed the asset transfers were done without their knowledge or consent.

In the Rolls Building at the Royal Courts of Justice Mr Justice Rajah said he found their evidence at different times to be “inherently incredible”, “strained credulity”, and contained “deliberate falsehoods”.

He said he was “satisfied, beyond reasonable doubt, that Mr Antrobus and Mr Mason breached..(various freezing orders) … by knowingly assisting or permitting” transfers of shares.

Barclays’ wider claim is that Dylan, Mason and Antrobus, and others, conspired to take assets to the value of £13.7m, for which they are subject to freezing orders. In defiance of those orders they transferred shares linked to Fresh Thinking Group, an independent capital investment group, now in liquidation, to two new entities set up in the offshore British Virgin Islands. 

Initially all three businessmen insisted the transfers were carried out by a Seychelles-based director “Rea Barreau” and that they were unaware of the transactions.

Yet in a dramatic about-turn after two days of the hearing Scott Dylan admitted to two breaches, which took his colleagues by surprise.

Dylan admitted that on or about 23 March 2022 he knowingly assisted in and/or permitted the breaches of freezing order by transferring shares to a British Virgin Islands company.

He also admitted to most of the “accepted facts” laid out in the Contempt Application against him with the express proviso that his acceptance is confined to the Contempt Application against him (including at any sentencing hearing) and will not be used or held against him for any other purpose.

The judge said he didn’t accept the explanation that the transfers were the work of “Rea Barreau”, nor that she was even appointed as a director of the businesses as was claimed.

The judge said both Antrobus and Mason “presented as competent, confident and able business people” and that “their evidence that they had naively and unquestioningly accepted important matters they were told by Mr Dylan or others, or signed important documents that were drafted for them by nameless people, strained credulity”.

After describing the unlikely scenario whereby directors of a company would have no contact “of any kind” with someone of the status “Rea Barreau” supposedly held, in a company subject to litigation and freezing orders, the judge went on to say: “There was no contact between them at all. This is very far removed from the real commercial world. It is inherently incredible.” 

On Mason’s evidence the Judge said: “I can be sure, and am sure, that Mr Mason’s various explanations about this alleged transfer of shares were deliberate falsehoods.”

Mason, Antrobus and Dylan will be sentenced for the contempt breach in October.

Mason, who lives in Barcelona, has been required to surrender his passport.

As previously reported on TheBusinessDesk.com, a court date of January 13, 2025, has been agreed for the full civil case brought by Barclays Bank against Dylan, Gareth Dylan, Dave Antrobus, plus Sally Ann Glover, a relative of one of the other defendants, over £13.7m it claims they took from the bank without authorisation and for their “personal enrichment”.

A second claim is brought against Fresh Thinking Group (now known as Old3 Limited), Mason and Inc Travel Group Limited (now known as Old2 Limited) which are both now in compulsory liquidation.

Barclays’ case is that all the individual defendants were also involved in a conspiracy to cause damage to Barclays by unlawful means. The defendants deny the conspiracy allegation and are contesting the claims made by Barclays.

The claims arise from the transfer, by subsidiaries of Fresh Thinking Group, of some £13.7m from accounts held with Barclays which, at the time, had no or no material credit balance. 

Barclays says that there were some 830 payments of amounts just below the £50,000 threshold that would have caused the payment requests to have been referred for further approval.

Barclays says that the money went to Fresh Thinking Group and one of its other subsidiaries, FT Ops Limited before onward disbursement and the “personal enrichment” of the defendants
