Florentine_Pogen Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The plot thickens.......................... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/19/revealed-journalist-behind-michelle-mone-film-also-worked-as-private-investigator-on-her-behalf "The carefully managed media rollout is part of what Mone has called “our fightback”. It is a battle that has been aided by Mark Williams-Thomas, who investigated, produced and presented the YouTube documentary, which was funded by PPE Medpro, and was sitting behind the couple when they were interviewed by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg. What Williams-Thomas did not reveal publicly, however, is that, alongside his journalistic role, he has also been working as a private investigator on behalf of Mone, Barrowman and PPE Medpro. In addition to trying to orchestrate a reputational comeback for the couple, Williams-Thomas has been assisting his clients in their efforts to hunt for the suspected source of years of Guardian articles revealing that Mone and Barrowman had been lying to the public." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really sure that required the Guardian to spell that out given the “credits” at the end of the marketing campaign! Quite clear that he had been on the payroll for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I’m hoping that this continues to play out publicly and those two grifting cnuts take down a few other Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I remember a few folk proclaiming that Moan would be thrown under the bus as soon as her COVID profiteering started being mentioned, as she was the most prominent working class tagalong to the ruling class. That does seem to have come to pass; she's certainly not any worse than the rest of them, but she's the only one being talked about now. Presumably she knows her place and figures she'll be taken care of in exchange for being publicly tarred and feathered (but not otherwise harmed financially or socially). Alarm bells if she suddenly starts talking about other people's scams, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Magic Mich had threatened journalists with legal action if they tried to connect her with her and Dougie’s own bullshit Medpro company, what she had really meant was she would be furious if people thought she wasn’t the type of person to try to profit from VIP access to a Tory government during a national crisis. “Deep down, she was just an every day shyster looking to make more in a week than most people would make in 10 life times. And please, please don’t bring hers or Dougie’s kids into it. Because they were only beneficiaries of the trust. They were completely accidental millionaires. That’s the sort of thing that could literally happen to anyone. There. Has that cleared everything up?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I occasionally get GBNews videos on my YouTube home page with their desperate clickbait headlines (the latest is "teacher's DON'T have to use chosen pronouns!" - 852 views). If the video's about a right-wing politician, it's always in support of them, even if they've been caught molesting badgers while looking at pictures of Hitler (yes, Michael Gove again). I've seen several of their videos in the past few days castigating the Moanster and calling for the book to be thrown at her, which tells you everything you need to know. She's not One Of Us, so she's fair game as a distraction. Everyone else was doing a difficult job at a very trying time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard of the guy until the PPE scam and he appears to have a lengthy rap sheet of dodgy activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
