HAVE YOU BEEN A VICTIM????...or know of one???x

[sooty]

Morning!x I've copied this from my FB with a bit extra added.,...stuff i think you'd appreciate...Happy St George Day!x The stained glass window of St George is one of the pics in the Great East window of York Minster...the first depiction of him here in England...500 years ago!x I was very very....VERY fortunate to be at the Minster during this panels renovation...as every one of the 300 panels making up the window is being cleaned and releaded!





My courier firms role is in delivering the lead which comes from Belgium being used to replace the old! Each panel is taken down...about 3-4ft in size. Delicately taken apart....cleaned...and re-assembled with new lead and then the whole thing is being encased in like a double glazing seal! Said to last another 400 years! It's a 25 year project...although the supplier of lead in Belgium was puzzled when I said to him it is expected to last 400 years....he said he believed the quality of lead would last only 125 years!!!! Told the same to a friend who has his own stained glass firm based in Ilkley who was an apprentice at the Minster...he wasn't surprised as the heirachy who weren't 'hands on' made the decisions...and foot soldiers like him and these Ladies just do the work.....and is why he left apparently!!



On the day I took this pic...the St George panel...was on their work table!!!! I touched it and left a finger print for posterity!!!!! Shush!x I make them all happy when I visit....so....fair trade!!x





The England stained panel is in Fontevraud Abbey in France....a MUST visit....Henry ll...his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine and their Son Richard the Lionheart are all buried there...absolutely inspiring 'space' to be in. The 'majesty' is awesome. This is the first depiction of the 3 lions I was told...made roughly 800 years ago!x





I hope you've enjoyed the 'history' lesson! I share our history wherever i go. I visit 100's of Castles/ruins/Churches and ancient monuments each year...as a hobby! It's difficult to know what your level of interest...or knowledge is...but I know this...4/5 times a year...I survey folk at service stations on the motorways! I asked 100 people when in Sarn Services near Stoke last year....where York was and point it out on the map! There were truckers/van drivers...3 Policeman and the general public among the 100. Only 17 people went to it!!!!!! When I asked the same 100 to point to where they are now......only 47 got it right! Oh...and 1 Policeman out of the 3 was spot on! If folk don't know where a place is....then what do they know about it??!! I wonder what is being taught in schools these days.....and for sure Tom Toms and Google maps have a lot to answer for! For 20 years I drove around the UK with an AA road map...and bought a local street map when arriving in a town! Never recall getting lost.....always someone around to ask for help I found!!x The loss to our Nation....is massive i figure...so I do what I can to keep up the history/heritage knowledge for all!x Enjoy your St George's day!x

WOOOOWWWW!!x It's 3am here in the UK...i've got travel lag after a non stop 23 hour journey is my excuse....but I assume the 8 'guests' who are on line are International visitors....possibly from the USA and certainly from Oz...hi Linda and all!!x Her husband got the job of training Oz's Olympic horses....I moved them from Newmarket to Sydney....and THANK YOU for your kind words in a message!!x Nite nite...X

Evening!x I've copied this from my FB....."I was asked by some friends who have an autistic little fella to put together some of the grounds i've visited!x Ethan aged 11 comes to my shop and just grins at me throughout his visit...luvs it and my banter!! He also loves anything to do with football and like a toddler watches Barney or the Telletubbies...over and over again...Nathan does this with these kind of films...changing pictures with subtle music!x Enjoy!x"



For me...as someone whose been 'on the road' for 40 years regularly doing 1000+ miles a week in various capacities...covid...did have its positives!! Being on my own on the M1...M6...A1....for miles on end sometimes....was absolutely incredible...!!! Never forget it. The last time it was like that around the roads was when Lady Di's funeral was on the telly. I couldn't watch it....drove around Cambridge in deep thought...the roads were empty....RIP x I had a 'pass' to be out and about as I was collecting data about the epidemic...visiting hospitals...and any facility that had numbers of folk involved...usually 1000+. I took it upon myself to include many stadia in that remit!!x It was sad....and shocking...to see them all just doing nowt! I was also made aware intently of the impact it had on the Communitys UK wide. I value a 'ground'...whatever sport....for me it ain't about the sport....it's about the people...Community...and well being of the Country. They are hubs for all and its the people whom i've met at most venues. The Chairman/Gaffas and players i'll always have time for...but they...are all temporary. I meet the locals...fans...stewards...burger bar Bill's and Bettys...groundsmen and women...local charities involved in the clubs.....and use all that info gathered UK wide....to get things done where it counts!x When I speak in certain circles....folk listen. I walk it....end of x
There's a couple of pics at the Crucible in Sheffield on the vid......we supply the carpet for every major snooker tournament....nothing happens until we've been...done deal since Jocky Wilson and I met in 1980!!!! Steve Davies has a HUGE Northern Soul collection too....not as exclusive as mine tho....boring...not haha!!x.....WTF.....I knoooow....i'm everywhere....BELIEVE IT!!!!!x



Off to watch the fight. Tyson...traveller stock....different breed. I've looked after them all over the UK. My limo firm has often been the only one to let them hire one. Good job too as many Communitys and businesses have avoided suffering grief...and eased trouble between themselves across borders as a consequence of my involvement!!x Police across County's have appreciated it too. At Appleby Fair...the elders/gaffas tip their caps to me as I walk through the lot of them in my UJ shirt!!! The 'youth' part and whispers of 'that's Sooty'....ripples among em...and rightly so. Travel???...I sh*t em and they know it!! They also know I have every piece of vinyl they love from the 50's/60's and especially Elvis and rock n roll! I've done partys for 2000+ travellers...and they have absolute RAVES...and been some of my most favourite gigs too....WILD!! At any of their weddings...the men step aside and leave me to it...do as they are told in fact. The women all love me for it...and nobody sez a word. I figured if your confident at what you do among them...they respect you....simple as.
I'll say it as i've found it....the biggest pi** takers among the travelling Community....is the Catholic Church. I've told the Vicars that too. Horrific what i've witnessed them 'marry'....or 'confirmed'.....for SERIOUS cash....religious reasons my ar*e. Medieval feel to it all for me.

So Tyson...he's the ultimate 'lad'....fighter....that i've ever seen....and that's what every man who considers themselves traveller stock....aspires too....to stand tall...and fight.....and get up again...and fight. He's a freak version of it. I like watching him...and hope he does well X



Going in mob handed to Cottenham Irish Traveller camp!



Cambs and Essex unification of 'family's...dynastys.....and destinies!!!x The Brides Mother tried to bully me in front of everyone.....BOOOOYYYY did her Daughter smile at me with relief when I shut her up.......it is a MANS domain after all....she and they all...respected that......their rules!!!!! It is the Bride I am there for....PERIOD. 300+ brides i've married as a DJ or chauffeur all will confirm the same!x Only about 15-20 of those should have married though.....sigh!x But its chillout for me....so...I chill.

EDIT....Tyson....what a let down. Notice I said above originally that I like 'watching' you. Ukraine mate.....you had the WORLD at your fists. Seek out Klitcshko Brothers vids...recent ones...like you they used to fight for money. Now...they do it for...survival. God didn't do you the ultimate favour sadly...perhaps me as a mere mortal should have made the effort to have got that message to you instead. But I thought it obvious....for a 'fighter'! Gypsy King?.....definitely...but you could have been the Greatest Showman...on earth. Checkout Muhammad Ali RIP...proper Statesman.

BORIS Et AL.....the Traveller Community...from the Cadonas in Glasgow...to the Showmen of Cornwall...and Fair folk who sort your lovely Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park out...and across 50+ traveller sites Nationwide...I know them all. Even the Romanian Gypsy's who frequent my shop consider me the ultimate Gypsy....respect indeed. These folk are a MASSIVELY wealthy lot....and Conservative in the main. Just another 'network' I have access to. Every Gaffa has 1000s in their 'influence'. All controlled by around 12 familys. I know the majority...and have their respect....earnt. Many votes. I suggest you get on with finding someone.......as they are rural voters in the main!!! Gertcha....

Afternoon!x Hang on.......HAHAHAHA...Boris...your announcement of a Football Regulator was hastily put together last week by 2 of your staff who spent 18 hours reviewing Tracey Crouch's report done when she was Sports Minister handed in last November...so good friends tell me down your patch. You think it a terrace vote winner??? You haven't even got a date or time frame for it to happen. 2024 is the earliest apparently. BULL*HIT. Tracey sez DO IT NOW...as do the fans...I reckon. In the main the League clubs rely on fan revenue attending games. They also have the least experience or 'clout' among the Boards in dealing with finance and 'takeovers'. They need protection and support. The Prem won't help...their revenues are generated with a totally different model. The top clubs make around £1500 per fan attending games in a season. Most in the Prem make around £800-£1000 per head. Pittance compared to other income streams they have. Like banks...they don't make money on the domestic account side that justifies the service. That explains what their 'Super League' was all about...no need for 'local' fans obviously.

Tracey Crouch Fan led review...

I was involved with WBA in the early 2000's due to friendships on their Board. I learnt much and it also helped Dan Ashworth step up to there from Cambridge United who ended up at the FA and luvly fella Andrew Pincher...'Pinch'...who also got a good word from me and went to WBA and now is hugely succesful at West Ham as Club Secretary! WBA back in 2001 had 145,000 web based fans around the world. At that time...they were making more revenue from those fans in shirts/merchandise than any croud chipped in for...that was 20 years ago!!x Clubs their size and above....don't rely on fans....at the gate! Checkout big clubs balance sheets for the covid lockdown. Prem clubs...it hardly made a dent in their performance figures to shareholders...all played behind closed doors. Those who do rely on fans...need help.....NOW. Stop lying Boris and do...or shut up. Getting a couple of kids to sort your brief is pi** poor. I learnt in 1983...'if you can't improve on silence....say nowt'. You sounded as sincere in getting this sorted as you do in making sure the waster who gave the 'legs' briefing will be outed. Death throws...simple as.



Dan Ashworth gets a start at Cambridge United...1st day!



'Pinch'...PROPER person X



Sky's Rob Hawthorne goes through the Sootification process at WBA!!x

From football moguls who don't need to consider local customers...to Internet firms who don't have to answer to anyone!!!! All these internet Social Media firms are untouchable. They do as they please and will do. I made my money 1st time round with IT...when Elon was 14. I was hosting 'chatrooms' around the world...in 1985. He hasn't bought it to improve humanity or assist in 'free speech'...its an EARNER...FULL STOP. Twitter...is for twits. I don't use it and never will. It stifles speech. 150 words??? Only suitable for the insulor or 1 line merchants who have no depth to their comment. Brilliant for the 'hi luvvy's' brigade granted. Then there's the anonymity...not a fair platform for accountability. It's why I ceased chatting on Cambridge United and other local websites. Anonymouses ruin the debate. By buying Twitter he's spent £125 on every Twitterer. That's what it owes him. He'll have that back off them within 5 years...I predict. Let loose...the dogs of advertising.......



In 1985...I get a job selling 'websites' on what was then BT's Prestel...the forerunner to the Internet. Invented by the Post Office in 1979...developed by BT in the 80's but died a death mid 90's. Accessed with a TV...modem and telephone. 90,000 businesses in the main used it at its peak. We were operating on the peripheries of it...fraudulently. Approaching businesses developing a UK Business Index built Town by Town...2 taxi firms...2 indian/2 Chinese restaraunts....whatever you wanted to approach really!!! We sold them a 4 page 'database' (Website) with full teletext type graphics!! We told the customer that EVERYONE will have Prestel...order food...buy clothes...chat to each other....that was 1985/6/7/8.......wayyy ahead of our time...and the platforms ability! It was only business to business usage with some games and bits and bobs here and there for the users. But...it was 'sold' on ignorance. By 1986 after setting up on my own I had 3 offices in Bridgend...Manchester and Cambridge churning out 200+ deals a week at £249+ VAT which was £286.35...back then!! I used to have 200+ cheques written for that amount on my desk weekly gathered by 120 staff selling to businesses UK wide! I was earning £20k a week and my top staff/salesman regularly earning £3k a week....back in 1986/7/8...£8k a week today!!! Yet not 1 customer would get a view to their 'website'...EVER. We'd make the numbers of accesses up to their page when we went to renew them!!! Nobody could prove different...or wanted to! We then moved up to taking money from Local Authority's....1/2 hour committee meetings were i'd sell them an 'in house' system tailored to their City/Town....charge £80k-£260k...for something that cost me £6k to supply!! Then we'd follow up with maintenance contracts...money for nowt again!!! Total ignorance...fraud...and we never saw 1 Policeman....until after the end.....and even then he took his 'pips' off to take us down!!!!!x



I sold my UK Business Index 'database' in 1990 for £1.2 million to BT. It was a comprehensive/indexed/regionalised 'website'....proper build and all working fine....it existed...just had no views!!! They shelved it...for 7 years. I got a call from the European Marketing Manager for BT based in France in July 1997. He said 'Hi Sooty you are the guy who built the UK Business Index aren't you?'...wow there's a memory sezz I....he replied with 'we want to relaunch it on a platform called the Internet.'!!!! Followed with offering me £1/2 million wages plus commissions on performance with a potential income of £3 mill a year...to head the UK advertising revenue department up. Sigh.......I said NO...heard it all before and I am paying pennance now by serving 'the people' and my Country in ways and means and I sleep tight. He tried to convince me the net was where it was at......but I had written the script in 1985....!!!! I was aware of the net...from a military/security aspect and not as a commercial potential back in 1997. But of course I knew it was an earner....and always will be!!!! I'd had enuff of taking the pi**. 3 salesman I trained in the 80's went on to greater things. They eventually became Board member of G4S who convinced the Govt that they could take care of the Olympics in 2012........£50 million they got for that non event. Yawn. Point is...the advertising industry hasn't changed...and neither have 'platforms' vulnerability...and indeed Elon will let them loose on YOU ALL...!!!  In fact given the potential and total control...GLOBALLY....i'd put a team together that would have that dosh back within 3 years hitting the users from all kinds of ways...easy meat!!

My 'website'...the UK Business Finder...built in the 80's was relaunched on the Internet using its frame and structure....you now know it as...Yell.com........! What do you say to 'kids' telesales who come on to me 37 years later saying 'we can put you on the top of Google'...and 'a 4 page website would do you'...........! Nowt...just smile...and be polite! x I still have my original telesales script from '85......word for word...the same. Its just got easier to take the peoples money. Twits.



France. Le Pen gains 3 million votes Macron loses 2 million. France is going to be preoccupied for the near future. Macron is now the 'leader' of Europe...the longest served. I predict the Unions demise and disintegration within the next 5 years. It has no foundation for success. Germany relying on Russia for its existence...Poland/Romania footing the Ukraine refugee bill...Hungary moaning too. Macron has his hands full at home...so there is no 'leader' for the Union. As i've said...the system...is finished. They're also pi**ed off at us because Boris nicked the limelight when nipping to the Ukraine during his Partygate diversion...so thats us sent to Coventry...hehe!!x



Last word here from me goes to Harry Billinge who was laid to rest today!x A TRUE hero...not for being one of the 1st to land on D Day...but for the service he paid to his fallen comrades after the war. His fundraising and constant reminders to us all about 'war'...and insistence on a memorial to his fallen friends. I sent him this picture several years back that I took randomly when in Dunkirk. Upon my return to Blighty I discovered a picture which was eerily reminiscent...'spooky'....! Harry had it put on his bedroom wall. Glad to have been of service to him...and a fine example he set for the likes of me to follow...RIP...Soldier x

Morning!x Copied from my FB x

"Morning!x I sent out around 30 emails/messages to football clubs/Fans orgs whom I know within 50 mile of Hull asking for donations 3 weeks ago. Over 20 responded with the latest being Grimsby Town who sent this lot to the Hull for Ukraine warehouse yesterday!!!x



GTFC was the first football club I supported during the Lawrie McMenemy years 71/73...I was aged 11. My mates mam and dad run the T bar under the Pontoon and so we arrived mid day and I watched the whole process happen as fans arrive/players and ready for kick off! I loved going each home game and it set me up to be a fan of football grounds ever since with moving to Cambridge after promotion with Town from the 4th to the 3rd Div...arrived in Cambridge '74 to witness Cambridge United do the very same with Ron Atkinson...consecutive promotion!





I had found a new place to watch the game too....sitting in the rafters of the Abbey...leading the singing!!! Blame Grimsby fans...they all did it....and I wondered why U's fans didn't?!...so I did!!! Last to do that circa '78!!!x Happy days!x Have a happy day all!x

Lawrie went on to fame from Town at Southampton. We knew each other when I was 11. I revisited him in the 90's. Returned a bag of Licourice Allsorts that he'd given me and my Siss one time. He couldn't remember the occasion....until reminded with the detail...place...and time. Shame no one took the time with him for such detail over the abuse suffered by players at Southampton during his involvement. That response he gave to it all was strangely familiar. Anyway...he's in his 80's now and so is my Mam. Leave it there.

Morning!x I had a call this morning from a good friend 'in the know'...apparently.......Boris's camp are now wondering who the 'mole' is feeding me...!!!! Boris......there ain't 1........I have 100's....!!!!x Theresa May...Amber Rudd...Keith Vaz...Cyril Smith and your latest 'outed' Wakefield MP and molester Imran Khan will all tell you........I'M EVERYWHERE. Think on...MP's get 4 years to get 'cosy' and familiar with their surroundings. I've been 'cosy' running around the UK...for 40 years. It's my home...my 'constituency'. I gather you're now trying to 'manage' the porngate saga. Behave....get the Whip on it...or...risk EVERY current individual being investigated for abusing another...around 50...many Conservatives...being outed........sod protocol. Many of my friends...are bored with you all. I gather at least 5 'researchers' are on this thread from Westminster end. The 'record' for visitors to this thread at any one time is 8...usually after i've posted. 15 were on line this morning before 8am....yet i hadn't posted since yesterday. As you are here...READ MY PRINT...I...am a messenger. The message is this..........FIND A LEADER....and be quick. P.S...pi** off Matt Hancock. Ask Theresa May and Amber Rudd......they thought they were smart in lying to the Grenfell folk. I showed them WHILST IN WESTMINSTER...'the people' were in charge of London...if we had chosen. Good job I 'managed' that...init. Mind you...Theresa has redeemed herself since being on the back benches. In fact...she's the best you've got tbf. I'm switching off for the weekend. I earn that. You lot...need to get 'on it'...I reckon. No need for paranoia either...ultimately...your surrounded......by friends of mine...at yours...and UK wide. FOCUS...on YOUR role.


Westminsters FINEST...RIP Keith Palmer...another good friend lost 'serving' us all x

For you 'regulars...I will be back this evening as I have received an inquiring message from a lost friend who was a Policeman...SUPER one...back in the 80's/90's/2000's in Cambridgeshire!. Great to hear from him as we always got on and he knows i've always been willing to be accountable too...and will answer all this evening!!x I've always had friendships among the Police. Great knowledge base as they know the craic...front line soldiers and i've always respected that and them and show my appreciation wherever I go and certainly pass that attitude onto my Baby gurl...!x







Lexy is 6...she loves wearing her Policemans hat!! I did the same with my 2 older children...taught them to respect the Police. Natalie now 32 applied to be a Forensic Scientist with the Police. She was accepted...then knocked back because of me...we had to assume. I felt sad about that. Police Forces loss I figured. However...she went to be a vet instead but met a luvly fella whilst at college whose dad owns a pharmaceutical research firm in which he's a Director!!! They married and have 2 kids and live in a house with a windmill on the end of it....and has her own Range Rover....Sport!..haha!! So....I don't take credit for it...but sometimes...things are meant to be!x She'd have made a proper Police Lady though...I reckon.

Sincere apologies folks...X I do what I say I'm going to do....and more. Unfortunately...my day was longer than expected and...err...painful! It's a price I have to pay when 'serving' the public!!!x After packing and getting ready for a weekend of fun...it's 3am...and sadly not enough time to give justice to my responses to the below as I need my kip! I will however be back to do that on Tuesday!!x

www.facebook.com/695036306/videos/351500213710943/

I received the following from an old friend...ex Policeman and super guy!x I haven't copied it verbatim as his language as always isn't suitable for Public placement haha!!X Equally some of the content was 'our' business of old and remains that way!x But the essence of what T's asked is here...and as you are reading it T then I'm sure you're happy with my interpretations and adjustments!!x

"Hi Sooty! It's T** R******* (Sgt) partner to I** M******* back in the 80'/90s! Long time no see my friend but I have certainly heard and read about you since we last met! I've followed your sagas with interest especially as I know there is usually an untold story that goes with them! I was given the link to this thread by a current officer who asked me to review it to see if I believed it! Before I read it, I assured him based on our dealing that whatever you had said is the way it usually is! But even I am struggling after reading all of it! I knew of your activities Prestel wise. I also remember with happiness Christmas golf tournaments that you sponsored for the Police Charities as a consequence of your success during the late 80s and early 90s. The occasion where Ray Seary gave your winning ticket back for a re-raffle believing it was his ticket has never left my memoirs! I will never forget your face as that full set of Spalding clubs went from your grip! It was probably the only time I knew you to be speechless and incapable of doing anything about something! Ray was a great guy but as soon as he'd had one too many then anything was possible! I'm sure you know he passed away some years back through the big C, sadly missed.
My reason for contacting you besides saying hi was to ask a couple of questions that have intrigued me for some years!
If I Google your name, several stories appear but the cigarette smuggling, unlicensed limousines, and your defending of Prince Charles are ones that feature prominently! May I ask, why did you smuggle the cigarettes? Was it really to help Cambridge United? Secondly, why not license your limousines? Considering the success of that business it seemed a no-brainer to be unlicensed? Lastly, why the hell did you go to prison for 2 weeks in 2018? I was told you insisted on going down! You had a new baby and were doing good, so why? I am prepared for answers that are off-planet, perhaps that's why I'm asking! Retirement can be boring!



CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED......! I have one more question, pips? You said in a post that the Policeman who 'took you down' removed his pips! Can you elaborate?
.....Wishing you and yours all the best and hope you don't mind me asking these questions! You can also tell me to eff off but I come as an old friend with no malicious intent and believe this message to you will be received as such! I live near S**** now and you are always welcome to drop by for a chat! I'm sure you know G**** H***** was eventually promoted to Deputy Chief Constable up North, did he ever thank you? He didn't us! I never saw that coming but you did. Sorry for doubting you and you deserved better from us both.X OMG, as they say, I can't believe I put one of your 'kisses'! You always have been infectious! Keep up the good work my old mucker!

He rose through the ranks to Detective and eventually in charge of the drug squad if i recall correctly! 3 BIG take downs in Cambridge and beyond of nasty folk...peedo's and women beaters...and closing 2 crack dens gave him his start to rising through the ranks!

Chillout over.
Well done Boris. Whip removed...porn MP removed. Keep up.

I now get on my knees and bow to Joe Biden...from one salesman to another. He's pulled off the biggest deal for his Country since the 2nd World War via a lend lease deal with Ukraine. I've come back to a message from a connected friend in the US who says the £27 billion will go through. Yet lesser requests for domestic purposes aren't being approved. Americans...they know where the value is. We finished paying off our lend lease deal for the 2nd WW help...60 years after we got it. The US return on their 'aid'...3 times the investment. Guaranteed earner. At least Ukraines gear won't go to the bottom of the Atlantic.....a 1/3 of ours did. Watertight deal. Nice one Joe.

Thanx Putin for targeting the grain store...if you did...Zelensky is now talking about World poverty....blaming you for it too!! I had mentioned it in here 3 weeks ago. It is a pressing issue whatever.

There...caught up. Been away for 3 days...met a couple of thousand folk...figured that methadone is possibly the biggest abused drug across 15+ towns and City's costing the taxpayer £millions...was told of 3 seperate Policemen on the take in 3 different Forces and that there isn't a British 'mob' left in any UK City that could confront the Eastern Block gangster element...ipso facto the UK Black Market economy is severely dented as most of that dosh now goes abroad rather than invested back here in the UK. Mr Bridger will be turning.......self preservation it is!x



I also figured Boris is pi**ing in the wind thinking he'll be forgiven...my survey of around 300 folk through casual chat representing 15-20 Towns led me to surmise. Locally...after visiting 20+ friends who serve tourists from hoteliers to restaurants and swag traders in chip pan alley along with pub owners across the Town...im pleased to report Skeggy is holding its own post covid!x Overall I figured the people were unhappy and looking to enjoy time out...so I played me records and all was well x Been at it for years.....all to just chill!!!!x

Boris...windfall tax on energy companys. Yes there is a need for investment in infrastructure and the future....BUT...for who? Plans change....situations arise...war happens...flexibility and extreme acts need applying. The 'investment' needs to be in the customer base...NOW. Stop pandering to your Hooraaa Henry's and back benchers whose inheritance is in BP shares. Labour and the Liberals will wind the people up with this one. Get on it...and be quick...or lose even more Councillors!

Evening!x You folk visiting this thread are 'net users'...you know the craic on social media platforms etc. But look around you...for whatever reason this 'forum' for Histon fans hasn't been used for 2 years...yet there is news to talk about as they have announced their backing of the Manager and renewed their commitment to him! After a quick review of their season and comments made in the press...they've done right...RESPECT...X So...this site has been abandoned by Histon fans I assume. But...you're here. That is down to my 37 year experience of surfing them waves BABY...WELCOME....!!X Check it out...24,000 reads and not one reply...UNBELIEVABLE...but I need it that way...one way. Much isn't up for discussion. I don't want to lie and often there is a bigger truth. I have created a one way portal...I speak.....you read. I don't need 'likes'...praise...comment or criticism. I'm best at doing that for myself taa. They are false indicators anyway. Take my ear/nose wax video posted in the post above from my FB...got 655 views at present....12 comments. The folk who look at my stuff...I know. They are independent in the main...succesful...shakers...movers...leaders...doers. We don't operate on token gestures or emoji sh*te. When I see them they will bring the subject up...ain't about virtual popularity for me...but about sharing happy...funny...informative stuff to the silent majority...in the real world. The internet...is just a vehicle to do that.....not a caravan to crash out in and think you've arrived!! That's why many profiled folk use me and my services...I know what the big picture is. I'm sorted...confident...no need for my ego to be stroked or to give it 'large'. I am large...know it...and drip it out there in measured quantities to suit. Andy Gray gave me a super compliment after chatting with him for half an hour after he thought it was going to be a 5 minute interview...he said...'Fu** me ah dinnae ken you was a proooo!!!'...and burst into nervous laughter after realising i'd took over his life!!! That was 2001. Richard knew better...and kept out of it. We'd worked together at motivational events in the late 80's...NEC Birmingham...he saw me ROCK 20,000 budding entrepreneurs with positive and dynamic chat straight off the cuff. He shook as we embraced too back then. It took a further 10 years for the football industry to deal with them. Had em sorted in 20 minutes...masogony splattered all over my digital tapes...only got 3 minutes usable public footage out of 25 minutes chat. Easy meat. Different league. Drip....drip..



Ronaldo...Messi...Suarez...Zlatan...Roy Keane...Dion Dublin...Teddy Sheringham all confident people...and know it. Elon Musk...Richard Branson...Alan Sugar...Simon Cowell...the same. But not all of us are in the public eye...or gifted with playing with a ball. But many apply that confidence...ability and passion...in serving 'the people'...without fame...favour or reward. Some of my greatest deeds...will never be known. Thats why they are great. I am often misunderstood. Some think its about 'me'. Never is...never will be. It's about YOU...and what I can do for you...teach you...help you with...because i can. Humanity is about taking...survival. But it takes a super human effort....to give...without expectation or reward...as a way of life. I didn't choose that....it found me. After seeing poverty....abuse...suffering...success and scammers......you either put yourself under a train...or use that knowledge to abuse and manipulate...or invest it into serving....the people. I chose the latter since the 80's...in the main. Philanthropy...that best covers it.


2 Teddy's!!!

Wherever I have gone in my lifes journey....since aged 18....folk have said I should write a book. I can't. If I could which one?! Brown baby born into a white society during the 60's/70's...novel? Had 5 seperate 'official' Dads but never met my own and only found out about him 2 years ago...Bollywood film actor comes to Hull and takes it over in the 50's...! Buys restauraunts/Nite clubs/'d hotels/houses and brings over scores of immigrants from India/Bangladesh and employed all of the families now based here...wealthy...succesful...owners of the big firms in Hull! I still get Mosque leaders coming into my shop asking if i'm Frank Anthony's eldest....I say yes....and they bow....in respect! They then tell the same story of how he brought all the families over in the 50's and 60's. Yet I want to say errr...he married 3 times had 7 kids 1 to a tennant...my Mam age 16 whilst he was married with 2 babies...and didn't give a toss about any of us...!!!....but I hold my counsell.....and cream what legacy he left me...and find i'm the only non Muslim welcome among the 'hard core' Muslims...in Hull. I'm the only one in Glasgow too but its nice to be accepted in your Birth Town by locals!x 



My Dad! Spookily...he married a young girl in his 70's and had a baby! I found that out AFTER i'd met a girl 30 years my junior...and we had a baby!!! Similar tastes in suits too...! But...I care about my kids. He never bothered getting in touch with me?! I've met 2 of his other children....they say he wasn't there as a Dad. So it appears the similarity's are only cosmetic.



Or what about a Foot Soldier type trilogy...Top Air Cadet in East Anglia during the mid 70's to 'football hooligan' arrested/ejected 35 times in 1 season 2 years later? All because a racist Policeman had an unnecessary attitude towards me riding a bike on the path...in my Air Cadet uniform. His choice. So instead of leading a squadron of men over the top...I lead 22 'lads' to prison! Attending 27 schools/kids homes/borstal/prison...! Living in a psychatric prison with paedophiles...rapists...murderers...as 'brothers'...intently for a year...! Helping Charlie Richardson escape from jail....could be the 4th film on its own!!! I read the 'Skinhead and Hells Angels' books when I was a teenager...saw Scum as a Youth...this whole story would be a best seller EASYYY!! ALL THE ABOVE DONE BEFORE THE AGE OF 18....then things start getting interesting!!!



How about discovering what many men were like from aged 7/8 as I watched them visit up market massage parlours around the Country? 50 shades of men. The rich....powerful...Councillors...Judges...Policemen...celebs...profiled folk...sports stars...Politicians...footballers...all have secret lives...some willing to leave their kids...wifes.....cos someone played with their winkle better. I could write an encyclopedia on that subject. My Mam has been a lesbian throughout her life whilst fitting 5 marriages to men in there. I understand her life story...she was a victim of abuse as a kid for 5 years. She never trusted a man with her feelings since aged 15....including me.......yet i've turned out to be the man she said wasn't out there. Loyal...faithful...considerate and loving to my partners. We haven't spoken for 5 years. Thats....a tragedy...of Shakespearian proportion...Jane Eyre at least! WW2 is to blame. The collateral hopefully is stopping with my generation. I digress.


Dad number 4...Pete RIP X Luvly Man...had a simple and sensible life and loved my mam for the right reasons. I hoped she'd be happy...but he loved her too much. Marriage lasted 18 months. He was a staunch Histon fan and we remained good friends until his death several years back x

So...whilst I can't write a 'book'...I can share what I can. Why? In the real world...i'm hands on. I cuddle folk...make them happy....listen to them....help them realise their worth. I ask everyone for their name....make things 'personal'. Always about them...YOU...but I don't speak about my real thoughts! Like my post on my FB about the weekend. I could have written loooads of honest stuff that would have given a totally different light on events. But its my choice...to make happy for the people publicly...and deal with the sh*te privately with the gaffas. Here...in my space.....I will say as it is. I'm a sponge...I soak up everyones unhappiness...boredness...concerns...hopes...dreams and passions...and drip that knowledge to where it needs quenching...because I can. My experiences are beyond most folks normal lives...I didn't choose it...i've dealt with it. Been dealing with lifes choices since aged 7. Left to protect my 5 year old sister as we were dumped at a Gothic house in a village owned by a Victorianesque foster family with devotion to Christ! When the man of the house slapped my Sister around the head for drawing her soup spoon towards her instead of away....I made a decision. I threw my soup at him grabbed my siss and run out of the door. We'd only been there 15 minutes. Fortunately the Social Workers car was just up the road in a layby. I screamed at my Mam as she stumbled out of the car that she was not caring about us and wanting to be with the Social Worker more! Innocence eh....she was a single Mam...they all tried their luck whichever County we lived in. A woman Social Worker was around for months too...stayed often...we all liked her! Incredibly we always had a roof over our heads. Fair trade back then....but predatory/grooming and outright abuse of vulnerable folk still goes on within the system...Nationally.


ME and siss

I apologised to my Mam for that one in the 80's. She told me he was the head of Social Services and got involved as we became homeless and gave her a choice of a hostel to stay in for druggies/alchys or place me and me siss with a family for a few days and she could stay at his....whilst he sorts a house out. She said they were waiting in the layby in case there was a reaction to the placement...standard procedure back then...but he couldn't keep his hands of her whilst waiting. A victim again. I realised aged 7...I had to deal with my own life. I have....and am willing to share what i've found out with all. It's about humanity really...and needs telling...but tbh....the Public can't handle it just randomly put out there. Truth hurts...or isn't believed through innocence and ignorance. Knowledge needs sharing though. Some need protecting from it too. Therefore....folk come here...by choice...and are prepared for it. You have been warned/advised....X

My Ex Police Sgt friend asked the following...

"If I Google your name, several stories appear but the cigarette smuggling, unlicensed limousines, and your defending of Prince Charles are ones that feature prominently! May I ask, why did you smuggle the cigarettes? Was it really to help Cambridge United? Secondly, why not license your limousines? Considering the success of that business it seemed a no-brainer to be unlicensed? Lastly, why the hell did you go to prison for 2 weeks in 2018? I was told you insisted on going down! You had a new baby and were doing good, so why? I am prepared for answers that are off-planet, perhaps that's why I'm asking! Retirement can be boring!"

Now i've laid the grounds out for modus operandi...I will answer as honest as I can tomorrow!x Liverpools just won too....so......chillout time!!!x

Evening!x(COME ON CITY!!!)

My Ex Police Sgt friend T** asked the following...

"If I Google your name, several stories appear but the cigarette smuggling, unlicensed limousines, and your defending of Prince Charles are ones that feature prominently! May I ask, why did you smuggle the cigarettes? Was it really to help Cambridge United? Secondly, why not license your limousines? Considering the success of that business it seemed a no-brainer to be unlicensed? Lastly, why the hell did you go to prison for 2 weeks in 2018? I was told you insisted on going down! You had a new baby and were doing good, so why? I am prepared for answers that are off-planet, perhaps that's why I'm asking! Retirement can be boring!"

"May I ask, why did you smuggle the cigarettes? Was it really to help Cambridge United?"

T**...incredibly....all 3 stories stand alone...yet have a connection spanning nearly 50 years!!

In 1974/5 I was an unhappy 13 year old kid newly arrived in Cambridge from Grimsby. I had lived in my previous house/school for 2 years...longest 'roots' i'd put down and didn't want to leave Grimsby! But...thanx to Snowy (RIP)...who made me happy when I was planning a runner...I stayed! I wanted to be a Doctor or go in the RAF...so joined the Air Cadets in '74. I was also going to football matches with my mates...1st ground I went to was Milton Road...to watch It's A Knockout...Easter '74! The same function that eventually nailed Stuart Hall as the victim was able to prove she...and he...was at that function...she was on the telly with him!! When my new 'brothers' asked if I wanted to go to a match....I thought we were going back there...but ended up at The Abbey!! My experience at Grimsby watching the ground build up from mid day as my mates Mam and Dad ran the T bar under the Pontoon...meant I became happy at this new ground....seeing it all happen around me.....a new 'sanctuary'!


Passing the legacy of Snowy MBE onto my baby gurl!x

Within 9 months the marriage that brought us to Cambridge...ended. My Mam got a job running the last 'legal' Massage Parlour in Cambridge on Mill Road...frequented by prominant...respectable...local business men...Solicitors... Judges/Magistrates...Policemen... school teachers/ headmasters and because I used to get the house keys from me Mam on the way home from school...I heard all the 'chat' as the girls talked in the ciggy room. Folk who all of Cambridge knew as 'decent' people were being discussed....beating girls up as part of sexual satisfaction. I knew who they were. Same sh*t everyday...and i'd had enuff...wanted to just get on.
However...I ended up in front of a Chief Constable as i'd been extra boisterous at the match. I recognised him. Whilst we was waiting for my Mam to arrive as i was under aged...he began 'lecturing' me about this and that. I had no respect for his words...and cut him off with...'but its alright for you to beat the girls up at Mill Rd?" Errr...yeah! He began swearing at me....stood up to intimidate and began threatening me as my Mam arrived....with Tojo...theeee Copper none of us Hooli's wanted to have in our lives haha!x I told Mam what i'd said...she said i shouldn't have said anything...she assured him that was the last of it.
But it weren't. A week later...i'm at Air Cadets staying late...decided to knuckle down...was focusing on the RAF to get away from the sh*te of life i was living in. I began to ride my bike back home...but was stopped by a street Bobby on Mill Rd. He said...'now then chocolate drop....you shouldn't be riding without any lights on the path should you?" I explained myself...apologised...yet he said...."youre getting a ticket for riding a bike with no lights on the pavement'...and added...'and you should watch your mouth when listening to your superiors in future or fu** off back to your own Country!" 6 weeks later I was in Juvenile Court fined for the offence. I then was told by my Squadron Leader that my application to Cranwell for Officer training...was over...due to the conviction. In essence....the violent sex pervert in uniform...and his 'mate' the racist...had ruined my future. Riding a bike with no lights....wasn't a fair cop....I felt. Time for war.



I became 'rowdy' at school...fighting...then began taking it to matches. My 'home' became the Abbey....my 'family' were my 20 mates whom stood...fought side by side...wherever we went. My kinda folk...I felt. It wasn't long before I was planning the 'taking' of other grounds!!! I spent every weekend travelling with the regular 50 that travelled with the U's mid 70's. We had fights wherever we went. It was expected by oppo fans and the Police...it was the culture we all subscribed too. But it had rules. The Police...were 'ultimate'. I fought them around the back of stands... Lincoln... Chesterfield... Peterborough...they'd take their coat off and we'd have it whilst look outs watched. Standard. I was picked out for attention as I lead the singing! I won 2 and got away....hit them whilst their arms were half way up the sleeves as they tried to take their jackets off!!!! Made sense to me!! The 3rd I lost...1 punch to the head...2 kicks to my legs whilst on the floor...and I got my shoes back!x Couldn't run anywhere haha!!x



By the summer of '77...with no hope or future I felt...I had my 'family' at football and through becoming a leader among them ensured I'd been either 'nicked'...or ejected from the Abbey/away games in the 76/77 season 35 times...! An Inspector back then...super guy Ian Negus(EDIT...NOT IAN NEGUS..but Harry Gelsthorpe!!)...called my Mam in and me to have a 'chat'. My Mam knew him as did I. My Mam said...'there's no point in keep arresting him Harry...give him a slap...he relates to that!!" Thanx Mam!!! Stood behind me was Tojo...he began chuckling as it was him dishing the punishment out in any event!!! I promised to be good....Tojo's slaps hurt!!
The following week although i'd been warned not to go up into the rafters by Tojo....I did it!! After the match...I scrambled down the metal posts....lads hid me in a bundle...and I escaped! 2 hours later....whilst buying a bag of chips on East Rd...Tojo pulled up outside of the chip shop..."Now then Michael...!" he said with a huuuge self satisfying grin in adding a couple of cuffs around the head to our portfolio in which my Mam had an interest!!! In panic...fear....I threw my chips at him and ran past!!!! I turned left...then left again....then right and first left...then saw a door....ran into it...stairs...ran up....then Tojo bellowed from the bottom of the stairs......"GET HIMMMMM!!!" I got to the top....looked around...3 black mariahs...Police vans...were emptying of their passengers....20 Policemen....i'd run into the Parkside Police Station car park.....! Yes Tojo dragged me by the leg down every concrete step heading for the cells...screaming at me about tomato sauce all over his uniform....hahaha!!!x I can still see it now dripping off his head as i bumped each step....happy days!x



Needless to say my Mam was making her way to the usual meeting as i was still only 15! However...I asked to speak to Harry Gelsthorpe. I had been sitting in my cell contemplating life....not wanting to cause trouble for Tojo...I liked him. But was upset at 'the Force' for what it had done to me. I told Harry everything. He believed me. I said I wanted 'out' from the lifestyle I had at home...and at the Abbey. He promised to help. With that...my Headmistress at Netherhall...Mrs Barrett...wonderful Lady...Magistrate too...called me in. I told her everything...massage parlour...Police hassle....and that I wanted a fresh start. She believed me. Within a month...I signed a 'voluntary' care order to go into a kids home...and get on with my education and future...whatever it held. She...Harry...Tojo and Ron Atkinson had all helped. Ron spoke up for me as he knew me as the lead singer. I was his 'monkey in the rafters' as we went for promotion...'together'...and I was happy with that!!! Definitely mischievous!! He said i was a good lad and meant well. It was true...and why we are still friends to this day...despite his unfortunate old school fopar...X I call meself 'coloured' when describing myself...yet i've been told i'm racist in using it...wtf?!!!x PCness can be confusing!!x



I arrived eventually at Kneesworth House near Royston in Herts.
Kneesworth House was a 'project' set up by folk from Bletchley Park after the 2nd WW. Originally funded by...Ian Fleming!! In the 50's...the cream of 'troubled' children in kids homes nationwide who had above average intelligence...were placed in Kneesworth House. They were the 1st 'guinea pigs' for the Education Dept to help develop the National curriculum!! By the time I got there in '77 under a voluntary care order aged 15...we were doing '0' levels in....6 weeks! Intensive learning using accelerated techniques...I lapped it up!!! We were still the guinea pigs for the Education Dept. We'd do say a history O level on the first world war....sit the exam...then start again with the American Civil war....and sit the exam. Every 6 weeks another exam! Same for English...Geography...each subject....it would change the emphasis but we would cover it in 6 weeks and take the exam!! The education Dept looked at the results and then perhaps 5 years later that course would be installed Nationally in which all the state schools would do that WW1 History course...over 2 years!! I left with 37 'O' levels/qualifications.....in 18 months!!! Some were A levels and others were called RSA 1 and 2 papers....a term that didn't enter the Education system until 8 years later!! Some lads had been there since aged 11....they had over 100 'O' levels yet had another year to go when I left!!!



Kneesworth has featured in my life ever since...happy times back then...but for some sad reasons over the past 20 years. Whilst I was there...37 of my 'brothers'...had been abused...sexually and or physically.......and i never knew...or heard a thing. 20 years later...I found out. Ultimately it drove me to confront several Local Authority's and Police Forces who were covering up historic abuse to protect individuals within the 'establishment' and high powered positions...including Magistrates judging you and I in Cambridge!! It was pre Saville...and the PCness hadn't come about yet regarding abuse. Us 'whistleblowers' were the scurge of the State...of insurance firms underwriting local authoritys compensation claims...until Jim fixed it and put all those on the back foot....supporting...the victims. Yeah....overnight folk who were protecting abusers....had to show support for the likes of me. It was great. But as that 'respect' wasn't in place at the time I blackmailed Central Govt threatening to expose names of historic 'Political Gods' who partook in said abuse and 'others' to ensure £4 million in compensation for over 400 victims of abuse in care homes throughout Cambs during the 70's/80's got paid. All done through guilt for not being there for my Brothers 20 years earlier. I showed up when it counted. But that...is another book....which they'd never let me print...hehe!x I agreed not too anyway. I already had 'Country' at the fore front of my heart...and that needed serving first...yes at the expense of victims of abuse. As I say...there is always a bigger truth.....sadly. The abusers...are ALL dead......now. My unlicensed limousines story...is connected to this 'battle'. More later.


In 2003 I offered my services free of charge to Andrew Grove and Co as a research investigator. Andrews practice had been on the case for 6 years...back and forth dealing with prevarication from Cambs County Council...Cambs Police and was getting nowhere. I interviewed/spoke with over 200 'victims' all my age...and knew many of them socially...with more than 30 U's fans among them. I was motivated. Within 3 months...I had the 'system' all running for cover as I began 'outing' Magistrates...folk on Police Boards...Heads of Depts at Cambs County Council...naming and shaming them for covering up the abusers and abuse suffered by 100's. 6 months in...I had them on a noose....and opened the trap door with pleasure. Unfortunately...I had suffered collateral.....unlicensed limousines/fines for non compliance of HARRASSMENT!!!x More later!

Whilst my football life had calmed down upon going into care...i'd stopped going...my home life was still eratic and me and Mam were having problems when i had home visits every other weekend from Kneesworth. As a consequence i had a fight in a disco one night with a 'customer' of my Mams...which evolved over several weeks to me and 21 others of my 'hooli' mates going over to Buntingford to 'sort it out'. We arrived to 150+ 'men' up for it according to the Police who were waiting for it to happen hidden down the backstreets of Buntingford!!!...DOH! Eventually we were charged with Unlawful Assembly...offensive weapon and ABH...or similar. I knew I was going to go to Borstal....and only had 1 month to go before leaving Kneesworth! 6 months later I was sent down for those offences along with 21 others from Cambridge...aged 17. I was deemed the 'leader' so got the most severeist punishment out of us all. It was....my saviour. Technically we were all banned from ever visiting Buntingford again...so this pic was done covertly 40 years later!!x



What's it got to do with smuggling fags for Cambridge United???!!! Well....to be believed....you have to know the history...and endeavour...i've had with 'the club'...its people and ground. For me...as a kid from 13-17...I had nowhere else to go. It was my home...it was my 'family'......and i've never forgotten that.......whatever i've got up too.

I will carry on tomorrow with the 'journey' through the prison system where i ended up serving an extra 9 months....BY CHOICE!!!! I had to be kicked out...honest!!x Charlie Richardson...rival to the Kray twins...escaped prison as a result of me being 'chucked out'!!! As i've said...I ain't like the other 'villains'!

Meanwhile...here's some 'statements' that will feature in future posts!

"One other good thing that came out of all this was that I got to meet 7 'old boys' who attended Kneesworth in the 60's mainly....who were all recruited for...Mi5!!! I'd only known of 1 prior to that. Classic init... James...orphan...kids homes...no one caring about him. Standard...ripe for grooming...training...and supporting. Ian Fleming...investing in Kneesworth....was 'living the dream'...and script!"



"Governments don't deal/negotiate with terrorists...is the rhetorical quote. But somebody has to. In the early 90's due to my financial success of the 80's it allowed me to be 'free' as to what I wanted to do...where...and with who. I realised I had developed a super aility to speak with anyone and end up as friends. In the UK...the IRA were killing folk in London. A "friend" asked if I could find a way to find out what they were unhappy with and ways forward. My friend had come into my life whilst I was in my last childrens home...Kneesworth House near Royston. Always smiling and friendly when he came to the home and spoke with all the boys...84 of us...yet none of us really knew what his role was! I assumed he was regional 'management' in the Social Services or Education Dept! No...15 years later I discover he was a recruiter for Mi5!!"

Back with the next 'chapter' tomorrow!

Boris.......you don't know if you have anymore fines coming??? You need better contacts Bruv. As I keep saying...sort out a new leader...as once they are released....there will be....

[sooty]

Sincere apologies for those looking for the next 'chapter'...but priorities arose. I went to London to help friends in Westminster...Greenwich and Wandsworth with support from friends in Kensington and Chelsea! Last minute thing!x I'm considered 'local' by many!! I first visited London in 1977/8 when leaving the chidrens home and getting a job as an asphalte labourer! We had the job to lay the tarmac on the platforms of the then newest underground stations from Whitechapel to Wapping/Surrey Dock and Rotherithe. Working at the heart of the East End through the nights as we could only work then as the underground closes down for 2 hours for 'maintenance'...I saw the mental health problems...drug abuse...poverty. I was 16. I then returned after leaving prison back to asphalte and the roofing side and ended up at aged 18 looking out over Londons famous attractions and buildings...from above....as we were reroofing the Shell Centre...their head quarters near where the London Eye is! It was the tallest building on the South Bank back then 1980....no Canary Wharf....and it enthused as I surveyed the 'majesty' of all the buildings....sadly lost when walking around at street level!



After leaving roofing and putting on a shirt and tie for work I didn't return to London until 1985...to become a fraudulent salesman taught by Jewish folk in the main...operating out of offices in Kilburn...! Within months I had set up my own business and through the late 80's had offices in Kilburn High Road...Tottenham Court Road and eventually having an admin office in the Post Office Tower....1989! Commuting daily from Cambridge! After I quit my Prestel advertising business...I became a 'consultant' to other businesses. One of those in 1991 was as the head of advertising for a 'newspaper' catering to the Market Traders UK wide. It was dished out to stall holders nationwide and wholesalers advertised their 'wares' in it from Manchester to the Midlands and Whitechapel...the Mecca for London wholesalers. I was going into Millionaire business men and women from all over the world...including Alan Sugar...or 'Sugarbabes'as I call him...who took no sh*t to sell them the big adverts in the publication! No room for waffle or wavering. SUPER character building territory I found! Alan's mellowed though 'The Apprentice'....laughable tbh...pure telly!! Not 1 candidate ever on that programme would have survived his industry back in the 70's/80's/90's....! I made friendships with the 'magnates' of the wholesale industry UK wide back then and all are still friends to this day watching the children take over the firms from London to Manchester....and they treat me as family whenever I pop in!
Since then i've been going to London monthly...in various capacity's and whilst I don't know 'the knowledge' as taxi drivers do...I know where I am without a map! I like taking pictures...my mobile phone does me. I've documented every major City's growth around the UK...as a hobby! By night or day! I've seen Wembley go down...and up! Saw every plank on the Olympic velodrome go on and the park go up! Witnessed every major development happen and remember how deep the hole was for the foundations of Canary Wharf! But i can say that for every City UK wide!!x


Battersea Power Station conversion!

For 20 years i've run hundreds of folk down to London via my limousine business. To concerts...shows...night clubs....Camden being a popular stop! As a courier firm again i've been going down there for 20 years. Built friendships with firms all over the City and know every major
tourist attractions gaffas...staff and operation! For 5 years we delivered the Queens invitations to Garden party's! It took us to all kind of people in all walks of life around London!



Another 'network' i've developed in London is thanx to England and Arsenals Bob Wilson!!x Bob and his wife set up a Charity called the Willow Foundation...in memory of their daughter who died of a rare disease at a young age. They fund terminally ill childrens days out! 20 years ago I was asked to look after familys in East Anglia....and i've done it whenever asked.....for free. It means TAKING LONDON OVER!!! I run the familys to The Ritz for FREE lunch...the Doormen all treat them as ROYALTY...and then we raid Hamleys!!! Not 1 member of staff will stop us taking whatever we want. We then jump queues at the Eye...museums or anywhere they want to go...I...sort it...end of. Every 'tourist' attraction has been hit over the past 20 years. I love them all...the staff...Gaffas...and they certainly enjoy our flying visits!x When I visit The Globe during rehearsals...all productions stop....to say hi!! Honest!!x



The last 'major' inolvement I had with the City was with Grenfell. I arrived around 4am in the morning after watching it on the news on fire...sat cosy in Cambridge. I knew I could help....so went. Over the next 7 weeks I gathered aid through my Courier firm UK wide and brought it van by van every day. I helped organise the food as the State was...dithering. A good friend Chas...a Seikh Councillor in Plymouth....answered my call. They rounded up 50 folk and cooked food for 1000's...for the next 40 days. I helped 'organise' the 11 'factions' from within the Tower and surrounding it. They were seperate 'Community groups'. There was disharmony among them all....and considering what the Govt were up to i considered it essential to keep them 'together' as one voice. So helped sort that. A unified group representing all was formed...spokespersons chosen and went forward as one. It won every consession the Grenfell folk seeked. Job done. It also helped avoid London going up in smoke...simple as. Nick Knowles then approched me to see what could be done. (I've helped the program find 7 different projects UK wide over the years!!)



It was 'sensitive' at the time because many folk were creaming it...including the Prime Minister and Amber Rudd...without any deeds being done. As Nick came through me...he was trusted. He said he had 100 workers and £10 million to work with to do whatever the Grenfell folk wanted.I made 3 phone calls to Industry leaders...JCB...Travis Perkins and McAlpine...and matched the £10 million.
Projects are ongoing!x Needless to say when I popped in at the last Anniversary gathering...400+ Grenfell folk came to say hi and give me a cuddle. London....whilst I would never live there....I do enjoy going x Oops....the 'gangsters' of London i've known since helping Charlie Richardson escape from prison when aged 18!!!! From the Blind Beggar to Private Clubs...i've been 'welcome'...!x I also know every 'dealer' operating around Soho corners serving the rich and famous!
Those relationships began when DJing at the all nighters at the 100 Club and Ministry of Sound back in the 90's!! Part of my media businesses interest is in making....documentaries! They all talk to me!!x I'll tell that story as part of my next 'chapter'!x London........another 'home from home'...wherever that is!! Back soon with the next chapter!!x

Boris's lot. Read the above. Some of you researchers weren't born when I was dealing with the people of London....serving...protecting...promoting them. Listen up and listen clear. 70 Grenfell folk turned out to help at Wandsworth. Others went to Barnet...before uniting and helping out in Westminster. 1000's spoken too...activists at work. I've heard all...this is the message. London...don't want Boris. The Country...have had enough. DO NOT use this next period until the fines are released to prevaricate further. Sort a leader out. Sinn Fein will not deal with Boris....end of. Liars...phillibusterers....they've had them all before. Friends from Larne...to West Cork and Wexford...tell me they don't want him. I am there next week. I hope to tell Irish friends he won't be there. It's getting serious. Deal with yourselves...and quick. It is 'personal'. My 'roots' are now down there. The paddle steamer 'Tattershall Castle' moored on the Victoria Embankment. It was one of 3 ferries that ran between Hull and New holland to get to Grimsby....before the Humber Bridge. In the 60's we used to use them going back and forth visiting family. Happy days. Its become a succesful restaraunt during the day and comedy club on an evening and I drop any folk I take to London there to see and experience it. Its my heritage...entrusted to you lot. There...my personal interest. My Siss cares about it too. You all passionate about Britain and all it entails??? You're clueless and can't see beyond your blue ribbons. I looked out on the wonders of this Country from those little port holes....aged 5/6/7. I look out through them now over a cuppa and remember seeing the poverty/drug and alcohol/homeless problems when I worked the Shell building...40 years ago. I drive through every borough of London today....and see the same. Clean your sh*t up...starting with Boris...before you consider speaking to folk in other lands. Go give the message.

P.S...just watched your interview Boris responding to the elections. Piffle. You offered an internal flag waving appeal to your own and hid behind rhetorical replies to the Nations needs and wants. Tightrope walking. I visit the Ace cafe in London regularly for all kinds of functions. They have a message for you.

[sooty]

Pathetic! Whoever sent me the link for the Starmer video at Durham....especially the S*N link...DIPSTICK. I don't do The S*n...and I DON'T CARE! FOCUS...Starmer will never be in power....thats it....he's irrelevant. Why bother worrying about what he's done? Boris is in power...but shouldn't be. There's been more comment from a united Cabinet over Starmer than it has said about anything else. Kids sh*te. GROW UP. Boris IS...not may be or could be...he IS..the Prime Minister...of GREAT Britain. He's fu**ed our greatness up with bullsh*t. Next.
Honestly....you research folk need to get out more. You may as well sent this link...at least its funny. In fact...Starmer could put his name in the history books. If he quits on principles that he's put forward to Boris...then he'd take Boris down too. That's his chance for eternal glory. But he won't go for it. Career Politicians...sad lot.

...forgive them Michael (Gaffa of Durham Cathedral!) for they know not wot they do in Durham...at least there'll be a few more visitors for the Cathedral.....lots of pennance to be done amongst the Political party's and press! Forgive me too Michael...its the level of it...honestly...sigh...X

Morning...X I said at the outset of Partygate on my FB that we will have to become a 'Police State' for it all to be resolved as 'the system'...Political structures...can't fix it. I have an apology to make. You researchers from Diane Abbotts office....and I know your reading as its the same ip adress hitting my website updates as before....you should scramble them if you don't want 'auditing'...hehe!! Tell Keir Starmer I apologise...sincerely X I underestimated his intelligence...or perhaps his ability to accept his own truth. He wouldn't be remembered as a Prime Minister...my survey UK wide sez...but it is his chance for eternal glory for sure. Whichever it is...or whatever it was for his decision to resign if charged...RESPECT is due...THANK YOU X So Durham Police...where I have many friends...remove Boris by default...the Conservatives have already given you the 'mandate'...they insisted you investigate Starmer! Perhaps they had more faith in SIR Keir doing the deed than their own.....permission given.......JUST DO IT X
Going to Ireland tomorrow. Be quick...taa X I will add a 'chapter' for those waiting whilst heading for Ireland...it all ties in nicely tbf!!x

SUSSED...again......X



For you reading...no...I ain't 'ill' or in psychosys or owt....i've been 'speaking' as direct to Central Govt via this internet platform...for 21 years...this year!!!

I have one more question, pips? You said in a post that the Policeman who 'took you down' removed his pips! Can you elaborate?

In 1989 at 28...I was driving around in 1 of only 3 Lamborghini Countach's in the UK based in Manchester with my mate who had just secured the deal to import 'Alpine' radios into the UK...and they used the Lambo as their feature car in ads...so they gave him one!!! I had the first Mercedes 190e arriving in Cambridge at £60 a day from my now 40 year friend at a car rental in Cambridge! Hired cars for 5 years daily from 1985-90!!! Never owned a car or a house....they could be taken at any time!! It was the 'yuppy' years and we were yupping it alright. I learned how to get a first time buyer's house from Maggie Thatcher. You paid £250 for a newly built house on Eccles New Road worth £26,150.00. You paid the mortgage interest free for 25 years. So we bought 32 of them. Yes...32. I had met 'high riders' in London...but blimey....the Manchester lot were creaming EVERYTHING. At 28 I learned a Solicitor would lie and sign mortgage documents...£250. A Doctor would lie and say you'd been on his books for 10 years...£250. The TSB back then...their 'Manager' came out to me and my business partner with all 32 mortgage applications...for first time buyers. He got £3,000...possibly £10k today...and all 32 mortgages were approved the same day. We got the keys to the houses on a Monday morning. We gave all 32 keys to 1 Estate Agent who knew the craic. In the morning they were worth £26,150.00....4 hours later they all went on the market for £36,750.00. All 32 sold in 3 weeks...never paid 1 mortgage payment...just paid the mortgages off. No...sorry....we went to pay all 32 off but the bank Manager said he had an allowance to 'write off' 'default' on 3 houses out of the 32...so we gave him another £5k....and never paid a penny........and never heard a word about those 3 defaults to this day...! I knew some 'families' in Manchester had bought over 100 first time buyer mortgage houses. We...were small fry tbf.


The first Mercedes 190e arriving in Cambridge! £60 a day...Parked in a Council estate...changed every 3 months for the newest car...and nobody touched them in 5 years!! The 'people'...loved me...and I shared my success with them all in ways and means....proud of that!!x

So...I was becoming wise...in ways I hadn't expected! I wanted to turn away from fraudulent businesses...this was me going 'legit'....buying a hotel with my business partner...in Manchester...turning it into the NO 1 Wine Bar venue for the Rich and Famous. ALL the players were on board from Man U...car park was always full of top cars taking previews of the building of it all....we woz it BABY....and spent £5k a night in the illegal Chinese gambling dens is where it was at for chillout....sigh. Fortunately...I had 2 babies back home in Cambridge and kept coming back....to 'normality'!! I was living a double life. Out with the big boys...yet wanting to get on with my family 'proper'. The hotel turned into also buying 32 houses...and other stuff.....whirlwind....money everywhere! BUT...EVERYTHING that those houses earned us...roughly £350,000 plus £500k of my fraudulent advertising business money....had gone into building this hotel...and we had closed our 'income' streams down and were working on getting the hotel open. But we had a cash flow problem....2 weeks before opening...November 5th 1989!



Now...throughout this time...a well known brewery in Manchester had been whoring us for ages wanting an inroad to our bar....worth ££££!! We were keeping it all for ourselves. But...we needed £80k to pay the builders to finish who were sitting waiting for it in their cars at the hotel!! So I phoned G***** who was then a gaffa of the brewery. I offered 1 pump for 2 years....for £80k...TODAY. He countered with 'how about £100k for 3 years...I have a pen in my hand?'!!!
I SHOT down there in the Lambo!!! Lovely young Lady as usual at the desk but told me G***** had popped out but he'd left a bankers draft for me....can you sign here!! Sign I did...and went and paid the builders!!
Manic 2 weeks...but opening night...Manchester Evening News coming...everything looking fantastic...8 man U players coming...Ron Atkinson who'd just left Man U but was always in Manchester was coming...all the high and mighty of Manchester...were coming. The opening ceremony was due to be 7pm...at 2pm me and my partner were standing on the stairs of the entrance...2 cars pull up...4 suits step out...walk up the steps......announce they were Police...and we was under arrest for suspected fraud!!!!!


This pic was 25 years later....I wasn't shocked at being arrested....but I was genuinely innocent haha....they got the wrong guy...I got him in the end for them so all is fine!!x Good job the Youtube 'Audits' weren't about....jeeeez hehehe!!!x I did get my mate and photographer from the CEN to be on his toes 2 days earlier tho'...!x I digress!

We arrived in 2 separate cars and were put in individual cells...isolated. 30 minutes later...I'm taken to an interview room. 5 minutes later...a guy with 3 pips on each shoulder of his shirt walked in....threw a folder on the desk...and began taking his pips off...one by one...and started speaking...' You're the Southern sh*t that thinks he can come on my patch and give it large then?' I professed my innocence of course but he said shut up and listen. '******** ******** (Brewery)...want their money back...TODAY. You signed an agreement that gave them recall on their loan at any time. You have 2 options. Sell them the Hotel for £1/2 million(Worth possibly £1.6)...and fu** off back from whence you came and be thankful I don't open this folder'. The 2nd option is I open this folder and you lose the hotel...and your freedom.


Graham Eales and I sorted inclusion in this for Cambridge United!!


I was now 28....seen a bit...but hey...I hadn't a clue what was in that folder...but yes I'd frauded for 5 years but loads were at it...No Biggie! The houses fraud?? EVERYBODY was at that...and we knew Police at it too! But I knew it was game over...and I wanted it to be. So I said I needed to speak to my partner....he then countered with no you don't as he's got the same options. You are both sensible enough to come to the same answer separately. So I signed the agreement to sell it...on opening day...! I didn't read the bit of paper when collecting the £100k...I thought it was just to say I had the money!! Didn't bother reading the new one.....I just wanted to go home! 4 months later we found out that 'Pip Man'...had been on the golf course with the brewery guy when I picked the £100k up!!! I understand his wife was rewarded with £50k for her 'services' as a Consultant to the brewery...! They took off us in 1 swoop nearly everything we'd frauded...worked for...for 5 years...in 1 day's work. I figured then...there is always someone 'bigger' and that there is hard work...and smart work! I've focused on the latter since aged 28!x That was that...I never went back to Manchester business wise from 1990...until DJing 3 years later....through the night when everybody was sleeping!!!haha!x


...and visited 'incognito' for the odd football match V Man U!!!

I returned to Cambridge...to 2 babies...and a wife that should have married a postman like her Dad...pork chop...mushy peas and mashed tatty on the plate every Saturday.....used to amaze me....sigh. I eventually got her to agree to emigrate to the USA. I had enough money to start afresh...and we had friends over there so wanted to go. I then declared myself to the Inland revenue as I hadn't paid taxes ever since leaving roofing as a kid after prison!!! They made me bankrupt in the paper in London somewhere?!!...for £1.2 million and I didn't bother paying the VAT for the last 9 months of trading as we were just gonna go bust with it all....everyone did it in the 80's!! So all told I'd been clobbered with £2 mill in owed taxes....glad to be going to the USA...bye!!!!


Are we inherently corrupt or do we become that way?!x Lexy takes my money whatever!!!


We got packed for the USA...sold everything...went down to see the Official Receiver on East Road...Feb 1990...she had a f*g hanging in her mouth as she spoke to me! Right...you've got a Post Office account with £15 in it from 1978...any other accounts??? Nope. In a Council flat?? Yep. Not working due to bankruptcy of your business...? yep. Right...you need to sign on...if you move let us know...if you get a job we will take anything you earn over £300 a week...(I'd been earning £20k a week on average for 4 years!!)...any questions?? Nope. I walked out...gobsmacked...no Policeman...no VAT paid...No Taxes for 10 years...no house lost...or car she said cos I need it for work...! It was an Aston Martin parked around the corner!! MADNESS....got away with it Scott free! Never paid a penny and that was it after 3 years of 'bankruptcy'!! I felt I deserved that after being pipped in Manchester!!! So we went to go to the USA........and as we got to the gate at Heathrow...."WAAAAAHHHH"....I don't wanna go sez the Mrs pushing a double buggy!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH...sez I internally....put my arm around her....began walking back to the car park.....wondering WTF AM I GONNA DO NOW?!!!



Within 6 months I'd paid £2000 to get a brand new 'Housing Society' house! Yes EVERYBODY was 'at it'.Picked the plot as it was being built...biggest garden on the estate!! I put the wife in there happy...I also carried on looking after my local friendly Policeman helping a couple out with gambling debts and alcoholism! It's what cemented mine and Sgt T's friendship back then. He knew I was a 'good un'!!x I'm having a cuppa in London at a cafe. A familiar voice rings out...'Well we're at that juncture again Michael!!'...I looked around and there was Mr T.....who last said that to me 10 years earlier...whilst I was in Borstal!!!!!! I will tell that story in the next 'chapter'!!x
The day I met Charlie Richardson in London after i'd helped him escape....all inadvertently...coming next!!!



There you go Sgt T**.......they took their pips off to take me down...bigger fraudsters than i'll ever be!!! Hope you like the story!!x I frequent Manchester monthly these days and have done since 93 but in totally lovely roles doing Charity gigs or DJing Couriering or Chauffeuring over the years and still am welcome among 'old school' yuppies....you had to be there to realise how corrupt everybody was. Folk still are I figure...just more PC with it these days...X Understand when I walk the corridors of Westminster.....I can look EVERY MP...in the eye...time served. Architects....yeah architects were among the most ruthless.....coming up with money scams for all kinds of things they could get from Govt local and central.....rolling in it they were!!! I've known villains in suits...and villains in trainers........as well as villains in uniforms. I can get on with all. Good job too!x Needless to say this whole experience has served me well....for the past 30 years!!!x Off to Ireland...eventually...back next week but will add some bits whilst on me travels!x Have a good week all!x

Top of the morning to you all!x



Liz Truss...listen up and listen carefully. I've just returned from Ireland taking in visits to 27 year long friends in Dublin the day Sinn Fein walked into Stormont as the largest party in Northern Ireland. Then on to visit friends in 5 other Counties...Laois...Kildare...Tipperary...Limerick...Kerry and Claire...taking in 17 Towns. Many of them farmers...turnip type. The message is this...Ireland WILL be reunited. The 400 year old 'management' of the North and South...is over. They consider you...and Boris...as LIARS. You will never be trusted to deal with the new way forward. Time for change. Change for the North and South and a change in the UK Parliament. Nothing less will help this developing 'opportunity' for a happier future. We have told them since the '70s...go through the ballot box...not guns. Job done. Respect it and find new folk to work with them all. The DUP are a spent force and the majority of Northern Ireland's folk have spoken. They are no good to you Boris now...Theresa May got the best out of them but it is finished and an unnecessary 'alliance' for the Conservatives in Westminster. Therefore there is no need to protect your interests in that place using them anymore but look at the Irish folks interests...North and South...I thoroughly recommend it.

Declan here has 1000's of acres. He has cows...and turnip fields. He cannot read or write proper. He couldn't 27 years ago when I first met him. However...he ain't stupid. He knows of your comments Liz as do all the farmers. Considering your bullsh*t over the Brexit deal and messing with the protocol in place I suggest you take your lying and uneducated comments....elsewhere...the Irish....have you sussed...t b'sure.



126 fines issued to 80 folk in Westminster. As I say...the place needs 'cleansing'. The only turnips are you lot. Liz...you're waffling about a new order in Westminster due to sexual perverts. Remove yourself..........sorted.

The turnips turnip.
