He was living at the time in Number 10. And so even if he wasn’t at this particular party, it begs the question, how did he not know about any of this going on? ibid.
A parliamentary committee delivered a damning verdict of his account. ibid.
Along with affairs, Johnson’s career was marked by a string of gaffes and scandals. ibid.
This is a very serious pandemic and yet what we’re seeing from his face is amusement and a smile. ibid.

December 2022 and Romanian police mount an armed raid on the outskirts of the capital Bucharest. At a converted warehouse they seize luxury goods worth more than £3m, cash in multiple currencies, swords and guns. One of those arrested that night – online influencer and self-proclaimed billionaire, Andrew Tate. Faking It Special: Andrew Tate, DiscoveryPlus 2024
Trafficking and exploitation of women seems to be a real hotspot for him and he has to think hard to construct a denial to those two. ibid. Cliff
When Tate’s mother left the match, she returned to England with her children. As an 11 year old in Luton, Tate stood out as a bi-racial boy with an American accent. ibid.
He fully believes he’s right behind the teachings he is espousing. ibid. Cliff
This is almost like a god complex. ibid. Cliff

That’s only one frame but it’s a confession. The truth is, you did kill her. ibid. Cliff
In 1996 Lin Russell and her 6-year-old daughter Megan were murdered … Michael Stone was convicted but he says he’s innocent … Levi Bellfield issued a statement. But Bellfield’s detailed confession raises many questions. ibid.
Bellfield is just playing games, he really is. ibid. Kerry
Levi Bellfield has been lying about his crimes for more than 20 years. ibid.

Philpott’s reputation around Derby had made him a tabloid villain. Multiple partners, many children. Making £50,000 a year in state benefits but no job. ibid.
