To ask who is the biggest grifter you've seen?

I remember Anthea Turner punting flakes at her wedding. Carol Vorderman was always quick to front a financial product. Just seen Carole Malone on my timeline oiling on about weight loss jabs.

Any others spring to mind?

It's Trump by a country mile. A disgusting person. He leaves all other grifters in the dust with his crypto coins, gold watches, gold sneakers etc. He has already damaged the US irreparably.

I have revised my choice to Elon Musk, pillaging the usa in exchange for his contracts worth 1 billion dollars within the last month of trumps dictatorship. All the while raiding medicaid medicare social security, etc etc etc....A super grift if you like.

Obviously Megan is up there, but for years it was, still is Amanda Holden, apart from shagging Les Dennis, where did she come from. On a similar vein, Cheryl Tweedy, and Victoria Beckham.

Amanda Holden is a very good actress and singer.

Where did Cheryl Tweedy and Victoria Beckham come from?! Only two of the world’s Biggest girls bands. Did you not know this?

Capt. Tom’s daughter takes some beating.

Boris Johnson manages to make very little intelligence go a very long way through sheer grift and bluster.

Meghan Markle, obvs.

But the ultimate has to be Trump, surely?

Trump, by a mile. Even more o, know he's doing his damndest to wreck world peace. Talentless orange wazzock.

@Kiwi83 She has been divorced twice - look up her marriage annulment from Joseph Giuliano.

Oh dear.

These are false allegations and conspiracy theories built without any proof.
No documents, pictures or any other sources confirm that Meghan Markle ever got married to a man called Joe Giuliano.

Probably Meghan Markle, considering how much she seemingly conned the RF and public. Honestly, a £32 million wedding for a twice divorced actress! Personally I didn't have a good feeling about her from the start, and have since been validated.

Twice divorced?

JHound · 25/02/2025 12:21

Nigel Farage
Klandace Owens
Musk’s latest baby mother.

Initially at the start of the pandemic I gave Boris the benefit of the doubt. However when he made everything about survival of the fitter led to ableism and vilification of disabled people
I had numerous people on Facebook tell me I was a scrounger and should die and healthy and productive ive!!

I am an intelligent women, with a professional degree, who worked in a role ,for 25 years ( working or training prior to this, Think I signed on for 2 weeks in my late teens/early 20). When these comments were made I was sheilding but work from home.1 lost my my mum.durig Covid-19 a nd didn't go to her funeral.

BORIS is not Intelligent he is schrwed, manipulative and self-centred. He lied continually about his breaches of the codes and those of his ministers. He is an entitled male who because of his privileged background believes he can do no wrong

Umidontknow · 24/02/2025 20:47

Harry and meghan are both unbearable

KmcK87 · 24/02/2025 19:09

Just seen munroe bergdorf mentioned, she was a mutual with an account on Instagram that was literally just “pay reparations to black folk, pay up” like literally telling people in comments to send money to them

KmcK87 · 24/02/2025 19:05

Jack Monroe for sure is up there

Figgygal · 24/02/2025 18:37

Farage
Captain Tom's daughter
Harry and Meghan

NewMrsF · 24/02/2025 18:36

Ashley James.
uses her kids to sell everything. Pretends to be a feminist & pretends to be a lefty but advertises Coke, Nestle et al.
oh and pretends to hate having big boobs (she had average sized tits) but gets them out at every monetary opportunity

CuppaAndABiccie · 24/02/2025 08:51

Candace Owens and Russell Brand.

Both completely devoid of principles, and will continue to flimflam and say and do anything which keeps the right-wing grift machine rewarding them 💰💰💰💰💰

AstonsGerbil · 23/02/2025 21:04

Dylan Mulvaney.

The Nike advert pushed me over the edge. Grifting and offensive.

LoudSnoringDog · 23/02/2025 21:02

That LadBaby couple

Peter Andre - talentless one hit wonder who used Katie price to make a name for himself and has been riding on the coat tails since.
Fake mr nice guy.

His past teachers will disagree with you, as would I.

Show quote history

Boris Johnson's school teachers must have been a bit surprised when he won a King's (academic) Scholarship to Eton then another scholarship to Oxford.

Ok, I'll bite. What's the AIBU?
Oh yes, I see, it's yet another 5 minutes hate thread.
Wasn't there another one only last week?
Why don't you all get a life?

Weird...

I think Boris Johnson is good at duping people. Spout a bit of Latin, rub his hair with a balloon, crack a joke or two and bob's yer uncle.

I read a Twitter post that said he looks like he uses a toffee apple for a hairbrush.

That description has lived with me!
