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

[2025ohdear]

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?

Brooklyn Beckham
Meghan Markle
Prince Harry
Callum Best - showing my age there

And Captain Tom and his unbearable daughter.

Prince Andrew living in his mansion, driving luxury cars and riding his thoroughbred horses. Oh and don’t even get me started on Harry and Meghan.

Hard agree. I once paid £18 for 5 pieces of ravioli at one of his restaurants

And bland in taste

Sorry but you're wrong. Mo Farah worked extraordinarily hard all his life to get where he has, that's the whole point. You wouldn't know who he was otherwise.

Captain Tom's daughter on the other hand.....

Surely you can see the difference between the two even if he annoys you for advertising cat food? Athletes careers are notoriously short so they need to go on and earn money in other ways.

Those adverts damn near make my toes snap off in sheer embarrassment.

I didn’t get it either. Every half wit who poses for Hello magazine for their wedding is doing exactly the same thing

Also those Snow Flake bars were extremely tasty and should never have been discounted

A few of us cast doubt on MN at the time and were called every name under the sun. I have no idea why people infantilise old people especially old men

Too many for words. Donald Trump. Nigel Farage. Boris Johnson. Andrew tate. Russell Brand. That anti-vaxxer guy - Wakefield.

They are all working various forms of scam, based on sone kind of 'attack is the best form of defence' denial of crimes.

Captain Tom's "duet" with Michael.Ball was absolute toot. He's basically just talking rather than singing.
Just promote the charity, there's no need to add extra gimmicks- although maybe it was Michael Balls awful idea....?

Yes exactly. Taking up sponsorship is not grifting! And I admire people more who are sponsors of affordable goods than billionaires who tout £300 t shirts

I hadn’t heard of this, and just searched for it on my music app. I lasted 5 seconds before my ears were begging me to turn it off

"Just us hardys" on tik tok pair of them scamming ppl for money dragging their sick daughter out for gifts and money when he doesn't even have custody of her anymore she is now living with her mum and grandmother who don't put her on any social media because she can't consent. Darren hardy and his missus who is not the biological mum begging on tik tok lives when they've used the people's money for diamond rings loads of expensive abroad holidays none of it has gone on that poor little girl the pair of them make me sick especially as my daughter has the same condition and I wouldn't dream of exploiting her like that.

Does he think no one else knows that Christian’s especially those in formal church positions, also rape and abuse?

She means Mike , Zaras husband I assume with the reference to his podcast. Again someone not understanding what a grifter is. Trading on royal connections perhaps, and he is mentioning his mum in law surely, not his fault she is Princess Anne!

Is the Jessica Taylor mentioned the one with the PhD who bangs on about trauma etc??

My two pence worth is Taylor Winterstein and her 'retreats' / MLM shampoo

Yes, he seems like a decent sort. As you say, not a "grifter".

How is him advertising stuff a con? that's a grifter. You can say I don't like that he sells anything and everything but the brands wouldn't hire him if it didn't sell the stuff. Being paid to do a job that exists is not a grift.

Homework for all on this thread, watch Hustle, sure it must be on BBC iPlayer.

So what she's got a new insta page. No idea why that's a problem

He's hardly a 'decent sort'!

Well. Opinions vary.

Not if you die without a Will in any of the Duchies

That mate of Johnson who accepted a contract for £2m to source PPE for covid. He didn't even supply it. His newly formed 'company' based at his 3 bed terrace simply googled Chinese PPE manufacturers and passed the contact info on, even though their product was entirely unsuitable.

Never paid it back either once exposed.

They're all absolute and total amateurs compared to the Royals.
