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?

Yes, I thought that was a weird thing to say! Inverted snobbery or ignorance.

Was he the one who murdered a fox while wearing a kimono?

Trump and musk fleecing the USA. The shocking thing is that they've actually been invited in and encouraged to do it by their voters! 😂

He isn't highly intelligent, but he did benefit from a good education, so he seems more intelligent than he actually is........

The entire Royal Family (special mention to the Woking One)
Captain Tom's terrible daughter
Jack Monroe
Jessica Taylor
Charlotte Proudman (perhaps more of an attention seeker than an outright grifter)
Tom Parker's widow

Someone I know in real life. Now embracing #vanlife so perhaps that grift isn't going quite so well.

Jack Monroe with her numerous money making scams and her many lies. She has never been poor and knows nothing about being poor.

This. I was coming on here to say exactly the same. All that lecturing people and claiming to be "philanthropists" and "humanitarians" while making money slagging off his family The only reason they're famous is because of his family !

That's not being a grifter though? She's just not to your taste.

Harry (now) and Megan yes, the rest of them do a lot of work and bring the country more money than they cost .

The royal Family for me. Accountable to no one. Ok, Andrew got shamed but still living in splendour with his ex. After that anyone on eg Love Island who is suddenly catapulted into the limelight and is busy influencing. Farage obviously and Johnson who seemingly loves rich people and their lifestyles and ignores any warnings about them. Lebdev being the obvious one.

She is absolutely awful. I bought her book on tidying. It was the biggest load of waffle ever. I didnt pay much for it though.

Karen Matthews for sure, she faked her own daughter's kidnapping, had her hidden away with some low life, for the MONEY she hoped she could get from it.

Despicable.

I don't think she's a grifter. She's put time and effort in to everything. She didn't start off privileged. I think she's quite funny, genuine and charming.

How do they bring in this money and where can I see the balance sheet?

Agree with both of these and there's a domestic abuse charity in Cheshire currently giving them a run for their money allegedly.

Nigel Farage, no question.

He is always selling some shite.
Dodgy investment schemes, gold, bitcoins etc.

Incredible grifter.

The royal family, every single one of them a parasite, past present and future

Really!
A swift kick in the nuts would be better for them both.

All psychic readers
Nigel Farage
Boris Johnson
Andrew Windsor
Zara and Mark Philips.

The Royal Family, all of them.
Farage.
I'm not sure about some of these "reality stars", they do at least have to show up to things to be paid but if people weren't interested they they wouldn't be getting paid?

Can’t believe no one’s said that ‘hero plumber’ DEEFER CIC yet.

Definitely agree re Tony H’s parents, JoMo the bekimonoed fox killer, Jack Monroe, and that horror Hannah Ingram Moore.

The Royal Family
Michelle Mone
Hannah Ingram Moore

A woman who has set up an organisation to enrol clever career women (who are obviously vulnerable in some way) with a load of twaddle, like they are there to evolve the human race and they have a higher purpose in life. it's a cult. So bad they give their money to her scam and some have even changed their Wills in favour of the organisation. Can't say who in case I'm sued. But it's bad, very bad.

Duchess of Sussex.

'Dr' John Campell, that online grifter who has spread so much misinformation and cashed in on it!!!

Yup, fascinating character.

Apricot plops to all Jolyon watchers out there
