And bingo, he's deleted the comments that made him look bad, but not before a bunch of his equally mindless mates piled into the woman who dared suggest travelling during a pandemic was perhaps not the most sensible thing to do with vile ad hominem insults...

@acatcalledjohn - don't many insurance policies have exclusion causes if the insured injured themselves while under the influence of alcohol or drugs?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 01/10/2020 10:43

Perhaps he hasn't injured himself but his drunken antics have got him banned from the all inclusive bar and he's got the begging bowl out to sub his booze expenses for the rest of the trip...

Either way, if his life savings amount to £100, it doesn't say much for the amazing ground floor opportunity he's supposed to be smashing. Wasn't he looking around for cash-in-hand jobs that paid 'real money' just prior to leaving?

acatcalledjohn · 01/10/2020 10:52

Normally they would, yes. In the same way that your car insurance won't cover you if you are in an accident when driving with tyres considered not roadworthy (if spotted, of course). Equally, some insurance providers (car, pet, whatever) will pay the service provider directly, whereas others expect the policy holder to foot the bill and then reimburse them afterwards.

Insurance providers make it hard to claim for a reason. This is why you read the terms and conditions for things that matter.

Unless you are Broke, of course. Because why bother when you can scrounge off of people?

Disappointing posts from 2 'celebs' today promoting MLMs..the first is Miss Geordie Shore Inteletravel and the 2nd is Katie Price who has now teamed up with Herbalife 😡😩

And being 'celebs' they will do well at it because they have a ready made following but probably won't have the insight or willingness to admit that to their followers (who will be the ones to lose money). Depressing.

ticktock19 · 01/10/2020 12:53

@terrywynne exactly...people were already desperate to sign up because of who their upline would be

I can imagine. The allure of getting a connection with your idol...

Yawns already scamming from breast cancer awareness month. She'll donate a quid for every 6 quid shit deodorant she sells.

Will she mention her case credits?? Hmmmm I wonder. 😎

BSintolerant · 01/10/2020 13:12

A bankrupt ‘celebrity’ has reinvented herself as a Herbalife bot. Sign me up hun.

Botbrigade · 01/10/2020 14:52

Just when you think Broke can’t sink any lower. He really is bargain basement.

SSDGM · 01/10/2020 15:24

I had to make a travel insurance claim this year for the first time ever. It was super easy. I went to the Dr, paid the small excess and then they took my details and made the rest of the claim. I never heard another thing. Turkey is a very modern country with excellent private healthcare. Im doubtful he has insurance at all.

9dartfinish2nd · 01/10/2020 16:20

A string of negative comments have already been deleted from Katie Price's Instagram account.

Just when you think Herbalife can't sink any lower in the pursuit of new victims they somehow manage it.

Perhaps Katie can explain how such a wonderful opportunity has an alleged churn of two million people a year.

ticktock19 · 01/10/2020 17:07

What do we reckon the chances of Broke isolating for 2 weeks are 😏

 Coronavirus: Turkey and Poland added to England's quarantine list news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-turkey-and-poland-added-to-englands-quarantine-list-12086820

SSDGM · 01/10/2020 17:17

Absolutely no chance. Turkey has 1/4 of the cases per 100k population compared to us so this is confusing.

ticktock19 · 01/10/2020 17:29

I'm listening to Simon Calder on LBC now and he's saying exactly the same as you @SSDGM

acatcalledjohn · 01/10/2020 17:35

But strict restrictions/local lockdowns are in place for Liverpool now.

Not that he'd follow those.

Botbrigade · 01/10/2020 17:36
  1. no way Broke had travel insurance.
  2. no way he will quarantine.
  3. he is a dick and if I could report him, I would.
ticktock19 · 01/10/2020 18:17

@acatcalledjohn of course...forgot about that as well, he's hit with a double whammy then

Youarebeingwatched · 01/10/2020 19:14

Well, it’s not as if Broke needs to go out to work!

fitgirl26 · 02/10/2020 08:51

Sleaze "Guys the Zuk is gonna ban me personally, I'm such a truthteller, he's trying to silence me, my account is going, love you all tonnes, join me on all these other platforms as my account will definitely be gone by tomorrow...."
Next day
Sleaze "Oh......"

Also disgusted that Wig is comparing the current situation to the Holocaust when a big part of the conspiracy theory they've swallowed is that Soros is behind the "New World Order". Sleaze has posted some pretty anti Semitic stuff in the past.

Oh and waiting to see how they spin their hero in America catching the non existent virus.

Getthekettleon2020 · 02/10/2020 11:27

Yawns latest-she states the lady joined her a month ago.
Post on 23/09 states she joined at beginning of pandemic.
I think you need to see a DR or apologise to your team.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 02/10/2020 11:38

Yawn can't remember her own lies, that's her biggest downfall.

She's also posted something on her group page about 'giving back' to the vulnerable in society, with a photo of Mr Yawn next to a very old lady. All very admirable except that lady is his late mum.

funkylittleboatrace · 02/10/2020 12:07

I don't think broke is even on holiday...

funkylittleboatrace · 02/10/2020 14:34

Retract that he actually is I'm shocked
