He’s an absolute disgrace

Sforsh49 · 07/10/2020 22:37

Broke is asking for a private landlord as he needs to get out of his B&B. Now he was at his ex's yesterday for his sons birthday, so clearly doing quarantine between two houses, the phone repair shop and whoever else he decides he needs to speak to......

Also, didn't he have a flat sorted a few weeks back?

Seems some of my initial suspicions about certain Anti-MLM Youtubers may be now be a reality.

Two of them appear to have back tracked on their opinions of the industry,

I feared that some of them were using the ever increasing Anti-MLM sentiment as an opportunity to grow an audience and earn money off the back off this and now it seems to be looking more and more likely.

YouokHun · 08/10/2020 10:30

@9dartfinish2nd exactly my thoughts. I’m just watching the YouTube in question and it’s entirely self indulgent. To my mind she dropped the cult of MLM for the cult of anti MLM, needing the same amount of personal validation from both. Apparently anti MLM “pays well”. Who knew? I must be doing it wrong! If anti MLM is “toxic” then it’s entirely a reflection on her approach. She now has some sort of on line boutique and says she wants to be a boss babe of her non MLM business. Perhaps she intends to turn it into anMLM and so is preparing the ground. If not it seems she is confused about things.

To be honest I find some of the look at me posturing on any “ishoo” very tiresome. I think I’m too old and was formed in an era before social media so take it with a pinch of salt. She seems malleable and a coupe of hours alone with her I reckon you could get her to believe anything.

I haven’t listened to the other longer YouTube from the other proMLM/antiMLM/whatsinitforme? person.

Any clues on who this is?

I find Ms Sponlie to be an excellent critiuqe of MLM's. She breaks down the numbers in a non 'look at me' way.

fromdownwest · 08/10/2020 10:39

Found her - She has lost 1,100 subscribers in the last week. Maybe she will change her tune when she sees her subscribers fall off a cliff.

I stopped watching her videos a while ago, found them quite annoying.

Norma27 · 08/10/2020 12:46

For some reason I have never watched much of those 2 youtubers. Will be interesting to see what they do next.
I love Kiki Chanel and Charlotte Dickerson. Would be devastated if they turned!

RogueApostrophe · 08/10/2020 14:10

Is it an American lady who often does her makeup or has very heavy makeup on? And sometimes does a weird baby voice at the start of the video?

YouokHun · 08/10/2020 14:41

@RogueApostrophe she’s American. Just to avoid naming names; same first name as the actress Blunt, second name same as the late Emmerdale actress Bracknell.

ticktock19 · 08/10/2020 14:42

If you find this post on this public anti-mlm page then in the comments they discuss the other person who has gone rogue too

RogueApostrophe · 08/10/2020 14:46

@youokhun OK thanks, that wasn't who I was thinking of... Not sure I've heard of her!

ticktock19 · 08/10/2020 14:49

Eurgh one of Sleazes dickhead mates has just posted a video of him and Sleaze being complete t**ts to a member of staff in a bar in Manchester 😡

Norma27 · 08/10/2020 15:10

Sleaze and his mate must feel so good treating young, lowly paid workers like shit.
What absolute tossers.

ticktock19 · 08/10/2020 15:28

They're just utter wankers aren't they, I know the vid isn't MLM related but it just incensed me. He's meant to be doing this 'for the people' and helping to save their jobs and yet thinks it's ok to speak to people who are trying to do their jobs like that

CatherineCookson · 09/10/2020 14:06

Sleaze is a little incensed today as South Wales plod has caught up with him and Wig. Another big crowd in Oxford as the 'truth tour' continues.

He has delusions of grandeur - he seems to think the Government are after him personally and may "take him out".

Shame there wasn't a nice big bouncer in that pub where he was harassing that poor girl last night. He deserves another black eye.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/10/2020 14:39

Pray tell @CatherineCookson !
I am blocked by Sleaze and do not have my burner to hand, so all I can see is Wig's lives of the thronging masses rapturously hanging on to their every word (i.e. the same handful of losers haranguing empty public spaces, while members of the actual public go about their normal business completely ignoring them...).

CatherineCookson · 09/10/2020 14:47

Apparently they were in an Oxford cafe when South Wales police turned up specifically looking for them. A letter was given - which he has but didn't take because someone else took it. Thankfully he knew what to say (I guess he didn't consent, told Plod about Common Law, and they probably all agreed covid is a hoax over a coffee).

Sleaze is now raging about it though and he will be in London tomorrow and in Cardiff next week regardless - unless he's taken out. If he's not then he and his cronies will be in Government soon and BoJo and co will be in prison for treason, genocide, 5G, The Lost City of Atlantis and may as well throw Shergar going missing in for good measure. (ok I've embellished a bit here lol)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/10/2020 14:55

Cheers for the update @CatherineCookson, sounds legit.

fitgirl26 · 09/10/2020 15:29

@CatherineCookson - Shergar 😂😂Brilliant!

ticktock19 · 09/10/2020 16:25

When the word ACQUIESCE escapes you Sleaze 😂

Apparently the papers they were given, but not taken or read, tell them that they'll be arrested if they appear on the 'truth tour' event organised for Cardiff. Police think they're the organisers along with Piers Corbyn - although they say they're not organising it.

As expected Sleaze doesn't consent and will be in Cardiff where presumably he'll be arrested and if found to be the organiser fined..

Wig should be able to flog a couple of Bitcoin to pay the fines! With all this going on I do hope they're keeping up with their various coin investments and their 'forever home' 'last build' business.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/10/2020 17:07

Ah yes, the 'forever home' that was due for launch 'next week' for over six months...
And strangely hasn't been mentioned for a year or so...
Maybe its premature demise (i.e. before it was even launched and their mug followers could chuck in their losses investments) is one of the drivers to their new job of bag carriers for the loony truth teller- at least they get accommodation in a cheap hotel each night of the tour...

Tupperwarelid · 09/10/2020 18:30

Totally not related to MLM but does Sleaze only own one shirt?

Bluewavescrashing · 09/10/2020 19:08

What's Castle up to these days? 🏰 Wish I hadn't been blocked.
