Bet all those blokes were under 55 years of age too as everyone seemed to look older then.

Ms Bahra added: "The complainant has chosen what messages to provide to police, and she hasn't provided the full exchange with Dr Wallis [Katie Wallis].

This reads as though she just screen shotted some text messages, not revealing the full thread, but I would have thought that the CPS would have needed compelling evidence to bring this kind of case to court?

Nadine Dorres' book has insight into that. She claimed that Central office of the Conservatives spent a long time selecting individuals with skeletons in their closets so they could control them once in office. That is why their whole party seemed to go to shit at the same time. What is Labour's excuse do you think?

Or long pointless train journeys?

I think the man at the bottom left is Jeremy Thorpe, for a start.

They just keep making our arguments for us don't they 😂

I think the large chap at the back was Cyril Smith, a pedophile sex offender whose crimes came fully to light after his death in the wake of the Saville awfulness. But there had been many, many accusations and IIRC Private Eye published stuff about him

And don't forget Clement Freud, as well as Smith and Thorpe!

David Steele too, didn’t he stick up for Cyril Smith when there were allegations?

edit- wiki says “failed to investigate” so I think I’m ok stating that.

They weren't all criminals. One of those was my Dad's employer. He wasn't an MP for very long, admittedly.

The man I mention above would have turned 53 that year. You're right, they do look old.

“This is harassment” comment is slightly ironic!

That was my constituency and I can never forget the Daily Mail report on the defeat of the aforesaid doofus, Delwyn Williams, which stated it would give him more time to relax on the beach at Welshpool. My, how we laughed...😂😂😂

😂

Funnily enough, I was just the other day admiring an article in Walesonline - not a frequent experience, I can assure you - and checked the byline, and it was Conor Gogarty.

And from a further search, he generally did come across as a incisive, intelligent and committed kind of journalist, and I see this is being borne out... 😄

At the local paper we used to call the type of photos taken outside court/of potential baddies in public 'snatch pictures'. Snatch also being slang for female genitalia which the TRAs seem to be obsessed with.

🤣

He has plead guilty

Looks slightly less dishevelled at today's hearing.

Wallis’s barrister-
She said it was important to know "what was happening in Dr Wallis' life and mind" at that time

It really, really isn’t. Stalking, harassing, car-totalling, justice-dodging Wallis’s mental gymnastics are of interest to no one. He tormented his poor ex wife and should be held fully accountable.

'She started the hearing by applying for an adjournment for a psychiatric report to show that Wallis had been experiencing a "psychotic breakdown" during her police interview.
"For the period of incarceration he was doing bizarre things," said Ms Bahra. "The officers are trying engage with him but for the whole period he is obsessed with crisps.
"The second part of the interview takes part in the cell. He is covering his body with a blanket and there is a bunch of rubbish in front of him. He doesn't engage."'

Wallis, of Windlass Court in Butetown, Cardiff, stood in the dock wearing a blouse and cardigan, with pink nails and a Louis Vuitton-style handbag. In the basis of plea she admitted harassment using phone communications between February 14 and March 21 in Cardiff but the allegation she had driven past her home was dropped.

Ms Bahra said Wallis had twice tried to take her own life and twice been sectioned in recent months. She added that the period of harassment coincided with her gender transition and that Wallis had been struggling with mental health issues including gender dysphoria.

The case was adjourned to July 14 for sentencing following a psychiatric report to "look at issues involving gender dysphoria", the court heard.

On a previous court date the court had heard Wallis and Ms Lovell were in a relationship for more than 15 years and divorced in 2024.
"The Crown will say that following the victim informing the defendant of a new relationship the defendant's behaviour has become harassing in nature," said prosecutor Simone Walsh. "The frequency, nature, and contents of the messages and voicemails amounted to harassment of the victim. Despite being arrested on February 28 and released on police bail the defendant has continued to send messages to the victim."
In that hearing, Ms Bahra said her client's mental health had "spiralled" and that there was no intent to harass. She added: "The complainant has chosen what messages to provide to police and she hasn't provided the full exchange with Dr Wallis [Katie Wallis].

"Dr Wallis was going through a very important stage of his transition process, which was to come out full-time, and the complainant took issue with that. The complainant did not want Dr Wallis to come out full-time as transgender. This involved announcing himself as a woman to the world and dressing as a woman full-time.”
Ms Bahra added that her client saw her ex-wife as her “only emotional support” and that this was the reason she was “reaching out to her”.'

'In 2022 [he] was fined £2,500 and ordered to pay £620 in prosecution costs and a £190 victim services surcharge after being found guilty of failing to stop and report an accident and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position
[He] had fled the scene after crashing her Mercedes E-Class saloon into a telegraph pole in the early hours of November 28, 2021. The then-MP said ]he] had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that locals approaching [him] while [he] was dressed as a woman had triggered a “trauma attack” which caused him] to flee to a “place of safety”.'

(corrected pronouns for clarity)

A salutory tale for those who think transition improves mental health.

I hope his poor ex wife gets a massive restraining order and he leaves her alone for ever.

This is quite clearly a very mentally unwell person.

Anyone who argues that it helps to affirm this person's identity delusions is themselves not in their right mind.

All the legal professionals, journalists and presumably healthcare staff involved with this person are doing them a great disservice to legitimise cherry picked aspects of their mental ill health.

By going along with the idea that this is now a woman, who should be referred to and addressed as such, and reported on with female pronouns, they are digging themselves and their client into a deeper hole, divorcing them further from the reality that they need to be supported to acknowledge and live within.

An interesting dereliction of duty from all angles.

Apart from the complainant of course, what a nightmare she must feel she and her children are in.

Vulnerable, absolutely. But again, I'm like a broken record, 'vulnerable' does not necessarily equate to harmless.

I hope his wife is okay.

I think it's obvious that Wallis is very unwell. Some psychological care, far away from the public gaze, would be best for Wallis.

Oh yes, and a strict restraining order.

It seems to me that the people who sell gender transition as a fix for your mental problems are exactly the same as the online hucksters who sell "one weird trick" that will clear your debts/get you to a healthy BMI/sort out your mental health traumas/make your johnson totally bigger.
