Polycule falls apart

I expect people remember that Heather Herbert (charged in relation to social media comments he made after Ann Widdecombe's death) is in a polycule with Sophie Molly (aka Sparkles, aka Euan Weddell) and someone called Poppybear.

Molly, I believe, is a witness for Jolyon Maugham in Sarah Phillimore's libel case against Maugham.

Poppybear has been posting some very indiscreet posts on BlueSky about both Molly and Herbert, and it looks, tragically, as if the polycule has fallen apart.

According to Poppybear, Herbert's comments about Widdecombe "painted a bullseye on all of us", and led to the police coming in and "invading" all their devices (whatever that means).

Also according to Poppybear, living with Sophie Molly is "like being permanently slapped around the face by pathological laziness unless it's something that grooms her ego."

Oh dear.

In a separate development, apparently Herbert has had his toxic kidney removed by the NHS so the money donated to the fundraiser is going to be used for something else:

Oh dear, keep your wits about you if you’re on any online dating sites 😆 the pool just got bigger

Not going to lie I'm enjoying following the break down of the polycule and Euan's fear that the terfs may be right and the poor lads won't get their hands on the cash.

I wish them all luck and future happiness away from each other. They will all be happier and healthier in the long run.

And so will we.

So now molecules?
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

There's a fourth member whose name escapes me at the moment, but is also a trans-identified male. What are the chances?

Shock Ouch!

That's the one! My word, break out the popcorn. This is going to be very messy. If it was happening to a less toxic bunch, I'd be feeling sorry for them, but in present circs, I'm saving my sympathies for the mental health workers, police and others who have to try to remain professional while dealing with these self-obsessed and dysfunctional men.

A script for a cutting edge C4 sitcom awaits.

Crikey. That sounds as bad as living with a bloke😂

murasaki · 31/07/2026 09:42

Haha!

I suspect this is the most correct Poppybear has ever been.

murasaki · 31/07/2026 09:43

We've seen the kitchen. Pathological laziness sounds about right.

In the old days, maybe in days to come but not now. They're still too scared to be creative.

But this is so very tragic, my heart bleeds and I'm crying into my yogurt.

Oh God, that photo!

Lins77 · 31/07/2026 10:11

Not sure whether it's better to have them all contained within one polycule than spread out across my city...

I'm seeing something Gimme Gimme Gimme-esque.

Surely James Dreyfus wouldn't mind donning a bad wig and a spinny skirt? He could make some money out of these creatures, and men like them, who tried to destroy his career.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 31/07/2026 10:55

Is Sophie Molly also known as Sparkles, and quite young?

Tallisker · 31/07/2026 11:00

Yes Sophie Molly or Soapy Wally as some wag dubbed him is AKA Sparkles. Not sure he’s young though.

Igneococcus · 31/07/2026 11:05

Awwww, that's a wee shame.

I think he's 38 (!!)

Edited to add: actually, I read that a couple of years ago

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 31/07/2026 11:09

Oh wow, then he’s not who I was thinking of. There was a 18/19 yr old who’d been knocking about with a couple of much older men.

That's Sophia Brooks aka Tarquin. Hangs around with Fred Wallace, Lindsey Watson and Halliday

He was the one who accused Glinner of assault

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 31/07/2026 11:15

Sophie Molly could easily be about 40 now. This is from 15 years ago and the beard is well established. As usual, I find myself thinking how much better the individual looks when presenting as his/her own sex. <a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190217035824/www.theskinny.co.uk/music/new-music/little-love-and-the-friendly-vibes-italian-leather-jacket-premiere" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20190217035824/www.theskinny.co.uk/music/new-music/little-love-and-the-friendly-vibes-italian-leather-jacket-premiere
