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:

Meanwhile Tabitha is advising Sparkles to get legal advice re the kidney crowdfunder through the medium of BlueHair.

This Tabitha is the enigma of the group, anyone know anything about him?

It feels like being Pliny watching Vesuvius erupt from the safety of Misenum in the bay of Naples. But without the sadness.

Beautiful 👏

Excuse me! Point of information here! Herbert hasn't got a dick, well technically he has , but it has been re purposed into a lady pouch ( such good reuse.recycle green vibes, give him a sticker ). He is very proud of the fact that he has to lie on the floor of disabled toilets in airports to dilate his pouch , so proud that he took time out of this special lady pouch care routine to post pictures. What a mensch !

Gross reminder but hahahaha also.

BlakeCarrington · 02/08/2026 12:02

I was previously unaware of the heroic struggles of this brave polycule. Thanks all for drawing thems to my attention, this thread rules 😂😂

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.

Worst ever episode of Gogglebox, there.

No, only that he gives me the absolute creeps. He’s a big lad. I don’t think he lives in the cule. And I think he is a lot brighter than the other 3 and can spot a useful idiot

There have been many tags to the DWP on Twitter highlighting this. Whether anything has come from any of them we don't know. Well I suppose we do because Euan would be squealing like a stuck pig at the injustice if he'd been contacted.

Its not the dwp who would deal with it as disability benefits are devoted to Scotland they would need to report him to social security Scotland

I wish we still had the laugh reaction to posts …. This thread is giving all the lolz

SM is in Scotland so benefits would be administered by Social Security Scotland, not DWP. I think SM's claimed to get the standard daily living rate of Adult Disability Payment (PIP in England) but no mobility award, & no means tested benefits because of Herbert's income.

Poopy is on pip, and seems to have been frequenting car boot sales this morning

Fortunately one of the first things PBear bought is a mirror. Priorities, people.

Not sure what Cambridge has done to deserve him.

taking advantage of the local situation, now have a mirror 🪞 caffetiere and a lamp thanks to the car boot sale down the park and ride. spent like a tenner and should I end up back in Cambridge permanently I am pretty confident I can come up with some cool vibes on a tight budget. 🤷

Having said that, imagine having Sparkles, or indeed any of them, as a colleague.

Imagine being the HR department having to deal with the complaints 😱

Judging by the photo upthread , he definitely needed a mirror.

Yes I’m very curious who is being referred to there.

Well that’s a turn up for the books - and giving out Brook’s real name (assuming this is not some elaborate sleight of hand).

Interestingly, someone with that same name was registered as being born in Lambeth in Q1 2007.

Sparkles seemed to know about Glinner’s arrest ahead of time, and FT Woukd have known about Glinner flying in, so maybe some comms going on between them (unless Sparkles was telling porkies).

This is the first time Sophia Brooks's real name has been revealed, isn't it? (This is the person who has been hounding Glinner, and whom Glinner always refers to as Tarquin. Brooks also turned up at the LGBA conference the time all the crickets were released.) We know that Brooks is closely connected to Steph Hayden and former police officer Lynsay Watson, both of whom have been involved in making malicious complaints to the police about individuals they've targeted.

I can't find a record of Michael Semionov anywhere, however, including Ancestry, which suggests that might not be his real name either. Or possibly he was born outside the UK, or possibly again that ptrjms is making the whole thing up.

I couldn't find that! You either have better search skills than me or you're using a different site.

I found it on the GRO website, under search online indexes for births.

Odd contouring there. Forgot to blend too
