That image has been doing the rounds for literally decades, mostly in Private Eye.

She's Pamella Bordes and she's 1 year younger than me, 12 years younger than Neil who she was dating for a while allegedly at the same time as a few other prominent people:

Further research indicates they met in around 1988 so she would have been 27.
Must admit he looks a lot older than 39 in that photo so maybe he's lying about his age!

Ed: Corrected by Twisto a few posts below, the woman is Sajata Stephane. Still, she's definitely an adult in that photo.

I believe independence is only a temporary solution but is the only way for any sort of possibility for leftward change, yes it abandons everyone else but I don't know how feasible it is to continue to wait for the country as a whole to suck less

If the mainland is anything to go by, it takes a massive crisis that erases the credibility of the inherited wealth failsons for positive progress to be made.

This is a massive crisis at the very least! Will enough of Britain figure out the whole "uh maybe vote for someone compassionate and competent and stop treating money as evidence of intelligence"?

'cause if they don't, leaving is absolutely the right move. It might still be even if they do.

It's not Pamella Bordes, it's another woman who Neill was seeing at the time (we'll come back to her).

Private Eye first published the picture when Bordes sold her story (which included sex-for-money with enough Tory MPs that she had a House of Commons security pass) because the News of the World - sister paper to the Sunday Times - spiked the part of the story about her sleeping with Neill (then editor of NoTW sister paper the Sunday Times), and Neill (and Carter-Ruck) were thundering around threatening massive writs on anyone who dared suggest he'd had sex with Bordes (paid or not).

The Eye found a gossip-column pic of Neill - resplendent in regulation sex-tourist uniform - embracing a woman who looked very vaguely like Bordes and published it with a *completely straight* account of the gossip story - but then started shoehorning it, without context, into every single reference to him, Bordes, the Murdoch papers, and indeed vests (which is what led to the long-standing tradition of readers writing in with the flimsiest possible justification for them to publish it, e.g. "I am a great admirer of the unsung work of geriatric nurses, do you perhaps have a picture of someone helping a poor addled old man to stand up?"). It is of course childish as hell but also an absolutely *beautiful* bit of trolling because everyone then assumed that Neill had been caught with Bordes, without the Eye ever having said so.

It died down after a year or so until Neill let slip to someone just how much he hated that picture of himself, when it was instantly republished in every single edition for something like ten years - Hislop *really* hates Neill.

Fun fact about Pamella Bordes - she lived three doors down (although not at overlapping times) from Antonia De Sancha of David Mellor infamy. Must be something in the water in Chiswick, because Stephen Milligan MP had his deathwank in the next street over.

Anyway the lady in the picture is called Sajata Stephane, and she had the misfortune to date Neill for a few months in the late 80s. Now here's a question - how did the London-based little-black-book occupant happen to meet an American makeup artist who worked with many modeling agencies in New York?

Thanks for that, I've never heard the story behind it. If that's correct about her being 27 and him 39 then fair enough. He looks 50+ to me and I'd assumed it wasn't that old a pic.

I've got the strangest feeling the person going on about being a woman on the land, the husband waiting till the camera's on to square up to the police, and the "JUST BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL DO CPR" performative screaming, might not be the most reliable.

Also, you might want to look at that chap's other tweets and reporting and consider his angle; which in rough escalation is that Brexit hasn't caused any problems, Covid is a hoax, and Trump had the election stolen.

Leave.EU has left the UK, as Brexit forced the Eurosceptic campaign group to choose between its name and its country.

According to domain name registration records, the organisation, founded by businessman and activist Arron Banks, picked the former. The website is now registered in the name of Sean Power, the chief executive of the Ireland-based professional services company BSG.

When asked, however, Power, who is based in Waterford, insisted that he had no involvement with the organisation. When informed that his name and contact details were present on the registration, he said he would be “looking into the matter”.

Our street WhatsApp group has a little discussion. I said that in the absence of proper NHS resourcing and pay for nurses etc it felt somewhat hollow. Happily everyone agreed, including a nurse.
