Pub Boss Slams Editor’s Claims of Violence as ‘Fantasy’: The Shocking Face-Off!

BBG News

In my role as the team captain on “Have I Got News For You,” I take great pleasure in giving pompous politicians a well-deserved nudge towards humility.

However, it seems that the Private Eye editor has found a formidable opponent in Tim Martin, the founder and head of JD Wetherspoon pub chain.

64-year-old Hislop asserted that he had seen a case of domestic violence and a group of teenagers dealing drugs in a local Welsh pub known as Wetherspoons.

However, at the age of 69, Martin maintains that the alleged violent event never transpired and instead suggests that Hislop was merely indulging in fantasies. In his newsletter, the pub owner has shared some exchanged letters between Lynn Picknett, a devoted customer, and Hislop.

Ms Picknett penned a letter to Hislop, expressing her disapproval over what she perceived as derogatory remarks he made about Wetherspoons on the well-liked BBC One panel show. She affectionately refers to the chain, famous for its affordable drinks and tasty meals, as a “cozy and inviting refuge.

In response to Ms. Picknett, Hislop shared details about his latest visit to a Wetherspoons pub in Wales. He claimed to have witnessed an incident where a woman appeared to be physically assaulting her partner, and overheard a group of individuals who seemed underage attempting to sell drugs at prices lower than the discounted drinks.

This has not gone down well with Martin, who is known for his campaigning for Brexit.

Martin confessed that his gut feeling upon reading Mr. Hislop’s response to Ms. Picknett suggested that he might have been overstating things a bit, or to put it more straightforwardly, he seemed to be embellishing the truth.

It seems that despite the fact all our pubs are equipped with CCTV, we’ve found no evidence of the reported incidents occurring in any Welsh pub while Mr. Hislop was there. In other words, even if such behavior had taken place as claimed, it would have been quite reckless given the CCTV coverage, but the footage does not support these allegations during his visit.

Regardless of the circumstances, I reached out to Mr. Hislop to find out which pub he had gone to, hoping it would aid our inquiries. However, he chose not to assist us with our investigation.

 

Poppy’s ex to marry lookalike

Next month, Poppy Delevingne is expected to welcome her first baby, however, her former spouse also shares some intriguing developments of his own.

As a devoted follower, I’m sharing the news that at the age of 46, I, James Cook, have found myself at the beginning of a new journey. I’ve become engaged to Lauren Brown, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to my ex-wife, also 38 years old. The proposal took place in Bhutan, where I found myself moved to ask for the hand of the photographer’s agent to whom I am now deeply committed.

In 2014, Cook and Poppy tied the knot, but they parted ways in 2022. Poppy is currently pregnant with her new partner, Archie Keswick, who is 44 years old and a member of the influential Jardine Matheson dynasty.

 

Last week, Alex Rayner, who is close friends with Prince Harry, stood up for him in the dispute concerning their charity Sentebale. Rayner claimed that the chairperson, Sophie Chandauka, didn’t adequately support Meghan Markle amidst the criticism she faced, because she was allegedly upset and felt slighted as she wasn’t considered the most prominent woman of color at a polo event.

At the International Restaurateurs’ 8 Hand Dinner this week, public relations expert Rayner, aged 46, engaged in a friendly sparring match with boxer David Haye, who is also 44 years old, during the event held at the Rosewood Hotel in London. The dinner was sponsored by Visit Malta and Neft Vodka.

 

It’s double delight for TV’s Ellie

2022 saw the personal life of morning show host Ellie Costello from GB News become a media focus, as she disclosed her harrowing experience with stalking by a program guest.

Currently, Eamonn Holmes’s co-host is excited to share some news – she will be getting married to Gerard Durkan this coming weekend.

Ellie, aged 31, shared with me during a charity event that they are planning a formal marriage ceremony this coming Saturday. It promises to be a delightful, private gathering for our families in London. Following that, there’s another wedding celebration planned in the Southern region of France.

She and Gerard, 29, a commercial manager, met as students.

 

Simon Le Bon, a member of Duran Duran known for singing “Hungry Like The Wolf”, shares that he and his wife, Yasmin, relish consuming uncooked sea urchins. Notably, it’s their reproductive organs that are safe to eat.

He mentions on the Travel Secrets podcast that they consume a wide variety of foods, suggesting ‘We have quite an open palate for different types of food items.’ Some listeners might find it somewhat unsettling or unusual.

 

Are you disturbed by mysterious noises during the night? Consider the plight of Lady Rose Cholmondeley, who, at just 25, wed a man 23 years her elder – the Marquess of Cholmondeley.

The couple, who are good friends with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been contemplating the joys and challenges that come with living in Norfolk. Interestingly, they reside only about 11 miles away from Anmer Hall, which serves as a getaway for William and Catherine.

Rose, age 41, contemplates and remarks that Houghton Hall, the Palladian mansion constructed by her husband David’s ancestor, Robert Walpole, is quite massive. However, its grandeur doesn’t make it immune to nighttime trespassers – a fact that David, 64, discovered during lockdown.

He mentions that some beetles descended the chimney and began eating the tapestries. However, we managed to handle the situation rather swiftly.

During his time at Eton, he went by the jovial nickname ‘Rocksausage’ while holding the courtesy title of the Earl of Rocksavage.
