I will look for people I particularly liked elsewhere and say hello, but that’s it.

Just been reading his social media (FB). He’s evidently a very popular and respected author, and actively engages with fans. I wonder… do (alleged, in this case) sex offenders manage to compartmentalise that part of their lives? Or is the everyone not knowing part of the thrill?

And people will believe this crap too.
A video shared online with captions claiming it shows an asylum seeker giving a tour of their home after being removed from a migrant hotel is misleading.
The clip was actually filmed by a property investor to market a house which is up for sale.

Isabel Oakshott, partner of Richard Tice, and vocal Reform Party UK supporter, was highly critical of Nadhim Zahawi. What is her opinion now?
![^ Personal life
56
Oakeshott married Nigel Rosser and has three children. [46][47] In 2018, she began a relationship with businessman and Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice. [48][49]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, neither Oakeshott nor Tice denied their attendance at a garden barbecue (allegedly against the regulations at the time). Instead, they made reference to testing their eyesight an apparent signal to an earlier Dominic Cummings scandal.[50]
In January 2025 Oakeshott confirmed she had moved to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates with her children several months earlier, stating the move was prompted by the introduction of VAT on private school fees by the Labour government. [51] [52] Richard Tice, her partner, confirmed he was splitting time between Dubai and Skegness. [51]
Oakeshott is a supporter of Brexit, and has close links to the Conservative Party donor Michael Ashcroft. [53]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:noqaydlcbia5upq6va2p2znw/bafkreifgrrp3fg2eaqrl633mcwnwurpa4xy364m2lymanorfjsykqzddye@jpeg)

"[Farage's] presence felt like constant noise. The persona he had adopted was destructive and intolerant of anything non-British. He wasn’t very good at anything – no great orator, charismatic, or engaging. Being vitriolic was the only way he’d get noticed."
So, he was then *exactly* who he is now.

For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏
