Wings Over Scotland


She lives by the river

Posted on August 01, 2015 by

Michelle Mone, the fake-tan-and-diet-pills tycoon who threatened to leave Scotland if the SNP won the 2007 Holyrood election (but didn’t when they did), then threatened to leave if Yes won the referendum (but did when it didn’t), now lives in a very expensive flat by the Thames in London with a lovely view of Tower Bridge.

And boy, does she ever want you to know about it.

Because no matter what happens in Michelle’s life – whether it’s having breakfast or going for a run, attending a celebrity birthday party or celebrating the birth of a royal baby, mentoring some young entrepreneurs or her daughter buying kittens – it always seems to necessitate her tweeting a picture of her scenic deck.

And no, that’s not a euphemism, you filthy pigs.

We suppose it’s only natural. Given her constant threats to move whenever people in Scotland did something she didn’t like, it’s clear that Ms Mone believes everyone in the country spends every waking minute caring deeply about her personal location.

It’s nice of her to keep us updated.

    I could say she’s a bit unhinged or that she’s a needy, tedious cow but she might say I’m a vile abusive cybernat.. It would seem that she’s still trying to tell her ex husband that her life is brilliant. It’s such a shame. She has no dignity.

    The cock up that caused a business to go tits up.

    The woman is obviously suffering from feelings of deep insecurity, uncertainty & unnerving anxiety about herself

    The self conscious, attention seeking images in swanky costumes in equally swanky locations appears to demonstrate a lack of self confidence, irrational or illogical though, that claim may be.

    But it’s a common expression of possessions & image projection from those who struggle with inner self belief.

    I would guess some of it emerged as a consequence of her private investigator discovering that her husband was secretly nobbing Samantha Bunn, one of her employees.

    In the Record, she dismissed cybernats as “muppets”.

    Her ex described her autobiography as a “work of total fiction”. She confessed to spiking his drink with laxatives, trashing his wardrobe and vandalising his Porsche.

    I can’t seem to suss where in the east of Glasgow she grew up. Perhaps she’ll take the title ‘Lady Mone of Parkheid?’

    On the subject of houses by the Thames, she used to stay in the Dorchester Hotel during her London business trips. She was so taken by the furniture that her former matrimonial home in Thorntonhall, Glasgow was kitted out (at a cost of £600,000) entirely with furniture from the same suppliers as the Dorchester’s. The house had 12 rooms. She and her ex husband both suffer from OCD, so they had 4 dishwashers to avoid any any dishes lying around.

    I’m sure she’ll serve the residents of the East End well, and explain to them the benefits of Tory austerity.

    She’s had her knockers that’s for sure.

    I remember watching a documentary on her a few years ago and she came across as very insecure, emotional and rather spiteful. I kind of felt sorry for her. Her behaviour during and after the referendum was pathetic however, and for a grown woman she should know better.

    You can have all the money in the world but you can’t take it with you when you go and it cannot buy you happiness. What kind of legacy do you leave behind when all you care about is status? The answer is none.

    There are a lot of people like her in the world who think that people who are poor or struggling are just lazy and all they need is an attitude adjustment. As for getting a peerage surely this is just some kind of joke?

    This system that Mone wanted us all to endorse is looking out for her, well quelle fuckin surprise! The deil looks after his ane…

    We need to not simply win our independence but build a society based on equality, democracy and compassion rather than privilege, materialism and nepotism.

    It amazes me that the people of the UK has tolerated the House of Lords so long, tolerated so many vampires drain the life from the rest of us.

    So Mone gets to coin it in for doing nothing..
    another mouth to feed. Each member costs the taxpayer an average of £115,000 per year.

    So how many divs like me have to work full time to pay for this extra parasite? Maybe 20? What happened to the age of austerity when we canny apparently afford to properly support people who are out of work or disabled or veterans or even just children who have 2 older siblings?

    All this must end.

    No way Westminster will change to elected second chamber because the vast majority of unionist MPs want to become Lords themselves.

    This way they don’t have to bother being elected by their scummy constituents,and have status and a sinecure for life.

    Insecure, unhappy but more than anything unstable Michelle Mone, the ultimate narcissist, has now achieved her penultimate goal that is in becoming a member of the House of Lords.

    One step away from achieving her long term aim of finding some old billionaire, who fantasises about big boobs, to support her financially because she’s technically skint. Additionally getting revenge on her ex-husband who could ultimately see right through her and eventually dumped her. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned so they say …. worst still check out reasons for / symptoms of narcissistic rage.

    She’ll claim for her apartment by the river Thames and people like you and I, the taxpayer, will pay for it. She’ll sally along to Westminster and sign in every morning (or more than likely afternoon) to get paid £1,500 a week tax free for doing nought. We’ll pay for that too.

    Will all of this make her happy? No it won’t. Narcissists are incapable of ever finding peace of mind or real happiness. More than anything she’ll make everyone she comes into contact with, especially the next Mr Moan, lives totally unbearable.

    The news this week between Sewel leaving the House of Lords and Mone joining it (common denominators … Scottish …. obscene greed for money … power mongers …. addictive personalities … great ‘conning’ actors ….. ill-fitting bras) makes the best case / s ever for abolishing the House of Lords ASAP.

    Spot on with what you said.

    To think people like Mone might end up in the House of Lords beggars belief and should be cause for serious concern. She has clearly not been given a booby prize here. Unfortunately no good can come from it.

    Being part of the union is like suckling on a teat filled with poison and the sooner Scotland takes a hard bite on that noxious nipple and breaks away the better.

    She isLsonot financially astute shelling out by the week. Buying the flat would have been a smat investment at £ 3 t0 5 millions but renting is juar a drain without return

    She ia not rich and just a bit flush for a short time

    Plus school fees

    she will be bust in a few years, sadly, unless she hooks me.

      We have no idea if she owns it or rents it. Though the rest of the building does seem to be for rental.

    I glad she has gone, I don’t need to f****** listen to her mouth anymore and her fucking boasting about her life and about her houses and her money. I am sticking to being poor but having my, principals intact, my own home where I am proud and have grown without doing my country down. The less we talk about this Person the less we will hear or see of her and the less important she becomes.

    What I find deeply sad is that the UK legislature is being filled with sycophants, narcissists, self-obsessed chancers, etc.

    I absolutely believe that HOL should be abolished, leaving no hiding place for those who have been elected in the Commons. I have long believed that the some of the hereditary peers are far preferable to the appointees.

    Completely agree, it needs to go.
    These pictures and tweets to meet just display a need for acceptance. I’m in London all the time and would want nothing less than an expensive rabbit hutch at the side of the Thames.

    I derive great pleasure watching my son walk into the garden crawl under some netting and eat raspberries off a bush which cost a few quid.

    This pains me to write but I somehow feel driven to do it so here goes-

    26-6-15: if this us not a studio/location montage then it a poor exposure balance, she does not look like she was there; must be a manipulated image as her right ear would be in deep shadow if she had simply stood there and how does her hair ‘billow’ but not dress sleeves? Last thing on this one, she may be a picture but a trifle over exposed! (My apologies Carry On film team).

    23-6-15: look at the horizon, the bridge and river are not exactly level.

    3-6-15: Moon? two crane lights!

    24-5-15: photo by a.n.other this time as tower bridge growing out of her napper.

    10-5-15: confirms above thought as she is in this one so gets someone ‘in’ to take this and the other carefully planned images.

    5-5-15: given weather forecast for that date the photo was probably taken on another day.

    23-4-15: how did she post at 7:46pm that she was off to dinner but is able to say she ripped her dress in the car and, if she is so late how did she have time to get have a photo taken and post about something that had yet to happen?? okay she posted in the car perhaps.

    Sorry about all that rubbish but I always like to give something back, even if it is just my commoner’s opinion!!!

    I am not going to jump on the I hate MM bandwagon but it’s a shame that she feels the need to display her wealth this way, she is clearly insecure and in need of attention to justify her existence on this planet.

    I have absolutely nothing against people who worked hard to be wealthy, my uncle is extremely wealthy and he doesn’t even buy a flash car, he said to me, he only spends his wealth for my aunt, 2 cousins and the house, that is how he is successful when obtaining business from his clients, he doesn’t turn up showing off his flashy car.

    MM is just a long line of “Scots” that suffer the cringe that they deny all Scottishness and move to England where they feel that they wouldn’t be looked down upon for being a multi-millioniare.

    I, for one, am delighted that she has moved to London, gutted though that she will be active in politics and will have a part in the political affairs of Scotland and also have a voice within the media, guess being an Unionist does have it rewards.

    Yup, there seems to be a theme of some sort going on there in those pics, but I just haven’t quite worked out what is yet… 😉

    Her favourite newspaper/website/right-wing propaganda outlet says:

    “And it is believed that the Conservatives want to make the tycoon a business czar as a reward for backing the ‘No’ vote.”

    Soooo, what about all those other proudScotbuts? There must be hunners ae thum…

    Actually, according to ‘official figures’ there were 2,001,926 people, allegedly, “backing the ‘No’ vote”. Why only one peerage ‘award’ for being a proudScotbut? Shouldn’t the other 2,001,925 get one too? Where are their peerages? What say you, Davey boy?

    Maybe it’s a dosh thing. Ms. Mone is said to be worth some 38 million smackeroonies. Pehaps Cameron and the Conservatives equate having money as having the right to be within Westminster’s debating chamber scrutinizing and revising on UK legislation without being elected to do so.

    “And she will bring something new to the stuffy Lords. It needs shaking up.”

    Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You go Ms.Mone, you go shake’em up!

    Actually, if you look at the web site for the apartment block, it has some really quite nice rooms plus there is a welcome hamper and slippers provided when you arrive, and if you had the money (or you don’t overly concern yourself with what might pay for it, as finance was not your strongest attribute), then why not..

    However this apartment block is really a “Souped up Travelodge, Premier Inn etc.” nothing more. You cannot buy these apartments but you can stay for one day or up to a year maximum.

    So Michelle, it has no on site restaurant, shop, car park or bar. I do hope your mother brought you down some noodles, coffee and milk when she visited you. It might indeed have a nice view when it brightens up, but it is not your home much as your fantasy world thinks it should be.
