The very curious case of the Ukrainian male models and the arson attack on Starmer’s previous home and car is currently being held at the Old Bailey.

You would think it was a newsworthy case, why would three Ukrainian models torch property and vehicles belonging to the Prime Minister and how did they know where to go?

Yes! The curious case of the Ukrainian models in the night!

I fear we will never know the truth.

Curiouser and curiouser…

Oooh that sounds very curious and a bit chilling and suspicious!

Maybe it’s for safeguarding issues ie personal details re Pm and family? Who knows though!

Umm.
Is anyone surprised?

GrannyGravy13 Tue 28-Apr-26 18:13:04

There are some reports on X

Not if as suspected there are Russian criminal links, no. The last thing that would be helpful would be the gutter press crawling all over a trial.

We shouldn't be discussing a criminal case while it is active.

We shouldn't be discussing a criminal case while it is active.

Which is why we are not seeing it plastered all over the media - the British media know they should not be jeopodising(sp?) an investigation and possible trial.

Exactly.

It is sub judice.

Eh, what? Bit behind with the news.
First thought: why would anyone from Ukraine have an issue with the UK? Of whichever colour, I think our governments have been steadfast in supporting Ukraine. Can’t stand Johnson but he got that right.

According to X
There must be a super junction somewhere as there’s a near total media wipeout on the case.
Up in Court tomorrow.

Two of the fires took place in Kentish Town, north London – one in the early hours of May 12 at the home where Sir Keir lived before he became Prime Minister and moved into Downing Street. A car had been set alight in the same street on May 8 last year.

The other fire was on May 11 at the front door of a house in Islington, converted into flats, where Sir Keir lived in the late 1990s.

I would not trust George Galloway to take the dog out if he was already outside.

Allira Tue 28-Apr-26 22:20:22

It's all very odd.

Basgetti Tue 28-Apr-26 22:21:28

Okay. George Galloway says so?

Gorgeous George! So it must be true 😂😂😂

Odd and quiet Allira.

I remember the events, 'the fire-bombing',taking place and being reported in the Press. Two of the men were referred to as 'male models'

Casdon Wed 29-Apr-26 09:44:45

I remember the events well too, and questioning who had provided a list of properties, and a car, which the PM had previously used but no longer was doing. Which Secret Service was involved, who were these men working for, I wonder.
