The LATEST On Matthew Perry’s Death

Matthew Perry brought a sense of humour on screen and off screen, and now probably onto his next life in the afterlife.

He was a lovely person on the sitcom ‘Friends’, and I’m sure Matthew Perry won’t be resting in his next life.

Sadly, Matthew Perry tragically died at his Los Angeles home at the age of 54.

At the height of his ‘Friends’ stardom in the 1990s, Matthew Perry romanced Julia Roberts, Neve Campbell and Baywatch celebrity Yasmine Bleeth in the space of just two years, yet he appeared to have died alone.

Matthew Perry had a long-standing affair with drugs and addiction and had dozens of life-saving surgeries, numerous trips to rehab clinics and spent $9 million trying to get clean as he struggled with drugs and alcohol.

Matthew Perry sadly died, aged 54 after allegedly drowning in his jacuzzi at home, however, no drugs were found at the scene and there was no sign of foul play.

According to law enforcement sources, first responders were summoned to reports of a ‘cardiac arrest’ at his Los Angeles home.

In 2019, he barely escaped death after his colon burst due to opioid overuse.

Just two years later he suffered another brush with death at a rehab facility in Switzerland where doctors administered a sedative which interacted with the opioids in his ravaged body causing his heart to stop beating.

However, Matthew Perry was the wise-cracking Chandler Bing in ‘Friends’, and Perry gave ‘Friends’ some of its finest moments over the years.

People are heartbroken that Matthew Perry has passed away, saying that he will be forever loved, always missed and never forgotten.

Of course, there are other important events going on in the world at the moment, but this unfortunate news of Matthew Perry is also a tragic loss that will touch a lot of people. We didn’t know him personally but he always came across as a gentle and caring soul, and this was an extremely sad end to a clearly troubled life.

England And Wales Must Sell New Houses As Freehold

All new houses in England and Wales will have to be sold as freehold properties under ministers’ revived plans to phase out the ‘feudal leasehold system’.

Next month’s King’s Speech, when the Government will set out its fresh legislative agenda, will include proposals to ‘restore true home ownership’ to buyers.

Promised new laws will ensure that all new houses constructed must be marketed as freehold, although new flats can be leasehold.

Ministers also intend to cap all ground rents on existing leasehold properties to a ‘peppercorn’ rate, as well as modify the standard contract lease extension from 90 years to 990 years.

They also want to remove the requirement for someone to have lived in a property for two years before they can negotiate an extension.

However, Labour slammed the plans as ‘thin gruel’ and emphasised how the Tories pledged four years ago to axe leaseholds for new houses.

In January this year, Michael Gove committed to abolishing the ‘outdated, feudal’ leasehold system by the next general election.

His plans were subsequently dropped amid reports of a conflict between his department and Downing Street.

However, according to a newspaper outlet, Michael Gove has now reached a compromise with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over a fresh package of reforms.

Housing minister Rachel Maclean confirmed there would be a new bill in the King’s Speech on 7 November.

She posted on X, formerly known as Twitter that plans to phase out leasehold and restore true home ownership confirmed as part of the King’s Speech.

She said that they would restore true home ownership to millions of people and end the reign of rip-off freeholder + incompetent profiteering management companies.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has estimated there are about five million leasehold homes in England, of which 70 per cent are flats and 30 per cent are houses.

The majority of flats in the private sector are leasehold. An estimated 94 per cent of owner-occupied flats and 71 per cent of privately rented flats, while around 8 per cent of houses in England are leasehold.

The proportion of newly built houses sold as leasehold rose from 7 per cent in 1995 to a peak of 15 per cent in 2016.

The proportion has subsequently fallen and was less than 1 per cent in December last year.

Leaseholders own the right to occupy their home but the building or land is owned by the freeholder or landlord.

The Tories announced four years ago that they would axe leasehold for all new houses, which means that leaseholders have been failed by the Government.

Not only that, social care is a travesty. Now every family has to sell their home so that they can pay for sheltered housing or a care home. I mean, what do we really work for? We don’t get anything for it when we need it the most. No wonder the younger generation doesn’t want to work, they know what’s coming when they retire – absolutely nothing!

All the Tories really want is to keep the poor in the gutter while the wealthy feast off them.

This Government, or any Government thereafter need to do more for the people and these management companies have been making a killing for far too long. However, watch this space, it won’t happen immediately, but slowly but surely our freedom to buy our own home will not exist at all! They want to take everything.

Wiped Off The Map

Shocking satellite images have revealed the destructive aftermath of weeks of Israeli airstrikes on neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip.

The photographs, provided by Reuters, reveal the true scales of the destruction the Israeli Defence Force’s (IDF) airstrikes have caused in Beit Hanoun and Atatra in the Northern Gaza Strip.

Prior to the bombing, large apartment buildings, homes, roads and the green of suburban trees and plots of land could be seen dotting the countryside.

However, a considerably different scene is the reality in these neighbourhoods now, as the ruthless bombing has laid destruction to much of what stood before.

Many of the photos reveal a dusty wasteland with crumbling structures and debris scattered all around.

The IDF suspects Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding in many of these neighbourhoods.

The Israeli Airforce has been striking targets, many of which include weapons depots and Hamas tunnels, since the beginning of the war on October 7.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said that nowhere was safe in Gaza amid Israel’s bombing.

Lynn Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, said in a statement that nowhere was safe in Gaza.

She said that when the evacuation routes are bombed when people north as well as south are caught up in hostilities, when the essentials for survival are lacking, and when there are no assurances for return, people are left with nothing but impossible choices.

Reportedly more than 7,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war.

So far, the total of 7,028 deaths includes 2,913 children, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

Yesterday the ministry reported 6,546 deaths, including 2,704 children.

Joe Biden said he had ‘no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using’, although he didn’t explain why.

The Council on American Islamic Relations said it was ‘deeply disturbed’ by his comments and called on the President to apologise.

Executive director Nihad Awad said that journalists had confirmed the high number of casualties and countless videos coming out of Gaza every day showing mangled bodies of Palestinian women and children.

It’s so sad that a so-called modern society would sink this low and have such a heinous disregard for human life. Sadly there are no rules in war, and it’s shocking that such a religious nation can do this to innocent people, including children and babies.

I don’t condone war of any kind. We all need to live together in peace, not bits and pieces. Do what you need to bring peace to Palestine, Israel, whatever you want to call it. It’s land, you can’t take it with you when you die. It’s there for you to nurture so that future generations can live on it in harmony, not devastation.

The Palestinians and Israelis need their heads banging together. You have lived on it for millions of years and some of that was peaceful, so why can’t you just stop all this fighting?

So, what was Israel called before 1947? Palestine of course, but a majority of biblical archaeologists deciphered a bunch of hieroglyphs as ‘Israel’, the first instance of the the name in the record. Under the British Mandate (1920-1948), the whole region was known as ‘Palestine’.

Why on earth would one human being want to kill another human being, well for one, greed, and of course land. Hasn’t there been enough war, enough killing? Perhaps like animals, once they got blood on their hands they started to relish the kill!

Mother Given All-Clear By Paramedics Before She Died

Paramedics who gave a young mother the all-clear hours before she died had a ‘significant gap in their training’, lawyers representing her family have claimed.

Lauren Page Smith, 29, was discovered with her two-year-old daughter clinging to her chest trying to wake her up at her Wolverhampton home in January.

Michael Portman-Hann, an associate at the law firm representing the Smith family, told a newspaper outlet that this was ‘a truly tragic case’ and called for ‘swift’ and ‘thorough’ improvements to prevent it happening again.

The lawyer at FBC Mandy Bowdler said, the conclusions of the investigation demonstrated that Lauren’s symptoms were not appreciated and the paramedics were falsely reassured, but also that there was a significant gap in their training and skill set.

The lawyer said that Lauren’s family and I had a number of concerns about the care which Lauren received, but also about the wider implications for future patients of the Ambulance Service.

They said that the Service recognises that improvements need to be made, and it’s really important for them that these are implemented thoroughly, competently and swiftly to ensure that no more avoidable deaths occur under their care.

Lauren’s family claimed that she had complained of chest pains and vomiting. Her mother Emma Carrington believes paramedics didn’t take the concerning condition of her daughter seriously.

She said that they believed that because of her age and the fact that she was calm the paramedics didn’t think she could be as ill as she was and that she didn’t get the care that she needed.

She said there were simply no words to describe how they felt as a family and that through no fault of her own, her daughter doesn’t have a future and her granddaughter will grow up never knowing her mother.

Ms Carrington, who discovered her daughter dead at home, added that Lauren had her whole life in front of her and that had now been taken away.

A post-mortem found that Smith died from a sudden heart attack after a blood clot in her lung. An inquest will take place at the Black Country Coroners’ Court on November 1.

Lauren had contacted 111 for advice and paramedics arrived at her home and performed brief assessments.

The Smith’s lawyers said they were concerned West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedics misinterpreted Lauren’s electrocardiogram (ECG) readings due to a lack of training and told her she was fine instead of taking her to hospital.

The problem lies with senior managers who cut corners and until they’re held to account nothing will change.

I just can’t imagine what this poor family must be going through – it’s such a tragedy that should have never occurred, and it does concern me that trainee paramedics now spend a substantial amount of time doing theoretical training and that may not be balanced out by practical learning from skilled paramedics in the field.

My heart goes out to the family, but I also know how dismissive the ambulance service can be towards people they’re called out to, and I have also personally felt their dismissive judgements. 

I suffer from Crohn’s Disease and I know that when I’m really bad and have to call for an ambulance I know that I need to take my hospital bag with me, which is always packed and ready, but this particular day I called the ambulance service, and I must confess they came extremely quickly but were extremely dismissive of me and asked me why I had a hospital bag, so I attempted to explain before the other one asked if I was going on holiday and laughed.

There is very little understanding when it comes to the people they’re called out to see, especially with their outdated guidelines on training or just lack of understanding of how people deal with pain differently, and it’s like they don’t believe you unless you’re rolling around on the floor screaming.

Britain’s Bravest Mother Saves Her Baby Girl

A hero mother who pushed her baby’s pram to safety in the split second before she was mown down by a speeding car, causing life-changing injuries, vowed that she would have done exactly the same again to save her children.

Becky Sharp was saluted for her bravery and fast thinking as a judge jailed a maniac drunk driver who left her for dead and would have hit her baby too if she hadn’t acted so decisively.

While her 11-month-old daughter Lorena miraculously evaded injury, Becky was left with severe brain injuries and numerous fractures after being tossed ‘like a rag doll’ through the air.

The 31-year-old now faces years of rehabilitation as she heals from the accident in April after being run over by scaffolder Dale Clark who had been distracted from his driving by attempting to buy cocaine.

The 38-year-old was jailed for three and a half years at Bournemouth Crown Court after admitting to causing severe injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at an accident and drunk driving.

Becky was in court to see him sentenced and had hoped he might express some guilt for ‘turning her life upside down’.

However, Dale Clark, who’d been on a vodka binge the night before the accident failed to even look at Becky as she sat in a wheelchair with her husband Dan by her side.

She said that she wanted to go to court because she was angry and she wanted to see him. She said that he didn’t make any eye contact, didn’t express any remorse and said nothing directly to her.

She said that she knew he’d written a letter to the court and that his mother came up to them at the end and said sorry. His grandmother mouthed ‘sorry’ and that was kind, but she was upset that he hadn’t said sorry to her directly.

In an exclusive interview from her hospital room, Becky said she was pleased the judge had praised her as a hero, and she said that it was nice of him to recognise that she pushed her daughter out of the way and that she would do it all over again if it was to save one of her children.

She said that she would do it multiple times if needs be and that she was just grateful that Lorena wasn’t hurt and that her other two children weren’t with her.

What was the judge thinking? Three and a half years. The man could have not only have killed her but her child as well. This is a shocking sentence.

The fact that he cleared off after the accident. He should have got ten years or more.

He probably won’t even do the three and a half years, that will be halved with probation. The justice system is old, antiquated and ridiculous.

She should have also been monetarily compensated, but I don’t suppose this man has any money to talk of. However, any assets that he did have should have been seized, sold and given to her and her family who have also suffered.

This was one courageous mother who would have to go through years of rehabilitation for her injuries. However, this low life who caused them will likely be out of jail in about 18 months’ time and free to carry on with his worthless life. There was never any justice in this sentence at all.

It just goes to show how broken our justice system actually is. It would be more fitting to call it the ‘Injustice System’.

The Unloveable’s

The RSPCA has revealed that some of Britain’s most unwanted animals have been waiting more than a year to be adopted.

Bosses at the animal charity published stats which show how specific breeds of dog and cat are statistically less likely to be adopted than others.

The most undesirable dog breed is the Saluki, the charity has announced, with one cross named Boycie accommodated in the RSPCA’s kennels for more than a year.

Another unwanted breed, perhaps more surprising, is the German Shepherd with one named Jaxon stuck in the kennels since April 2022, and it’s not just dogs that are unwanted, with cats also filling up spots.

One domestic shorthair named Elvis has been waiting for a new home for six months.

They also revealed that people are actually giving up animals more than they’re adopting. After a boom in animal adoption in 2019 and over the coronavirus pandemic, adoptions were down 30 per cent as of 2022.

On average, dogs wait 39 days to find a new forever home, while cats typically get paired up with a new owner 10 days sooner at 29 days, though the least wanted kittens can spend more than three months in the care of the RSPCA.

The charity is encouraging anyone contemplating getting a pet to consider adopting a rescue animal as part of its ‘Adoptober’ campaign, as it strives to debunk myths shrouding rescue animals that can prevent people from considering them over kittens or puppies.

Dr Samantha Gaines, head of companion animals at the RSPCA, said that the staff who care for their animals day in and day out know just how loveable each and every one of their rescue pets is and how different they are from one another, regardless of breed.

She said that they do find that some breeds take longer to find their perfect match.

She added that this was likely due to a combination of reasons, including beliefs, often false, about particular breeds, and some owners preferring certain sizes of pets, and that sadly these things could often stop people from even considering the possibility of adopting certain breeds, and that it was so sad that animals were overlooked because of how they look.

Dr Gaines added that people will even turn down the offer of adopting a black cat because of the superstition that they’re omens of bad luck.

She continued that they would urge anyone looking for a pet to do their research especially as the reputation of a particular breed or type is often undeserved.

Perhaps if the RSPCA didn’t have such absurd rules on who can adopt them, these animals might have homes to go to. I understand that there do have to be some limitations, but if they can’t seem to rehome them, then maybe they might consider lifting some of those restrictions.

The longer an animal is in a shelter in enclosures, it makes for an extremely unhappy animal. After all, who wants to be shut up in a cage for hours on end?

Generally, you have to leap through hoops to get a rescue animal, it’s a joke. Generally, an animal, such as a dog in particular would sense if that person was not right for them.

Dogs and cats are so adaptable, and having a huge garden isn’t always essential as long as that person is active and takes them out often, well, maybe not so much the cat, but certainly the dog. In fact, most pets spend their lives snoozing quite happily, especially as they age.

I Just Want To Go Home

A bus passenger who fell asleep and awoke to find himself locked inside a darkened bus smashed his way out while filming himself swearing in despair.

A video of the foul-mouthed rant by the unknown man has gone viral on social media.

In the film, posted on Snapchat and later re-uploaded to TikTok, the man begins by screaming: ‘I just want to go home. I am locked in a f* bus. Help me please.’

As he continues to swear he finally manages to break a window and climbs out. However, he’s still unable to get out of the bus depot and continues to yell and rave as he endeavours to climb over a wall.

Bus company officials on the Isle of Man have confirmed they’re investigating the incident which took place in the early hours of the morning at the Vannin Bus Depot in Douglas.

The video begins with the man begging for help saying: ‘I can’t get out. What do I do?’

He tries to open a locked door but says: ‘It doesn’t work. Get me out of this stupid bus. I’m trapped. It’s quarter past three in the morning.

‘I’ve had to smash the bus window open so I can go home. Cheers for that. It’s really made my weekend.’

After departing through the broken window the man speaks into the camera saying he was now standing on top of a Department of Infrastructure van to help climb an 18ft fence around the deserted bus depot.

The video concludes with the angry passenger saying: ‘The p**** did not wake me up.’

It subsequently emerged that the man had broken a window, but failed to use the emergency exit at the back of the bus that would have permitted him to exit without causing any damage.

A spokesman for Isle of Man police said they’re investigating the incident.

The spokesman said that they’d been made aware of a video circulating social media on the island of a male who was locked inside a bus during the early hours on Sunday, October 22nd.

The spokesman said that as a result of being locked in, the man was seen smashing a window to exit the bus and that they could confirm both the male in the video and personnel at Bus Vannin had been in communication with the police regarding the incident which would now be the subject of an investigation.

These kinds of things can happen, and I’m assuming that he used his phone to document the incident as evidence so that he wouldn’t feel so isolated, and just because the man was filming himself doesn’t mean that he wasn’t panicking.

It might all appear a tad melodramatic, but what if it was YOU who was enclosed in a darkened bus after waking up, you would panic as well. You might not be in a bus depot in Afghanistan, but nevertheless, you would be in an enclosed space, and let’s face it, who uses logic when they wake up in a darkened bus?

Although, it does make you wonder why he didn’t just call emergency services to get him out.

The point that’s missing is that he should never have been locked on the bus in the first place. Typically, when a bus pulls into a depot, it’s checked in case bags, phones or anything important is discovered, and then normally the bus is given a wash, so how did the driver miss him? But of course, he will get charged for the vandalism.

A Baby’s White Hair Made Him The Target Of Mockery

Many parents enjoy showing off cute pictures of their brand-new babies to friends and family. This was also true for Patricia Williams.

She snapped photographs of her son with affection, but when she tried to show off his photo collection to her friends, she got an unwelcome surprise.

Patricia gave birth to her son Redd in 2012. The baby boy’s mother didn’t notice that he had white hair until he was two months old, among other things.

When Dale looked up why their baby’s eyes kept darting from side to side, he discovered something incredible, this was a typical indicator of albinism.

Patricia was hesitant because she’d never heard of the term, but the boy clearly displayed the signs of albinism, including particularly fair skin, white hair, and tracking eyes.

The couple then consulted with an optician and geneticist for a more conclusive diagnosis.

Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1 (OCA1), which affects 1 in 17,000 individuals worldwide, was confirmed as Redd’s diagnosis.

Patricia remembers the enthusiastic anticipation of the hospital personnel at the birth of Redd because of his distinctive white hair and blue eyes.

Patricia, her husband, and their firstborn son, Gage, all had blonde hair, so she didn’t bat an eyelid.

Redd’s hair was so white that it glistened in the sunlight, she remembered thinking a month after they brought him home, and even though she tried to shield herself from his gaze, he continued to follow her.

His eyes were a remarkable hue of blue, bordering on red, in some illuminations.

When Patricia’s second son was born with the same problem, she knew it was something they would have to deal with for the remainder of their lives.

Rockwell was born with the same problem as his older sibling in February of 2018. People on social media used stolen pictures of the newborn infant to create awful jokes.

Redd has also been the target of schoolyard slurs and teasing because of his appearance. Because of this, his older sibling Gage started to watch out for him.

However, as Rockwell’s parents had done extensive research on albinism before his birth, they were well prepared for his arrival. However, they were unprepared for their son’s photographs to go viral online.

Dale and Patricia tried to get in touch with everyone who’d shared the image to ask them to remove it, but they quickly discovered that this was an unimaginable task.

He is truly an adorable little fella and he deserves nothing but love and happiness, just like any other child, and these so-called people, if you can call them people are wicked to the core and have no compassion, no soul, come to that. He’s not here for people to mock him, he’s here because he’s very very special.

Nobody should be mean to others and we should stop and think before we say or do something that could hurt someone, and we should keep in mind that everyone is different, not better or worse, just different.

Bullying used to be considered a playground hazard, perhaps even a crucial rite of passage, but times have changed and now there’s recognition that bullying can impact anyone, whatever age, and it makes their lives miserable and unpleasant.

These babies that are born with Albinism do not ask to be born like this, but it does occur, and parents should be teaching their children about conditions like this so that they don’t act aggressively towards that individual or child.

These children are really no different from anybody else, it’s just that they look different because the production of melanin, the pigment that colours skin, hair and eyes is not there. It’s a lifelong condition, although it doesn’t get worse over time.

They’re not monsters, they’re not sorcerers, and they won’t put a hex on you, and they’re usually as healthy as everyone else, although this condition can cause some form of visual impairment.

So, next time you see someone with Albinism, just remember they’re not from outer space, they’ve not been captive in Area 51 and have been let out on a day pass, they’re just like you or me and they deserve the same respect as everyone else!

Kremlin Denies Rumors of Vladimir Putin’s Cardiac Arrest

The Kremlin was forced to deny increasing rumours that President Vladimir Putin suffered a cardiac arrest only days ago, and laughed off claims he uses doppelgangers to cover for him in public appearances.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted when questioned about the news that Vladimir Putin had suffered a serious health episode, that everything was fine with him and that it was absolutely another fake (rumour).

Dmitry Peskov laughed in response to a different question about body doubles and denied that Vladimir Putin had any.

Dmitry Peskov said that he could say they had no doubles when it came to work and so on.

He added that these kinds of stories belong to the category of fake news, discussed with enviable tenacity by a number of media outlets and that this brought nothing but a smile in the Kremlin.

It’s the second time this year Dmitry Peskov has been forced to issue a denial about a swirl of information on the use of doppelgangers, often seen as related to seemingly serious Vladimir Putin’s health concerns.

Vladimir Putin, a judo enthusiast who has long cultivated an action-man image, turned 71 on October 7 and whispers of his ill health have been churning for years.

Most recently, General SVR Telegram channel, which regularly alleges Vladimir Putin is terminally ill with cancer, alleged he suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday evening.

The channel said all recent appearances by the Russian dictator, including foreign visits, have been by a body double or doubles.

It claimed that doctors resuscitated Vladimir Putin and he was taken to a special intensive care facility at his official residence.

The channel reported that doctors performed resuscitation, having previously determined that the president was in cardiac arrest. Help was provided on time, the heart was started and Vladimir Putin regained consciousness.

The channel is apparently run by a former Kremlin lieutenant general, known by the pseudonym Viktor Mikhailovich. It claims Vladimir Putin’s top apparatchiks and security henchmen control the activities of the doppelgangers.

In a 2020 interview, Vladimir Putin denied longstanding rumours that he uses body doubles, although he said he had been offered the chance to use one in the past for security reasons.

However, spectators have pointed to the Kremlin strongman’s altering appearance over the years as possible proof that he uses someone else to stand in for him on engagements he either doesn’t want to make or deems too dangerous.

Even if Vladimir Putin were to die, the war probably wouldn’t stop because most Russians want to destroy all Ukrainians. However, not all Russians supported this war.

Vladimir Putin probably does use doppelgangers, as for the cardiac arrest, well who knows? I wouldn’t wish death on anybody, but this comedian has to go! Mind you, how could he have had a cardiac arrest, he has no heart.

All oppressors seem to hang on forever, they must have some deal with the devil, but according to the press he’s been dying for a rather long time, well he’s not pegged it yet.

I wonder for how long after Vladimir Putin dies they will continue to use a body double, or perhaps he’s already dead and they’re not telling us.

Even if Vladimir Putin were to die, there would definitely be someone else to slide into his place, and they could be significantly more evil. On the other coin, if he dies, perhaps whoever takes over will recognise that this war has no merit and will end it – we live in hope!

Gordon Ramsay Is Mocked For Begging His Father-In-Law For £20,000 Flat Deposit When He Was ‘Skint’

Gordon Ramsay is being mocked by his fans for saying he begged his father-in-law for £20,000 for a flat deposit when he was ‘skint’, only to be told to sell his Porsche.

The celebrity TV chef, who has an OBE, said he and his wife Tana went to her father for a loan so they could buy a flat they ‘fell in love with’.

However, the 56-year-old said Chris Hutcheson, who was later jailed for hacking Gordon Ramsay, told him to sell his 911 Porsche instead.

Gordon Ramsay, who married Tana in 1996, told the High-Performance podcast it was ‘the best advice he ever gave me’ and he sold the car so they could purchase a flat.

However, the chef, who now owns homes in Bel Air, California and Wandsworth, South London, has been roasted on social media for being so out of touch.

Gordon Ramsay, whose net worth is estimated to be £610 million, founded his restaurant group in 1997 and has since been awarded seventeen Michelin stars.

He married broadcaster and author Tana, now 49, in 1996, whose father Hutcheson, became chief executive of Gordon Ramsay’s empire before a bitter feud saw him imprisoned for six months, accused of attempting to steal £1.4 million from his son-in-law.

However, Gordon Ramsay revealed the ‘best advice’ he received from his father-in-law was ironically regarding his finances.

He told the High-Performance Podcast that they were young, they were stupid and they were skint.

He said that he remembered going to ask his father-in-law if he could borrow £20,000 for the deposit for a flat that they fell in love with, and that he thought all was going well. They had a good lunch and then he asked about the deposit, saying that they had half of it but that they needed another twenty grand and said that he would pay him back in a year.

‘He said, ‘Okay, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll have another lunch with you when you sell your Porsche’.

‘I thought, ‘You f***er but you clever f***er’. 

He said there he was driving around in a flash 911 and they didn’t even have a house, they didn’t have a flat, they didn’t even have a roof over their heads, but that it was the best advice he’d ever given him, sell the Porsche.

I’m not sure what Gordon Ramsay is being criticised for. His father-in-law gave him sound advice and as a young man, Ramsay took it.

He might have been a bit of a fool when he was younger, but at least he admitted it, and it also shows that Ramsay is a very reflective guy.

Yet he owned a Porsche, couldn’t he see that owning a ridiculously pricey car was living above his means, and how could he not figure out for himself that selling the Porsche would give him the funds for their dream home?

Gordon Ramsay does come across as a bully to his young chefs who are trying to do their best

However, he is an amazing culinarian who’s worked hard at his craft. However, we only really see him in Hells Kitchen USA, and many of the contestants have said how incredibly supportive he can be, and that the shouting et cetera is for the benefit of the programme.

He might be a potty mouth, but he is a millionaire and he’s worked hard for it, but he’s like Marmite, you either love him or you hate him!
