Finally, Mahmood has been exposed as a liar by a High Court judge. Given that The Sun has recently been moaning about the waste of money involved in prosecuting Murdoch journalists and executives, it seems a touch odd that their star reporter’s lies should cause the police, prosecution and defence teams to waste of enormous sums of money in a trial that has collapsed due to Mahmood’s lies – and which, according to the judge, should never have been brought at all.
For those who don’t know, Mahmood operates classic entrapment stings, posing as a sheik or a wealthy Asian entrepreneur in order to get his targets pissed and then covertly films them committing indiscretions which are then splashed all over the Murdoch press the following Sunday. Despite his pompous assertion that “when exposing criminal wrongdoing, the ends always justify the means”, less than 50% of Mahmood’s stings result in criminal prosecutions and both the police and the CPS are sharply critical of his methods. The other 50% of his stories are deliberately fabricated stitch-ups involving manipulated “evidence” and he’s been getting away with it for far too long.
This cunt needs stabbing.

Er, the pic used is NOT the Fake Sheik, it’s Mazher Majeed, the corrupt cricketer exposed by the Fake Sheik.
The REAL Fake Sheik is here:

It seems then one thing he can not fake is being a complete and utter cunt. Everyone would pic that sober or pissed.

A wise man once said to me : “Sincerity. If you can fake sincerity then you’ve got it made…”

A postscript on the Fake Sheik:
His usual boast is that “around half” of his 500 stings result in criminal prosecutions. However, buried deep in the pages of the Leveson Report is the TRUE number of prosecutions arising from his stings: just 97.
Still, at least it seems that the police and CPS are looking at doing him for perjury and/or perverting the course of justice – as well as re-examining all the prosecutions where guilty verdicts were returned based on his “evidence”.

All journalists are cunts FW. You did not get a very good press back in your heyday as I recall.
The rot really set in when they started becoming “celebrities” with their own by-line photos. Before that they were just grubby little tossers in soiled raincoats. “News” is just a story embellished as necessary. Journos never believe what they are writing, the tragedy is that many of the great British public still do.
Spent a good few years peddling trash to the press so know whereof I speak.
