Anita Roddick: Damn The Dead Dame.

By Uncle Monty.

From reading the newspaper obituaries you’d think
she was some sort of true goddess, but Dame Anita

Roddick was little more than a hard-nosed money

worshipper who rarely, if ever, prayed to God while

she was yet alive because she really thought she was

a “real” goddess. A three-legged female rat could

have come closer to that than Anita any day.

g
She was all politically correct in her public persona
and so she was adored for all the wrong reasons
as she made piles of money of which she gave some

to John Bird to start The Big Issue with her hubby
Gordon Roddick at the very start of the English

1990’s.
c
Then suddenly a couple of years ago, Anita Roddick
unexpectedly dropped dead from some sort of brain
hemorrhage. Pooooooooor thing!! Before her death,

she’d disposed of some £51 million (or almost 100

million US dollars) to reduce what ever death tax

that might have been due on her greedy estate.

"But I Can Be So Nice When I Want To Be," So

The Big Issue's Hatchet Woman Sam Woolock

(Shown Below) Could Well Say. She Was Cer-

tainly Nice To Dame Anita Roddick as the dame

played "homelessness" outside of London's Covent

Garden Tube Station at the behest, I suspect,

of always Big Headed John Bird .

c

The Big Issue's "Hatchet Women” Sam Woolock
spent a few nights rough sleeping with Anita
at Covent Garden. Never at a loss to boost her
squeaky clean business image, the dame got her-
self a big sleeping bag and well-wrapped clothes
to bed down with some real street folks like
Sam, who once told me abit about her stay on

the street with Anita in toe. It was all a put up

job, if you will, for the public image of The Big

Issue and of The Body Shop! It also gave a

needed PR boost for The Roddick’s so-called

“philanthropy credentials” for sure and pro-

socialist crap that she, Gordon, and Bird so

much believe in. Such was done not for the

homeless per se, but for the self-promotion

and public glory of The Roddicks and, of

course, always for Bird himself. Such only

helps him bank more dough for himself and

The Big Issue. Sam Woolock was completely

out of her depth among such parasites, I am

sure. Whatever, the women bed down for

the night and it seems Anita was there more

to call attention to her "good" deed than con-

structively helping the homeless on the

streets at a real practical and meaningful

level. It's called "grand standing" or more

bluntly "BS" and Anita Roddick and her

pally pal John Bird, an ex-Trotskyite of

sorts, were conniving masters at that and

at the expense of the homeless, always.

As Promised, Here Below Is The Picture of Muslim

James Caan, Chairman of The Big Issue Foundation,

Offering To Buy Baby Sara During His Recent Visit

To His Native Pakistan. He's Excused Himself By

Saying He Reacted To Emotion, Not To His Offer

To Purchase Baby Sara. Sorry, Mate, You're A

Low-Life Scumbag To Even Think of Making Such

An Offer For A Baby In The First Place. Emotion

or Not! We Don't Go Around Offering To Buy

Babies, Even If YOU DO ... Damn You!!

Please let me now return to Dame Anita Roddick.

All the obits in the British press at her death was

uncritically praiseworthy for the dead dame.

Except one John Entine of The Daily Mail.

Even before they had entombed the dame

at her Jewish burial spot, John Entine blew

away all the praise of all those other nice

obits about Anita. He didn't hesitate to tell

us about the real Lady Roddick and her long

history of being first and foremost a natural

liar during her multimillionaire business life.

g

She was the only knighted dame of The Big
Issue was she. Her fame or infamy rests upon
her business craftiness called The Body Shop with
her hubby Gordon Roddick, who is still alive as the

co-founder of The Big Issue in 1991 with the

now big nobody and big ass John Bird.
.
The Roddicks were in fact the “sugar babies”
behind John Bird who soon reduced his Commie
revolutionary rhetoric from his prison days to

gobble up the freebie money given him from

them. Such money also soon corrupted him into

becoming a greedy corporate animal and not the

political Commie that he once aspired to be. He

became, instead, a pinstriped-suit Champagne

Socialist that he is today. Yes sir, John Bird soon

figured on what side his bread was buttered on.

And The Roddicks for years kept dishing out plenty

of good Irish–made butter for him to go along with

Bird's working class Anglo-Irish background

and rough London Paddington upbringing.

c
Paul O'Grady Says: "F**K THE "PIG" ISSUE.

g

The Daily Mail's John Entine went for Anita's jugular

vein like she was still alive, though now dead, and told

everybody that the dame was a little lady who started

out in the 1970's at Brighton, a seaside town of many

gays on the coast of the English Channel by selling body

lotions she'd found by good chance at San Francisco

and then shipped such to England after re-

branding the stock as her own lotions, which they

were not! Ethical business practices aside, Anita

Roddick ruled the roost at gay Brighton with her

first copycat store called The Body Shop that

would eventually span the globe and make

her a multimillionaress and business icon

within a couple of decades with her branded

posh lotions and all that she’d originally found at

San Francisco’s "Body Shop" which she copied

without the consent, knowledge and/or business

agreement of the Californian sisters who had created

such body lotions and scented soaps in the first place.

All Anita Rodderick did was to re-label their invention

and then claim it as her own by using their American

business name called "The Body Shop" in the UK. The

name "Body Shop" was a play on the name that in Am-

erica means a place where damaged or wreaked cars

can be taken to have car body repairs undertaken.

c

According to Entine, "Anita went on a buying binge

at The Body Shop store on Union Square in San Francisco.

She walked out with armfuls of hand-cut soaps, lotions and

cosmetics - and a fist full of brochures. Roddick's copycat

shop, opened six years later in UK, knocked off everything

from the (American) business name to the green colour

scheme to the cosmetic lines."

g
The original US Body Shop brochure noted: "All of our

products are Biodegradable & made to our specifications

(Bottles 20 cents or bring your own)." Anita's version read:

"All our products are biologically soft and made to our

specifications (Bottles 12p, or bring your own)." The original

offered Four O'clock. Astringent Lotion; Anita sold Five

O'clock Astringent Lotion. A particularly telling knock-off

was a still popular facial scrub made from ground adzuki

beans that the UK Body Shop called Japanese Washing

Grains. Anita bragged that she came up with the

idea for it during a sojourn in Asia. Entine didn't

mince his words much like I myself always do, too.

c
"Natural liar: Anita's products rarely lived up to the image

she promoted Charitable giving? While The Body Shop was

issuing "fact sheets" claiming it "donates an inordinately high

percentage of pre-tax profits to often controversial charitable

campaigns", I contacted the English Charity Commission.
What I discovered made me almost fall off my chair. Over

the first 11 years of its business, The Body Shop made zero

charitable contributions - not one penny," noted John Entine.

So where does The Big Issue's John Bird fit

into all of this Anita Roddick dirty saga? That's

another story I'm working on right now.

What is certain, however, is that Bird himself

would not be the egoistical and bloated bloke

that he is today had Anita and Gordon

Roddick not hooked up with him when they

did. Or the other way around. For all we know,

John Bird would still be in prison scrubbing cell

block floors or sleeping rough under the bridges

of London without The Roddicks. While his little

asinine brother Pete Bird would probably be work-

ing in a steel factory rallying the labour troops

to strike against today's coalition government

instead of waltzing about every day at The Big

Issue HQ as the little honcho that he really is ...

g

Yes, the little peanut brother Peter Bird -

who callously and cruelly took away my

five year Big Issue pitch back in May -

is included in the story as one that was seen

but not heard by Dame Anita, who I am told

didn't care much about slimey Pete. Nor did

her hubby Gordon Roddick. When I next see

Peter Bird, I'd like to ask him if it true what I

was told about him and The Roddicks. Doubt

the sod will tell me for fear I'll report what he

says on my megablog ... He's really another

skunk just like is his big brother John!

c

One thing I've learned by writing this

storyline of mine called "Anita Roddick:

Damn The Dead Dame" is more about the

pathology and psyche of John Bird himself

and his relationship with Anita and Gordon.

Also telling was Bird's overkill in his obit

about Anita's death on the front cover and

the inside spread of The Big Issue. It was

written as if he'd expected she'd remembered

him in her own will and thus more Roddick

money for him and the infernal Big Issue of

his. I hope she didn't leave him one red cent!

g

I am, by the way, also writing an

unauthorized bio about John Bird

himself and the troubled history of The Big

Issue to conincide with its 20th Anniversay

next year. If you have known him during

the past 2o years or before that, please con-

tact me so that I can interview you either

on or off the record. I seek those who have

worked for him and The Big Issue, those

who know him as a friend or neighbour

or business ally or foe; those who have

been subjected to his bullying and high-

handedness; and those who know his

peanut brother Peter Bird at any point.

Please contact me confidentially at

thebiggerissue@k.st. Thank you!!

Anita Roddick, who I suspect has soon been

forgotten by many after her 2007 death. The location

of her grave site is now a secret, too, and is not listed at

"Find A Grave." A short memorial piece is included there:
