After a well publicised split (1) with school teacher Mary Brett we’d hoped that her incessant ego and dishonest diatribe might have quietened down. Alas it was not to be.

Debra finally got a book published, which is due for release next year. Desperate to wring every last penny from her son’s personal problems she’s been signed up by Hammersmith Press (2), a flaky operation who claim to be medical publishers but run a sideline in unscientific drivel. Which we suppose should suit Debra rather well.

Not content with that, but Debra is now offering consultations to families of problem drug users (3). For a mere hundred quid (you heard that right) you can have a “coaching, support and information session” from an untrained, unqualified nutjob.

What’s more, her son William is now looking to cash in as well. William Bell is offering telephone consultations, once again for a cool hundred quid.

Now we’d always felt a bit sorry for poor old William. Having his personal life splashed over the newspapers in furtherance of his mother’s desperate attempt to carve out a career for herself cannot have been pleasant.

But our sympathy has faded. Basically a kid who smoked a few spliffs (and the rest) charging vulnerable families a hundred quid for a fucking phone call is pure shysterism.

Which is why we’ve decided to reveal that William Bell is in fact Oliver Woodbridge. He’s got a facebook page (4) and everything, where he lists his interests as “sleeping, smoking, singing, playin football, bein tall (an effort btw), sexing, hexing, vexing,”.

Up there's a picture of him, he’s the one on the left next to the bloke with a spliff in his hand.

update: Yes, Debra Woodbridge is her real name, should have mentioned that

As for the criminal lawyer hubby, well it’s probably not in the public interest to name him, although a quick scan of TAC’s petition (5) may prove fruitful :)

they really ain’t the sharpest tools the Woodbridges
