This post is a continuation of some comments I left on this pizzagate post James Alefantis, Maccoby, Cafritz, NXIVM connections and much more by @Heisenberg123 viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2056&start=30 , excerpts:
Pizza Express was owned by the Gondola Group at the time of its sale in 2014.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hony_Capital
Coincidentally, that's when the Hampstead case broke.Through its subsidiary Hony Capital, Legend acquired PizzaExpress for US$1.54 billion from private equity fund Cinven in 2014.
So looking into the directors of the company around that time: https://find-and-update.company-informa ... ory?page=3
The man who rehabilitated Ronald McDonald https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... .mcdonalds17 Sep 2012 Termination of appointment of Stephen Easterbrook as a director
Another Hampstead coincidence.. the article goes on to list his interests..In 1978 the 11-year-old Steve Easterbrook was at Watford grammar school for boys. During the holidays he could be found loafing around the nearest parade of shops, kicking his heels. "Me and my mate used to go across the park, jump on the Met line to get the tube into Harrow. There was a sports shop we always used to go into, and there was a McDonald's." Like Easterbrook, McDonald's UK was then a comparative fledgling, just four years old. "We used to go off with three or four quid in our pocket. That would cover our train fare, mooching around Harrow, and going to McDonald's. It was the first time I had shakes and fries."
Today, Easterbrook is nine miles down the road at McDonald's unassuming head office in East Finchley and finds himself at the helm of Britain's biggest restaurant chain, with 1,200 outlets, 17,000 farm suppliers and an estimated £35m marketing budget. ..
You mean THIS Watford FC ? https://files.catbox.moe/jfka3h.jpg Elton John and Robert Maxwell have both been managers of the club.. and it was involved in a pedophile scandal in the UK dubbed Pizzagate. Just another coincidence, of course.Chairs the CBI's education and training committee and sits on the CBI's chairmen's committee. He is also a representative on the Prince's Rainforest Project. Fan of Watford Football Club
