The Sun Meets White Power Raoul Moat Fan Teresa Bystram – One Of Its Own
RAOUL Moat’s funeral was not the last you will hear of Raoul Moat because the Sun leads with news that his send off was a “better day out for the kids than Legoland” for Moat Maniac Teresa Bystram.
The sun is just getting to realise who its readers are. And it is shocked.
Anorak agrees with Bystram. Legoland is OK if you’re into plastic action figures and bricks but going there doesn’t get you into the papers, unless while there you shoot someone in the face.
But this is not about theme parks. This story is based on another chance to see the famous Teresa Bystram, formerly Theresa Bystram (all papers), who pulled on her Chelsea FC kit (blue – this was a funeral after all) and took three of her brood to see Moaty off to that big club door in the sky.
The Sun calls Teresa and her kids “weird”. The Sun, which went to Newcastle to watch a nutter get cremated and then took a photo of a woman in a Chelsea kit and stuck her on the front page, says Bystram is 53 and “warped”.
Bystram has, we are told, a swastika tattoo and another advocating the joys of “white power”. She says Moat was a “good role model” for her kids. And we get to see Joe, 15, Jed, 14, and Jess, 13, sat on a bench studying footwear and denim like trainee doormen.
Says she:
“It was a nice day out for my kids. You know what it’s like in the school holidays, trying to keep the kids entertained and stop them from getting bored.”
It’s ruddy murder, Teresa. We hear you. But thankfully, sometimes there is something good on the telly. As she says:
“I was glued to the TV the whole time they were chasing him.”
The Sun labels her as odd. This is the Sun that broadcast a video of Moat’s last moments on its website and comes from the same stable as Sky News, which peppered its breathless reports on Moat on the run with live TV updates of police cars and guns. Once we saw a newscaster holding a big rifle and showing us that this is the kind of tool the coppers might just shoot Moat in the face with.
Teresa Bystram is “weird”, says the Sun. Maybe. But we can be more certain that Teresa Bystram is the ideal Sky News viewer. Yes, dear Sun, Teresa Bystram, is one of your customers…

You’ve missed out the other element of the The Sun’s story. In that they are trying to make out she’s a benefit cheat. Apparently she is on the equivalent of £40,000 a year and has a £330,000 detached house: all paid for by the state and has never done a days work in her life!! Sure she’s a weirdo who went to a nutters funeral, but for the Sun i think her amount of state benefits that is the real shocking crime.

She’ll have sky plus HD in every room in the house I’d imagine. Do we know how many fathers there are to her brood?

If you ever got to write for The Sun, you’d be told that you have to write copy for people with the mental age of 11. The paper knows exactly who its readers are, which makes it all the more odd when they seem outraged – while also being the voice of those very people.
I suppose it’s down to the fact that these people, and indeed many others, are complete and utter hypocrites. In that regard, the paper has got it spot on.

After eight kids it’s bound to be a bit ‘roomy’. Why do you ask??

Do you think she’s got a Sky box?

Teresa is a very fine example of the “master race”, living off benefits partially paid for by hard working immigrants who probably struggle to make ends meet while she almost certainly lives in relative luxury with her kids the likes of whom keep me in well paid employment. I feel for her kids, I really do. What hope do they have with such a low life piece of trash for a parent?
