They had to get rid of the ones who might speak. And smut films were made.

This thing is so fucking deep.

It's disgusting that so many women were killed or suffer for their entire lives, so their sick AF attackers can live lives of luxury and fame.

Keep pushing hard for the remaining files.

He asks congress to cease having 2 tiers of justice & finally hold the Epstein class accountable for crimes.

So aside from tipping tens of millions of people into misery and penury, they also encouraged people to rise up against their horrible government then cheered them on while they got mowed down. And are bragging about this openly, on camera.

IFS reports that 'teaching spend at universities has declined 22 per cent in real terms since a peak just after fees were raised in 2012-2013, falling by about £2,700 per student to £9,900 in 2024-25 – with much of the state spending taking the form of repayable loans to students.' 1/3
Spend on university teaching falls by a fifth since 2012

More and more, Trump says "NATO" as a "they", not a "we".

And #R4Today doesn't notice, and never comments on his continuing mental decline.

Both Rayner and Burnham are correct. One of the oddest features of this government is its willingness to bend the knee to wealthy investors and landowners.

Netherlands should join and offer to host the first meeting at the exclusive, famous, gilded and very luxurious palace called "The Hague".
So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.

Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

The only Epstein controversy is the president of the United States won’t release the Epstein files because he raped children.

Keir Starmer on Nadhim Zahawi's defection to Reform UK:

Steve Baker prominently displayed the Vote Leave pledge to "give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week" on his website during the referendum campaign.

It was actually £161m. He knew this but promoted the Brexit Bus lie anyway.

Lest we forget...

Steve Baker was linked to a group that channeled £435,000 to the DUP, to promote Vote Leave in the final weeks of the Brexit campaign, at a time when NI donations could be anonymous for security reasons. (July 2017)
