writing a piece on this tomorrow but I think the bland truth is that a lot of people just don't care! saw it in Westminster too, fundamentally a lot of men - and some women - simply don't really give a shit if a man is said to be a sexual abuser, as long as they don't have to see if they don't care
One of the more upsetting things in this is that he wasn't blackmailing them: These men were part of this and protecting him not out of obligation or even particularly out of access, but out of solidarity.
Lots of people say: that’s because he’s blackmailing them, but I don’t think he’s blackmailing Kathy Ruemmler! I don’t think that’s what explains it.

This is interesting, because somebody else close to this crime was Jeffrey Epstein, who confessed to paedophilia and was convicted for it.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The diaries of Victor Klemperer, a Jewish scholar married to a non-Jew in Nazi Germany, wrote extensive diaries covering his life from 1933-1945. I'm going to pull excerpts from the diaries from the same date, starting in 1933. (We'll see how long I can keep this up.)

When groundwater levels drop, sluices on the Avon are opened to increase the levels to a stable 1.2-1.5m.
Unfortunately, the more frequent droughts make it more difficult to keep the groundwater levels up, with the sandy soil risking to dry out.

The groundwater level is only about 1.20m under the ground floor and groundwater flooding has happened in the past.
The continuously wet sand on which the massive Cathedral is built actually forms a stable underground for the 6500 tonnes heavy structure.
