Right, so we’re supposed to believe both that Mandelson couldn’t afford his osteopath, so had to ask Epstein for money, & that he was so rich that gifts of $75,000 were simply beneath his notice. He’s a liar. A corrupt, repugnant, liar.
Mandelson earlier said he had no recollection of receiving 75 thousand dollars from Epstein, after documents appear to show those payments. If that is confirmed, we might expect that his resignation from the Lords may follow quite imminently

Jeffrey Epstein sent $75,000 to Lord Mandelson linked accounts, documents appear to show
Lord Mandelson says he has no record or recollection of receiving the sums and does not know if the documents are authentic.

I'm reading The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington. I've not really explored the surrealist movement in depth but I feel this is a good introduction. It's certainly surreal!

I hate how Richard is trying to make it seem like Bunny had it coming. Like somehow he deserved it. I think if I'd found out my friends had killed a man in some kind of pseudo-intellectual ritual, I'd probably be freaking out at them as well
