Make no mistake. Even though Mandelson is being scrutinised over loans & govt leaks rather than allegations of child abuse - anyone who helped prop-up Epstein and bolster his reputation by association - is complicit in that international cabal of pedophiles. Don’t lose sight of the victims!

Time for the Blair Scandal to explode in the faces of Starmer and MacSweeney along with Mandelson's heinous criminality. I'm not buying these ludicrous media disclaimers.
Anyway, as you can see from those posts, Tony Blair is ALL over the Epstein files and not just as a casual mention. I only opened a handful of the 263 results.
He's in there like Mandelson.

I've noticed a microgenre shift in SF over the last year - or possibly just in the books I've come across. Specifically, a bit of a boom in big concept space opera books working in the Banks/Hamilton ideaspace. Meaning SF that simultaneously delivers a strong action storyline against a backdrop

So, links to Epstein (even over mystery money transfers) is sufficiently 'embarrassing' to quit a political party (that had enough of him). Does the Lords have a higher threshold? And what about others implicated? Is it yet embarrassing enough to lead to impeachment, say? nb breath not being held

Nazis were Nazis in 1939- and when we describe Trump and his regime as Nazis, it is that they are only in the Kristallnacht period of masked terrorism and confinement of domestic enemies in ghettos and holding cells.
But Trump is accelerating in one year to do more than Hitler did in six years.
