One of the things we learned during our High Court case against Reform is its propensity, nakedly and without embarassment, to lie. Only the blissfully naive would take its explanation for this at face value.

So true. Also, many of the Americans doing literally nothing about Epstein’s American ‘associates’ are precisely the ones lying about Europe & particularly the UK being overrun with child-rapists. It’s insane.
This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Israel accepts that it killed 70k people in Palestine, the overwhelming number of them were civilians. Does it still maintain that this was an act of self defence? Palestine has the highest rate of child amputees in the world - is this also part of that self defence?

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.
