Peter Mandelson using his contacts in the Murdoch Press to try to convince us plebs that he doesn't hang around with International Paedophiles and give them state secrets.

the problem with this newfound “bursary” argument aired in the Times is
this:
twhen we first heard about these payments in September a person close
to Mandelson said it couldn't possibly be the case and, er, threatened to
sue us

Mandelson continues to dispute several of the

allegations. He accepts that his husband took

‘money from Epstein — whom he likens to

“bubonic plague” — to fund an osteopathy

course. Why accept it? “Epstein told Reinaldo

that he had an educational foundation which

gave bursaries or scholarships and offered one

for an osteopathy course. I saw this as

kindness, nothing more. It was a great help to

Reinaldo and I thanked him.”

And now? “In retrospect, it was clearly a lapse

in our collective judgment for Reinaldo to

accept this offer. At the time it was nota

consequential decision.” There is no suggestion

of any wrongdoing by Reinaldo.

Hey Fox News! @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Where is your headline reporting about the sickening #Epstein files? #Trump being an Israeli asset, and the lack of ALL information? Or is #RupertMurdoch in the files? #FoxNews

As #RupertMurdoch launches the #ICE cheerleading #RWNJ #CaliforniaPost website, it might be a prescient time read this classic essay reprinted by Brookings Institute:
"This is how #fascism comes to #America "

This is how fascism comes to America | Brookings

The phenomenon Donald Trump has created has become something larger than him, and something far more dangerous. This phenomenon has arisen in other democratic and quasi-democratic countries over the past century, and it has generally been called “fascism.”

Owen Jones @owenjones.bsky.social · 18d

The Times cheered on Israel's genocide.

And now they're using the apocalyptic consequences to sell copies.

Absolutely nauseating.

@0ut0fmany0ne.bsky.social

The same forces at work in US and UK. Claiming cities are dangerous when they are not. Us vs them, rural vs urban. Anti-immigrant, anti-Europe.

#RupertMurdoch and his Propaganda News empire has done more to destroy Democracy than any single person other than Putin. Bad news sells.

While so-called 'patriots' do everything they can to talk down the capital, a majority of people who actually live in London say they feel safe in the city 🤷‍♂️
