@stux Is the UK doing something because they didn't know about Epstein connections before (which I would find very hard to believe) or are they now removing these people because its politically embarrassing that the information has been made public (and previously knew about it but chose to ignore it)?

I've been through two vettings and they are rightfully tough, did Mandelson? Why would someone with a dodgy past actually become UK Ambassador to the US?

@stux they are handling it better but then again the Jimmy Saville ordeal kinda implies they’re happy to sweep things under the rug if it’s possible.

The real test will be when the democrats are in power. Trump and his goons will never go after Trump. If they drop it, they’re a lost cause

@stux while the Nazis in charge are scurrying to protect themselves right now, the Epstein Files were known to the previous administration as well, who did nothing with the information. I am certain there are wealthy Democrats who should be heading to prison, as well.

And this the result of just one pimp / enslaver. Surely there are others, some state-sponsored in authoritarian regimes. Burn them all down.

@stux Understand that the _crown_ isn't the _government._ The _crown_ stripped Andrew of his statuses. That's _all they can do_. Keir Starmer is busy letting NHS make war on transfolk and disabled people... this is Not Okay.

The US government is absolutely a sad, fascist, seventeen-ring circus of goons... but I can't really give the UK any credit for being much better. I mean, they're not dragging people out of their homes... yet.... but that's an awfully low bar.

@stux

Let us all be clear here with the fascist protectors and collaborators in the US Federal government: *serving* GOP/MAGA politicians...... in the house, the senate, the cabinet, and the Supreme Court.
