Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files.

The panic isn’t about the files.
It’s about the public finally getting to see them.

Yup. One day I hope averice and greed behaviour like his (and many others with dumb sticks) will be seen as socially dysfunctional.

Sometimes it feels like all the good historical #dataviz has already been dug up & dissected β€” which is why it’s so refreshing to have Attila excavating and sharing so many new (old) graphics.

Where did Peter Mandelson get the money to afford a big house in Camden, another one in Wiltshire and enough change to pay one of the most expensive legal firms in the UK to act on his recent fit of hubris about not fleeing to the BVI. That's what I'd like to know.

The BIGGER issue with the Epstein files is the international collusion going on between the likes of Epstein, Mandelson, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, JP Morgan, financiers, the British establishment, Russian oligarchs, Israeli, European politicians, Gulf States ... anybody else?

Is this a data architecture issue? In which case why are we handing over so much of it to dubious organisations like Palantir, I ask myself.

Mandelson being arrested by the police is great news, but the list of those who could be charged for misconduct in public office is a long one. We should be just getting started.

In completely unconnected news cough Boris Johnson cough.

I guess bombing Iran would make a good distraction from the Epstein files.

The misogyny, lies, grifting and naked self-interest of Reform UK, a privately owned political party with an unelected’leader’ should all be kicked to the kerb very hard.

The most butt clenchingly embarrassing thing in this clip is the pathetic, sycophantic toadies who clap his refusal to answer the question and then laugh when he tells her to β€˜go and write some silly story’. Farage is a liar and a charlatan who can’t stand any scrutiny whatsoever.
