The way Chomsky supported Epstein is an absolute disgrace.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face
This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.
