I was 15 when it happened .
I was so traumatized I had to drop out of 10th grade halfway through the year. I finished HS through the mail while I spent my days in intensive outpatient therapy.
I am 42 now & hardly a day goes by I don’t think about it.

So no, it’s not ok to rape 15yr olds. #MeToo

When GB News, the Telegraph, the Mail etc claim how pro-British they are, just remember they’re pushing for the BBC to pay billions of British license fee payers’ money - the money that funds Strictly, Traitors etc - to a corrupt, dishonest millionaire narcissist in the USA. Patriots one and all.

Far too often, Donald Trump and other elites find a way to avoid accountability.

Will the Epstein files finally change that?

Which current MP is this?

They were involved in helping to get people from within the media prosecuted for the phone hacking scandal.

They also gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry in to press ethic that was critical of the media & suggested issues were more widespread than people believed.

I don't think this will actually happen. But if it does, the UK should simply start subjecting the actions of US-owned social media platforms in this country to British law. Incitement, defamation, intellectual property.
Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Is Trump doing the BBC a favour?

I'm a long time critic of BBC but I sense that we licence payers (and others, though I doubt Reform UK Ltd are) are putting our support behind our public broadcaster against the US authoritarian president.

Given how hard they are working to cover up the truth about Epstein, it's almost as if he would do anything to keep the truth hidden. Anything like murder...am I right?
