really funny that even after the epstein file release people like this still don't realise their whole point of view was just a psy op made by rich paedophiles

Something very “no dude I’m sure this stripper is actually in love with me” about how actors pretend they're in love with their costars to promote their films and we all buy it

There‘s lots of political incidents that still need clear accountability but if the Epstein stuff just gets turned into a stupid meme for zany tik toks and reels and there’s no justice then I feel like it will make people more insane than usual. How can anyone carry on pretending like it’s normal

Really funny to see the British press pretend that all of this Mandelson and Epstein stuff is new when there were people posting pics of them hanging out together over five years ago lol. But that was just quietly ignored because it wasn’t proper journalism apparently
EXCLUSIVE:
Peter Mandelson sought advice from Jeffrey Epstein on setting up his advisory firm, Global Counsel, including how to target potential new clients such as the Chinese government.
