I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.
The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.
The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.
The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

Shouldn't the BBC do what Trump does? Ignore or deny the charge. Defend itself with crappy lawyers.If prosecuted, don't pay any fine and appeal ad nauseam until it goes to the SC.
He'll probably be dead, or in prison himself by the time most of this happens.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Breakingviews - US stablecoin power-play could epically backfire
The White House may hope that the $300 bln dollar-backed crypto market will entrench the greenback, ease deficits and enable lower rates. Yet history suggests other states will cling to monetary sovereignty – and may even push for a supranational currency to ensure independence.

Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost.
After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions.
She's dirty AF, just like her boss.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

To all those asserting 'but how much worse would things be without BBC News'...
In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.
What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.
