When survivors reacted to this so-called Epstein Files transparency, they didn’t sound shocked. They sounded validated.
Because even with a law, even with a deadline, even with the entire country watching, this pedocracy behaved exactly the way it always has.

Every horror we're seeing in Trump's America will take root in the UK if Farage becomes PM. From racist oppression to blatant corruption to anti-vaxxing to Christian nationalism to support for Russia to hostility towards on Europe ... It will all be used by Farage to divide and rule us.

I do think that if the main public health message from the authorities to the population is get the flu vaccine then the flu vaccine should be free and readily available for all. That’s not the case at the moment.

Appeals against deportation on human rights grounds are vanishingly rare - less than one per cent of foreign national offenders remain in the UK on human rights grounds. So changing how the Convention is interpreted won’t make a material difference to migration figures
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to. It’s a slippery slope to oblivion youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...
The government won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite

Not that they will ignore it. They'll tear themselves to pieces over it, because that's what they're like.
But under no circumstances should they settle. They should fight, and keep him tied up in court until his arteries turn into ragu. It's a matter of principle.

I'm not lawyer, but if I understand the law correctly, Trump would need to show the BBC damaged his reputation, and/or harmed him.
I'm not sure how his reputation could be lower, given that he was indicted on 34 counts. And he won an election AFTER Panorama.
