Right, ok.. thanks

Ah, I see

Maybe it feels like someone else is doing it?

precisely. they're attacking me and mine. the least they can do is give me my fucking money back.

*I'm joking, we know what's going on

I'm going to delete the above message now, it was basically just a thank-you x

Apologies, I don't know you, didn't mean to compare you to someone else, just trying to convey my own confusion

Oh I've made him sound really bad; he's actually popular, great guy, lot of friends, big deal in his field, specified the women were "like 19" and one of them was a stripper. Not a sleaze himself, just insisted child sex trafficking rings were *absolutely not a thing* and I couldn't work out why

Yeh that's it, you got it exactly.

Just to be clear, that line about smoke and fire was me satirising him, not something he actually said.

And I'm not naming anyone because that particular rich guy was most likely NOT a paedophile, how the fuck would I know?

The ONLY person I've ever met who insisted confidently that there were no powerful paedophile networks ALSO told me with a huge smile about his rich friend who hosted parties where he didn't know how young the women were or where the rich friend found them. "There's no fire, I've seen the smoke 😁"

I'm glad you said this because I find it astonishing that anyone would deny the existence of networks of sexual predators amongst the rich and powerful. Say it was "rational" for "people in the know" to deny something so obvious.

You could arrive in the UK single, and after 20 years be a GRANDPARENT (it's possible!) and then be told to leave. Fuck this policy
