Apart from helping Israel slaughter more kids, making existence harder for the poorest, sickest, & most vulnerable, & flogging off our data to Thiel, & our NHS to American health 'care' companies,

Just a few million quid in the bank, & an introduction to Epstein, & he could be working for the government instead
