This ghastly person and his gang seem to be everywhere in the news.
It's utterly depressing.

the photo's were taken to blackmail.

There were rumours some time ago that that might be the case, but no evidence has so far come to light to support that theory as far as I’ve heard. In any case, you can only be blackmailed if you have done something you are ashamed of, surely.

Every time they say "Epsteeen" I have to say "Epstine" like wot I was taught at school!

Me too!
The Beatles’ manager was Brian ‘Epstine’ wasn’t he?

Maybe the pronunciation in the US was intended to make it sound less German, probably dating from WW 1 or 2.

Too dim as is Andrew M Windsor. These over privileged high society types have much in common with the characters in Shameless.

That’s a bit mean to the characters in Shambles 😂

Most people could live very well on the settlement she received from the Royal Family, plus her earnings from book dosage, Weightwatchers etc

Book dosage….Eating her words?

Too late and she’s too dim!

Clinton behaved in a predatory way whilst president, he is not known for being truthful about his sexual behaviour.

He was very attractive though. I quite fancied him!

Despite his alleged rape of a colleague, serial infidelity and exploitation of a young intern?
Ok 🙈

Thanks Petra. It’s hard to keep up. Maybe we have an indication of how Epstein made himself filthy rich - by seducing other greedy Machiavellian characters with access to power and secrets

Now we know why £75,000 appeared in his boyfriend’s bank account. That would be the £75,000 that was called a loan

I would think there are a people looking closely at the scandal when he was an eu trade minister.
He lifted tariffs on Russian Aluminium. He just so happened that the owner of the largest Aluminium company in Russia was a close friend.

The pictures of a woman lying on the floor with Andrew M.W kneeling down over her were sickening.
Yes she was fully clothed and, as we keep being told, he has strenuously denied any wrongdoing, but the pictures tell a different story.

That is a weird picture. It looks as if he was practising CPR.

With his hand on her stomach 🤷‍♀️

It gets even worse but unsurprising. Mandelson is alleged to have passed confidential government information to Epstein relating to banking.
Gordon Brown was PM at the time and is reported to be furious and demanding investigation.

Is this criminal activity by Mandelson

According to a woman who was at that cabinet meeting, yes, it is criminal activity. It’s misconduct in public office.
According to reports the information that Epstein needed to pass onto his banker puppet masters was delivered 4 minutes later ( after the cabinet meeting)

What we should be incensed about is that two prominent men .one in guvernment and the other in the monarchy abused their position to their own advantage plus Mrs York ..all troughing … the sex is not the main issue any more..sex and power and money — that triangle will usually end badly ..

But follow the money - who WAS he working for?

Victims are now calling for the files to be completely taken down because they did not redact victim information. But they DID redact possible suspect information. angry

I’d advise anybody who wants up to the minute details of their involvement to follow Sky News. They have people crawling through the mountain of evidence and are releasing email extracts.

Apparently also a lot more images have been released, including pornographic videos, which fortunately they are going to spare us.

Anniebach Mon 02-Feb-26 16:43:26

What is the different story JenniferEccles ?

So much ‘sources close to’, surely Lownie knows the motto “never complain, never explain “ . Sarah has given many interviews and written several books
