Due to her friendship with Epstein.
The domino effect begins.

Lots of photos in ‘Entitled’.

Ok I think I’ll wait and buy the book at the suprrmarkrt discount

Me too Iam I like the photos in a book to complement the detail and on a kindle they’re just grey mesh.

I'm listening to it on Audible, of course no pictures, damn! I did think of ordering it from the library but imagine the queue is a long one. Too mean to buy it I've taken to listening to a chapter or two out loud on my phone at bedtime because OH is prone to say "lets listen to some of the Andy and Fergie shenanigans" but he falls asleep way before me, so is constantly asking to go back to the bits he's missed the next night. I'm never going to finish it at this rate, on a constant re occurring loop, enough to give one nightmares shock

I got it from the library - it was supposed to be a 10 week wait when I first put a hold on it but I got it in about 4 (that's an e-book, not a physical book).

Good to hear technology is helping anniebach. I’ve noticed your posts are shorter than in the past and I’d wondered about your hands. I’ve had RA and its companion osteoarthritis, now osteopina for many years. I hope your pain is controlled as well as possible

Thank you Iam. I recommend the book , I didn’t expect to be quite shocked by the greed .

I have doubts that victims will have justice, too late .

Sarah Ferguson, criticised on here, and punished in the offline word, losing her patronages, for her friendship with Epstein.

Peter Mandelson, criticised and punished for the same reason, by losing that fabulous position in Washington.

Prince Andrew, criticised and punished, same reason plus, losing his Royal status.

Donald Trump, actually praised on some threads, to the extent that some GNs say he would be good for us as he 'gets things done.
Join me in hoping that for him also, the domino effect begins.

Maremia, I’m with you in hoping but I’m not convinced the Donald will be exposed as having ‘enjoyed ‘ Epstein’s special massages. I’m surprised, then not surprised that Bill Clinton hasn’t been identified rather than simply named as having visited the island

These rich powerful men share each others secrets. The security services across the world know so much and use it to their advantage.
