    Let’s have a show of hands: who expected one of the worst men on the planet to also be a pedo? Oh, all of you? Makes sense.

      If you read the article he doesn’t seem to have been involved with the rape/trafficking, just right political connections

        Seems like he might’ve been interested:

        Farage observed that if he’d been of a different generation, he too would have probably come into contact with Epstein. “Had I been 10 years older, I would have done, because they were the circles … ”

          I assume you don’t really think this quote is Farage accidentally letting slip that he’d quite like to have been in on the child rape, but I’m struggling to see what your point is otherwise.

      It’s more about the fact that he’s prepared to go along with it to further his own aspirations then he’s necessarily into it himself. Not that that’s much of a improvement.

      Throwing other people under the bus for his own betterment is 100% on brand for him. Is absolutely able to turn a blind eye to the most appalling abuse if he thinks it’ll further his objectives. It’s the same reason people think he took Russian money, because obviously the Russians would have approached him and he’s incredibly selfish and greedy so he would have taken the money if offered.
