    I think the network of connections is still significant even if there’s no evidence he was raping kids. Epstein to Bannon to Farage and Tommy Robinson: there’s money from all over the world concentrated through these people into undermining the UK and other democracies.

      @floofloof @FishFace the Quiet Riot podcast was discussing their utter consternation (surprise is the wrong word) that in the same year Starmer couldn’t accept so much as a pair of trousers from a donor, and Reeves and Rayner were being leapt on for everything, Farage has accepted a £9m crypto donation (90% of Reform’s funding for the year) and nobody has pushed him on what influence that has bought, or what went on with Nathan Gill and the Russian bribes.

      To me it comes down to how often. Sure maybe you went to a party before anyone knew about this guy once or even went to his island or something when he invited you but I find it hard to believe someone went to his island and decided to go back or keep hanging with him or going to his parties. Had to have some wierd vibes there.

      What is there concrete?

      There is BOUND to be dodgy money (quite possibly not illegal money due to the UK’s weak laws in this area) funding farage but just being mentioned alongside these other fucks isn’t evidence of it
