The Sky news reporting on Mandleson whose partner takes money from Epstein and then Epstein lobbies for a change of govt. policy on banker bonuses. Mandelson seemingly trying to get changes to the govt policy.
Really makes you wonder just how deceitful our politics is. It really feeds the desire to get shot of the lot of them.
Can only see yet more drift to the extremes in UK politics.
Oh, and that nonce Andrew and Fergie in hock to him, wtaf |  |

It seems exceedingly likely there’s a DOJ coverup. The court order was to release all the Epstein files. The DOJ have not done that and, as you say, the redacting would go beyond what you might expect to protect the identities of the victims (another condition of the court order and also one the DOJ have failed to comply with - so we can add incompetence to the charge sheet as well).
I’m not au fait enough with the info to suspect who they’re protecting, but they’re 100% stalling and seemingly hiding a lot more. |
And not one solitary, morally decent person at the DoJ has been able to stick their head over the parapet and tell the world what is really happening?
Extraordinary levels of control/intimidation if that's the case. |  |

Yes, Trump’s in plenty of pictures so was clearly in that environment and comfortable around the girls. There’s not much else coming out though (from what I’ve seen).
There’s been a peculiar reluctance on this side of the Atlantic to investigate further too, which is a bit odd given that lawyers for the victims maintain that the UK was one of the “centrepieces” of Epstein’s sec trafficking operation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art
It makes you wonder how deep it all goes. |
It probably helps that he keeps suing everyone. |  |

Seems like there are more and more Mandelson bits coming out all the time.
Ive also seen today how Mandelson was recommending a libel lawyer to Epstein, and giving advice to JP Morgan about how the avoid the bankers tax that HIS OWN GOVERNMENT had introduced.
What a scumbag. |  |

With the various suggestions that people were 'disappeared' (notwithstanding the fate that befell Epstein (and possible Giuffre)), are we at all surprised?
There'll be a very compelling reason that Maxwell appears to be keeping schtum, and I'm sure it's not a misguided sense of loyalty to her former partner-in-crime. |  |

Yep. Weren’t Epstein and Maxwell supposed to be control freaks and have surveillance cameras all over his island property. Supposedly they recorded and logged everything that went on and according to survivors they used the film/images to blackmail people. Witnesses have testified the FBI took loads of films from Eapstein’s media control room, yet funnily enough very little of it has surfaced again. Just a few screenshots showing empty rooms. Where are those films and who’s blocking any releases?
And talking of films, it’s funny how there’s a 2-3 minute gap in the CCTV footage outside Epstein’s cell on the night he was killed. Oops, how convenient.
I’m going to need some tin foil if I read any more lol!! This is all out in credible media reports and in court testimonies, but nothing seems to be happening. It’s nuts. |  |

These days, so many people seem to conflate/confuse the *actual* media with social media.
A story gets reported, and whether it goes viral or not is entirely down to us, the people. More often than not, the people who ensure these things go viral are the ones with a vested interest.
It's why crimes committed by immigrants seem so prevalent.
Crime by an immigrant is reported - shared widely by 'those people' and outrage is manufactured - people think it's happening more than it actually is - the media spots a huge spike in viewership/readership figures and makes sure it reports on those crimes in future - 'those people' share it even more...
It's a vicious cycle and we feed it.
The number of times I see people asking on social media, 'why is this story not being reported by the MSM?' and I stick it into Google to find that pretty much every part of the MSM has reported on it. What they really mean, is 'I don't read the MSM, but why have my people on Twitter not shared it?' [Post edited 1 Feb 13:32]

Slightly confused why the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his circle of rich people who appear to have enjoyed very illegal and morally reprehensible things is getting intermingled with immigrants according to your post? |  | | |

I’d heard of some of that. The info about his neck injuries being more consistent with being strangled than hanged has been reported on. And the supposed cameras malfunctions and convenient guards just happening to fall asleep. It sounds like one huge set of rather improbable coincidences, but also that’s how conspiracies start. It sounds as dodgy as fook though doesn’t it. | |

Mandy has always been bent as a 3 bob note. Corrupt, manipulative and a moral sewer. Practically an open secret even before the Epstein stuff started.

He appears to, at least, also have questions to answer about whether he (or a company he controlled with his now husband) bought a flat in Brazil using a somewhat complicated structure set up to avoid tax.

Corruption is endemic in most forms of human activity I think, it's base human nature overriding conscience, but certainly particularly bad in government and big business.
I still call the low level, personal stuff corruption too - stuff like people playing the system whether it be in standing around looking at your phone getting paid public money to do a job on the roads, or cheating the benefit system. It's al the same animal. It all requires listening to your conscience and not being obsessed with money to fix. |  |

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The most galling part is former Prince Andrew's utter contemptuous lies in his interview to Newsnight in 2019. "PTSD means I can't sweat". "I've never met that woman", "I ceased contact with Epstein after his conviction". He looked down on the public from an untouchable height, looked down the camera lens, and lied to us.
Thankfully we've separation of powers in the UK: executive, legislature, and head of state. But one third of that, the head of state, is almost completely unaccountable. Following the appointment of an aristocrat by accident of birth, there is almost zero transparency of the British head of state. No records are available of anything they do or say to our elected leaders, not even after 30 years like with the cabinet (BTW King is only person outside cabinet to receive cabinet minutes within that time). Exempt from FOI. So they're free to secretly lobby the executive (hour per week with PM), decide who is venerated by the award of titles, can veto laws that "affect them" through King's Consent system before they reach parliament, etc. Unlike other constitutional monarchies, the tax-payer lavishly funds the extended British royal family, not just the head and heir.
Since we decide head of state through accident of aristocrat birth, what would have happened if Andrew was older than Charles, first in line, and made king in 2022 instead? Right now, one third of the British system of government, one third of our power would be wielded by a paedophile's bestie and sex trafficking protagonist. Unlike a prince, you can't sack a king if they don't want to go. King Andrew would have been free to refuse his assent of any act of parliament, including one forcing his abdication.
Only sane system of government in a liberal democracy is a republic. I've never understood why, but in the UK, it's only hard-left parties who agree. I dislike pretty much all hard-left policies, so am politically homeless in this regard. I wonder what it is about Sir Kier Starmer, and Sir Ed Davy, who lead the centre-left parties, that makes them pro-Monarchy?

Here's a bit more from the FT article.
Peter Mandelson “leaked a sensitive UK government document to Jeffrey Epstein while he was business secretary that proposed £20bn of asset sales and revealed Labour’s tax policy plans”, the Financial Times is reporting.
"In his story, Jim Pickard says:
The memo, dubbed “Business Issues”, was written on June 13 2009 by Nick Butler, who at the time was special adviser to the then prime minister Gordon Brown.
The confidential document, which was released by the US Department of Justice as part of a tranche of millions of files relating to Epstein, had been sent to British government officials including cabinet secretary Jeremy Heywood.
The memo called for a boost to private sector investment in the wake of the financial crash via tax incentives."
This story led the news on the World at One, and Dan Niedle was on it.
This appears to be the email which can be linked directly to Mandelson.
It appears there are other emails which found their way to Epstein in relation to government discussions at a high level at the time of the financial crash, and circumstantial evidence (eg. the phone used wasn't set to BST) suggests it was Mandelson's who leaked them.
What makes this even worse is that we are talking about a time when both the government and the financial sector were concerned the whole banking system would come crashing down.
I can't think of any more shocking behaviour by a Cabinet Minister ever, assuming (as may well be the case) there is some truth in the matter. [Post edited 2 Feb 13:56]

This from the Guardian.
Catherine MacLeod, a former special adviser to Alistair Darling who is now a Labour peer, has said that it was “awful” to learn that Peter Mandelson was advising banks how lobby against a tax on bonuses being proposed by Darling when he was chancellor.
Referring to the revelation that Mandelson, via Jeffrey Epstein, suggested that it would be good for JPMorgan to “mildly threaten” Darling (see 9.38am), MacLeod told Radio 4’s the World at One:
It is awful that one of Alistair Darling’s colleagues was suggesting this … Quite a lot of important and influential bankers employed whatever tactics they thought would get them somewhere with Alistair Darling.
She also said that revelations about Mandelson leaking internal government information when he was business secretary to Epstein were “absolutely shocking”. (See 12.41pm.) She said that this amounted to “betrayal” and that Mandelson was letting down his colleagues. “There is nothing that can be said in its defence.”
A vast trove of Epstein documents has been released in the US, and reporters are still going through them. One shows Mandelson forwarding a memo written by one special adviser to Gordon Brown, the then PM, to Epstein. There is at least one other example of Epstein having a business-related internal goverment memo from around this time, without it being clear how Epstein obtained it. | | | |

I am currently reading a book called "The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney, and the Crisis of British Democracy".
In it is stated that Morgan McSweeney is a long-term protege of Mandelson. It also states that Mandelson has been quoted as saying of McSweeney. "I don't know who and how and when he was invented, but whoever it was ... they will find their place in heaven."
This would appear to explain reports at the time of Mandelson's resignation as US ambassador that McSweeney pushed for his appointment as ambassador.
https://www.independent.co.uk/
I therefore wonder if some of the fall-out, which undoubtedly will affect Starmer, will also fall on McSweeney, who has proven to be rather Teflon-like so far given all that has gone wrong since Labour came to power.
In this connection, I have just come across this which I haven't yet had a chance to listen to.

A statement from Gordon Brown.
"I have today asked the cabinet secretary to investigate the disclosure of confidential and market sensitive information from the then business department during the global financial crisis.
On September 10 last year, I wrote to the cabinet secretary to ask him to investigate the veracity of information contained in the Epstein papers about the sale of assets arising from the banking collapse and communications about them between Lord Mandelson and Mr Epstein.
That enquiry led to a response on November 19 that no departmental record could be found of any information or communication from Lord Mandelson to Mr Epstein on these issues.
Given the shocking new information that has come to light in the latest tranche of Epstein papers, including information about the transfer to Mr Epstein of at least one highly sensitive government document as well as other highly confidential information, I have now written to ask for a wider and more intensive inquiry to take place into the wholly unacceptable disclosure of government papers and information during the period when the country was battling the global financial crisis.
Given the public interest in this, I have asked that the results of the inquiry be published and done so as soon as possible." | | | |

Given that info could swing share markets and fx prices, and that Epstein worked in the financial markets, surely it's time for the plod to investigate?
Not a legal expert but would think if proven that would be criminal?
Same for Andrew the nonce of mountbatten. | |

It certainly seems to me that there is a case for saying he may well have committed the offence of misconduct in public office, which would apply to a minister.
https://www.cps.gov.uk/prosecu
The offence is triable only on indictment (ie. in the Crown Court), and the maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
The offence is committed when:
a public officer acting as such
wilfully neglects to perform their duty and/or wilfully misconducts themselves
to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust in the office holder
without reasonable excuse or justification
As regards offences relating to market abuse and the like, I must admit I don't know enough about them to comment, but no doubt possible offences may be suggested in the media. [Post edited 2 Feb 17:35]
