With all that’s going on in the world, I thought I’d cheer myself up with a good book. ‘A possible Life’ by Sebastian Faulks. Wonderful and gifted Author. Tough book though.

I’ll tell you what a good idea.
I started war but can’t win it. All to divert attention from the Epstein Files.
That didn’t work.
I started a trade war with ally.
I got my crayons renamed a lake.
There was hardly any reputation to trash but I managed
I’ll trash NATO!
Erm Epstein.

Here’s a question.
Now that the US has stepped down from the concept of world leadership ( not that that really was a thing) which countries are now the ones we all look to?
Canada? Spain? Germany?
Is part of the problem that we don’t yet know?

Can anyone remind me of how many times the US has won the war against Iran? I’m losing count.
Also, why is petrol so expensive and who is making money out of it?
Sorry to disturb.

In another time the US 259th anniversary would have been a time for reflection and redetermination of the goals and values.
And Nazis walk freely though Washington…
And Trump just says whatever comes into his head.

At least 10 people were wounded today in a shooting at the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge. This comes just days after eight young kids were killed in another mass shooting in the state.
Our communities don’t even have time to grieve between tragedies.

If the king is actually going to the USA, the least he can do is meet the Epstein victims to show his support for them.

Key figure in Mandelson vetting scandal will not give evidence before MPs
Key figure in Mandelson vetting scandal will not give evidence before MPs
Chief property and security officer Ian Collard set to submit written answers to foreign affairs committee questions
A key figure in the row over Peter Mandelson’s appointment as UK ambassador to Washington will not appear before a parliamentary committee of MPs to give evidence.
Dame Emily Thornberry had requested that Ian Collard speak to the foreign affairs committee (FAC) on Tuesday, but confirmed on Saturday that he would submit written answers instead.
Whether he felt under pressure to deliver Lord Mandelson’s clearance, after Sir Olly said there was an “atmosphere of pressure” and “constant chasing” from Downing Street.
Whether he had seen the cover form for Lord Mandelson’s vetting by UK Security Vetting (UKSV), the agency responsible for checks on candidates for sensitive posts, in which it had ticked two red boxes – meaning they had “high concern” and recommended “clearance denied or withdrawn”.
If he was asked by anyone in the Foreign Office, Downing Street or the Cabinet Office for advice about whether Lord Mandelson required vetting for the post given he was a member of the House of Lords.
If he advised on how Lord Mandelson should be treated during the period between his appointment being announced and his clearance coming through. Continue reading...

So I’m confused. The Straits of Hormuz were open. There was a deal in place with Iran. Then Trump started a war. Now the Straits are open. There’s a tariff.
How is that better? And what about the dead and wounded on all sides? And Trump is now Jesus and the Pope is the enemy? WTF?

Does it still make a difference to mention the Epstein victims and their need for justice. All perps to pay. . Without fear or favour? If not why not? What does that say about you?

I read US people assuming that Europeans hate you. I’m in the UK. I don’t hate you. I hate the way you allowed your values to be replaced by hate, misogyny and racism. Trump
lacks class and respect. But the vast majority remain similar to us. He’s an embarrassment but he doesn’t speak for all. X

Just imagine what must be in the Epstein files if starting a war is preferable to complying to a court order.
Apparently there is nothing to hide.
A lot of people are dead, including girls at a school and US service personnel.
Who are they protecting ? Must have a few quid!

What’s the best way to distract attention from the determination not to release the Epstein files?
Start a war!! You know, the sort of war that he said that Obama would start……
Big up to the Nobel committee for their judgement. Got that one right!

Having watched the US Supreme Court decision, and then the orange one’s rant, what was the outcome? Couldn’t work anything out, other than he doesn’t want to be questioned by CNN.

Can we all hope that the start of countries acting on the outcomes of the Epstein files is just the beginning of justice for victims over the years. How many men are secretly thinking ‘oh…. this means me!’
No arrests in the US yet. No charges (yet against Andrew MB)
Hope the rest squirm.
