...I suppose we'll be seeing a lot of headlines like this in the next few years. The UK is going to do every dumb, self-destructive thing the USA has been doing lately, isn't it?
And Israel. Epstein and Maxwell probably made tapes of a significant fraction of the house of lords.
Every time someone in Europe tries to start some shit about how dumb Americans are for allowing our democracy to crumble, I like to gently remind them that we're all being held hostage by the same people. This isn't a local problem, this is what happens when you give corporations everything they want to control your society.
