We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A prince, an ambassador, senior diplomats, top politicians. All brought down by the Jeffrey Epstein files. And all in Europe, rather than the United States.

The huge trove of Epstein documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice has sent shock waves through Europe’s political, economic and social elites — dominating headlines, ending careers and spurring political and criminal investigations.

Former U.K. Ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson was fired and could go to prison. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a leadership crisis over the Mandelson appointment. Senior figures have fallen in Norway, Sweden and Slovakia. And, even before the latest batch of files, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, lost his honors, princely title and taxpayer-funded mansion.

Or instead of waiting we can all look at the Luigi inside of us

muted = nothing.

We didn't need to release the files to know a lot of the people in them, so of course there would be no cultural shift when we confirm it. The physical evidence may matter in court, but not for public opinion.

Is that what we call a fallout these days? A couple of fall guys here and there and a prince who dug his own hole with that moronic BBC interview and only lost his title? Gtfo

I'm not satisfied at all. I expect governments to fall, people to go to proper prison (not resorts like Gislaine), institutions to change.

I expect revelations about the role of all the intelligence agencies involved and subsequent reforms.

Who was JE working for? Say it out loud for people to hear.

Why was he blackmailing all these people?

How many like him are out there right now doing the same thing?

What decisions were made by all these compromised people?

Why isn't Andrew being tried?

Why is nobody being tried?

Where's the compensation for the victims?

I didn't read the article but if it's supposed to make us feel good that Europe is doing things, well it isn't.

Yeah, I notice they've only "toppled" centre-right parties though, with far-right parties waiting in the wings.

Can't wait until they extradite the paedo prince and stick him in that shit hole jail Epstein and Diddy went to

That pedo prince (Andrew) isn't a Prince anymore. There is also the Norwegian creep, he's being reinvistigated again. But that won't take care of the real problem, will it?

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sure, censure is also biased...

[–] Rumo161@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Someone has to do it.
