You really think Farage (or anyone else) would want to be seen near that kiddie fiddler!??

Police are 'scoping' to see if Mandelson should be investigated.

You'd think it'd be a no-brainer, but apparently the definition of misconduct in public office is a bit fuzzy

The unfortunate circumstance is that any party running our country is full of people that don't live in the real world. Their idea of a job is hiding their grubby dealings until it's too late to do anything about it. The higher you are in government allows you to do whatever you like. Starmer is a typical example. Once he's done his worst you'll see years down the line what he's been up to!!!

Sadly I don't think its that straight-forward.
He always had a certain 'something' about him, came across as somewhat creepy, I'd certainly enjoy nothing more than seeing Mandleson being dragged away by the filth wearing the sparkly bracelets, but in reality the likelihood of this going anywhere is probably vanishingly small.

The revelations in the Epstein docs don't really amount to 'evidence' of the sort that could be used in a court of law, and we are talking about things that happened over 15 years ago, so the likelihood of gathering solid evidence now is pretty small, and even if they could, there is the possibility of some kind of statute of limitations preventing any meaningful prosecution.

Frankly, the police investigating, at this point after all these years, seems rather pointless, and more performative than productive.

Totally agree. When an investigation arises the defendant will always says they've no recollection of the event. It's an easy get out once it's years down the line.

There's chatter that the labour party are about to ditch Starmer as their leader.

Wait for the first Chorus....

And there's more....
