      If you actually RTFA you’ll find it’s just mentions through Bannon, nothing to do with any trips to any islands.

      That we know of.

      But yeah; the guy is clearly funded by Russian and right wing nefarious funding basically trying to overthrow the world order.

    Yet people are excited to vote reform the most when their “anti-elite” talk is bogus, if you thought Brexit was bad oh boy just you wait…

    it’s due to Farage’s connection to the right-wing organiser Steve Bannon, who we now know was incredibly close to Epstein in his final years.

    This bit is interesting too (from a tweet quoted in the article):

    Epstein emails Steve Bannon saying “Tommy Robinson!! Good Work” after Robinson travelled to the US to meet with Bannon in 2017.

    It is interesting that Epstein has this to say to Bannon only months after meeting with Tommy when you also consider that Tommy is close friends with Andrew Tate, has attacked and lied about Tate’s alleged victims and helped Tate spread propaganda about his human trafficking cases.

    What did Bannon discuss with Tommy Robinson that pleased Jeffrey Epstein so much?

      I’m assuming Epstein just thought that Tommy Robson was a loose cannon and shouldn’t be brought into the inner circle. Given the fact that at least half his prosecutions have been entirely self-inflicted that’s not a necessarily un realistic point of view.

    Let’s have a show of hands: who expected one of the worst men on the planet to also be a pedo? Oh, all of you? Makes sense.

      It’s more about the fact that he’s prepared to go along with it to further his own aspirations then he’s necessarily into it himself. Not that that’s much of a improvement.

      Throwing other people under the bus for his own betterment is 100% on brand for him. Is absolutely able to turn a blind eye to the most appalling abuse if he thinks it’ll further his objectives. It’s the same reason people think he took Russian money, because obviously the Russians would have approached him and he’s incredibly selfish and greedy so he would have taken the money if offered.

      If you read the article he doesn’t seem to have been involved with the rape/trafficking, just right political connections

        Seems like he might’ve been interested:

        Farage observed that if he’d been of a different generation, he too would have probably come into contact with Epstein. “Had I been 10 years older, I would have done, because they were the circles … ”

          “Had I been 10 years older, I would have done, because they were the circles … ”

          I assume you don’t really think this quote is Farage accidentally letting slip that he’d quite like to have been in on the child rape, but I’m struggling to see what your point is otherwise.
