A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Arrested for allegedly selling sensitive info, not, you know, the one thing Epstein is known for.
Police are investigating Mandelson over claims he passed sensitive government information to Epstein a decade and a half ago. He does not face allegations of sexual misconduct.

The minor stuff is implied in what was released. The disclosure of confidential documents is right there. If they get them on those charges, I won’t be weeping tears for them, and with a bit of luck more stuff surfaces during the investigation
It's entirely possible Britain just doesn't have many players or their cases are being built up. The USA, on the other hand, is the host nation and has yet to do anything. Americans just fully support pedophila, apparently.

Totally, this must be why every candidate associated with Donald has lost their election in 2025 and 2026 (so far) and someone tried to infiltrate Mar-A-Lago and assassinate him this week.
The truth is we want justice but our government has turned against us, so STFU.
We've been through all of this shit before. Trump has consistently evaded justice at every level, not even the assassins can shoot straight. Until he can't leave his bunker without getting gunned down America is going to burn, simple as.
Fair points all around. The only thing that is going to stop Donald is his own body failing, and as we saw with Kissinger, that's not exactly an optimistic thing as he could live to be 100 too.
I highly doubt his body will make it to the end of the year. He's already had one stroke on camera, and even the best medical care on the planet has its limits.
We'll see. If it were to happen, I would just like for it to happen before he radically warps or erects other public monuments.
It's hilarious* that no amount of child rape will move the police to do anything, but the second an errant dime jumps to the other side of the ledger, it's mass arrests of princes and politicians.
* Horrifying
His emails containing confidential information are in the Epstein files. There’s the damning evidence.
You must know rape is much harder to investigate and prove.
And so far there is no evidence that Mandy was involved in the rape. Just the influence-peddling and (probably) selling state secrets.
Yes, true.
However, the question is would any of this have ever happened if money or trade secrets weren't involved?
Obviously we don't know what's happening behind closed doors, but it does seem like:
"Kiddies are being trafficked, and raped. There are even accusations of murder."
"Oh no, how terrible. Let's wait then inevitably do nothing about this."
"Hey, remember about those kids being raped etc, well apparently money and secrets were being exchanged as well."
"OUTRAGEOUS. We must do something about this!!"
Either way, I'm happy something is being done. And I'll be even more happy if people see consequences for their crimes.
Oh no how unfortunate.
