I'm no fan of Donald Trump, but..

[TheFilliesWillRiseAgain]

I'm no fan of Trump but imagine if Biden or Harris had won the 2024 election:

Maduro would still be destroying Venezuela

The Ayatollah would still be killing his own people in Iran

Iran would still have nuclear weapons

There would probably still be Israeli hostages in Gaza

India and Pakistan could be at war

As could Armenia and Azerbaijan; Rwanda and DRC; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Cambodia and Thailand

Russia would be in a much stronger position in Ukraine

Other NATO countries would be spending less on defence.

He's not very good domestically but that's an incredible record on foreign affairs. Let's face it: The world would be on fire if Biden or Harris had won. Trump is seen as a strong man around the world and, outside of the west, that's probably respected.

it definitely is. The Pro Palestine loons are out waving flags today alongside Jeremy Corbyn. So predictable.

Yes they are not free yet but a lot of terrible powerful leaders died yesterday.... It only takes a Google to educate yourself with the rules of the regime why don't you go and look and then come back as a women and tell me you would be happy to live like that!? The regime worked with a lot of terriost remember the kids in the concert so who really cares if they go to hell.

Have you apprised yourself of AI manipulated footage?

It's not AI maybe your friend the BBC will show the celebration s and you will believe them

This sounds like MAGA publicity garbage.

You don’t think there have been celebrations?

If you look at this on the BBC ‘Celebrations around the world after strikes on Iran’ perhaps you’ll come back to the pp

It's not AI. I was in the area and heard the celebrations, saw people on the tube who had come from them and have seen videos from friends and people I know who were there.

I find it weird people are so obsessed about the Epstein files when the witness testimony of the survivors and others (MPs, parents, officials) in the rape gang inquiry, in Julie Bindel's recent interview with Fiona Goddard, Maggie Oliver's ongoing work and many, many other witness testimonies describes a far, far worse abuse of children right here in the UK.

And don't get me wrong, what happened with Epstein was evil, and I hope those involved are criminally charged and receive justice. But what has been described as happening in this country is many many magnitudes worse both in the level of torture visited upon children and the number of children affected as well as state institutions (social services, police, council) involvement in a cover up. And yet, none of this is meaningfully covered by the mainstream media (according to the BBC for 'lack of resources' - chinny reckon - think it's probably there are too many people in high places implicated), despite the attempts over decades of journalists like Bindel.

Unlike the Epstein files, every single person in the UK can try and ensure justice for the raped children from the UK. We can actually do something. Write to your MP. Ask why none of the officials whose job it was to protect these children have been sacked or prosecuted. Ask why there is so little action by politicians, why survivors were treated the way they were in the attempt to establish an inquiry and whether or not the government is just kicking the can down the road again and again despite empty words saying it's 'important' (deeds not words).

I mean whatever you think about US politicians, they released the Epstein files (even with redactions) whilst this government was running around trying to delete open access to court files on grooming gangs. Compare and contrast.

It is possible to care about the grooming gangs and the Epstein abuse, and to want accountability for all who have been involved in either. And I don't think it's particularly helpful to decide that one lot of abuse was inherently "worse" than another - the suffering for all of the survivors is horrific and I really don't think we need to start keeping score about which abuse was worse.

As for the US releasing the files? Well, that's the point, isn't it? There seems to be a huge amount of very significant material that hasn't been released. So if we compare and contrast? We see that men have been allowed to get away with horrific abuse on both sides of the Atlantic.

Yep he has done a lot of good... and a lot bonkers stuff. But on here you tend to get people who just love to hate and will not see the former.

Agree - I’ve read plenty about the Civil service going into Iraq after the fall of Saddam - was an absolute shit show due to lack of understanding of how that society worked and forward planning. The corruption was rife and government money siphoned away to many illiterate Warlords. Change is just so slow and will only happen if the people want it and can over throw the next death cult leaders who will have already been in place.

And it's the case that the media in this country covers Epstein but not the grooming gangs revelations. And that people in this country can do something about one situation but not the other.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said the bombing of the school was a 'mistake', as it's looking increasingly likely that the school was bombed by Iran.

Verifiable source, that isn't a post on X based on a post on telegram?

Nowhere else is reporting this.

Have you been living under a rock or something? There has been loads of coverage in the media of the grooming gangs. No doubt we will see more when the statutory enquiry gets going.

Obviously not but you're naive if you think more won't die from the power vacuum the US loves to leave after a forced regime change and the bombing they do before they leave them to it.

I couldn’t like this more if l tried. Thank you ♥️
Im sick to death of women on here all going ‘but, but but Trump blah blah and what-about Epstein’ when it comes down to the simple truth that tens of thousands of girls were assaulted, raped, tortured, impregnated, beaten and even murdered by mainly Pakistani Muslim men, while the people who were supposed to protect them remained silent as did the vast majority of Muslims in the UK.
And it’s still fucking going on only now we have a few more nationalities involved thanks to the ‘small boat men’.

Yet they bang on and on about the Epstein files…..
Boils my piss something chronic.

Oh please. He is a shit human. He cares not who he harms. He diddled CHILDREN, but yeah, any accidental benefit totally makes it ok; it also doesn't matter that he's a con or a felon. Please, PLEASE stop carrying water for a criminal.

And I'm not sure where you live, but here in the US, we've seen people murdered on the street by his regime. He's not making the world better and if you can get the scales to fall from your eyes, you could see what in front of you. Like right at the end of your nose.

Would you acknowledge that it is possible to care about more than one thing at once?

I don’t give a shit if you think my ‘racism is showing’.
I don’t need to do any work on myself thanks.

I take it since you are the beacon of all knowledge that you know over 50,000 of the people killed in Gaza were Hamas terrorists??
Hamas have given their relatives pensions.
Im rather pleased the world has 50,000 less terrorists who like to rape and murder women and children.
Are you a supporter of terrorists?

Bloody hell, warmongering unpredictable imbecilic twat starting wars right left and centre to deflect attention from him being up to his neck in Epstein files and other piles of shit.

And dont start me on his treatment of Ukraine, it truly is offensive to suggest he is anything other than Putin's little bitch.

Yes of course it is.
But the hysteria surrounding ‘Epstein/Andrew/Trump/‘ is hardly commensurate with the number of women involved compared to the Raping Gangs here.
Where were the vocal left when the government refused to full public enquiry???

Why were they not marching for THEM ??
Oh no, they would rather march for (mainly) terrorists killed in Gaza , shouting anti semetic Jewish slogans.

Do you even know how many "women" were involved in Epstein's sex trafficking - I put "women" in quotes as most of them were barely out of their teens, some were actual children??? It is not Hysteria, its genuinly shocking and terrifying. No one knows where many of these females are now, or even who they were.

It does not detract from other horrors but minimising it is very wrong.

You seem to be confusing multiple different issues.

Re the Palestine marches - there were some antisemitic elements to them, I agree. It's one of the reasons that I never went on any of the protests despite being deeply concerned about Israel's actions in Gaza. But those expressing antisemitic views were in the minority, and it's absurd to suggest that most of the people on those marches were marching in support of terrorists. Tens of thousands of innocent children were killed by the Israelis during their bombardment of Gaza - inevitably, people will be deeply concerned about that and they had a right to express their views.

You also have a right to express your views on the grooming gang issue. How many marches have you organised so far?
