The thing about the State is - it is very good at the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, it sort of depends on that. Other entities do it - the person who sort of knows their spouse is unfaithful but also doesn't know, or doesn't want to, doesn't want to 'go there'. I'm not vegetarian but I lean that way - and it depends on 'turning a blind eye' to how animals end their lives, it can't exactly be nice, can it? There are all kinds of examples.
This year I sent a PDF via email to scores of MPs, journalists, campaigners etc about alleged euthanasia in Surrey care homes, backed up with evidence and personal stories of mine in the press, features and letters. Got virtually no response, save my Epsom MP Helen Maguire whom I'd met once on the subject, basically saying, hey, keep our emails confidential! And that was it, she did nothing about it. So State cover ups are the done thing.
References on this page to Prince Philip and Christine Keeler are on the money. She too was hounded after the fact. The idea was, not being officially a prostitute but a 'good time girl' it is harder to prove that the men have frequented prostitutes, as no direct payment has been made, the gals are simply rewarded by living the high life.
There is a very odd clip from the Parkinson show in which the now notorious but then national treasure Jimmy Savile talks about how he introduced a young girl to Prince Philip. Delivered in his trademark jocular scattershot style, it now sounds like a coded message to the Establishment - I've got dirt on you, remember that, don't come near me. Some in the Messages claim that actor Alan Alda had the measure of him but that may be generous.
Likewise I'm unsure there is any smoking gun re Andrew. The Maitless interview had no 'gotcha' moment, no 'but I thought you just said you'd never met her' bit of trickery or elephant trap laid for him. Andrew dug himself a hole by showing what a bore he is/was and his alibis are unconvincing but that's not criminal in itself. Years later - and it is years later - these emails have been leaked showing he was lying about his last contact with Epstein, so that has certainly validated her interview by getting him on the record, something that wouldn't otherwise have happened.
What puzzles me given all this is who actually went after Epstein and how, and convicted him back in the day, given he had so much on everyone - you'd think a quiet word with the police would have nixed it. Certainly that would happen now - and would have happened then, you'd think.
