    lets wait and see.

    100% andrew is scum and should be in prison.

    but they had decades of accusations and reports. our govt only gave a shit once it was revealed the state was the “victim”. They immediately arrested him.

    lock him up, throw away the key.

      Decades to gather the will to act.

      Seconds to start lording their superiority over the US.

      He was still arrested though and not, to pick a completely random example, elected president for a second time when no one had an excuse not to know what a massive cunt he was.

      No. However in the UK, unsure about other countries, whatever they find during the searches they are doing today will bring other charges in the future (if serious enough).

      If there’s an inkling of paedo stuff at all then they’ll rearrest and charge him again.

      Which they had to do after arresting Mandelson.

      Andrew will sing like a bird for immunity and throw Mandelson under the bus.

      Thats normal procedure for non-violent crimes (this wasnt about rape/abuse/trafficing), arrest them, interview them, release on bail while they go through all the material they took in the search while he was in the nick.

    Oh, it’s not being a massive nonce they got him for. It was leaking information.

    Which is presumably why Epstein let him fly in and have a go on his girl collection in the first place.

    We’re hitting the point where fucking the kids is OK, but paying for it isn’t.

      Yeah he’s not convicted for fucking kids, he’s convicted for fucking money. Which of course is a much worse crime as far as our owners are concerned

    Wait until they are old, only do something out of fear of otherwise worse consequences, and even then never even prosecute the right stuff, give them a slap on the wrists never dismantling the precesses that lead to the problem?

    Yeah, idk, I keep hoping for better, but we kinda keep “giving” rich ppl more & more power, so idk why would things suddenly, magically improve.

    A bit like

    I was looking for exactly this meme when I read that South Korea sentenced their ex-president to life in prison.

    Hardly. They waited so god damn long to investigate. The first photo andrew had with that girl should have been reason enough to put him in for questioning

      Agreed, it can essentially be an ableist term for those which actively fight against this illness to have a chance at a normal life.
