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.

Gotta rape some kids and enter mutual blackmail if you wanna be somebody in the West.

aramis87@fedia.io · 44 pts · 228d

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.

Well he's deffo got the resting paedo face going on.
Fucking hell, with that chinless wonder of a face it'd be more of a surprise if he wasn't a nonce.

Bless you for providing us with this nightmare fuel. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go bore this image out of my brain with a power drill.

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.

Zwiebel@feddit.org · 14 pts · 228d (2 replies)

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

aramis87@fedia.io · 5 pts · 228d (1 reply)

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 … ”

HermitBee@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 228d

“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.

echodot@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 228d

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.

It's always the people you think it's going to be isn't it.

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…

He's going to burn the UK to the ground, but whilst holding a pint. What an everyman.

Usual suspects

FishFace@piefed.social · 9 pts · 228d (6 replies)

Let me know if there's evidence he diddled kids, rather than being associated with someone who did...

Meantime there is actual news about how awful farage is.

floofloof@lemmy.ca · 23 pts · 228d (4 replies)

I think the network of connections is still significant even if there's no evidence he was raping kids. Epstein to Bannon to Farage and Tommy Robinson: there's money from all over the world concentrated through these people into undermining the UK and other democracies.

Flisty@mstdn.social · 10 pts · 228d

@floofloof @FishFace the Quiet Riot podcast was discussing their utter consternation (surprise is the wrong word) that in the same year Starmer couldn't accept so much as a pair of trousers from a donor, and Reeves and Rayner were being leapt on for everything, Farage has accepted a £9m crypto donation (90% of Reform's funding for the year) and nobody has pushed him on what influence that has bought, or what went on with Nathan Gill and the Russian bribes.

FishFace@piefed.social · 2 pts · 228d (1 reply)

What is there concrete?

There is BOUND to be dodgy money (quite possibly not illegal money due to the UK's weak laws in this area) funding farage but just being mentioned alongside these other fucks isn't evidence of it

mannycalavera@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 228d

🤣😂😅 if you've come here for evidence you're in for a rude awakening my friend.

HubertManne@piefed.social · 2 pts · 228d

To me it comes down to how often. Sure maybe you went to a party before anyone knew about this guy once or even went to his island or something when he invited you but I find it hard to believe someone went to his island and decided to go back or keep hanging with him or going to his parties. Had to have some wierd vibes there.

Flax_vert@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 228d

Epstein just had political analysis reports which were talking about Brexit. He wasn't associated to Epstein.

Please God let him be arrested for this.

sunbeam60@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 228d

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.

I do not want to create sudden extreme nausea syndrome, but, his face and smile approaching any young woman or underaged gir with intent to abuse.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 228d

and counting

So there's a "Epstein Filesier"?

FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 2 pts · 228d

It’s funny how this stuff would be surprising but at the same time, nope. Not surprising at all.

The only source I can find on this is the canary, not totally convincing.

javiwhite@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 228d (13 replies)

Tbf, they list their source at the top of the article, which is a site collating the Epstein list references to various individuals for easier public review. Here's Farages profile, which they were referring to for this article:    

  

https://epsteinsecrets.com/entities/996786.   

  

So it's not like this is some journalist making up arbitrary numbers... The source is readily available for scrutiny.

Flax_vert@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 228d (12 replies)

Farage is mentioned in two distinct contexts within these documents. First, he appears in social media monitoring reports tracking Brexit discussions and public reactions to his 'Breaking Point' immigration poster during the 2016 referendum. Second, and more significantly, he is referenced in multiple reports analyzing Steve Bannon's efforts to build a global network of nationalist and populist movements, appearing alongside figures like Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Pen, and Donald Trump. These documents describe Farage attending political events and fundraisers in the United States. One document also quotes him praising Putin's handling of Syria.

Nigel Farage has no direct connection to Jeffrey Epstein or the abuse allegations. His name appears in these documents because the files include wide-ranging political research and social media monitoring conducted during investigations. The documents mentioning Farage focus on Brexit politics and the international populist movement rather than Epstein's activities.

So it's a massive nothingburger. Sounds like epstein was subscribed to some form of political mailing list or something.

If you consider the worlds most prolific peadophile ring having a clear interest in promoting right wing populism throughout Europe and the US to be nothing, then that's a perfectly valid opinion to have. But it's not one I'd agree with personally.

Flax_vert@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 228d

I thought that was obvious though? Still don't like the headline though, it implies Farage was being a nonce.

Kinda funny how QAnon was all about how the leftists were a massive paedophile ring but it's true about the right...
