Here in the UK there is plenty of circumstantial evidence linking people active on the far right guilty of various violent crimes including murder. 000
thackwallop.bsky.social @thackwallop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That’s it isn’t it. Trump is more interested in self preservation than doing what’s right. In my opinion a major factor in him running for a second term was to keep his fat arse out of prison and avoid the Epstein scandal. Why has the US done nothing about that? 020
thackwallop.bsky.social @thackwallop.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The great thing about the BBC and the way it’s funded is that it caters for minority interest audiences without the market pressures of delivering a continuous swamp of lowest common denominator programming.
