Adam @tricktrifle.bsky.social · 03/06/2026The irony in this - as so often - is that the far right is correct in a sense, but for the opposite reasons to the ones it is citing. Of course two-tier policing exists, but it categorically does not lead to relative detriment to white people. It's like the "any other minority" bullshit 010

Adam @tricktrifle.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Kompromat is only really valuable if it isn't already public knowledge. You couldn't even call the depth of Mandelson and Epstein's relationship an "open secret" 110
Adam @tricktrifle.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Honestly it would have been less embarrassing for Starmer to have said he appointed Mandelson because he was loyal to his friends 020
Adam @tricktrifle.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Be fair. Just because everyone who has ever been on the internet has burned into their retina images of Mandelson belt shopping and blowing out candles with Epstein doesn't mean a government vetting process could possibly pick that up 1100
Adam @tricktrifle.bsky.social · 04/02/2026In fairness, how could these professional journalists with all their connections be expected to know what all of us have known for years without having had to conduct any research whatsoever?
