Everyone knew about Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Diddy, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. Iβm so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.
@Strandjunker@mstdn.social As I've said elsewhere, it's pure political and class loyality: ignore the failings of everyone on your team, relentlessly accuse everyone else of doing what your own people are doing with impunity.
The UK's Jimmy Savile was called out as far back as 1978 by Johnny Rotten, but to shield the predatory paedophile, was subject to legal threats by the BBC and the segment was never aired.
The Sex Pistols were subsequently banned by BBC Radio for some time for "contentious behaviour".
