The Powerful Don't Want You To Know The Full Truth

In a civilised society, telling the truth should be the default position. Whoever you are, whatever your interests, background, class, race, gender, telling the truth is what we depend on for trust, cohesiveness and progress.

But not everyone tells the truth. Liars appear in every segment of society. But when the most powerful interests and people are liars, or have something to hide from victims of evil people, the shutters come down and the powerful are protected.

Epstein's victims, women and girls, deserve to be told the full, unredacted truth in the Epstein files. These are people who we should all respect and enable. We should all make the powerful in society accountable to us. Failure to do so should have consequences.

This video was released on 'Super Bowl Sunday', to the largest American TV audience. It calls for full disclosure of the documents relating to Epstein.

These women must have justice. The powerful must be made to face the full consequences of their actions.

But who are 'the powerful'? The list of powerful people and institutions grows as revelations are made. The political class, including the monarchy, are soaked in filth. They desperately try to cover their tracks, apologise, have inquiries, make statements, yet they remain untouched by real consequences. People are used as firewalls, hoping that the sacrifice of someone will put an end to the scandal. However, the crisis goes deeper. Much deeper.

My position is clear. The monarchy must go. They do not speak for me. Charles is not my king. He insults my intelligence. They have no democratic mandate. They are self-serving, astonishingly privileged and ultimately accountable to no-one. They invent roles for themselves, even making their own church and religion. They are pathetic. They are unnecessary.

We need to make the UK a republic, democratic to the core, where anyone can become head of state and not limited by class, race or gender. We will never progress as a society when ambition is institutionally capped by the powerful. Visit the Republic website and read about the movement to abolish the monarchy. We must change the way society is governed and make everyone feel valued. Everyone.

31 March 2026: The Guardian reports today that the 'state visit' of the monarch to Trump's fascist America is to go ahead (i). This is an absolute disgrace. The idea that, at a time of war and with an absolute lunatic for a president, the British head of state should go, party, smile for the cameras and generally ponce about, was backed by Starmer, who himself, along with the British Forces and military dead, has been insulted by Trump and his goons many times. This disgrace, along with the Epstein scandal, ought to signal the end of this decrepit, deceitful and abhorrent monarchy. #notinmyname #notmyking

I applaud the stance taken by the Spanish government, who has told Trump that he can't use Spanish bases in the war against Iran (ii). Europe must stand up to the bullying tactics of Trump and his cabal.

It's very clear what should happen, but it appears that Starmer isn't prepared to give Trump a lashing, just use diplomatic language. Perhaps he isn't brave enough to do it. So I will.

America, your reputation is trashed. It is on the same level as a bin full of black vomit. It's not going to recover, now or ever. Trump, Hesketh, Vance, Rubio and the rest, go and fuck yourselves senseless. You are truly pathetic and will be remembered as a bunch of racist fascist liars that didn't give a damn about anyone but yourselves. You are not going to bully us, Europe, Greenland, Ukraine, Canada, Cuba, Mexico or NATO. Learn that. Now.
