The Labour Party must now suspend Peter Mandelson

  1. This is nothing more than rabble-rousing crap, to be completely blunt. I’m hardly Mandelson’s biggest fan but this is little more than “Mandelson is GUILTY of not being psychic”.

    For the first one, he called him in jail to help get in touch with a 3rd party banker. Not ideal but it’s not like he was calling for a catchup and setting dates for island holidays when he gets out. This is a non-issue.

    For the 2nd one, he publicly supported a charity run by Ghislane Maxwell, years before any allegations came out about her involvement. This is looking at it through hindsight, and at the time, is nothing more than “politician supports charity”.

    The third one is Mandelson going shopping with Epstein, years before *any* allegation about him was made. AKA “man goes shopping with friend”.

    The fourth one was that Mandelson was at a party in Epstein’s NY townhouse. Like many others were during one of the many parties. That’s nothing at all on its own.

    The fifth one is literally nothing more than Mandelson being an a
    Associate Director of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre at the same time as Kevin Spacey over 20 years ago, as if that somehow granted Mandelson psychic knowledge of how abusive Spacey was. That’s it.

    And the last one is nothing more than Mandelson being on the board of a bank that also did business with Epstein, who was a well known financier.

    This is the problem with blog-news: It’s mostly crap made to generate clicks and manufacture outrage. This is absolute bollocks.

  2. I had a friend who went into the civil service and worked with Mandelson. We gave him such a hard time that Mandelson was going to molest him, even though he was 20.

    >In January 2001 Peter Mandelson joined his friend Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic theatre in London

    Now I don’t feel it’s as funny.
