Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Trump and Musk Knew Exactly Who Jeffrey Epstein Was Epstein was a convicted sex offender with a reputation for throwing parties with underage girls. That was precisely his appeal to some of the country’s richest and most powerful people.

“When The Daily Beast founder Tina Brown was asked to attend a dinner with Epstein, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew in 2010, she replied, “What the fuck is this … ? The paedophile’s ball?”)” newrepublic.com/article/2061...

Another eight pupils at Nigel Farage's school accuse him of racism.

One says he was called a "Paki" and told to "go back home" by Farage, who was three years older than him.
