@privateeyenews.bsky.social Goodness, read that as Brenda had met Epstein and though goodness, I thought theQueen had more nous than that
I shall grow old, I shall grow old, I shall buy my joints ready rolled ppl
I was a bit concerned that spelling was fettled so early- fettled as in sorted & cleared out
