Doesn't look good.

The UK establishment are directly involved in CLS.

Are you sure there will be a genuine investigation? UK Saudi arms inquiry was withheld because it didn't fit UK aims:

No prosecutions for 2008 banking collapse.

I think it looks pretty good (for CLS).

I think that the more the UK state covers for CLS, the worse the blowback could be. Every single country that CLS has been involved in will have an official starting an investigation and dusting off the extradition forms.

The ruling party has prominent people on the board / with shares! This is why you and I are not in the UK establishment. We are inhibited by shame and a fear of losing. When we step back they double down. Everything or nothing, no in between. It is their birthright.

I don't buy into all of that particular narrative, as it was obviously started by someone playing divide and conquer games.

You don't believe a party which is steeped in class division and owns a company that seeds false news are not nice people?

Maybe I should send a couple of girls round, get some pictures? You don't win arguments with the truth!

They are not nice.

I think that the entire concept of The Establishment, UK class distinctions and the whole class war movement that accepts the basic premise, amplifies it, then reflects the image back, is one of the most successful long running dīvide et imperā strategies in existence, so why would I ever go along with it?

I don't agree with your analysis.

CLS? ITYM SCL.
