Just got back from the Blairite rally. Amazing turnout. A dozen people holding hands and chanting “the spate of knife and gun murders in London was not being caused by poverty, but a distinctive black culture.”

One of the most upvoted members of Reddit of all time was some person called maxwellhill who posted all the time and almost exclusively about age of consent stuff and legalising child pornography and stopped posting the day Maxwell got arrested.

Anyone received a witness citation before? I just received a text saying I'll be getting a letter. Have a good idea what it's about and don't particularly have any interest in being a witness, but far as I am aware you have to go, don't you?

It's weirder (but not as clear cut) as that. The user *did* have some alarmingly detailed posts about age of consent back in the days before the big :reddit: purge but really no more so than any reddit poster, but they didn't post about it "almost exclusively". They *did* post an absolute shitload of news though, which is how they became mod of several news subreddits.

While there are some very suggestive absences in their posting history - specifically a couple of days after Maxwell's mother's death - they actually stopped posting 2 days before her arrest (and apparently posted to several private subreddits in the days following her arrest but I don't know enough about how Reddit works to verify that), and also just kept on posting on days when she is known to have been travelling or at large public events.

Personally I think it possibly was her but more likely was someone who worked for her - I assume there's a lot of downtime when you're the PA for a society figure who has a side-hustle trafficking underage girls for a global paedophile ring.

I'm pretty sure that the court is only suggesting for you to come over if it's convenient for you.

Yeah, you have to attend, or you can risk having a warrant issued for your arrest.

This isn't true. iirc it's not the case that you technically have to go, but if you don't the Court will just order you to & it's a big hassle so in reality yeah you need to go.

Also, don't talk to police ever (unless you need an incident number for your insurance or it's like a sex offence or w/e), no good ever comes of it anyway & an upside of not doing so is you don't get called as a witness. Horse/barn door here, but in general.

You have to attend but you can make it clear you are unwilling to answer questions. They may still compel you to trial but if they think you're going to be a lot of hassle they may not bother. Please note if you do get summoned to court failure to answer questions there will result in contempt.

Swear down some of the posts in this thread are as stupid and ill informed as gammon conspiracy theories on Facebook, except from a different angle. It does show how careful you have to be about information you receive, even amongst friends

It usually requires one of the parties to be remotely likable. Can't they do the 19th century French thing where they duel outside a bistro and then both die of their wounds a few weeks later?

She wasn't even talking about him lol, she's a covid denying anti-banks conspiracy theorist. But even if she was, if some of those pictures of him partying with teenage girls as an old man hit the papers and news instead of the internet he would be even more done than he is now and it wouldn't need any more than that. Older Tory women would go absolutely batshit about what a disgusting old man he is.

I don't understand how you can hear "Ghislaine Maxwell was a Reddit supermoderator with a billion karma" and not immediately know deep in your soul that it's completely, 100% true.
