BBC says interview with Epstein lawyer did not meet its standardsAlan Dershowitz, who denies sexual abuse, spoke on news channel about Ghislaine Maxwell conviction BBCNews GhislaineMaxwell the Royal family propaganda machine. What an utter disgrace; and the real kicker, we're forced to pay for it So it's okay to broadcast the claims of the accusers, but not okay to broadcast the statements of the accused? Why are we expected to automatically believe the former but not the latter? Remember Carl Beech - his sex abuse claims were total lies. Very strange.

Ghislaine Maxwell: Survivors speak of relief after guilty verdictAnnie Farmer, who was groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell, said the verdict was a 'tremendous relief' I feel so happy that these poor, vulnerable young ladies have at last got social justice. The rich elite must not get away with exploiting vulnerable and the poor. That includes paediphile Prince Andrew. Dershowitz interview was appalling. YOU gave HIM a platform. I have no faith in your apologetic claim of ignorance when you contextualised him as a legal expert with no reference to his connection to this case. Such gross partiality & bias. Editors should be sacked. Just rotten. What does Alan Dershowitz have to say, though? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
