The latest tranche of Epstein files has sent shock waves around the world, but many of the powerful men who minimised and dismissed his crimes are still yet to face any real consequences. The documents show the likes of Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon were happy to maintain relationships with Epstein even after he spent time in jail for child sex offences. What message does that send to the abused women and girls, whose experiences should be the real focus? And will these men ever be held to account?

  • There is a far bigger scandal at play here guys.

  • There's nothing they think they can't buy,

  • own and flip to make it look like they're the good guys okay?

  • A week after the release of the new Epstein files, will his enablers ever be held accountable?

  • So it's now been a week exactly since the latest batch,

  • shall we say, of Epstein files was released in three million of them.

  • So we've had a week to look over and look at the famous names,

  • some of which we didn't know the full extent of their relationship with Epstein Wright,

  • people like Elon Musk, Noam Chomsky.

  • There are a lot of very rich, powerful, influential men.

  • who should be answering questions or speaking publicly this week, but who have not done so.

  • The one person who has, notably, is Melinda Gates.
