do you want to go down in history as the man that killed the funk

Best line ever in a movie

Mr “I like to move it move it” is now resting. Am speculating he didn’t want to face the rape trial.

Remember him pissing about on Big Breakfast with Zig and Zag and thinking he was cool and was in on the joke. Le sigh.

I like to rape it...... Etc.

Female dance music employees and journos saying he was on their watch out list since the late 90’s. DJs you rate saying “he had his faults RIP”. Fuck off.

Who are the apologists?

Thread here. He threw girlfriends down stairs and hospitalised them “a psychopath”

Have found tweets from Simon Dunmore Eats Everything Jamie Jones and Yousef defending him. FFS

That’s just twitter, on Insta Tenaglia, Oscar G spouting “he was alway nice to me” bullshit too

Sigh indeed.

I don't see "he was always nice to me" as bullshit. Its a reality. I assume plenty of rapists, paedophiles, murderers etc are nice to a lot of people. Seems quite important to capture this rather than dismiss him as a monster. Feels like quite an important message for people looking to safeguard love ones too. Being a good friend or a nice guy doesn't mean they aren't a potential rapist.

What do you expect his friends to do? Tweet "glad the rapist cunt is dead. He was always a monster. Wore a big rapist sign round his neck"?

What do you expect his friends to do?

Given his behaviour was common knowledge, maybe not be his friend?

Just feels that making a moral judgement on this via twitter might be shaky ground.

Perhaps I'm sensitive to this because a friend of mine was convicted of murder in my younger years and he was always nice to me. He was an exemplary friend. Right until he killed somebody. It took some time, maybe even years, for me to process the facts.

But fair dos, I totally understand that his friends expressing positive sentiments about a dead alleged rapist can be construed as diminishing the seriousness of his behaviour.

Or they could just say nothing at all.

Jeff Epstein's mates didn't exactly rush to say what a nice guy he was apart from the paedo sex slave business.

Or they could just say nothing at all

True. But I don't think it's as simple as that. Anyway, regret sticking my oar in really.

Jeff Epstein's mates didn't exactly rush to say what a nice guy he was apart from the paedo sex slave business.

There could well be reasons for that. As we will probably discover over the coming years.

I wonder if Epstein actually had friends in the true sense of the word.

Prince Andrew?

Interesting conundrum, can lizards truly be friends?

The idea of Epstein having real friends reminds me a bit of that drug dealer in our youth who sold drugs to be popular and everybody who bought off him called him their "mate" and maybe spent a little time with them but when they got arrested nobody was willing to put his bail up or give a character reference because ultimately they were just their drug dealer and they were only being nice in the hope of a) getting free drugs or b) not getting in trouble with the drug dealer who deep down they were a bit scared of.

Let's take time to remember stunty.
