Is the British part of the Epstein web unraveling now?

Lord Mandelson, who was removed from his post as the UK’s Ambassador to Washington due to the dubious relationships revealed in the documents of the conspiring pervert Jeffrey Epstein, had also resigned from the Labour Party. Mandelson had played a leading role in uprooting Jeremy Corbyn—whom the “Israel Lobby” had declared an enemy—and his supporters from the Labour Party.

Another actor in the lynching campaign against Corbyn was Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney. Starmer’s right-hand man was accused of shifting the Labour Party to the Right. According to the British press, McSweeney was a protégé of Mandelson. That’s why he was referred to as the new Mandelson of the Labour Party. Like Mandelson, his protégé has also resigned.

Irish-born McSweeney came to London at a very young age, spent some time—for some reason—in a kibbutz in Israel, and then entered politics in the Labour Party, climbing the ladder very quickly. It is said that Lord Mandelson and pro-Israel wealthy businessmen played a role in his rapid rise. McSweeney’s pressure was effective in Mandelson’s appointment as Ambassador to Washington, despite Mandelson having lost his reputation due to his friendship with Epstein.

In my previous article, I had noted that the US-centered “Epstein tremor” would not be limited to Mandelson’s resignation in the UK. Indeed, McSweeney’s resignation followed. It is also very unlikely that Starmer will emerge unscathed from this tremor. His inability to muster the courage to remove McSweeney has put Starmer in a bad position. It is also noticeable that McSweeney, by taking responsibility for the “Mandelson appointment,” is trying to keep Starmer afloat.

In her February 6 article, Polly Toynbee, one of the columnists for The Guardian, said that Lord Mandelson—whom she described as the “Rat King of the Labour Party”—spread a “stench of death and evil” in Westminster, the administrative center in London. Toynbee emphasized that Mandelson would drag down Labour Party leader Keir Starmer along with himself.

Readers may wonder why Polly Toynbee—the granddaughter of the famous historian Arnold Toynbee—made the “Rat King” analogy. Those familiar with detective literature will immediately recall what this term refers to. Polly Toynbee, herself a novelist, may have drawn the “Rat King” description from the novel Ratking by British crime writer Michael Dibdin.

Rat kings are said to be mythological creatures that emerge when a large number of rats confined in a tight space become stuck together as a mass, their tails entangled with pus, blood, and filth. In real life, this species, developing in a conjoined state, has rarely been observed.

In Dibdin’s novel, set in Italy and also adapted as a television film, “Ratking” is used to describe a criminal case based on complex interest relationships. In Ratking, the first novel in the “Detective Zen” series, Judge Bartocci resorts to the “Rat King” analogy to explain to Detective Aurelio Zen how difficult it is to solve the case in question. Bartocci states that the “Rat King” is the dominant animal of the conjoined swarm, saying:

“There are many people in this country who believe that somewhere, hidden under a floorboard, is the king of all the rats. Some think it’s Calvi, others think it’s Gelli. Some think it’s someone else, above and beyond all of them, maybe a name from the government or, on the contrary, someone whose name no one has even heard. The only thing they all agree on is the existence of this animal, this super-rat.”

On another page, Bartocci tells Detective Zen that the conspiracies of powerful common interest groups cannot be overcome by individual efforts, stating: “I should have known. As I told you before, the rat king governs itself. The strength of each rat is the strength of all. An individual initiative against them is doomed to fail. The system can only be brought down politically, by acting together, by establishing a stronger system.”

In short, in the novel, the actors of the criminal case likened to the “Rat King” start devouring each other to survive when they become suspicious of one another. Thus, what Polly Toynbee might have meant with her “Rat King” description becomes more or less clear.

The “British tangle” of the global conspiracy network of the “usual suspects” is unraveling. There is a saying: “If you’re going to be hanged, do it with a British rope.” This idiom is attributed to the sturdiness of British rope. If the British tangle has begun to unravel, we will see that the other tangles will eventually unravel as well.
