Brendan Hughes, Gerry Adams, and a collapsed court case in London’s Royal Courts of Justice
Newspaper readers who followed reports of a very unusual Gerry Adams London trial were not surprised by its collapse.
Procedurally. for this category of case, there is a 3 year time limit. People injured in three IRA bombings – Old Bailey 1973; Docklands and Manchester 1996 – put Gerry Adams in the dock seeking nominal damages of £1 on the grounds that the former Sinn Féin president had been an IRA leader.

For many years the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and the man who was formerly know as Prince Andrew have hidden in plain sight.
It is unlikely that the British state authorities, and police forces in other countries, can continue to turn a blind eye to these crimes.

Gordon Brown : Police must investigate Epstein sex-trafficking allegations
What connects this month’s revelations to the sex trafficking crimes of Jeffrey Epstein is our decades-long collective failure to root out the worldwide networks of powerful men with wealth and influence who have raped, exploited and violated girls and women; treated them as less than human – and done so with almost complete impunity.
