The guest list is finally becoming a hit list. That declassified 'bathrobe photo' of Prince Andrew was just the appetizer. Now the FBI and Metropolitan Police are digging into the main course. They are investigating a 2010 email from Peter Mandelson to Jeffrey Epstein regarding a €500bn EU bailout.

High society is smelling like a stagnant marsh. Nine UK government resignations have already cleared the room. Investigators want to know why an ambassador was giving a convicted financier advance notice on the Euro’s survival.

The scandal has even reached the St Patrick's Day parades. A float depicting the Epstein files was branded 'highly offensive' in Ireland. But for our readers, the real offense is the lack of decorum. If you're going to crash the global economy, at least put some shoes on first.
