An Innocent Abroad

That dedicated public servant, Lord Mandelbrot the Infinitely Recurring, has commenced his latest rehabilitation by refusing any apology for continuing his association with Jeffrey Epstein past the point where he should have known that it was no longer to his personal advantage. Lord Mandelbrot was sacked as sucker-up in ordinary to the Tangerine Emperor once it became clear that Team Starmer had waved his appointment through without proper vetting for embarrassment - an understandable enough mistake given that Lord Mandelbrot had only got himself sacked two or three times before. As for Epstein's victims, the blame for their troubles lies with Society and The System, so Lord Mandelbrot has graciously condescended to draw a line under the whole ghastly business and to await with all due dignity his inevitable reappointment. At least the world is now aware that he never did anything genuinely inexcusable, such as suggesting that skin colour might be a factor in racism.
