Epstein: The Maxwell Connection
By George Galloway
August 23, 2019 "Information
Clearing House" - As Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell
appears to have fallen off the face of the Earth, it’s little remembered in the
media how I fought a long war against her father Robert and the part I played in
his downfall.
It would be scarcely worth recalling at this distance if it did not shed light,
or rather a cloud of suspicion, over Maxwell’s favourite child Ghislaine, now at
the centre of a dark and fascinating story as bizarre as any which enveloped her
late father.
I first met Robert Maxwell when he was an enormously powerful and fiercely
intimidating media mogul in the early 1980s. It was in the green room of the
BBC’s then flagship program Question Time, hosted by Sir Robin Day – then the
doyen of BBC grandees.
“Ah, Mr Galway (sic),” boomed Mr Maxwell, “the PLO man.” At which point he
punched me so hard in the solar plexus I doubled over, tears in my eyes. As was
the wont of the British establishment at the time, my fellow participants and
Sir Robin himself averted their eyes and pretended not to see.
At the time and for nearly a decade, I was closely associated with the
then-British satirical magazine Private Eye, writing regularly and providing
stories and leads for others, regularly attending the legendary Private Eye
lunches at the Soho waterie The Coach and Horses, presided over by the founder
and editor of the magazine, Richard Ingrams.
