Yes. The Epstein saga has been a godsend to the MSM, making the silly season even sillier. Must have improved their sales too, especially the tabloids.
There is a Caroline Davies on Linked In who is ex BBC and Torygraph and various magazines such as GQ. I assume she is the author of the piece you link to. She obtained a PPE at Oxford following James Allen's School, Dulwich (sister school of Dulwich College, and Alleyn's, ie segregation in private education). Yet another Garudian posh girl.
