Sickening... Epstein's joy for Robinson

Paedophile backed activist and joked about Auschwitz

- BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

JEFFREY Epstein supported far-right activist Tommy Robinson and made grotesque Holocaust "jokes" in private emails released by US lawmakers.

"TOMMY ROBINSON. !! good work," the convicted child sex offender wrote in one message to an unnamed pal, celebrating his release from jail in 2018.

Robinson, 42 real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - had been jailed for contempt after filming a trial, breaching reporting restrictions.

In another congratulatory note, Epstein added: "Kristallnacht always has the big fire."

The disgraced financier, who was Jewish, went further in a separate message, writing: "Come join us at Auschwitz, opening night, special," in reference to the 2018 midterm elections, which saw US Democrats seize back control of the House of Representatives.

The disturbing comments appear in a tranche of 23,000 documents released last week, initially making headlines for references to Donald Trump and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the shamed former Duke of York.
