Were We Ready For The Epstein Files? - Victoria Debates

Why Are We Having This Debate?

The Epstein Files, a collection of legal documents containing every bit of information from evidence collected against the disgraced financier Epstein to the court proceedings, victims and unending list of accusations from the notorious to the unsubstantiated.

The US Justice department has released these documents under the "Epstein Transparency Act" signed by President Trump but such mass releases of sensitive investigative material of what is still an ongoing set of investigations is unprecedented. Are we ready for what comes next if this trend continues or would we have been better off letting the department of justice continue it's investigations behind closed doors?

So we ask - Were we ready for the Epstein Files To be released?

What We Do

3v3 panel debate where our members explore the strongest arguments for a given topic.

A debate should tell the audience what they need to know and not just what the speakers think. If you feel the same way, then we want to meet you.

Debate London is the year-round series of free public debates held weekly at venues across the capital. The series is run by Debate London, a social enterprise that helps its members to advance their personal and professional development by teaching them how to debate.

All of our speakers are Debate London members who have agreed to defend a particular perspective the audience need to hear, rather than just share their own personal opinion. After presenting the point of view assigned to them, the audience are then given the floor to cross-examine them and share their own position.

The only time we hear what the speakers really think is at the end of the debate when they tell us where they really stand and whether this changed at all while learning how to defend the perspective assigned to them.

After Debate Social

After all of our debates we have a post debate hang-out. This is a chance for our community to get to know new people, explore new ideas and generally have more fun as a club! Come along and join us for a post-debate social!
