Alf Bentley Posted 17 November 2019 Share Posted 17 November 2019 The BBC Royal Correspondents are usually super-cautious in what they say about the Royal Family. But they were pretty outspoken about Andrew earlier. They were basically implying that he is widely seen as massively arrogant and lacking in self-awareness, and that this car crash interview comes as no surprise.... They were reckoning that the decision to do the interview would have been taken by Andrew himself, against all advice from Buckingham Palace, media advisers etc. I've only seen excerpts but what I've seen is seriously cringeworthy. What was his word, "unbecoming" to go and stay with a convicted sex offender? And no regrets about his friendship with Epstein as it had brought him benefits and good contacts, or words to that effect?! He'd also better have some records to back these claims about a medical condition preventing him from sweating & that he was definitely in a Pizza Express in Woking on a specific date in 2001.... Mind you, that photo does look a bit dubious to me.....unless he's got a very long left arm, his body shape doesn't look right to have his arm around the girl's waist. I wonder if it was a selfie that's been tampered with? Mind you, he was clearly good mates with Epstein & Ms. Maxwell, and seems to have met the girl....and seems to not take Epstein's conduct seriously, whatever he did or didn't do himself.

pSinatra Posted 17 November 2019 Share Posted 17 November 2019 I can't think the interview could have gone any worse. He would have been better off his advisers storming in & stopping the interview. So much bullshit, it's difficult to know where to start. It was a complete car crash & it has finished him (not that he was very popular or did a lot in the first place). Somehow the royal family need to fvck him off I thought Emily Maitlis was excellent though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 17 November 2019 Share Posted 17 November 2019 Literally had no idea who he was before this came out and wouldn't have recognised him in a million years. For anyone that's still in denial about how toxic privilege and entitlement can be, I hope this makes you think a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HappyHamza Posted 17 November 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 17 November 2019 I read a range of different papers but did naturally gravitate towards the guardian. It's a funny paper. It's commentators spend way too much time on personality politics and I can't really abide owen Jones. But it does do really good investigative journalism - ed Snowdon, Panama papers etc. It also isnt a huge fan of corbyn and doesn't give him anything like a free pass. It isn't like the right wing rags that actively propogate propaganda. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 17 November 2019 Share Posted 17 November 2019 I've not really followed anything about this Prince Andrew/Epstein thing until I heard about the interview and what was going on last night, 'car crash' etc... - What exactly has Prince Andrew done wrong? Is he implicated through what Epstein did? - Is Prince Andrew also a sex-offender but has it just been kept under wraps through being a royal etc? - Did Prince Andrew know about all the offences Epstein committed?

Prince Andrew was allegedly VERY good friends with Epstein. And it is implied that he did participate in sexual intercourse with minors on a regular basis. To your last question: If the allegations turn out to be true (and Prince Andrew has done a very poor job at dispelling them), then the likelihood of himself knowing a lot about the sex trafficking is rather high. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense of the highest order, Prince Andrew never did anything of the sort, he's completely innocent, we know this as fact because he was tucking in to Woking's finest diavolo romana when it all kicked off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebum Posted 18 November 2019 Share Posted 18 November 2019 The ponce Andrew story comes as no surprise when you consider these people are raised to believe they are superior to everyone else. "Born to reign over us". Unfortunately the CROWN courts have always protected their status in this country and prevented them from seeing the justice they deserve. Rumors have circulated for as long as I can remember not just about Andrew but a lot of the others. FBI files identified Lord Mountbatten as a pedophile with a perversion for young boys in school uniform. Mountbatten, the uncle of Phillip and erm, 'cousin' of Elizabeth, was described by Charles as the 'grandfather I never had' and 'mentor'. Groomer would probably be more appropriate. Seems Mountbatten passed this love down well to Charles, who became big mates with Savile. Surrounded by secret services and now 100% fact that it was well known what uncle Jimmy was doing way back to the 70's. On Savile's 80th birthday, Charles sent Savile a nice box of cigars and a card which read "Nobody will ever know what you have done for this country" Cryptic. There seems to have always been this smoke around the royal family, is there any fire, I think so, Andrew is just one of many in my view, sorry to go slightly off subject, but I thoroughly detest this inbred bunch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
