Florentine_Pogen Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 An utterly dreadful human being. That interview literally could not have gone any worse for him.Maybe if Maitlis had pulled out a 10” chef’s knife and plunged it into Nonce’s neck..........Even back in 1984, Johnny Carson had Nonce Andrew’s card marked..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only started sweating again recently! - for f**k sake how stupid do you think we are! Also the Pizza Express thing? How do you remember where you were on a random night 8 years ago! For a royal I don't think that would be too difficult - he'd have staff to keep diaries of his activities and police security would surely be a matter of public record. For me the fact that he just can't come up with corroboration either from the "Henrietta's" who I assume would be happy to say "Yah Beatrice/Eugenie were there with their pops" or the security forces despite having six months to blow this particular allegation out of the water makes me inclined to disbelieve him - but maybe that's conformational bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All eerily similar to the aftermath of when Saville was outed: so many subtle hints, and not so subtle digs by those in the media about his horrid actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 If the Americans want him to go over there and testify under oath, maybe we could do a swap deal and we get, oh, let’s say, a diplomat’s wife who killed someone then fcuked off to the States under their husband’s diplomatic immunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them we've declared war on Germany, that usually puts them off for a couple of years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Vanity Fair , August 2011https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2011/08/prince-andrew-201108“With the prospect of even further humiliation to her and her son, the Queen decided to intervene by employing the most potent instrument at her command: royal symbolism. She summoned Andrew to Windsor Castle and in a private ceremony invested him with the insignia of a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, the highest possible honor for “personal service” to the Queen. From now on, Prince Andrew will be entitled to use the letters G.C.V.O. after his name and wear a red-white-and-blue sash complete with the order’s star-shaped insignia, made from sterling silver, silver gilt, and enamel. Under the protection of the Queen, Prince Andrew was untouchable.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Andrew negotiated for 9 months with Epstein to ask him to pay off £15k of his wife’s debt.Sounds legit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 He should have kept shtum and hoped the allegations would get lost in the maelstrom of conspiracy theories floating about, true or not. Raising another pizza connection was very unwise unless he can prove it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shotgun Posted November 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2019 When Prince Baldy married Kate, an American colleague of mine took the day off work so she could watch the television coverage. Given that her Facebook posts suggest she's virulently opposed to the concept of taxation, I asked her why, when the British poor were being crushed by austerity, such colossal public expenditure on something so unnecessary didn't bother her. Predictably, like most conservatives, she was just fine with tax dollars being spent on the rich - it's only when they're spent to help the poor that her Randian principles are invoked. "But don't you think it's just wonderful that a commoner can marry into the Royal Family?" she gushed. Well no. No, I don't. The very word "commoner" is disgusting. For me, it sums up everything that's wrong with our society and culture. This notion that rich people are definition, better than the rest of us and therefore entitled to special treatment. Not because they work hard, or do good with what they've been given, or are decent human beings. Not because they've done a damn thing to deserve it, but just because they were born rich. Laws, responsibilities, social norms of behaviour, none of those apply. Until we as a society move past this hero worship of the rich, our obsession with celebrity, our unwillingness to question the notion that rich people are our betters, then these vermin will continue to treat "commoners" as their playthings. And they'll continue to get away with it. Sadly, I don't see things changing any time soon. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Jeezo, was up north and missed the latest on the Nonce Family. This is cringeworthy... The silver lining maybe that Sevco fans will stop using child abuse as a football taunt at Celtic fans. Though they might also be too thick to realise that their beloved Royals and London govt have been trading in kids' misery for a long, long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Epstein was invited to a masked ball by Andrew in 2006. The theme of the evening was 1888. This is all Celtic's fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst you are right, and I have used the sites colour beaaed reaction system to indicate my approval, I would offer one slight foil to that, and its rare I give social media any credit but this is an example where it does do good. No one is above negative publicity anymore. It allows a tidal wave of pressure to be applied until entities like the BBC are compelled to put it into the mainstream, which gives us the weekends interview. The guy in question put on the spot, and making an arse of himself. Of course on the flip side it can lead to witch hunts and trial by media which isnt great, but if a scandal is big enough, there are less hiding places and cover ups available than ever before because literally everyone has a voice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
