It looks to me that he's been told to settle in order to save his maw from embarrassment during her Jubilee celebrations

He's been told to settle because he is a nonce and would have lost in court anyway

One of the above will be the official line and the other is the truth

Reading that the queen will assist with paying the settlement worth over 12M aka we are all paying for this beast, get these scrounging c***s into the sea.

I've been hearing this a lot but exactly how will we be paying?  It's not like Liz sends us a bill every year.  I'm pretty sure she gets an annual allowance and I very much doubt she will suddenly bump up her allowance.  

She'll be funding the payout from her private wealth.

The queen doesn't have private wealth.

As a tax payer will she be ticking the Gift aid box? 
Ah, not a UK charity.

And where does this allowance and private wealth come from if it's not from the tax payer?

Quote

he Queen has a private income from her personal investment portfolio,[35] though her personal wealth and income are not known.[40] Jock Colville, a former private secretary to the Queen (when she was Princess Elizabeth) and a director of her bank, Coutts, estimated her wealth at £2 million in 1971 (the equivalent of about £29 million today).[41][42] An official statement from Buckingham Palace in 1993 called estimates of £100 million "grossly overstated".[43] In 2002, she inherited her mother's estate, thought to have been worth £70 million[44] (the equivalent of about £116 million today).[41] Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle are privately owned by the Queen.[45]

Forbes magazine estimated the Queen's net worth at around $500 million (about £325 million) in 2011,[46] while an analysis by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index put it at $425 million (about £275 million) in 2015.[47] In 2012 the Sunday Times estimated the Queen's wealth as being £310 million ($504 million), and that year the Queen received a Guinness World Record as Wealthiest Queen.[48] The Sunday Times Rich List 2015 estimated her wealth at £340 million, making her the 302nd richest person in the United Kingdom; that was the first year she was not among the Sunday Times Rich List's top 300 most wealthy since the list began in 1989.[49] She was number one on the list when it began in 1989,[49] with a reported wealth of £5.2 billion, which included state assets that were not hers personally,[50] (approximately £13.2 billion in today's value).[41]

It'll be tucked away somewhere on her expenses - we'll be paying for it.

Seems like he's been hanging about with unsavoury charachters too, monarchy is by its nature corrupt.

Acht, this is where we are still at.

If we happen to be holders of a UK passport and examine the not so small print, you will find that we are subjects of the monarch, and not citizens of a country. 

Many might describe this situation as being an unsatisfactory state of affairs. 

No it doesn't.

A British subject is a completely different designation from a British citizen
