Don't bet on that - sweating might be exactly where they'll go with that one. The Roy Hattersley puppet used pump water out of its mouth in a cruel mockery of his speech impediment and the Rupert Murdoch puppet used to spout blazing farts from its rear end in an accurate depiction of Rupert's own capabilities 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,402 Posted August 15, 2021 The Queen is underwriting Andrew’s legal fees. Sorry, to put that another way, the Queen has decided that UK taxpayer should pay The Grand Old Nonce of York’s legal fees. Disgusting. Anyway, tune in next week for another episode of Why The Shimmering Fuck Do We Still Have The Monarchy? where my guest will probably be creepy Uncle Andy again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst I don't feel comfortable with it either, can we just take a deep breath and remind ourselves that 1) he's not being accused of anything first hand, 2) he's innocent of having colluded with/known about anything until it is proven otherwise, 3) the primary accuser has already been caught out for major inconsistencies in her stories, including on the dates and how old she was when she met Andrew (likely 17 – NOT a child). I agree he should go to the U.S. to assist the FBI, and I think it's now becoming unavoidable – he will have to go, but this case has been exaggerated and sensationalised in the media beyond all reason because of who he is. By comparison, we've just had the conclusions to several reports of abuse within local authorities/care homes across the country, with damning findings related to consistent abuse of small children over decades, and some of the perpetrators are still alive and out there. Barely any media coverage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst I am in no way defending Prince Andrew when you say The British Tax Payer will be paying this it is not as though any extra money will be going on it. The Queen will find it out of the vast sums she has including the civil list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barely any media coverage. This girl was still below the age of consent where she was, and legally she was a child until she was 18. But that aside, she alleges that she trafficked to the UK so Andrew could have sex with her. Serious allegation, and Andrew is refusing to cooperate, apparently because he’s “scared jurors won’t believe him”. That smacks of dodgy. And what’s also really troubling is the lengths to which people will defend him, despite knowing even less of his side of the story than the victim, all because he’s a royal. The whole thing stinks. And by the whole thing, I don’t just mean this case in isolation. I absolutely agree about the bold bit though, the lack of coverage about this is also deeply troubling. Doesn’t let Andrew off the hook, mind, but it’s another very serious series of crimes that are pretty much getting ignored. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a big difference between being a "child" as in a legal minor, and a child in terms of physical development. I feel very strongly that when sexual matters are involved, this line should not be blurred. A child in sexual terms is one who has not reached puberty, and sexual abuse of pre-pubescent children is unspeakably vile. To be attracted to and/or have sex with a physically mature teenager, on the other hand, is natural. We are programmed by nature to reproduce, and when we are old enough to do so we become physically capable and attractive to the opposite sex. Some people mature earlier than others, and the "age of consent" is an imperfect concept that varies around the world. Stop labelling people who are attracted to desirable, physically mature teenagers as "nonces" or "paedophiles". Save those terms for the repellent perverts who get their jollies from abusing babies and young children. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She may have been barely 17 but probably could have passed for 13 or 14 which could be why she was being shipped & shopped around. While your point is valid, if she had been 18 (not much older than his daughters were at the time) his Randy Andy act might have been less abhorrent - although Fergie won't hear a word aginst him & says he discusses football with his babygrandchild.

I don't know if you've heard of a lady called Lady Colin Campbell but she has made these exact some arguments and points on her YouTube channel . Like yourself she is a stickler on people using the correct and most accurate words both scientifically and more generally factually, linguistically, legally etc. She deplores sloppy words and sloppy thinking so goodness knows how much of her she'd pull out if visited this forum!!

Yes, I'm aware of this person. It does trouble me to see perfectly natural instincts branded as perversions simply because of a slight variation in local laws. It is lazy, ignorant thinking. This isn't simply about Prince Andrew, we see it all the time. We regularly have similar discussions about inoffensive song lyrics. People seem to be obsessed with underage sex. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think in fairness they did not name a particular member of the royal family who made the alleged racist comments. I would be reluctant to regard an allegation as serious if they won't name a culprit. But if they HAVE named the alleged culprit privately then they could also have dealt with the issue privately and we know nothing about it. So can you fairly say it has been brushed under the carpet? I would say no. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
