Prince Andrew, Duke of York, named in underage 'sex slave' lawsuit

[Serge Forward]

Good grief. Can we go back to talking about Nonce Andrew please?

 

[two sheds]

I'd like to hear more about Ken.

 

[equationgirl]

He's accepted he's been served the papers so am guessing the lawyers finally got through to him.

I suspect the trick is to find customers who are spending someone else's money.

I've long since given up despairing at the proliferation of pointless middlemen who make more money than I ever will. TBH I wish I didn't have a conscience, then I too could get a slice of the contracting a subcontractor to contract a subcontractor to get an agent to hire a consultant to get someone to wipe the arse of someone who can't be arsed to do it themselves business.

What you are failing to understand is that many people are happy to pay people to do the mundane shit in life. Arranging travel is boring. If you have someone whom you trust to get you a decent deal (not the best) and who will take a fee that you approve of, why not use me? Enough people do see things that way. You wouldn’t but then you and Magnus McGinty are not in any danger of being in a position to call upon my services.

 

[keybored]

If anyone has been exploited here it is you for paying your taxes to fund Ken’s alcohism.

Is Ken really an alcohic?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Where is you ‘rich’ line?

Good question. Another one to ask is where is your ‘poor’ line?

I hope I'm not the only one who read the second post here as a response to the first

What actually happens now in this civil case. I’m guessing he can’t be compelled to give evidence or a defence in camera. If that is the right word. So they find against him in his absence. Then?

 

[xenon]

Nonce Andrew obviously not Ken. Who is a stand-up guy, who likes a drink, apparently.

 

[_Russ_]

OK, Who is this Ken you speak of?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I think I preferred this thread when it was about the rain...

Yeah sorry for derail, sometimes you can make what you think is a minor dig and then be bogged down for hours. Best we stick to looking at the paedo Prince though I think.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Barbie's boyfriend.

 

[maomao]

Bass player out of Bros.

Multi-talented is Ken

I came here for updates on His Royal Nonce, got loads of notifications, and all I find is tedious shite

My guess is that, having failed to deny service, he'll initially try to have the claim struck out on some procedural grounds e.g. jurisdiction or the settlement in the Epstein case, and, if that fails, he'll have to decide whether to defend the substance of the case or not. If he does, he'd be effectively accepting the court's jurisdiction, which would make it very hard for him the prevent any judgement against him being enforced in the UK, and it'd mean the public airing of much dirty laundry. If he doesn't defend it, judgement will be entered against him by default; that'd be a stain on his character - effectively a court ruling that he's a nonce - but would mean it would be very hard for her to actually get hold of any of his assets.

. If he doesn't defend it, judgement will be entered against him by default; that'd be a stain on his character.

Would it even be possible to defame him at this stage.

 

[Athos]

Quite. Which is why he might prefer to allow judgement to be entered, keep any other skeletons in the closet and protect his assets, since he's no chance of salvaging his reputation, now, anyway.

You subscribe to threads? People actually do that? LOL

Most likely outcome.

Only ones that are about Royal nonces. and a cookery one.

 

[Athos]

Most likely outcome.

Yes, unless he can settle cheaply without admitting liability.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Hard to guess whatll happen though, as nobody would ever have expected that interview to happen. Maybe he's so thick and privileged that he thinks hell do an O. J.

If he does not sweat, you must forget.

Then he probably has an accident of the surprisingly fatal kind.

 

[steveseagull]

This is inconvenient

 

[TopCat]

but he met and hung out with him after he was convicted of child sex offences, that was the question he was asked in the clip?

The key issue which he evaded really badly, no moral compass at best, filthy kiddy nonce rapist at worst.

 

[TopCat]

If he was a leader in such things at Microsoft then I see no reason to conclude he simply joined in as a participant rather than being an organiser

I can see you post revolution comrade, staring down your magisterial glasses as you make comments like this.

 

[TopCat]

Forget the gambling. Just charge people a tenner a time to beat bookmakers.

im in.
