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

[T & P]

This has been said ITT already, but as well as being a thoroughly unpleasant human being he also seems to be thick as pigshit and/or too arrogant for his own good.

There have been plenty of instances of rich and powerful wrong’uns going before a panel/ trial or answering the press, and whereas in many cases it was an unwinnable task, at least they had the common sense to hire a team of advisors to coach and prepare them for the grilling laying ahead of them and limit the damage as much as possible.

This pretentious twat however not only ignored the advice of every of his advisers warning against the folly of doing the interview in the first place, but clearly dived in without any preparation whatsoever and thought he was clever enough to just wing it and produce a convincing performance just by his wits.

I wonder how his kids feel. It’d be interesting to hear their answer if asked if they can corroborate the Pizza Express story..

The Queen has cancelled a party she had planned to host for Prince Andrew and his charities to mark his 60th birthday in February and is understood to be intending to hold only a small family dinner.

The move comes as the Duke of York is preparing to give up all his charity commitments in a sign that he is unlikely ever to resume royal duties. In addition, American officials are examining procedures for a formal FBI interview with Andrew in Britain. A source close to the duke said he would be “happy to co-operate”.

There is renewed optimism from the FBI that he can provide “very unique and helpful insights” into the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal, according to sources in the US Department of Justice.

A week after the duke’s disastrous interview with BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis, more than 20 charities have already severed ties with him. He is expected to resign from up to 160 more within days.

Penny Junor, the royal author, said: “He’s absolutely finished. If Andrew is no longer representing or supporting the monarch in any capacity, or doing good charitably, what’s the point of him?”

Buckingham Palace said he would maintain his military affiliations for now, but would not take part in any events.

There are already signs of concern in military ranks about the duke, whose retreat from public life has been rapid. “Some of the regiments will find it a bit awkward having Andrew on their Christmas card,” said a palace source.

Another source close to the duke said he wanted his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to take over his patronage roles.

It emerged yesterday that, contrary to reports, the Queen never gave her approval to the television interview. She is said to be “privately supportive” of Andrew but “deeply frustrated” that the scandal is overshadowing the work of the rest of the family.

It’s good that it’s not really his alleged noncery that is the thing bringing him down here, but him outing himself as an arrogant liar who treats us plebs with utter contempt. Hopefully most of our fellow subjects will realise that this Randy Andy isn’t an outlier royal, this is the attitude of all of them, it has to be for them to assume their roles. And that realisation will hasten the day the guillotines are erected in Trafalgar Square.

What's with princes and their friendships with sexual abusers?

Barry Duke in the Freethinker ruminates on the similarities between Andrew's connection with Epstein, and Charles' ‘misguided’ friendship with Peter Ball, the former Bishop of Lewes, then Gloucester, who was jailed for 32 months for abusing young men, and whom Charles supported.

And Savile who was their mate of course.

These are people taken from their mothers and put through highly abnormal schooling. The ruling class abuse their own so they may go into the world and abuse others.

Looks like Android had a secret meeting with the Ghis creature in June:

That fits with one comment I saw on his now infamous interview, that it wouldn't have happened unless he thought there was still more details (and damning details) to come out.

It's satisfying that he really has got no one fighting his corner.

I wondered about that: 'oh, yah, I remember that night well. Mumsy was out and she and HRH had this rule where if One is out of One's house the other One will be in in One's house, yah? And okay, yah, HRH took One and my sister, the other One, on that imaginary trip to, gasp, ha ha, Woking, yah! And Pater took a call from some chap from the colonies arranging £15,000 for Mumsy. Hang on, was that the bit I'm supposed to mention or not mention? Gosh, it's so difficult being interviewed! Yah?'

'i mean, gosh, really, Woking, Pater? Windsor, or Maidenhead at a push. Couldn't possible have gone to Woking, not even if one were dead. That's the most humiliating aspect, of this whole saga, that the oiks think one actually goes to such places'

Let's get Woking done

The whole Woking thing was actually a sitcom style misunderstanding when somebody heard something about the 'Duke of Woke' and reached entirely the wrong conclusion. With hilarious consequences, and a special posho snort version of a laughter track.

From the posh accent I'm convinced that the first caller was actually Brenda herself.
Been to see my in-laws today (FiL's birthday last week) and when Chief Petty Officer (Rtd) Stroppy Scouser refers to a member of the Royal Family and far more importantly a former Naval Officer as 'A F*cking Nonce' then I'm pretty sure than Andy boy's credibility has hit rock bottom

"I'd rather be dead in a ditch than go to Woking"

That’s the cleverness of the bluff, nobody would usually admit to going to Woking so you’d assume it must be true.

 

[Orang Utan]

Apparently the hill he marches up and down has now erected fencing to prevent him from doing so again.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well, it would seem he has another hill to die on now.

 

[Wilf]

Blimey!

When you see something like that posted you think, 'oh, I'm sure he didn't really get 3 proper 'mad' callers in a row, I'm sure it can't be as wild as all that'. But it was.

A while back I was wondering who would step up to defend him. These three are right up there with that M'Lady Colin Campbell. 4 intrepid clowns who tread where even Katy Hopkins dare not.

 

[elbows]

The profit motive.

 

[Don Troooomp]

Since the queen has cancelled his birthday party, do you think we should all chip in to take him out for a pizza?

 

[Poi E]

We already chip in for the fuckers.

 

[clicker]

I think Andrew is the only Royal I've had the pleasure to witness totally and irrevocably self implode. It's interesting times. It'll be a source of light relief in the exam room in 2119.
But they've got to implode at a rate faster than once in my lifetime, otherwise we'll never get shot of them.

"I'd rather be dead in a ditch than go to Woking"

Ditches are of course the curse of the Woking classes.

should have kept him inside the fencing

 

[dessiato]

The Prince has really lost a lot of respect. I'd like to say I feel very sorry for him.

But I prefer not to lie.
