Prince (not) Andrew arrested.

I know that actually, hence ‘just’ being in inverted commas. I should have been clearer about that. I was meaning in the event it was ‘just’ about misconduct in public office and not about rape/SA.

I think it will be some form of justice for the Epstein survivors if he gets convicted of misconduct and has to go to jail. Or even face the humiliation of being put on trial in this country.

However, I wonder whether AMW will be persuaded to reveal all about Epstein in exchange for lesser charges pertaining to misconduct charges? Will Mandelson, who I’m sure knows more than he says about Epstein’s activities?

I wish Virginia Giuffre were here to see this moment.

The statement from her family was very moving, let's hope he actually does face justice.

Someone was saying that he could get away with it by sayingvhe wasnt in ' public office' but he was a working member of the RF who had been given a role, and was apparently being 'paid' by QEII. So again, how can the Royals say they are not a 'public office" while they take taxpayers money on that basis and they were paying him to do that job? If AMW uses that defence its evidence of yet more ' too complicated' arrangements the Royals have where they are one thing when it suits them and another thing when it doesnt. Time we found out exactly who was involved in all this by releasing the TE documents. I suspect there is an awful lot in them about QEII ignoring warnings and advice re AMW in this role.

Anne must have been convicted under the dangerous dogs act without being arrested for that to be true - I genuinely have no idea if that’s possible, maybe it is because she admitted it?

The BBC did also say he’d be the first royal in court which is incorrect so I’m not entirely sure how accurate they are on this one.

Accuracy is important and peddling this load of crap is not accurate. When the poor victim went missing The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince was at Balmoral in front of many witnesses. She was found at Sandringham a good while later, over a mile from the main house and therefore nowhere near TAFKP's mansion which is in a different county, the other side of London. Police arrested two men but unfortunately did not have enough evidence to charge them. She was most likely murdered elsewhere and dumped in the middle of nowhere. Sandringham estate is vast and crossed by several public roads. Anybody can go there.
I am sure we all hope that TAFKP is charged with many reprehensible things and then duly convicted. Muddying the process with nonsense is not going to help. Please stop.

The BBC really should tell us the increase in licence fee is due to investment in part 2 of Emily Maitlis interviewing the honourable A #Imworthit M-W in custody.

This:

It's just laborious expensive work but there's little chance of permanently getting rid of something from a device.

He's been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, ie sharing sensitive information with Epstein. I doubt any police officers would have been aware of the content of his emails.

The BBC have just said that Buckingham palace and the King were not told in advance about Andrew’s arrest, which is interesting.

The law around paying for sex with trafficked persons whether you know they are trafficked or not came in in 2010. But payment would have to made.

The law around having sex with a trafficked person, whether you knew they were trafficked or not and whether payment was received or not came in in 2015.

So he'd have to have eligible offences after those dates.

Prior to that the sexual offences act 2003 recognised all persons engaged in paid sex worker aged 16 and 17 were victims of abuse rather than being prostitutes as they would have been deemed as before but the laws were around penalties for people causing them to be engaged in acts of sex work, the pimps and traffickers, not individuals paying for sex with 16 or 17 year olds who could easily say they thought they were over 18 anyway.

You've got to start somewhere.

👏

Now if only we in the US could join in.

The birthday arrest is the gift that keeps on giving....

Class!! 😂

Apparently he was expecting a delivery from Pizza Express and was shocked to find the old bill when the butler answered the door.

All we need now is the men in white coats turning up for the orange man baby in the white house, .....but seriously how has trump stayed out of this clusterf**k whilst everyone else is drowning??...is it some kind of genius??

Just saw this in the Daily Mail coverage

"Policing commentator Danny Shaw told Radio 5 Live that arresting Andrew at his home, instead of inviting him in for an interview, is a departure from standard practice for historical allegations. 'Making an arrest carries the element of surprise, the person's not expecting it,' he said, adding: 'Carrying out the arrest enables them to do searches on the spot.'"

AW has been detained at His Majesty’s pleasure...

Priceless!!

And he’s got a reservation at pizza express for tonight !

He’s spent enough years being ‘666’ and hell is too good for him and the likes of him.

What a sub-human POS he and the others are. Total depravity. Those poor innocent victims, their suffering was and is unimaginable.

According to the BBC, he’s the first modern member of the Royal Family to have been arrested.

I love how he has been arrested on his birthday.

I hope something actually comes of his arrest, though I doubt it…

I don't know... something feels different this time.

🔥 😆 🤣

Almost nobody is cover enough to know how to clean up their devices of certain illegal activities. There are teams that look forensically at devices and find all sorts. You think you’re permanently deleting your history, permanently destroying your hard drive etc but it’s all useless. That’s why he’s fucked, if it’s true that about him sharing ‘material’ with Epstein.
