Despite his villainous behaviour, anyone feel a teeny bit sorry for Andrew?

I see a man who has +/- 30 years left with not a clue of what he's done wrong.

Anyone with a smidge of awareness and humility would have dedicated themselves to genuine charity work – after voluntarily giving up all the information he had – the moment they knew the game was up, and if he didn't, the Queen should have left him in no doubt that he had no other option. He didn't, she didn't. He has to live with the consequences now.

No.

"Misconduct in public office." Yet to be proved, of course, but it seems beyond doubt that he passed over confidential govt info to his rich mate in America. I feel so angry. He's let his country down.

We know he is - and we can know that

Yes, I actually do a bit. Not because I don't think he deserves it but he's clearly dim and mentally unwell and I wonder if he's just not clever enough to understand and therefore be fully responsible for what he's done. And it's hard seeing anyone looking so absolutely broken even if they deserve it.

But whatever smidgen of something like pity I feel for him is hugely outweighed by sympathy for his victims and fury.

No. ‘He’s in his FAFO era’, as my teens would say.

Oh gosh…any other person could have down that - it didn’t need him

he is gross

Course not, theres all his teddies.

No, absolutely not. Paedo Scumbag

Oh come on - he’s hardly innocent being taken advantage of
he kept going and kept going and had no thought for anyone but himself

gross

I doubt he'll be at home by himself on his birthday

Yes I do slightly, he really did his bit in the RN during the Falklands conflict, he deserves respect for that, but sadly he’s made some very bad choices. I just feel saddened that as part of our RF he didn’t have more decorum.

Are you also with Alison Hammond who suggested they could have avoided arresting him on his birthday? Feel sorry for him? I couldn’t be further from that statement.

I was abused as a child, I haven't gone on to commit any crimes as an adult, so no, I don't have any sympathy for him.

There may well be other men with the potential to act as badly as he has if only they had access to similar resources. So I can see that the freedom privilege gave him might also have been his downfall.

I don't feel sorry for him, I'll save my sympathy for victims. That said, I imagine hes a manchild who was spoilt, indulged and feted over. That kind of environment was bound to make him arrogant and he probably didn't think initially anything of the how's and whys of young girls being presented at parties, after all, he was Randy Andy, heartthrob, pin up prince, war hero, in the 70s to early 80s..once that faded, he he was just a grubby middle aged bloke but in his head still the young stud.
He probably started to realise eventually, but arrogance and ego overrode any doubt but by then there was enough on him to be subject to coercion himself.
Becoming a Trade envoy was ludicrous, he had no skills for it and limited intellect. Of course, he was going to screw it up.
The RF, the advisors, the courtiers and senior civil service are as culpable as he is.
I think hes the distraction from bigger fish in business, city, legal and celebrity.

No. I couldn't care less, he deserves everything that is coming his way

You don't know that for sure. I wish people wouldn't take their own thoughts as truth. It's just what you think. And she was a woman when she died...not a girl.

I feel very uncomfortable about it because, as others have said, he seems to be the fall guy for the whole despicable affair, and is probably a bit player. No one in the US is going to face any kind of consequences. I feel strangely pissed off that only British people are being punished for the malevolent deeds of this American bastard. And I don’t even like any of them!

Agree. He absolutely should be held to account but where are all the others? There's literally thousands of pages of documents, I find it hard to believe hes the only one they've got any dirt on.

He hasnt been arrested for sex offences its misconduct in public office

Not at all.

You don’t have to be taught to know that other people are as human as you are.

If you act as thought it’s fine to see other humans as play things, you can’t blame your upbringing or privilege. It should be obvious that everyone is human.

No

unless convicted then no hes not,

No

He’s a peadophile who abused young girls and ruined their lives how on earth can you think like this?
