A lot of the things in the statement analysis seem a bit of a stretch and could be an American not being used to British understatement such as saying "a bit of a stretch" instead of "wildly speculative and unfounded in scientific evidence".

Not suggesting the man's innocent, but I do think some of the conclusions are perhaps a bit speculative (that's Britspeak again).

LittleSweet So sorry to hear about what happened to you and that the video was triggering Flowers I am so glad that most people are believing the victims. Rumour is that there is currently a Grand Jury sitting in the US with an appointed Prosecutor and over 1000 sealed indictments (arrest warrants). A judge is set to rule soon whether more of Virginia Guiffre testimony/documents can be unsealed. The Prosecutor who gave Epstein such a ridiculously low sentence in 2008 resigned earlier this year www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article233668342.html. Fingers crossed that justice is served, I have heard that there are good people within the FBI who have wanted to act previously that were blocked by "higher powers". A lot of the blockages have apparently now been removed🤞🙏

God I hope that his vast wealth's are paid over to compensate for suffering he's caused

Wheres GM? I am baying for blood here over this, him and all the people that he frequently associated with, and those holding such high office
The scum prosecutor thats resigned needs stringing up along with the rest.

The young girls of the world need protecting.

`Shaun Attwood claims Virginia Guiffre is going to add to her interview responding to PA's interview.

Powergower · 28/11/2019 15:41

No sympathy for PP at all. Yes an absolute bigot and a racist. There's no place for bigotry in society and certainly not in the RF which is multi cultural now. Yes led a completely charmed life and has shown arrogance throughout (remember the driving incidents last year?!).

As for PA, well new stories emerging all the time. What an absolute fucking idiot.

As for the victims and peyote saying they're doing it for money, I thought it'd been established that the Herald that the government colluded with Epstein to pay them off and give him a soft sentence without consulting with the victims. In any case, their motivations for reporting are irrelevant. The fact is They were victims of a crime and deserve justice.

That Times article has a paywall - can anyone summarise?

Dowser · 30/11/2019 05:44

It’s all gone a bit quiet since PC returned home.

Damage limitation?

I must admit the PA story certainly overpowered PC and C trip to New Zealand.
PC will be inwardly fuming.

Maybe they are waiting for the interview to be aired.

Dowser · 30/11/2019 05:59

And then there’s this

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7740505/What-DID-Prince-Andrew-pocket-Pitch-Palace.html

Till the PA scandal broke...I knew nothing about the Pitch@Palace affair
When it did come to the public’s attention, I thought how tacky it sounded.
It would appear that I’m not wrong.

MissEliza · 30/11/2019 08:55

@Dowser I've just read that article. It's absolutely disgraceful he was able to use Buckingham Palace in this way. I think there should be an inquiry into the way he's used his title, position and royal residences to make dodgy deals for the low lifes of the business world. Also how much did senior royals know about this?

Roussette · 30/11/2019 09:29

Totally agree MissEliza.

I just hope he isn't able to slip back into Royal life doing this sort of thing, without us noticing. He should scuttle off somewhere and not show his face publically again.

CathyorClaire · 30/11/2019 11:12

I think the current quiet might be the eye of the storm with frantic journalistic digging like the DM story going on in the background. There have long been questions about the discrepancies between Andrew's official income and his spending.

The now extended Panorama programme is likely to re-ignite the controversy. This ain't over by a long shot.

Comradesally · 30/11/2019 11:20

On wondering why bbc has granted another half hour to vr...

AnyMinuteNow · 30/11/2019 15:03

As I understood it sally this was already in the can and PAs was aired first.

Hopefully, VG has had the opportunity to make edits to hers since so that it addresses PAs claims and denials.

Dowser · 30/11/2019 15:17

Glad it’s not just me miss Eliza and rousette who think the royal palaces should not be used for personal gain

It’s all about greed and grabiness..I mean the very title pitch at the palace
Sounds like something a certain duchess would conjure up

‘Oooh Andy this sounds like a real wheeze ‘

Dowser · 30/11/2019 15:23

IF the RF have been robbing us for years, at least they’ve done it in a discreet fashion and most of time we weren’t aware and went along with the..value for Money schtick

Now I feel mugged off and very, very angry.

I want my money back. I want a refund
This institution is not fit for purpose

No I don’t want another one or a replacement or even a different model

Just give me back my money😡😡😡

AnyMinuteNow · 30/11/2019 15:23

Dragons den palace style, marketing, marketing, marketing at any cost

Dowser · 30/11/2019 15:30

As we all know the DM has been doing lots of digging

Just wondered what the opinion is on this cosy twosome

Gross, and blood on his hands consorting with her at this time. I thought she hadn't been seen

This Rachel Chandler?

Omg I’ve never seen such dead fish eyes

Dowser · 30/11/2019 15:37

I don’t think it’s a recent photo anyminute

Dowser · 30/11/2019 15:50

Possibly from a party in 2003.. but not sure

Roussette · 30/11/2019 15:57

I agree... Pitch at the Palace is just so naff. I presume the Queen must've agreed to it, what possessed her???

The website is still up and running... pitchatpalace.com/about/

So so naff. One pic shows two businessmen posing with a soldier with a big furry busby on. It is so obviously a money making concern whereby PA trousers huge amounts of dosh whilst using Buckingham Palace as a backdrop. Very murky. God knows how it came about in the first place. He talked of it like a charity concern, absolutely not, it is networking old boy network money making company.

Dowser · 30/11/2019 16:01

Georgie greig quote in answer to a question re Prince Andrew

How about Prince Andrew, a friend the Mail has hammered over his links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein? He must hate Greig now, I say, while chasing a final few beans round my plate. “Absolutely not. I can tell you that categorically not.” On good authority?

“Pretty good authority.”
