What a car crash the Christmas Q's speech will be.

I have heard she's realised talking about poverty in front of a gold piano isn't the best look. Apparently they've found a silver one to show how much she's having to slum it these days.

What about Fergie's role in all of this? She must have known what was going on. Her debts were continually being paid off because she couldn't live within her means. The pair of them are lazy, feckless and greedy. They also have no morals.
Why didn't she train in something and go and get herself a proper job?

Where did you get that information from Serendipity?

Interested in this thread?

Fergie can hold her hands up and say 'not me...' because she's divorced from PA. She will call her media appearances in the US a proper job, she was a spokesman for Weight Watchers wasn't she...

SunsetBoulevard3 · 01/12/2019 17:23

Yes but she was always in debt...PA was consorting with these sleazy low lives partly because they were paying her debts.

And now it is being reported that he pays 250 a week to rent his 30 room palace and estate, which he (or someone else) spent 7.5 million renovating.

By the way, do the likes of Zara Tindall, etc pay income tax or are they exempt through some Royal decree or other.?

ajandjjmum · 01/12/2019 18:34

They're normal taxpayers like you and I betaboo.

Serendipity..but yes it is in my experience and everyone else here
I’ve lived the whole of the Queens reign
They slumped following the death of Diana but affection ( let’s not call it love) for the two princes and no one alive at the time will ever forget those two young boys walking behind their mothers coffin..a huge publicity stunt and should never have happened but it gained the RF some popularity points because who in their right minds was going to deny those lovely young men their birthright in the wake of their mothers death.

That would just be too cruel

This however is something else and has the potential to topple them all.
No one likes to be taken for a mug and the british public are opening their eyes to the fact that we have been deluded for decades..

Yes there’s been reporting of how much this refurbishment costs and that protection costs but now we are looking at a who,e new ball game.

The most elevated family in the land Dont only have feet of clay ..they have shoes of concrete.

And I’ve said it more than once on this thread...you can blame years of austerity for this.

We have been squeezed till the pips squeak and we are not prepared to turn a blind eye and give them a free pass.

Too many honest , decent parents are turning themselves inside out to provide food, warmth and shelter. They are like ships that pass-in the night in order to do this. The toll it must take on family life is beyond my comprehension

I’m a dinosaur from an era where one mans wage supported a family.
My mum never worked till I was 18.
To see these freeloading creatures living off the fat of the land Who think they are above you and I makes my blood boil ....they are not worthy enough to lick the shoes of you hardworking parents.

It will take more than a bit of flag waving at an entitled women’s wedding to make this shit show ok

Someone has upset their puppet master and they are out for blood.

I'm glad the Daily Mail is keeping the heat on this story. Wonder what their game is?

CathyorClaire · 01/12/2019 19:02

DM now reporting an anonymous source as claiming PA has been in constant contact with Ghislaine Maxwell by phone and email.

SerendipityJane · 01/12/2019 19:12

Where did you get that information from Serendipity?

I just made it up. far easier than spending a lot of time, effort and money on rigorous research that will only be accepted by one side and rejected by the other without any further action.

I can see why the Tories do it so much.

After all, not a word I write - true or otherwise - is ever going to change anyones minds ....

Avoiding stuff to do with the election?

Emily Maitlis asked him when he was last in contact, I think he said earlier in the year.... that could mean anything.

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/12/2019 22:09

@Dowser not only is it the Mail but it's the Mail quoting the Daily Star as a source!

rhubarbcrumbles · 01/12/2019 22:46

It's bound to be true then with them the epitome of honest journalist an' all

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/12/2019 20:59

Well this thread is going to fill up in the next hour or so...

thenightsky · 02/12/2019 21:13

Horrible man, sat there smirking in that video.

thenightsky · 02/12/2019 21:27

Nobody else watching Panorama then.

VG comes across as totally convincing. Especially when they cut to clips of the Prince Andrew interview. The contrast between to the two!

TrixieFranklin · 02/12/2019 21:28

Bet he's sweaty now

MysweetAudrina · 02/12/2019 21:29

I agree. She is definitely coming across more authentic than PA.

nononever · 02/12/2019 21:33

I didn't watch his interview but watching this one. She is definitely coming across more truthful than him.

onalongsabbatical · 02/12/2019 21:34

Yes, believed her before - sure as hell believe her now.

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/12/2019 21:39

This is pretty damning stuff. Ghislaine M has a lot of questions to answer but will they ever be asked of her?

KimchiLaLa · 02/12/2019 21:41

I do believe her about PA but not this Alan Dershowitz stuff - that sounds ridiculous.
