PA for example was presumably accompanied by armed protection officers.

AnyMinuteNow · 04/12/2019 19:45

why didn't they leave

OMGoddess! For real? People still don't get it, still, even after all the knowledge and education thats around that another woman doesn't understand this.

Yes, its complex, but blimey, I thought we'd come a lot further than this.

Next question, why did she allow it...

Exploitation anyone? Grooming? AKA brainwashing, personality anihilation, fear, and on and on

I wonder if all the girls made it out in such good shape as to go on to successfully marry or even made it out without killing themselves.

So, do we also think that GM was the driving force here Confused. The one with the penis having underage sex, raping. Yeah, it was probably all GM.

Something else people don't get.

'Why didn't they just leave?' Good God, are you really this naive and uninformed?

If a child had been heavily coached to play, say, a musical instrument from a young age you could reasonably expect them to be proficient playing that instrument, wouldn't you?

Well, if a girl has been coached from a young age to believe she was worthless, and useless, and that sexual abuse was normal and to be expected, it's not hard to work out that she'd meekly go along with being abused as a teenager, is it?

Interested in this thread?

Ilove the comments in dm about PC and PP reading PA the riot act as though this was done in front of a DM journalist.
I’m all for getting to the bottom of this story...and so want the truth to come out for VR sake and all the other women caught up in this abuse and also to investigate just how the British nation has been mugged by people who aren’t fit for purpose..but please spare us the titillation just to sell papers.

I mean we are talking about one proven cheater of his marriage vows, one who has had a lot of allegations and rumours throughout his very long marriage...so I do think the riot act was going to be more along the lines of...so you’ve been a naughty boy then...here’s the carpet, here’s the brush..now get sweeping.

However..when it threatens the very future of the institution from which they’ve all mades magnificent living that we can only guess and dream about I think the gloves would ve been off and some harsh words would’ve been said.

I don’t think that would’ve been a conversation in front of a lackey ...do you?

However, I do think the palace machinery could’ve leaked this bit of a non story to appease the public and also to prevent any booing and hissing whenever they make a public appearance.

However...unless you were actually there..who knows?

Didn't PC have some dodgy relationship with some paedo cardinal? Pot calling kettle black springs to mind without even going into his extra curricular activities with the Duchess whilst married to Diana.

how the British nation has been mugged by people who aren’t fit for purpose
Grin LOL

Puzzledandpissedoff · 05/12/2019 20:51

Actually it was a bishop ChristmasAngst, and the circumstances were so serious that even the official enquiry criticised Charles:

You're spot on about "pot and kettle" too - it's always surprised me when folk suggest Charles will "read the riot act" to his brother, considering Andrew probably knows a great deal about him too

paradyning · 06/12/2019 05:26

Weren't there logs of PC on the plane?

Dowser · 06/12/2019 21:11

Someone please check this ( and tell me I’m wrong)

PA had 5 security people with him On a trip to the cinema

betaboo · 06/12/2019 21:14

Dowser, your are not wrong. I am sure they are all totally tied in to non disclosure contracts, I wonder if the courts can override those.

Dowser · 06/12/2019 21:44

Good lord..talk about overkill

A forensic analyst needs to put this whole shebang under the microscope and see just where our money went

5 people to look after an idiot like him...I’m furious

Keep digging DM

If PA were plain Andy Winser, Pub Landlord, he'd lose his license for selling vodka and coke to an underage girl. No matter how much she 'consented'. No matter how much he thought she was older.
It's not that complicated really

DianaT1969 · 07/12/2019 01:06

What do we think about the strong rumour that a member of the Royal Family is gay, but that it isn't the one you would expect? Do these allegations of sleeping with trafficked women suggest it isn't Andrew? Obviously I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a member of the RF being gay, I've just seen the comments about PA's behaviour in the Navy etc.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 07/12/2019 04:46

Lots and lots of people covering up for Andy. There must be so many people who know the truth.

It's not relevant surely?

WineOrGinOrBoth · 07/12/2019 06:39

@DianaT1969 the rumour that PA is gay has been doing the rounds for years. I first heard it in 1989/90.

DianaT1969 · 07/12/2019 07:29

MoominB, yes not relevant. Only that I thought it was PA.
Being gay isn't an issue.

ginyogarepeat · 07/12/2019 08:54

You need to start a new thread @SunsetBoulevard3 ....

SamanthaBrique · 07/12/2019 08:59

There is of course the possibility that his press team put the gay story out to deflect from his more unsavoury antics. Because then you'd get people saying "he can't be sleeping with underage girls if he's gay" etc.

Dowser · 07/12/2019 09:27

That rumour has gone around all the three princes.

ajandjjmum · 07/12/2019 09:31

Could be Anne? Not that it matters.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 07/12/2019 09:53
