Ditto Jill Dando

AnyMinuteNow · 20/11/2019 19:42

What was jil dandos involvement?

HabbyHadno · 20/11/2019 19:48

Yes, I remember that too. I mean, if you look at it there's a lot of people who were sniffing around that met an untimely death, I think it goes a lot higher up than PA.

Interested in this thread?

They still don’t know why or who killed Jill Dando. Google her and you will find out what she had discovered.

SansaryaAgain · 20/11/2019 20:45

I once worked with someone who was stalked by Barry George. He used to follow her on roller skates so she'd always hear him coming and she was convinced he was innocent as he was far too inept to be a murderer!

Cynical old me wonders
Has a very high up royal phoned the editors of the main rags

Stop the stories and I’ll make him step down.

We will see what tomorrow brings

something2say · 20/11/2019 21:23

It just goes to show...there is zero trust in leading figures, all over the world.

Astrologically, laugh if you will, there are big changes afoot meaning the old ways are falling and I believe it. People and institutions that traditionally we have looked up to are just crumbling. I am waiting for a decent leader to emerge. I desperately hope that things will improve as no one believes in the way things are anymore.

It's absolutely unacceptable that he's withdrawing from public duty 'for the foreseeable'. It should be forever. He never should have been part of public duty. He serves no purpose for country. He is self serving and has no place representing us with his racist and bigoted views. That's even before these new allegations are considered.

He has enough private wealth to take his god awful wife and children and live a life of luxury in private. He should never be allowed to take a single penny from public funds again. I'm so pleased companies have distanced themselves from him, they will have had compelling reasons to do so.

hvnc · 20/11/2019 22:20

Absolutely! Have thought this for a while. Who knows about Diana and Jill Dando but it is very strange.

I think it goes much higher up than we imagine. Just think all the people out there still who know so much and are just sitting on it all. Disgusting.

I don't think we will ever know anywhere near the full extent of it.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/11/2019 22:34

With all the talk of the Westminster paedophile ring etc, a lot of it seemed to centre on how various politicians and even members of the royal family were 'small fry' in comparison to those at the head of the ring. Now if people like a former PM or royal are small fry then who the hell are the big??

viques · 20/11/2019 22:35

I always thought he got money from the civil list but according to the news he is supported privately by funds directly from the queens own stash.

Makes him even more pathetic, so entitled and superior, but relying on mummy as a fifty nine year old father of two. I understand why he and sarah have stayed together for so long, two wastes of oxygen without a work ethic between them, genes they have passed on to their children.

MakeMineALargeProsecco · 20/11/2019 22:37

I don't think the Royal family as an institution will ever recover from this; I think it is really the beginning of the end.

Once the Queen goes, it will continue to decline.

Roussette · 20/11/2019 22:48

I do think the Queen dying will be a turning point yes. I think the RF will carry on but in a very streamlined form.

Itsjustmee · 20/11/2019 22:52

I’ve always thought that Jill Dando was murdered due to finding out about the stuff that we all now know about the BBC - Jimmy Saville and the rest of them
She was a very credible person and very well liked and not one to be dismissed as a fruit cake and crazy lady . She was also a proper journalist not just a celebrity puff writer .
I have long thought that she came across damming evidence and took it to the wrong person and they ( whoever they are ) decided that she needed to be silenced .

MakeMineALargeProsecco · 20/11/2019 22:54

And so it should; there's a lot of hangers on, who fulfil no constructive purpose.

I think Harry & Meghan will go abroad if they are wise.

Charles will have a short reign & William & Kate will do a good job.

And after that, it will be the end, as society will have changed so much that their is no role for George to be King.

^ This. I am v. scornful of conspiracy theories but I think this view about Jill Dando is all too plausible and not smacking of conspiracy at all. I'm sure she had found out stuff (through Crimewatch contacts?) that somebody didn't want made public.

NaomiFromMilkShake · 20/11/2019 23:25

This is funny.

The man in the room next door, allegedly feeding him lines.

It doesn't make any sense does it Queenofthe!
Who exactly is bigger than the royal family or the prime minister?

NormaBean · 20/11/2019 23:39

Who exactly is bigger than the royal family or the prime minister?

I don’t get this either.

AnyMinuteNow · 21/11/2019 00:13

Yes absolutely power he should go live on an island...maybe Wink

No need to take his girls with him, they actually are fighting for good causes, and must be Blush at their fathers behaviour, again.

GrimDamnFanjo · 21/11/2019 00:43

The Mail have a very interesting article which makes it obvious that the York's are funded by his shady pals.
I was shocked to see his allowance compared to his lifestyle.
I hope that's it and he never returns to any of his made up appointments and royal duties.

StartupRepair · 21/11/2019 00:46

I imagine Charles has been burning up the phone line from NZ where he is on tour.

sashh · 21/11/2019 03:42

I predict a 'minor heart attack' for PA in the near future with him being advised by his doctors to not put himself in stressful environments and therefore unable to be questioned by police.

betaboo · 21/11/2019 06:03

PA now will just head off to one of his dodgy friends private islands, yachts or mansion to 'recuperate', or to his 13million Ski chalet, with the equally dodgy funding question mark over it.

He will continue to compromise himself, his kids and his ex wife and accept handouts, 'hospitality' and 'work' from the Oligarchs, Middle Easten royals and billionaires.
