It was inevitable but in this I feel very sorry for his siblings and daughters.

At any rate, he’s a cunt, and cunts get heckled. Why would his mother’s funeral procession be a reason to feign respect for him? It is up to him to not upset his family and embarrass his children, who I’m pretty sure can handle the truth being yelled at them every once in a while, given the sycophantic shite they get served all the time.

Yep.

It’s always the time and place to shout abuse at a nonce.

So allegedly raping a 30 year old makes you are a paedophile?

@Seemslikeaniceday if you think that's what I said I can't help you.

@lemmein So help me out and set out your definition of a paedophile and the evidence PA meets that definition.

I am not defending in any way what PA did but he does not meet the definition of paedophile.

It's exactly what it looks like. And she didn't even flinch.

Deeply disturbing video. I don’t know how anyone can see it and not at the very least be concerned.

Fireleap · 12/09/2022 19:05

The time to shout at Prince Andrew is when he’s in earshot and the place is any place you see him. Stolen from Twitter but completely agree.

Sporty2022 · 12/09/2022 19:08

I don’t like Andrew but he isn’t a child abuser. That’s an insult to child abuse victims.

He also stuck out like a saw thumb , being the only one not wearing ceremonial dress.

Ladybyrd · 12/09/2022 19:08

Andrew may be a national embarrassment, but I think you've got to be an even bigger tosser to heckle a funeral.

Like I said, I'm not interested in arguing semantics with apologists (I also haven't called him a paedophile 🤷🏻‍♀️)

The age of consent is irrelevant when the victim has been trafficked, just as it is with rape!

Freedomfromguilt · 12/09/2022 19:09

I really hope that he doesn't mistake politeness and respect for the Queen as acceptance for his behaviour. Once the mourning is over he should slink quietly into his new role as Wrangler of the Royal Corgis and keep well away from the public and young girls. He is replusive.

Heckling even at a funeral is not worse then abusing sex trafficked women.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 12/09/2022 17:25

I think even odious sex offenders should be allowed to grieve their parents in peace.

He’s vile. But heckling him is worse.

Heckling is NOT worse than that he did

Well said Andrew Marr - just fuck this shit.

Yes they must have planned for this 'handover ' but clearly were ( rightly ) worried about the public accepting Charles .

They have really mismanaged this . They make the royals look nervous - a confident king doesn't need to use the police in this way
A confident royal family would welcome free speech
The UK is feeling dystopian these days

It’s not respect for him. I doubt there’s many with any respect for him. It’s respect for a woman that has died, the other family and the occasion.

ReluctantCourier · 12/09/2022 19:13

Being in the RF, if you buy into all that, is supposed to be a life of duty and service. The ideology is that they’re held to higher standards than us plebs. That they wouldn’t ever be in a position to be paying off anyone because they wouldn’t regularly attend sex parties, you know…

He is naive to expect to walk down the middle of a public highway in a public cortège unchallenged if he’s forfeited the privilege by shirking the duty.

Heckling isn’t ideal but we got past ideal what, twenty years ago when he added Epstein to his contacts list.

This. Some replies on this thread are shocking and explain why so many of them get away with it..

LadyEloise1 · 12/09/2022 19:13

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th 2019.
It got quite a bit of media attention.
The next day Prince Andrew accompanied the late Queen Elizabeth to Crathie Church, Balmoral.

An even bigger tosser than someone who evaded justice using his power and status? Ok then Hmm

You don't want to be heckled at a procession? Don't have sex with trafficked young girls - it's quite simple really. And if you must have sex with trafficked young girls, (because you're above the law, naturally) then don't attend public events. Stay in your castle....like you did to avoid being served with papers!

@DeLaLune2022 agreed! And on a parenting forum Confused

It's not North Korea

OlderParents · 12/09/2022 19:16

Sex offences are worse than hecking at a funeral. Yes even the Queen's funeral.

What I am giving serious side-eye to is that the heckler was arrested. On top of people holding placards silently getting arrested. I agree that it isn't the time or place for either protest, but I absolutely don't think people should be being arrested for heckling or for holding a placard. I think that is very worrying indeed.

Really? Heckling at a funeral makes you a bigger tosser than exploiting trafficked girls / women. Defending a known sex trafficker and then using every power to avoid answering questions or taking responsibility until your mummy pays them off?

ffs your judgement is way off

Tbf in North Korea they do at least pretend to hold elections for their leaders

The only reason I stated the age of consent and the age of his accuser was to illustrate it didn’t meet the definition of paedophillia.

Rape is rape no ifs no buts.

At no point have I commented on the allegations, legally that is what they are. I believe he should be prosecuted but there has to be sufficient evidence. This may include sexual assault, rape, coercion, trafficking etc. but would not include paedophillia.

I have only just watched it due to comments on here. I was expecting to watch it and think people were exaggerating because they hate him. But it’s actually really bad. Is it possible he’s worse than we all think? I don’t want to think about it.
