AIBU to want to know what was in Prince Andrew's "distasteful joke" about breast cancer email?

[agonyauntie2020]

Just that really. Being reported that he forwarded a distasteful joke about breast cancer so unpleasant even the Daily Fail won't say what it was. AIBU to think sunlight is the best disinfectant and the more we know, the better we get at understanding what he's really like, and the more the palace will see how unacceptable it is, and he is.

OMG if this is true then he is a truly despicable human being. He is such an arrogant sod his comeuppance can't come soon enough. His poor mother must be so ashamed. No doubt the mad ex Sarah will defend to the end.

I also wondered... I suppose one could google distasteful breast cancer 'jokes' but I'm not sure I have the strength?

OR it's not that bad (?!? Tho it's not great anyway is it?!?) and they leave it blank to make it sound worse than it is? The media are experts at this

There can be NO jokes about breast cancer. It's non debatable.

Well, you can make as many breast cancer jokes as you like if you’ve hadbreast cancer. To be avoided otherwise.

But really, this is not a surprise. Prince Andrew appears not to be an empathetic person

There can be NO jokes about breast cancer
yes there can.

And I would be surprised if the joke was that 'distasteful'. Not publishing whatever it was makes the hard-of-thinking imagine it must have been dreadful, though. As a pp has said.

I think over the years most people have gradually gotten the measure of him. Sure it won’t be much surprise to many. It’s the Queen I feel sorry for.

.....and what idiot, particularly one in his position, writes down ANYTHING that could be construed In such a negative way? As said by a PP above , his comeuppance can’t come quick enough !

He’s still not as bad as Megan.

eugh. He is a horrible man.

@RevIMJolly uh, what? Different people, different situations, behaviours, reactions............... Why bring up Meghan?

He’s still not as bad as Megan.

Seriously?

The man is accused not only of making sick jokes about breast cancer, but of maintaining a friendship with a convicted paedophile and sleeping with an underage trafficked girl. He then gave a TV interview in which he showed absolutely no compassion for Epstein's victims and state that he did not regret the friendship because he had benefited from it.

What has Meghan done that's worse than this?

I'm assuming the Meghan comment was sarcasm. She'll always be vilified over him, regardless of what he does.

Andrew has always been her favourite - the queen has already been part of trying to turnaround his image with photographs riding and going to church. Baby boy can do no wrong.

I'm assuming the Meghan comment was sarcasm

Oh, I do hope so. I've seen so much vitriol directed against her that I've lost the ability to judge. Apologies if I missed the ironic tone!

Weevils Why would you be surprised if the joke was that "distasteful" ? This is the idiot that went to stay with a convicted paedophile to tell him they can't have any more contact anymore.

RevIMJolly " He's still not as bad as Meghan" what a crass and ridiculous statement. Meghan did fuck all wrong.

Did you see the interview he gave? This man is an arrogant arsehole. He deserves everything coming his way.

My mum was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer on Wednesday and ex mil is a Breast Cancer survivor. What if Andrews ex wife or his daughters were diagnosed with Breast Cancer?!!!

The Meghan comment read as sarcasm to me (and I agree with it).

"It appears to be a gross distortion of a BBC news report about the benefits of breastfeeding. It is too offensive to be repeated".

No jokes about cancer is ever funny.
though there's not much left for him to lose, he's lost his job, has no friends, caused so much embarrassment to his family.
& his reputation is in the gutter. Not sure what else can come his way

I don't want to know the content of the 'joke'.

This man is an ignorant, oafish, buffoon and I don't doubt that it was abhorrent and should never be repeated.

I’m sure it will be leaked soon.

so unpleasant even the Daily Fail won't say what it was

So they do have a limit then.

It’s the Queen I feel sorry for.

Don’t. She brought him up. She’s indulged him terribly. She’s a big part of why he’s such an odious little turd.

At a guess then it will be something about breastfeeding toddlers and beyond and breast cancer as there is a cumulative effect in years feeding and reduction of risk.

‘What if Andrews ex wife or his daughters were diagnosed with Breast Cancer?!!!’

Wonder what Koo Stark would have to say on this matter?

Well, now that Megxit is under way, Andrew is under scrutiny...again.
Clearly his reputation as a boorish oaf is long established based upon poor behaviours & contrary judgements made over many years & in many places.

He’s been given many opportunities to redeem himself & just not made the grade required. Surely time to manage him out of The Firm.
For some reason, he seems to retain the both the loyalty & air cover provided by HRH QE, SarahF & his daughters - maybe they think that he’s just a ‘very naughty boy’?

Do I really care, but I am disappointed that HRH QE seems to have ‘excused’ him his gaffes & offensive behaviours.

Come the day, somehow I cannot see HRH King Charles offering any succour to him, ShazzaF or their daughters (prolly nice girls but of limited value for money).
