They knew were she was so they kept tabs on her rather than arrest her? I wonder why.

Tdaadfb100 · 04/07/2020 07:00

She will sing ... and I can’t wait to hear what she has to say. I’m sure there are a LOT of people very worried right now.

GingerTomito · 04/07/2020 07:03

I have never heard of squeaky bum expression before either and I think it's a poor choice given the seriousness.

GingerTomito · 04/07/2020 07:04

Anywho sge's on suicide watch apparently.

@GingerTomito - could you provide a list of approved phrases please?

Does it matter? I don't care a fig about the thread title ... I just think attention should be drawn to him as opposed to endless Harry & Meghan because he has behaved in the most abhorrent way and thinks he is not answerable to anyone because he is a member of the royal family.

Oh my goodness. This is weird isn't it...

The Times has a weekly spoof type piece by Hugo Rifkind My Week by *** whoever he has chosen , this week is Prince Andrew it’s very amusing

Katinski · 04/07/2020 14:45

Good God! Wasn't this forecast on here?

thisenglishlife · 04/07/2020 14:46

Most likely fake, but would be disturbing (but not surprising) if it turns out to be the true.

Katinski · 04/07/2020 14:49

(I'd meant to add some sort of 'sceptical-but-isn't- it handy' -type thingy, but couldn't find oneGrin )

I don’t think she will expose anyone. This dirty saga has gone on for decades, the people involved are incredibly powerful & wealthy. I’ve noticed Trump doesn’t say much on this or say Naomi Campbell who was a mate.
Anyway she will slip away like her slippery dad, they never did find his body ?

Charleyhorses · 04/07/2020 15:07

Her Father managed to fall off a boat seconds before being uncovered if I remember correctly.
If she doesn't follow in those particular footsteps she may well throw Andrew under the bus if it's in anyway helpful to her. Here's hoping.

They found his body (and it was later flown to Israel:
a Spanish fisherman spotted his naked body floating in the Atlantic Ocean - 15 miles from his boat.

However:
Three pathologists who performed post-mortem examinations failed to agree about the circumstances of his death. One concluded he died of a heart attack, another said he suffered a heart attack and drowned while a third dismissed the heart condition as a cause of death saying Maxwell had fallen into the sea and drowned.

Robert Maxwell was 68, in poor health, weighing 22 stone and with a weak heart and lungs. Shortly before dawn, he left his cabin and went to the rear of the boat. His door was bolted from the outside. He fell forward over a low rail and dangled over the water 10ft below. He clung on with his weaker left arm, tearing the muscles on that side of his body.
(The Independent)

Ahhhh but Robert Maxwell did manage to siphon off £1.2billion from pension funds of his workers before slipping off his boat, the Lady Ghislaine.
She thinks he was murdered and it wasn't suicide or an accident Hmm

Oh dear. Poor Andrew. Too scared to go on his golfing holiday to Spain.

My heart bleeds for him

Some quotes from a Sky News article:
Laura Goldman, a friend of Ghislaine, told The Telegraph the prince's "sense of entitlement" may have blinded him to the convicted paedophile financier's world.

She said: "Ghislaine's always told me that Andrew's kind of stupid and naive..."

Ms Goldman said Maxwell would "never sell out" the duke, and even claims the pair were once lovers.

"The only way she can walk is if she gives someone up, but that definitely won't be Andrew," Ms Goldman said. "She is so appreciative that when she first came to New York, the duke helped to launch her into high society. She always talks about what a true friend he is. She doesn't see any reason to speak about him to the authorities."

Two of Andrew's friends:

He has a list as long as your arm of dodgy 'friends'. Some despot from Kazakhstan bought his house for well over what it was worth, then demolished it.

He has lived a multi millionaire lifestyle and no one knows where he gets his money from.
(£8M refurbishing his property in Windsor and £13M on a swiss chalet)
"Randy Andy", formally the Duke of York, is never far from the headlines. His connections to a string of Middle Eastern despots and their offspring (many now dead or in exile following the Arab Spring), "shady financiers", accused money-launderers, convicted gun-runners, porn-star girlfriends, his profligate ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and billionaire convicted child-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, have proved fertile ground for the British press over the years"

And yet we spend all our time talking about Harry & Meghan like they're the devils incarnate. Weird isn't it...
