Nice to see nobody is above the law, what an embarrassment!

And what a b'day surprise that must've been for him...

🤣

Hope he now names all the other redacted names from the files and his arrest is only the first. Andrew is a disgusting man but he’s not the only one, this mustn’t stop with Andrew.

About time - now can the rest follow

I have to admit I've had a Home Alone (sort of) earworm ever since hearing the news.

"Happy Birthday, you filthy animal!"

Didn't think this would happen but bloody glad it has.

🤭

I hope it brings down the whole international ring- not necessarily the royal family. But I don’t think it will

How embarrassing.

Good point. Only target and arrest British people? Why?

Let's wait and see. I suspect this is just to sate the general public. I'll eat my hat if anything actually comes of it.

Well, if it isn’t the consequences of his own actions…

This has brought me great joy today.

What delicious timing on his birthday.

We hope. I'm not sure. I've no time for this vile man, but sadly he's not the only one.

The arrest is symbolic even if nothing comes of it. Historically I imagine someone somewhere would have intervened to spare the Royal Family’s blushes but that’s no longer an option.

This has nothing to do with his sexual antics. This is his behaviour as a trade envoy.

Because Trumpists think it is a feature, not a bug.
Also Andrew has been arrested for sharing confidential material. Not sex crimes.

Yes. Good - I hope it's a successful prosecution.

Thanks, Charlotte. As I thought.

This has genuinely made my day. And in his birthday too! You couldn't make it up 😁

I hope you're wrong, but I get it. My own first reaction after 'Hurray!' was 'PLEASE don't cock this up'

That's how I've read the news.
Its about misconduct in office.

Is it to do with sending Epsrein copies of sensitive/private UK trade deals?

I wonder if he's sweating now?

It’s to do with misconduct in public office, so telling something he should not have done. Not the sex trafficking

I've always wanted to use this word.. I'm feeling a degree of schadenfreude!

I’ll take it. Like Al Capone being got on tax evasion, whatever takes people down is a start and also shames other nations who aren’t taking action.
