Kay Burley on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor: 'we should just accept he was a war hero'

During last night's episode of Newsnight investigating Andrew's Pizza Express story, Kay Burley interrupts one of his victims to say, 'We should just accept that he was a war hero, we should just throw that in.'

There is no detail in your OP as to what the issue is. I don't click on random links.

Blocked by my adblocker OP.

Can you give us a summary?

"We have had women come forward and tell us they were victims of Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell"

Burley - "We should remember he's a war hero"

It's the most bizarre interjection!

I recommend anyone googling for the video if they don’t want to click a link (it’s easy enough to do). The comment was jaw dropping and the reaction from the other women on the sofa was priceless.

I googled and watched - fuck me, what was the point of that???

Stupid woman

They always have to have one or two who will be contrary and say the opposite of what everyone would think. It's so fake. None of those women are sharing their personal opinions anyway. They get handed a side to take in a debate. Like a low level version of debate team at school.

And doubled down with a “he was” when she saw the reactions.

I think it’s too easy to call her stupid. What she did is way more insidious than that.

Ummm…what? Those women were abused by Epstein.

It wasn’t sarcasm was it?

Darragon · Today 12:11

Ragebait from the Metro. Sharing it here to get people who didn’t even watch it to complain is really not on. No I don’t think people should be cancelled for having an unpopular opinion.

I thought he didnt actually do anything 'in the war' as royalty are not allowed to. Harry fought tooth and nail to be allowed to do the bit he did. I don't think Andrew did

They are victims of Epstein, AMW and Maxwell. How more personal can that be??

The women on the telly? Were they? I thought they were daytime TV presenters?

What are you on about?!

What are YOU on about. It’s two survivors being interviewed by two presenters. Or one presenter and one absolute moron.

Sorry I thought it was presenters who were discussing it. Of course the survivors are telling the truth!

Thanks OP, I've sent a complaint.

I cannot stand Kay Burley. I will always remember that horrible clip of her telling volunteers searching for April Jones (including the poor child's godmother I think it was) that the police now believe she is dead or something along those lines, clearly trying to get a reaction by being so cruel. Disgusting woman.

LindorDoubleChoc · Today 13:01

Is she quite well? Why on earth would she say that? Is she just trying to draw attention to herself again?

The clip is all over social media. OP is doing nothing wrong sharing it here. Burley's interruption was bizarre and in v poor taste.

Thepeopleversuswork · Today 13:11

She’s loony tunes though. The spirit of the Daily Mail incarnate.

SooPanda · Today 13:14

It didn’t fit with the conversation. I feel like she blurted it out because of someone saying something in her earpiece.

emuloc · Today 13:17

This happens frequently on that low rent Jeremy vine show. I no longer watch it, job done.

It’s a bit like saying”BUT Jimmy Savile was a great tv personality “……..

Phillips was sitting on the sofa with MP Alex Davies-Jones, minister for victims, and presenter Victoria Derbyshire. She told viewers: “What I would love is for my survivor sisters here to get in touch with me on my website.” Davies-Jones agreed: “Likewise. Anyone can come forward – we already have had, as a result of us speaking out, survivors coming forward and claiming that they were also victims of Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell.

“So please, we would encourage anyone, if you’ve got any information, to come forward to us.”
Derbyshire verified: “And these are British?”, with Davies-Jones confirming that they are.

However, Burley chose that moment to chime in with: “And we should accept that he was a war hero. We should just throw that in. He was.”

She had previously said of Andrew in relation to an alleged incident involving “sex on the bathroom floor” with the late Virginia Giuffre: “Only four people know what happened in that house.
“One of them is dead, one of them is in prison, one of them sadly took her own life and by all accounts, the other one is lumbering around Sandringham banging doors. He needs to explain what happened.”

Andrew has vehemently denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
