Reported.

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:06

What has goldblum lied about - I'm curious?

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:10

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

What has goldblum lied about

Zilch.

But that doesn’t get in the way of a good old derail.

My second favourite banana: reach for the stars!

Just FYI.... on BBC News now, the Prosecutor in the Epstein case has stated that Prince Andrew has provided 'zero co-operation' and appears uncontactable despite his assertions in his interview.
But hey... a woman writing on a banana is an awful thing... and PH's Art A leel was dodgy...

I am normally dead against 'whataboutism' but this is two brothers and family after all....

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:29

Why is the prosecutor mentioning Andrew in the Epstein case? As evidence that Andrew won't support Epstein is it? It's not Andrew on trial....?

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:30

Or is Andrew co-accused? Haven't been following this story at all.

PA is supposed to be co-operating. His (PA's) lawyers have been contacted by them and the FBI, they want to interview him.

There is an investigation ongoing.

rockingchaircandle · 27/01/2020 18:36

The whole idea of Meghan and Harry being disrespectful in laughable in comparison to Andrew.

It's been a gift to the palace though, releasing their anonymous Meghxit stories, smear Meghan distract from Andrew. The press lap it up, and it's easy to get it spread on social media (light hearted banter), much better story than Andrew.

(Nearly) everyone's a winner!

Why would he not be cooperating Rousette?

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:46

In Italy, women don't peel and eat a banana as it's perceived as sexual. That's a whole country. Apparently you're supposed to slice it and eat it that way. Never came across a Royal chomping down on a banana in fairness.

DeTwamps · 27/01/2020 18:50

My first introduction to the banana conundrum was when I was quite young in Italy. I just peeled the banana and started to eat it. My then boyfriend was like 'You CAN'T eat a banana like that!' In my innocence I asked Why? Apparently 'men will be looking at you thinking of blowjobs' PMSL. I swear, until that, a banana was merely a banana to me. Since then, I slice my bananas.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/01/2020 18:51

Why is the prosecutor mentioning Andrew in the Epstein case?

Presumably because they want to question him as to what he knows about Epstein's activities?

Remember Andrew declared that he'd be happy to co-operate with any suitable investigator - only now the FBI are suggesting he's blanking them

Roussette · 27/01/2020 18:54

Why would he not be cooperating Rousette?

I am laughing here. How the hell do I know! I am repeating what the numerous press agencies have said. In his Emily Maitlis interview Andrew said he was “willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations if required”

However, it is now reported today that he is not co-operating. If you were to ask for my take on it, I would imagine he hopes it will all just go away.

At a press conference in New York City’s Upper East Side, Berman told reporters that requests had so far gone unanswered.
(Berman is US NY District Attorney)

"You've not proven to be the most observant poster before though" Wow, is the personal attack really necessary?

MrsDoubtTried · 27/01/2020 18:56

Encyclo

Those are the main sources I've seen cited here Imaginary, which is why I've come to that conclusion.

You need to widen your perspective.

yolofish · 27/01/2020 18:59

Andrew is a very different kettle of fish. If you want to discuss him why not do it on another thread? Because the only way I can see it being relevant to M&H is because they wanted to distance themselves from him - which is fair enough, but they've never even mentioned him.

I was actually trying to be polite about the fact someone had previously lied about me. But I will try to ignore this if it happens again.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 27/01/2020 19:06

Polite? Give over

Butterymuffin · 27/01/2020 19:09

Presumably you have some evidence to back up that claim, rocking? You've had a number of posts deleted above, so MNHQ seem not to agree with at least some of your recent interpretations of events.
