AMW arrested …

[fairmaidofutopia]

At last …. 😊

As is often said, Capone got convicted on tax evasion.

completely agree, surely they wouldn't arrest without a good amount of evidence already, imagine the fall out if they did!

The BBC has some interesting information about why they have arrested him and what that now gives the police access to.

It’s what this Country needs. Nothing will unite us all more than seeing the corrupt sweaty nonce charged, tried, convicted and sent to a Prison up North.
i propose a Bank Holiday and Street Parties when that happens.

There were reasons those records were sealed. I wonder who will pay for his legal advice. The King, his brother or some overseas friend? What would the late Queen have done (God bless her!!).

BBC also saying that discussions around it now need to be careful because of the possibility of a trial. I expect the media to be extremely circumspect in their reporting.

He will have had warning that they will be turning up. He was probably sat having a coffee with his legal team.

It's hardly likely that police would be using that battering ram thingy to knock down the front door.

He will not be treated the same as everyone else that's for sure.

Of course they're not a close family, do they seem like a close family to you?

Great post, totally agree.

I hope this is the entry charge as presumably there is irrefutable evidence, hopefully this will force access to lots of other evidence and questioning under caution which Andrew has managed to avoid for all the other accusations.

So good at “soft diplomacy” the RF. Positively vital in the running of the country.

I think the police must have had some evidence of wrongdoing before they arrested him and they are apparently searching property in Norfolk and Berkshire too. Good. I have absolutely no sympathy for this greedy, entitled man

The late Queen is responsible for a lot of this, no god bless her from me, and she paid hundreds of thousands for his legal teams in the US and UK when Guiffre was pursuing him.

😂😂

I think the Palace need to retire the 'soft diplomacy' phrase for now!

Nothing will come of it but at least let us enjoy the slight humiliation it will bring.

Long overdue. Lol, it's his birthday too. At least this means fewer tedious planted squirrel threads about how awful Meghan and Harry are.

This is great news.

Misconduct in a public office might actually be more likely to see him convicted than anything related to his hideous behaviour toward women.

With sex trafficking would be incredibly difficult to prove that he had any knowledge that the women were trafficked. And unless they can find proof of sex with anyone under 16 they’ll not get him on the minor aspect (as vile as someone his age having sex with 17 year olds is it’s not actually illegal).

Misconduct in a public office also carries some hefty sentences - it’s not a light charge if he faces charges of that.

I bet there are a fair number of people who thought their positions and/or titles made them untouchable sweating a bit today!

Scapegoat

I said this on the other thread......

Who is going to pay for his legal team now?
Presumably he does not qualify for legal aid? (Just kidding)

I propose that if he is convicted, part of his sentence should be that he's put in stocks and taken around the country so we all have ample opportunity to throw custard pies and rotten fruit at him. No less than the sweaty nonce deserves.

What child sex offences?

I dont follow them so dont really know about any hangers on, I suspect the in laws/cousins aristos have quite chequered criminal records, tax evasion, assaults, drug crimes, various crimes. It wouldnt surprise me

I dont dispute there is more likelihood of them disguising crimes and getting away with stuff but there is a strange mentality in some of the publice, perhaps you're one of them, that posh or rich people never get done for crimes, they do.

I remember reading something about how being on trial for one crime means you can't actively be charged with another? Or you cannot be trialled for the same crime twice? If the premises is "Epstein related activities" then they would argue he cannot be trialled again for things inside the Epstein files.

So if this progress to a certain point, would that mean he actually gets immunity from the really sordid crimes with photographic evidence?! This entire thing is sounding more like a pre-orchestrated PR stunt to give him the easiest way out. He's already living in isolation so a few months of house arrest makes no difference. They are definitely not going to give him a life sentence or put him jail.

That is a bloody good point about the Trade Envoy papers.

On Lent sacrifices, I feel ill-equipped to comment.

Can they question you in custody about something they havent arrested you for?

Exactly! More will come out but at least this is a start.
