MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
On tonight. Very interesting from a cultural perspective. How often does a child of a reigning monarch field questions on national (international?) television about his friendship with a convicted paedophile?
On the BBC so it's likely he'll be let off with any really difficult questions and won't be pressed for a proper response. After all the BBC would like to keep the royals onside so they can have their involvement for any future royal events. We've already seen the clips on the news today about how he 'kicks himself every day' about remaining friends with Epstein, like he had forgotten to cancel his dinner reservation or spilt some milk on a valuable rug. What I'd like to see is that clip of him waving goodbye to the girl at the door of Epstein's NY house
'Please talk us through what's happening there?'
'Did you have sex with her?' 'Why are you in a dressing gown?'
'Do you think it is appropriate for a member of the royal family to act in a such a manner?'
'Is that girl older or younger than your daughters?'
'Are you a digusting ****ing pig who is lieing right now?'
I don't see what is to be gained by agreeing to the interview, he's not up on any charges it's just his morals which are in question. He should just keep his head down.. anyway... where's jivebunny at?
Erm.. nope.
Next....
I don't know about any waving but that was quite the jacket he was wearing alongside a small girl shivering in a thin sweater.
Cut him some slack. The guy is an honerable royal we should all be looking up and aspiring to. I mean if you can't force yourself onto vulnerable young women and hang out with convicted paedos after reaching his position then what was the point of all that graft and hard work he put in to get there?
It's one of those dammed if you do dammed if you don't things. There's enormous pressure on him to talk about his relationship with Epstein, but whatever he says Royal haters will either not believe a word or condemn him for what they do believe. I'm not a Royalist or anti Royal really, they exist and thats ok, but Andrew is a man like any of us. Beyond the trappings of wealth and position, he'll have made mistakes just like I have. I'll give him some credit for talking about them.
Privileged entitled person does what the hell he wants and then wriggles out of any fallout with the help of the family's bum lickers, whitewash job!
Let it be noted that taxi25’s post is going to be the most reasonable on this whole thread.
Media reports are that interview was at his insistence and approved by Brenda.
Royal advisors were ignored.
From the very short clip used to publicise this his use of the term 'honourable' is truly reprehensible.
Maitlis has done soft soap interviews with Bill Gates and Trump; let's hope for this one she used the more forceful attitude she adopts on Newsnight.
Either way, he's an odious, entitled, arrogant, lying shit.
Can't imagine that anyone else in his family, other than mother, doesn't think this is disastrous.
I, for one, would love to see him crash and burn.
Does this prejudice any forthcoming court case?
Taxi has it for me. Doesn't matter who you are, very few of us have led completely blameless lives. Whatever he says won't appease anyone.
I'd sooner the media - and us - were concentrating on hitting our potential new governments with proper challenging questions in the run up to the election, rather than pestering this fool
I’ll give him some credit for talking about them.
yeah right likes he's going to admit to being a paedophile.
SaxonRider, I don't believe this justifies any attempt to be reasonable.
He consorted with a convicted paedophile; was photographed with his arm around Epstein's principal accuser (17 at the time); photo taken in house of Ghislaine Maxwell - also accused of sexual assault and grooming; Maxwell now disappeared along with a French pimp who was close to Epstein.
He wasn't spending time with Epstein after conviction to provide counselling or treatment - it was because he chose to and says about NYC it was 'convenient'.
Would be interested in knowing if you think anyone posting to this thread should try to be reasonable.
What's your view - and is it 'reasonable'?
Wait, is that Suicidal Jeff, the man who definitely, without any shadow of a doubt killed HIMSELF?

Sure. After all, who amongst us hasn't felt that hanging out with convicted abusers was the honourable thing to do?
After all, who amongst us hasn’t felt that hanging out with convicted abusers was the honourable thing to do?
The short preview explains this. Honourable in standing by a friend who's got himself into trouble, and served his sentence . Something he goes onto say he deeply regreted and was a mistake.
But anyway this thread will only go one way so crack on.
There's only one way it can go, his actions are indefensible.
Beyond the trappings of wealth and position, he’ll have made mistakes just like I have
I'm nearly the same age as him, and I've made lots of mistakes in my life, but none of them involve knocking about with a very young looking 17 year old whilst in my 40's!
very few of us have led completely blameless lives
I get the sentiment, but men (Like Andrew) hung out with Epstein because he would host parties filled with girls, many of them underaged, and most of them there so that older men (Like Andrew) could have sex with them.
Andrew is particularly naive he he thinks a telly interview is going to get him off the hook. He clearly knows much more than he's letting on, why isn't he talking to investigators, or helping other victims of Epstein?
Doesn’t matter who you are, very few of us have led completely blameless lives.
Might have got pissed a fair few times, got caught speeding once and ride my bike on footpaths. Not quite in the same league, though, is it?
Airmiles Andrew is making a very compelling case for the UK to become a republic.
knocking about with a very young looking 17 year old whilst in my 40’s!
Ah, the John Peel method...
Doesn’t matter who you are, very few of us have led completely blameless lives.
There's blameless and then there's sex with underage girls at an orgy organised by a Paedophile....
Couldn't be happening to a nicer bloke bigger dick.
Vive la révolution !

Wonder what Roman Polanski makes of it all.
Now then, now then...
A young man wrote a letter to me asking if I could fix it for him...
Rich/Influential/Royal people can do what they want is the moral of the story...
...because we let them...

Let it be noted that taxi25’s post is going to be the most reasonable on this whole thread.
Let me ask those who support that thought a simple question:
You're in your 40s, and your really rich mate consistently has a retinue of young and underage girls hanging around with him.
Don't you think that's a bit sus, and not where you should be?
Or do you think "Oh goodie" and go on trips to his private island to be "entertained" by his retinue?
Bearing in mind just about every royal male will have been well educated in the function of honey traps...
Surely most of us knew, even in our 20s, to keep away from children, even well developed ones..
This is an absolute car crash!
Whoever is advising him has obviously got confused and instead of using the obvious phrase ‘stop digging’ has handed him a much bigger shovel, possibly a JCB 😂
He seems quite thick. A police interview with him would be quite fun 😀
Wow. His mouth just keeps going and with every word it gets murkier.
He seems quite thick.
His apologists don't seem any too bright either.
He over eggs the denials a bit...fine example when he was going on about a medical condition which meant he didn't sweat
Not watching but watched the clip on beeb news site & thought that won't go well for him. 60 minutes Australia just did a 45 min bit a few days ago on Epstein with Virginia Guiffre & she seemed very genuine to me.
Randy Andy's not getting out of this one I think.
he was going on about a medical condition which meant he didn’t sweat
Lizards don't sweat.
Makes you think....
The guy is guilty AF simply by association.
Many of us mere mortals would be in the clanger if we'd had similar connections to the local nonce.
Binners - he was, apparently, advised by 'courtiers' it was a bad idea but he insisted and Brenda signed off on it.
Scotroutes - as for lizards.....where's David Icke when you want him? Have the paedo prince and Icke ever been seen together? Yep, makes you think.
Nonce.
Many of us mere mortals would be in the clanger if we’d had similar connections to the local nonce.
I doubt that without proof of an offence.
But still. Nonce.

On the first point....whaaaaaat?! Just look at the behaviour of who he was hanging around with. Regardless of what he personally got up to he was clearly with Epstein when young girls were about. If any of my mates had a house of teenage girls I'd give it a wide berth without a second thought.
I don't see the second point as a "one or the other". I think we have enough airtime to give politicians AND those who are unelected but still drawing a hefty wage at the public's expense.
I wonder if Yaxley-Lennon is rounding up a posse as we speak?
Definite nonce
I think that has to rank as the most ill-advised interview of all time
The while sweating thing.... Yeah, he's obviously not guilty.
He'll get away with it though.
Doubt he will be visiting the USA anytime soon though....
The whole thing was a stitch up
...all walking through buck palace at the start with classical music sweeping through the hall, like it was ****ing antiques roadshow.
..and 'ya basically that couldn't have been me right coz I don't sweat, no not a drop.'
He's been at it, but f all will come of it.
Dipping his wick where it shouldn't have been.
Inability to keep in dick in trousers, defending the indefensible, consorting with bloke who fancies young girls and convicted of under-age sex offences, cannot explain photo of him with accuser, I have no memory of......
What an arrogant, entitled prick.
Has done more to damage the monarchy than anyone in living memory.
Then we have his ex - the haggard harridan - saying he's legal, decent, honest truthful, honourable; delete (all) as you see fit.
She needs more of his money, is preparing to rinse him or is lining him up for a big night in - or, possibly, all. Would you? No, me neither.
Was going to say - what a fluster cluck but that's probably an accurate description of what happened.
Will be vilified in Sunday press - and rightly.
Now, back to the election for some light relief......Oops, sorry to Andy about light relief.

I've definitely been coming here for many many years, in fact since March 2001 when I didn't go to a nightclub...it's strange how one remembers a date when I seem to forget other types dates.
The American Hot is great and my personal favourite, it's yet to bring me out in a sweat, but that's probably because I have a peculiar condition although having so many over the years it has kick started my ability to sweat.

Taxi has it for me. Doesn’t matter who you are, very few of us have led completely blameless lives. Whatever he says won’t appease anyone.
Anyone who has been accused of raping underaged girls as he has with a lot of good supporting evidence, who has been lifelong friends with a peadophile and rapist as rather more serious questions to answer than those of us whos behaviour has been at worst some high jinks
The guy is an utter disgrace and should be in jail. Hopefully he will be at some point
Hopefully one of the final nails in the coffin of the monarchy. As for taxi’s “we have all be there.” No we haven’t.
'Nope couldn't have been me coz I don't even know where the bar in Tramp is...besides I never buy a drink, in fact I don't drink, nope haven't bought a drink since 1992'
Ah, the John Peel method…
Almost, if you knock a couple or more years off the age!
The Epstein thing is deep & dark. Does anyone on here think Epstein killed himself? Look into it! Clinton was bang at it.
couldn't have been me coz that picture was taken upstairs and I've never been upstairs in that house, if that's what the upstairs looks like, but I wouldn't know coz I've never been upstairs
He's an absolute bull shitter!
He makes the excuse that after meeting Epstein in 1999, he used the contact to learn about international business, as he was leaving the Royal Navy where he spent most of his time isolated at sea. Was he sailing under Nelson?
Besides, according to his own website, he was in shore positions from 1994.
I hope the whole thing comes crashing down around him.

Has anyone mentioned the rather contrived meeting between Hillary Clinton and Megan Markle earlier this week? Hillary, whose husband seems to have been thick as thieves with Epstein. Is it possible she met someone else at the same time? Someone about to give an interview?

As with most things like this, Twitter has some excellent stuff.
The top tending hashtag at the moment is #NonceUponaTime 😂
I have just seen bits of his interview. Very evasive is how I would describe his answers.
To quote Blackadder, "The whole thing smells fishier than the contents of Baldricks apple crumble".
“Not a bright man at all”. How a biographer has just referred to him on the news.
The bloodhounds of twitter seem to be on the scent of something - not sweat, obviously...
"I was at Pizza Express" is almost as convincing as "The money was just resting in my account".
“I was at Pizza Express” is almost as convincing as “The money was just resting in my account”.
The Pizza Express story must be true mustn't it? It might not be an alibi due to timings, but he must have been in Pizza Express at some point on that day because it was a kids party and you can bet the other parents would recall him being there or not so very easy to verify or debunk. Unless I'm missing something.
Crazy (or dumb) to do the interview and his media guy (Jason Stein) seems to have told him so and then resigned because it was so obviously a mental idea.

I think he must be the only PR person happier than the Pizza Express lot today.
Although that said he is probably dealing with a serious hangover after watching the show and celebrating dodging the mess.
This is an absolute car crash!
Probably 2nd biggest car crash in royal history!

Prince Phillip apologised for the Norfolk shunt.
Do you reckon there’s anyone who watched that last night who isn’t now convinced he’s a nonce?
Wonder how many were sitting watching thinking 'thank **** my names not been dragged into this yet."

I couldn't believe the arrogance of the man - he MUST have been advised not to do the interview, even more so after his first prep session when it became clear that he couldn't satisfactorily answer any of the questions. Watching him bumble through it was excruciating.
I can only imagine that he ignored all advice, didn't do any prep, and was/is just expecting us to be so intimidated by his blue blood that we just unquestioningly accept whatever explanation he chooses to give. What a ****.
Not sure I've seen this mentioned, but I'd like to know about his security detail. I'm assuming that they are sworn to secrecy under normal circumstances - but at the point that there have been some very serious allegations of criminality against their charge, I'm wondering where they stand legally.
Despite all the dubious alibis and excuses, his explanation for the picture of him with his arm round the 17 year old Virginia Giuffre is beyond belief. The lecherous and mysoginsitic Trump was also a good mate of Epstein and I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't had some involvement in this whole murky mess.
I assume Prince Andrew will be conveniently covered by diplomatic immunity so probably he will end up keeping out of the public view and hope everyone forgets it rather than being a guest of his Mum's prisons.
Lies, lies and yet more lies.
HTF can he remember so clearly where he was and what he was doing on a specific date 18 years ago?
Bollocks.
Claims he doesn't (or didn't) sweat.
Bollocks.
What a contemptible object.
The royal family is an institution in decline; he has single-handedly devalued it massively and accelerated it's decline.
That's the end of him in any 'official' capacity.
Time for any organisations of which he is patron or connected to in any other way to dump him.
What a liability.
Time for any organisations of which he is patron or connected to in any other way to dump him
I imagine that there will be a fair few press statements on Monday to this effect. Rightly so.
I think how much it impacts peoples view of the Royal family is entirely dependent on what they do next. Obviously they can't stop him being part of the family. But he should effectively be fired from his "job" of being a royal: banned from any kind of "official duties" patronage etc, if they are smart they should also stop his receipt of any kind of public money/allowance.
Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see him in court/prison, but am interested in how "the royal family ltd" respond.

They're probably spinning in circles and more worried about the elephant in the room. Wagons will be getting circled.
Jiimmy Savile and Prince Charles.
Even if Randy Andy turns out to be a manipulated naive idiot of honourable intentions, this whole affair is a prime example of what most of us warn our kids about re bad company - "If you fly with the crows, you get shot with the crows"
I wondered what has happened to his royal protection officers from back then? Would be a bit of a coincidence if they had all died in various accidents.............
OK this will sound paranoid/conspiracy theory, but I would SWEAR I recall seeing a picture of Randy Andy entering a party behind Virginia Roberts who was wearing a see-through black dress (hence why I remember it...) and him with a massive grin on his face.
Some cursory (and careful) googling yields nothing, but I'm certain it was part of an article, possibly in the Guardian.
So either I have a very specific and lecherous imagination, am very poor at Googling, or the Royals have the power to pull incriminating pictures off Google. Which is it?
Edit: Ok, that was a shortlived mystery, if you search for Prince Andrew Party images this is one of the very first. Obviously not Virginia Roberts in the picture.
