A guy I worked with, good golfer too. We played a good number of times. I ate at his house, and met his wife and family. A year or so after he left the company there was a piece on the Beeb's news page. He was part of a paedophile ring and had been sentenced to xx years.

Am I guilty by association? Hell no! I didn't even have a clue that he was into that sort of stuff.

Prince Andrew? I'll make my judgement when the authorities have done a full investigation and the results published. Until then, not bothered in the slightest.

But the prince was still visiting his old friend after he was jailed for 18 months and released for soliciting a prostitute and of procuring an underage girl for prostitution?

I would have thought he would /should have cut all ties to distance himself from it all.

When i worked at the pit one if the lads was desperate for redundancy. He wanted a big pay off. Nowt unusual about that. He kept banging on the gaffers door. He was told not for a couple of months then dozens would be going. He never turned up for work one day. Week went by, month. Word then came out he was part of a peado ring that had been caught and all sent down. He never got redundancy. He was sacked and lost his pension. The lads/ his pals at work would kill him if they ever caught up with him. He was taking photos of pals kids in Jacuzzis etc. Everyone thought it was normal as he sent some photos to his pals. As Hobbit says. Do we really know people. That said i think the prince story has not even started.

Bit different in this case, Andrew has been socialising with Epstein AFTER he came out of jail for child prostitution. He must have known about that but chose to ignore it.

But the prince was still visiting his old friend after he was jailed for 18 months and released for soliciting a prostitute and of procuring an underage girl for prostitution?

Exactly. He knew what Epstein had been up to and still socialised with him.

Interesting that the press is now turning on PA. Front page of the Sun today saying he has slept with over a 1000 women. Also read that has been accused in a Barbados court of molesting a 14yo. The guy is a sleazeball.

You asked for my thoughts. You got them. When there's more than salacious speculation I'll decide then. And if Andrew is guilty of a crime I'll bang the drum with you. Andrew isn't exactly squeaky clean in many things but what law has he broken? Until then its almost lynch mob mentality.

He's put out a statement today. Until there's more beyond that that proves otherwise...

Mrs Shark used to work as a nanny for Ghislane Maxwell when her kids were really young. I told her to make up a story about her and phone the press.

Maybe he didn’t see anything untoward, it’s pretty difficult looking out of those soft leather eye slit masks 😜

Wasn’t he pals with someone involved in another similar scandal a few years ago? Or was that Epstein as well?

Just aired on the 10th Nov on Austrialian tv

From about 17:30 is interesting...Is she making it all up? Will he ever have testify do you think?

This could run for a while and doesn't look like going away just yet.

To paraphrase a bit as I can't recall the exact words......"I have this erm unusual medical condition where I don't sweat" then realising that his brow may have been glistening under the lights "erm well I didn't then ...."

Of course I believe him. Every word. After all, he is The Queen's son.

Think the Mrs Rooney & Mrs Vardey “scandal” got more attention in the press than this. 🤔

Many years ago, I was a member of a motorbike forum. We used to meet up for rideouts, Christmas do's that sort of thing.
The Missus and I became friendly with a couple who lived near Windsor.
The husband worked on the Windsor Estate. He told me something about Andrew that I found difficult to believe at the time, but recent events seem to bear out what he was saying.
