Prince Andrew stepping back from royal duties.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50496539

Yes, but when are they going to extradite him?

[ad hoc]

Were raping girls eating in Pizza Express and selling arms to Saudi Arabia his "royal duties" or is he not giving them up?

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

I just saw Nicholas Witchell doing his weapons-grade royal arselicking on BBC news just now.

[Lang Spoon]

That man is pure ridiculous. dunno how he can still do the job after Charles dissed him on camera.

Interesting which names appear on the Epstein list which are considered newsworthy and which aren't

fromthe Uk Blair's Former fixer Peter Mandelson and Right wing Journalist turned BBC interviewer Andrew Neil have got very little attention, yet Prince Andrew has been destroyed.

Hi Nef, where is the list of these people?

[Satchmo Distel]

It's Epstein's address book from 2004-05. There is a pdf:

[Nefertiti2]

Hi TG Theres a link to the Full list from this article

other wise googling Epstein and Contacts book will give you most of the names.

That photo of Andrew is probably the main reason. The others can just claim a business connection, never met socially etc. If a photo of Mandeldon or Neil turns up with their arms round an underage girl they might have questions to answer too.

[Satchmo Distel]

Mandelson is gay, so his link seems different than access to girls.

[ooh aah]

He's also a greedy fuck, so I assume it's a money connection in his case.

BBC to air interview with Prince Andrew accuser

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...y_to_clipboard

This seems to have been delayed and I'm curious why it's only being shown now.

Between this and Theranos, Boies is not exactly looking good right now.

[Erskine Bridges]

Yes it seems doubtful if any video evidence will ever see the light of day.

Virginia Guiffre is a lot more credible witness than Andy.

[ursus arctos]

Boies has not looked good for some time, as indicated by the now near totemic incantation of his representation of Al Gore in 2000 as establishing his progressive bona fides. There's also his work for Harvey Weinstein, of course, and if the reports of a few ex-colleagues are any guide, his firm is rather less than a great place to practice law.

I do get your point of how connections help to cover up, but surely Prince Andrew is by nature of his position more newsworthy -- and more publicly accountable -- than a couple of political and media hacks.

[ad hoc]

More newsworthy, certainly. More publicly accountable? Hes a member of the royal family, almost by definition they are absolutely not publicly accountable

[G-Man]

Depends on how you apply that. Obviously they are not accountable in as far as there are enforcible sanctions. But there are other ways of holding royals to account -- such as the public anger that forced the queen to submit to quivering her upper lip a bit after the death of Diana. Andrew has been held to account already by organisations hat are cutting ties with him.

But my point doesn't so much reside with the mechanics than the principle of accountability. As somebody in a publicly supported institution, Andrew is answerable to the public in ways a political freelancer or a journalist aren't (though if Marr works for the BBC, an argument could be made that he also has a case to answr, if one exists).

Of course, the idea of any accountability by tax-funded individuals is giving way to brazen impunity where no scandal has consequences because... oh, cat meme!
