As Ursus says, WTF are his handlers thinking? He is clearly shitting bricks and these statements seem to be expressions of panic mode, which simply make him appear guilty of the accusations against him, but there must be professionals with calmer heads around him who are not stepping up and doing their jobs.
He can't ask the press to cool it when he's escalating the conversation.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 25-08-2019, 08:23.

this interview is possibly even wilder than the one with the comedy russian MMA chauffeur. doesn't back down defending epstein, realizes halfway through how big a hole he is digging, continues to talk about crimes he was in direct proximity of.
Yeah, I’ve heard the name in regards to Epstein.
You’ve heard the name—he’s one of the greatest scientists of the age, and you heard his name, oh bravo, you’re very qualified. You’re so full of shit, it’s terrible. You should not be writing about this. You’re not qualified.
Oh boy. Why did I pick up the phone? Why wasn’t I out to dinner?
Do you think Dershowitz—
What have I done? You’re going to distort everything I said. I just know it.
You’re being very clear in what you’re saying, and it’s very easy to understand your point of view here.
I never knew what the hell he was doing. On the other hand, however, I was instrumental—I hung out with the scientists. He introduced me to a lot of scientists I otherwise would not have known.

Leafing through the Irish version of the Sunday times in the shop, it seems that a lot of this book about Mountbatten is concerned with the Kincora Boys home. You wouldn't have got that impression from initial coverage of it. This could get extremely messy. Similarly, you have to go a long way down through the reviews before you discover that another chunk is about his role in that coup that nearly happened in 1968, and how the queen had to convince him not to be part of it. .
That is not a story that reflects well on the royal family in a very different way.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 25-08-2019, 12:46.

Berba, I can only access the UK edition, but the framing of their article is quite strange, starting with a dozen paragraphs or so on Lady M, then a few of his female dalliances, before getting to Kincora.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Palace is more worried about this than they are about Andy.

Is there a way out of the Epstein mess? Prince Andrew hasn't put his fat finger on it

Another excellent piece by Hyde.

I suspect there will be an implied agreement from both parties to not mention it too much during the election.

It's not a very big story outside a bit of gossip or titillation in the UK.
Brexit, a general election and the new EPL season are higher priorities in the UK news cycles.
Under age Prostitution wouldn't even get Andrew into the pantheon of the top 20 worse British royals ever.
He might get into the top three of the last 100 years after Lord Lucan the murderer and King Edward the traitor.
