Topic: Prince Andrew 'tell all' interview to air on Saturday

[touchingcloth]

Ohhhhh the Grand Old Duke of York
He paid ten thousand pounds
He got balls deep in the arse of the child
And he creamed her girlie mounds.

New page misuse of public money.

[idunnosomename]

"Did you have two ugly daughters so you wouldn't be tempted to have a go on them?"

oh ho-ho

[touchingcloth]

My prediction is that “no holds barred” will amount to “every single hold barred”.

[Urinal Cake]

You have to respect the public/press in the UK forcing Andrew to go this far compared to the US where fucks like Trevor Noah laugh it off and provide cover just to have access.

I hope there's a version of the King's Speech where there's a PR hack putting Andrew through the ringer in preparation for this interview, 'So wait I don't like having sex with young teenagers?'

Yes, forensic, laser focus on the wrongdoing of royals is what are press does best.

[Urinal Cake]

Meghan for being black, Fergie for being fat, Diana for going black- this is where the UK press excels. But still it is a bit better than the US holding powerful people to account.

[BlodwynPig]

What was the last big gottem? Savile was dead, glitter not much fanfare.

No-one.

Even OJ got away with it.

Name the biggest and most brutal fall from grace?

[Urinal Cake]

Without a trial it is Matt Lauer. With a trial it is Rolf Harris. But I'll admit this is more due to their own personality rather than overwhelming media/public/industry pressure. Still materially comfortable though.

Max Clifford (yessss)

“Let the side down”

The paedo side Andrew?

Fucking hell

[bgmnts]

Yeah pissed myself at how relaxed that is.

Let the side down is if you slightly underperformed in a group project.

[pigamus]

How can you "let the side down" by doing absolutely nothing wrong with someone you thought was all fine?

[Jasha]

One did not have sexual relations with that woman...one prefers kids

[idunnosomename]

I mean you could let him off he was some sad old man who was best buds with a pervert

But why be friends with him unless you want to fuck his sex slqves. You're Prince Andrew you can pick your fuckin friends

[Urinal Cake]

You let your PR team down, Andrew. Look at another spoiled Prince actually doing his job well https://youtu.be/EkYmEeKizgg

Famous American TV host making jokes in 1984 about 'Prince' Andrew's fondness for young girls:

[Alberon]

The BBC has teased the interview with two small snippets.

In the first Prince Andrew admits to being too honourable.

Addressing his decision to stay with Epstein following the American's first conviction, Prince Andrew said: "That's the bit that… as it were, I kick myself for on a daily basis because it was not something that was becoming of a member of the Royal Family and we try and uphold the highest standards and practices and I let the side down, simple as that."

Challenged on his decision to stay at the home of a convicted sex offender, the prince said: "It was a convenient place to stay.

"I mean I've gone through this in my mind so many times. At the end of the day, with a benefit of all the hindsight that one can have, it was definitely the wrong thing to do.

"But at the time I felt it was the honourable and right thing to do and I admit fully that my judgement was probably coloured by my tendency to be too honourable but that's just the way it is."

In the second his memory failed him. As the 'Analysis' bit says

But on the biggest question facing the prince - the allegation that he had sex with the 17-year-old Virginia Roberts, now Giuffre - the categorical denial that some might have expected or hoped for simply isn't there.

Instead the prince says he has "no recollection of ever meeting" Ms Giuffre. It's odd because for years the Palace has issued a straightforward denial that the prince had any relationship or sexual contact with her.

Now the prince says he simply can't remember.

It's the sort of thing you'd remember one way or the other, surely?

[PeasOnSticks]

But why be friends with him unless you want to fuck his sex slqves.

No, no. It is not that. This is why:

“I admit fully my judgment was probably coloured by my tendency to be too honourable but that’s just the way it is.”

The poor man just tends to be too honourable.

[BlodwynPig]

Paedo. I will beat the living shit out of him if i ever get the chance. Its the honourable thing to do.

[Chairman Yang]

But like... what does he even mean?

'Oh I couldn't possibly turn down this all-you-can-fuck child buffet, it would be impolite'?

[idunnosomename]

He surely could've found a reasonable travelodge or an airbnb to avoid staying at a convicted paedo's house again

[Phil_A]

Name the biggest and most brutal fall from grace?

Justin Lee Collins?

[jobotic]

I'd say my greatest weakness is that I'm a perfectionist. If anything I'm too perfect.

[pigamus]

Twitter's going to be fun tonight.

[Blue Jam]

My name is Prince (Andrew) and I am spunky
My name is Prince (Andrew) the one and only
I did not come to fuck around (with consenting adults)
'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town

[Blue Jam]

Name the biggest and most brutal fall from grace?

Biggest: Bill Cosby
Funniest: Milo Yiannopoulos

[icehaven]

What was the last big gottem? Savile was dead, glitter not much fanfare.

No-one.

Even OJ got away with it.

Name the biggest and most brutal fall from grace?

Weinstein?

[Zetetic]

Doesn't seem to have actually fallen that far.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Channel 4 ran a Dispatches report on this a few weeks ago.

https://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/on-demand/70553-001

Nothing will come of this, will it? Andrew won't be imprisoned, Trump won't be imprisoned, they'll just carry on with the rest of their heinous lives until dying of heart attacks on gold-plated toilets (ideally at the same time, handcuffed together).

[icehaven]

Doesn't seem to have actually fallen that far.

Spose it depends what happens in court, when/if it actually gets to that.
