Having just watched the interview with Emily Maitlis, I just cannot make my mind up about him , I find it strange that he could not recollect having that photo taken with the girl with his arm around him , I thought he was very cautious with his answers, What do you all think ?

eazybee. I agree , a photograph is not proof.

As these girls were underage why no prosecutions ?

eazybee Wed 20-Nov-19 09:21:10

Are we to assume that every man photographed with his arm round a woman's waist at a party slept with her?
That would include most of us, I would think.

Apparently, there is a great deal of further evidence/statements in a sealed package and a judge is deliberating on whether it should be opened or not.???

Anniebach Wed 20-Nov-19 08:51:54

Eloethan. As they have all this proof why private prosecutions ?

The law should step in and prosecute those named including
Andrew.

anniebach You keep saying that Andrew is being targeted and there has been nobody, other than the women making the allegations, who has come forward to give a witness statement, and no other high profile men reported to have been former friends of Epstein. I don't know if there are photos of these other people with their arms around the girl making the allegations - but there is one of Andrew.

I have seen reports where Bill Clinton and Donald Trump - and I believe Kevin Spacey - were mentioned as having been on Epstein's private jet or visiting his private island. Someone called David Rodgers - I think he may be a pilot - is reported to have given a statement in which he names several so-called VIPs.

The point is, we don't know whether Andrew has done something illegal or not but he claimed to be an "honourable" man, so surely it would be both "honourable" and wise, if he has committed no crime, to go to the US and provide the investigators with everything he knows about Epstein's contacts. The story is out there now and, unless he knows there is the possibility of further facts emerging that will contradict his claim of innocence, he might as well go to the US and show he is unafraid of being questioned.

Gone!here are racists on GN or at the very least posters whose posts are racist. The recent thread on Diane Abbot has some shocking examples,.Generalisations have also been made before about Muslims.

pinkquartz Tue 19-Nov-19 22:43:16

Yes they might have....smile

Bridgeit Tue 19-Nov-19 22:41:20

Perhaps they just beat you to it ?

pinkquartz Tue 19-Nov-19 22:35:38

Can someone please explain to me how to have apost deleted.
I requested a deletion but the GNHQ has put it WAS deleted rather than at my request.
I have seen other posts say that the Poster requested

pinkquartz Tue 19-Nov-19 22:31:37

I asked for my post to be deleted
I know it was not appropriate

I am not a racist....I had a very personal experience that has made me biased
but it was a comment on a cultural attitude, not a race and no M word was used by me.
And i know I should not generalize on here. So I asked for the comment ro be deleted
It was stupid of me.

Gonegirl Tue 19-Nov-19 22:08:56

I don't think anyone should be accusing anyone of being racist on here. Misogynist is bad enough, but racist? shock

Bridgeit Tue 19-Nov-19 21:50:36

whilst it is true that a person ( young girl in this case ) may be free to leave a situation , it is also true that for some the experiences that they have already encountered throughout their lives will have impacted on their world view of what is normal, acceptable, expected etc .
Decent men would not indulge in such activities,
PA clearly is not decent & neither does he appear to have many brain cells !

Callistemon Tue 19-Nov-19 21:50:03

Clever though!

suziewoozie Tue 19-Nov-19 21:47:36

Yes

Callistemon Tue 19-Nov-19 21:29:41

Was it that rude?

suziewoozie Tue 19-Nov-19 21:28:19

Call I’ll PM you

Callistemon Tue 19-Nov-19 21:21:51

That was 9 years ago!
Remind me?

suziewoozie Tue 19-Nov-19 20:02:38

..Call that wasn’t what Private Eue put on its cover in 2010 when news of the deal emerged

suziewoozie Tue 19-Nov-19 20:00:05

Dora you’ll find GN has its racists along with its misogynists ( sometimes combined in the same person

How about a rewrite
‘The men were from a culture (white, rich, powerful, well connected, often seen in the company of royalty snd presidents that treats women as things only to be used’

Callistemon Tue 19-Nov-19 19:51:21

Keeper I think JE paid off SF's debts when she was on her uppers.

grapefruitpip Tue 19-Nov-19 19:40:16

Dora, yes it is. I have long since given up challenging racism here.

Callistemon Tue 19-Nov-19 19:38:33

Yes

Keeper1 Tue 19-Nov-19 19:35:07

Does anyone find it odd how close SF and PA remains. Perhaps she knew where the bodies were buried?

DoraMarr Tue 19-Nov-19 19:16:09

“The men were from a culture that treats women as only things to be used.”
I have a relative who is a Muslim, and Muslim friends. I find that comment ignorant and racist.

Anniebach Tue 19-Nov-19 18:15:17
