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 ?

Blimey some people would argue about well....er anything really.

You can accuse me of many things but pearl clutching will never be one of them! grin

Wow well just wow. Go on the murdered in NZ thread and see how surnames are used

grapefruitpip Sat 23-Nov-19 18:28:51

suzie, there are people on this forum who spend a lot of time here and have certain obsessions and a certain following . You will never succeed in changing their mind or the mind of their merry little gang.

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 18:37:26

The use of the word ‘mind’ is based on an assumption that i feel is not really warranted #notgivinguponchallengingmisogynyandneithershouldanyoneelse

I read somewhere that arguing on the internet with someone you don't know is like arguing with a parking meter - you can do it but nobody wins.

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 18:54:07

It's quite fun though Oldwoman.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 18:56:15

But unfair on posters who want to discuss the thread title

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:00:38

Tough

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:02:14

You can’t discuss PA in any meaningful way if you are a misogynist

Oldwoman70 Sat 23-Nov-19 19:05:48

However, Gonegirl and suziewoozie it is also totally pointless - although an effective way of closing down a thread -is that your intention?

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 19:09:16

Oh go on with you. You're all daft.

Don't take it so heavy.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 19:09:35

Perhaps a need to control ?

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:13:59

Well let’s look at it this way, I’m not letting rampant misogyny go unchallenged. If that closes down a thread I don’t care - better than the alternative. You do not call alleged victims by their surname.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 19:18:55

Yes, a need to control , sad really

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 19:22:47

Oldwoman, if you haven't said your piece after a week and 8 pages,I'd give up.

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:33:45

Sad really ? Oh putleeze

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 20:01:55

Actually, there's a fair bit of mysoginy on this thread. It does include old women you know sw.

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 20:02:23

I made not have spelled that word right.

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 20:03:01

Do carry on discussing Prince Andrew around me. smile

sodapop Sat 23-Nov-19 20:06:47

Are we talking about misogyny or misandry here, I'm confused.

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 20:11:18

God knows.

grapefruitpip Sat 23-Nov-19 20:12:29

Have some respect for God's sake for those young girls and the mess that has ensued.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 20:24:04

The O/P - Andrew and his tv interview

The DM on line today has an article that should stop speculation that VG came forward seeking money and only mentioned PA three years after she was tracked down in Australia by a reporter from the DM. The article states that the has been consistent in her comments about PA since they first tracked her down in Australia. Initially, she was reluctant to speak, saying she feared JE would kill her if she did. She had been living quietly not seeking publicity to that point.

The DM may not be my favourite news paper but its done soe good investigative journalism. The Stephen Lawrence case being a good illustration of this.
