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 ?

It's sad really for his family and for the victims.

Surely you’re not defending Prince Andrew anniebavh

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:34:24

Can you imagine on GN if every time a photo was referred to showing someone in a less than positive light, we had to say alleged? ?

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:32:57

What is alleged? I think I can say without fear that there is a photograph which shows PA with his hand on VRs bare midriff. I can carry on saying that until and unless it is proved to have been faked. ( and pigs might fly)

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 18:27:51

Until there is proof - allegedly is just what it is

Whitewavemark2 Sun 17-Nov-19 18:26:14

???glorious - allegedly

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:24:27

alleged bare

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:23:01

Urm Virginia Roberts - the alleged young woman in the alleged photograph in which the alleged PA has his alleged hand on her alleged are midriff.

Evening everyone

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday. Just a quick note to say that we do have to take a look at comments that are potentially libelous and take action if need be. This isn't necessarily saying there are any on this thread and we always encourage an open discussion and debate, but it's just a gentle reminder that the forum is public and we don't want any users to get in trouble smile

Just a few reads about JE show that he may have made his money from ponzi schemes ( a case in 2007), blackmail, fraud, money laundering, tax avoidance etc.- e.g.Lex Wexner (Victoria Secrets) says he misappropriated $46,000,000 of his money over 10 years ago.
Yet PA thought he had good contacts? It is not really known where JE got his money.

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 17:46:45

Behaving like what Whitewave ?

Whitewavemark2 Sun 17-Nov-19 17:40:21

You are shooting the messenger annie

I’m not aware of any man of my acquaintance behaving like that.

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 17:36:09

Rubbish Whitewave, are all men who visit prostitutes Tory, all pimps tories, all men who abuse their daughters tories.

Andrew is wealthy , no difference to those who visit prostitutes , wealthy does make men use women, it’s what men have always done and always will.

Difference between a man of wealth and others is the wealthy man doesn’t have to have sex in a brothel, park ,against a wall
or back seat of a car.

Who is ‘VR’? Sorry to be dim suziew

If you end up in the clink I’ll come to visit you with a nail file hidden inside a cake.

Happiyogi Sun 17-Nov-19 17:17:20

It's all thoroughly unpleasant stuff. The lack of condemnation of Epstein or sympathy for his victims is deafening and the justification that a lot was learned and useful contacts made is deeply distasteful.

I didn't watch the programme but have seen some of the clips on the news a couple of times. PA says "It didn't happen". If nothing happened, I think it would be more natural to say "That didn't happen". The use of "It" sounded like "It" was a thing which very much did happen.

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 17:16:24

He has never seemed the brightest coin in the mint . The interview must have been difficult, he should have taken the advice he was given , to shut up.

I doubt there will be a court case, the woman may try a private prosecution but she has to get him to America .

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 17:12:48

Just for interest I looked at my posts - nothing libellous. However, VR has been seriously libelled by some of the PA apologists. Funny no one has warned them off.

oldgimmer1 Sun 17-Nov-19 17:12:37

He's innocent til proven guilty and needs to testify under oath.

He's not going to do that, is he?

So we'll never know. Pointless getting our knickers in a twist.

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 17:07:56

Well let them if they think there’s a problem on here <shrug>

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 17:05:21

I was referring only to PA lemon.
