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 ?

I'm not a PA apologist, and dislike the Royal Family. I've got no time for any of them, including HM the Q.

The allegation that PA slept with a pimped, underage girl is simply that - an allegation.

Nothing will ever be proven and it's unlikely that he'll ever face a jury.

The photo could be fake, or genuine. Even if genuine, it proves nothing.

The "walk in the park" photo may be set up; it may not.

All it proves is that PA took a walk with a bloke who was a convicted paedophile.

Sleazy? Yes. Ill-advised? Yes.

I'm not sure what else he's guilty of, exactly?

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:12:16

No Urm he went over for more of the. same - see C4. Why else do you think he stayed 4 days?

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:13:13

old ??????????

Could be so sunseeker I don’t know when the photograph was released, who owned the photograph? Surely the girl ? There was no photographer , Epstein took the photograph with the girl’s camera so she would have owned the photograph and she must have released it ?

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:15:28

Even he admits to more than that old. For someone who is not a PA apologist, you’re doing a good impersonation.

GM who apparently was Chief Pimp is holed up on some luxury island somewhere.

Hopefully someone will be suspicious that Lord Lucan has a new carer grin

Breaking news: PA media adviser has resigned.

I think PA is in quicksand ...

boodymum67 Sun 17-Nov-19 12:23:07

I almost agreed with you until you said something about staying friends with someone who has done something wrong...it`s a bit more than that....his friend was a convicted sex criminal

timetogo2016 Sun 17-Nov-19 12:27:24

She`s after money .
IF PA did have sex with her why on earth has she taken all this time to tell the world ?.
If PA is adamant nothing happened between them I would take her to court for defamation of character .

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:29:32

timetogo good name. Are you PA’s new PR adviser?

oldgimmer1 Sun 17-Nov-19 12:34:53

Annibach yes, the girl owned the photo and released it.

When and for what purpose, who knows?

Granniesunite Sun 17-Nov-19 12:35:36

Media advisor quit two weeks ago?..Is that correct...

I feel sorry for all the victims of abuse.
Hidden abuse is so very hard to be believed ..by some...that makes it almost unbearable for the victims.

EllanVannin Sun 17-Nov-19 12:39:33

He's still the obnoxious arrogant individual ( brat ) that he always was even with this interrogating going on.
His only supporter----his ex-wife ! I wonder why ? Another with a sleazy record.

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:45:05

How about to prove she had met him? FFS

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 12:45:32

That was to old

pinkquartz Sun 17-Nov-19 12:50:27

oldgimmer1

he is not innocent and I wonder why you are trying to say he might not be guilty?
Also you keep banging on about the photo when it is so much more than that.
Time for the truth to come out.

Time also for the RF to be cut back PA is the most repugnant of them all.
He has a face of no character at all,no personality just...just bloating and arrogance. people used to say you get the face you deserve.
He is also very stupid and sounded at times as if he was simply repeating words he had been taught to say.

sunseeker Sun 17-Nov-19 12:52:32

It must be remembered these girls were groomed, made to think no-one would believe them. It was only after Epstein went to prison that they started to come forward, which is probably when the photo was released.

I find it hard to understand those who say they would have stayed friends with someone convicted of sex crimes. If someone came to me and told me they were attracted to children and under age girls but had never acted on it I would do everything I could to support and help them. However, if I knew someone who had been convicted of such crimes I would drop them like a hot potato

Breaking news: PA media adviser has resigned

shock Can't imagine why. hmm

oldgimmer1 Sun 17-Nov-19 12:54:35

PA can't remember the photo. It can't be proven to be genuine or fake. Even if it WAS genuine and therefore proves that PA and Roberts met, that's all it does.

Gonegirl Sun 17-Nov-19 12:56:39

Still doing the bitchy laughing emojis then susiewoozie. hmm

Urmstongran Sun 17-Nov-19 12:57:44

A series of seemingly mocking fake reviews have now been left for the restaurant on TripAdvisor and elsewhere, poking fun at PA for his performance during the interview.

One said: 'I have no recollection of ever visiting this restaurant or ever having heard of pizzas. Or Woking.
'If I did visit the place it must be because I am so honourable. But I stress, I never went here. Unless you have a photo of me being here, in which case I have.'
?

merlotgran Sun 17-Nov-19 13:19:01

I liked the tweet that said, Prince Andrew has single handedly saved Pizza Express. grin

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 13:33:30

Urm I read the Google reviews last night - I almost cried with laughter.

The funniest thing on MN about this was a post that said at the moment M and H could fly by private jet from Frogmore to Pizza Express at Woking and no one would notice

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 13:36:07

Why ‘ bitchy’ Gone and why do you think it’s fine to use misogynist language? Why don’t you try a thoughtful contribution to the thread instead?

annodomini Sun 17-Nov-19 13:37:28

Nothing in that interview could persuade me that his Highness was anything but up to his neck in the sleaze of Epstein's 'business'. What annoyed me most was his very skewed idea of 'honour' that make him maintain contact with his old chum who had done time for grooming under-age girls and supplying them to the visitors to his house and Ms Maxwell's sumptuous pad in Belgravia.
PA had clearly been trained for the interview to simply deny any knowledge or memory of events reported by Virginia. Roberts. Not once did his facial expression change to show any reaction to the persistent questioning. If I was being truly cynical, I might imagine that he had had his memories changed by a skilled hypnotist if such a person existed.
