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 ?

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.

You are shooting the messenger annie

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

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

Behaving like what Whitewave ?

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.

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

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.

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

alleged bare

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

???glorious - allegedly

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

Until there is proof - allegedly is just what it is

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)

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? ?

BlueBelle Sun 17-Nov-19 18:36:44

Surely you’re not defending Prince Andrew anniebavh

Gonegirl Sun 17-Nov-19 18:39:09

OMG!!!!! Just seen Zoe's remark. shock

Gonegirl Sun 17-Nov-19 18:40:11

I haven't said very much. It's you lot. ?

Granniesunite Sun 17-Nov-19 18:41:12

Love your posts Suzie and white wave......so funny....

grapefruitpip Sun 17-Nov-19 18:41:24

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

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:47:51

granniesunite thank you .?

suziewoozie Sun 17-Nov-19 18:50:36

Tbf I think it’s really hard if you love the Q to accept that her favourite son does not allegedly choose his friends wisely

merlotgran Sun 17-Nov-19 18:51:06

Poor Beatrice. If I was her I'd nip off with my intended and get married somewhere a long way from Windsor.

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 19:10:06

Bluebell no, I am not defending him, I gave my opinions of him on the other thread yesterday and think the very same today.

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 20:02:46

Gabriella if he was indeed at that Pizza Express with his daughter, doubtless there would have been security people with them too.
I wonder if they would have 'selective amnesia' if questioned under oath?

Callistemon Sun 17-Nov-19 20:06:53

Anniebach if the girl, Virginia, did indeed own the photograph, why would she release it if she is living a quiet life with her husband and children in Australia and had to be tracked down to give evidence?

BlueBelle Sun 17-Nov-19 20:17:09

I didn’t realise there was another thread about Andrew anniebach

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:18:19

Callistemon why was she tracked down ? If she was living a quiet family life in Australia. Reports say many young girls were abused, how was it known who they were and were all tracked down ?

The photograph was taken in 2001 and became public in 2011

Anniebach Sun 17-Nov-19 20:21:49

Bluebell the thread ‘Our Gracious Queen ‘, we started to discuss Andrew a day or so ago.
