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 read it in a newspaper online Ab. Prob the Mail. I find it very believable.

The RF are not supposed to give opinions on sensitive issues.

Yes, Meghan has always spoken up for women's rights, education and empowering women and girls.

I suppose she is going to have to be rather careful what she says in public for the time being - but actually I hope she doesn't hold back on women's rights.

Sparklefizz Sun 24-Nov-19 12:10:34

Not sure anyone wants to hear what Meghan thinks. I wonder if she has asked whether Beatrice and Eugenie are ok?

Anniebach Sun 24-Nov-19 11:53:45

When did she make this public gonegirl ? Perhaps no one has asked her if she is ok

Gonegirl Sun 24-Nov-19 11:16:07

Apparently Megwotsit is disgusted with him. Well, she is all for protecting young women from sleazy men so I suppose she would be.

Anniebach, I totally agree with you. Don't always but here you have nailed it.

Anniebach Sun 24-Nov-19 09:55:57

It’s all so sordid, vile, evil, skin crawling

one couple was Woody Allen and his wife, she was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow one time partner of Allen.

I was not at all surprised about that, Annie !! Birds of a feather ....

I was told by someone the other day that the current POTUS claims to have distanced himself from Epstein years ago because he disliked the way that Epstein disrespected women.

Pot and kettle.

Iam64 I was told by someone the other day that the current POTUS claims to have distanced himself from Epstein years ago because he disliked the way that Epstein disrespected women.

For once I was completely lost for words.

Andrew was going to continue working with ‘Pitch@Palace’ in a private capacity, he has been stopped from working from his Buck House office. Barclays Bank have now withdrawn support from it.

The Queen has cancelled his 60 birthday party !

iam they can’t justify it.

The whole world knows that they are all guilty by association.

Ask yourself the question, whether befriending someone for network purposes, but then discovering that he pimps and procures people for sexual activity for other people whether you would consider continued association desirable? That is if indeed it happened that way. Personally I don’t think so, but benefit of doubt etc.

If you did then your moral compass is broken.

Anniebach Sun 24-Nov-19 08:55:10

Doubt he will appear in court, no attempt by the law in America to come here. He certainly will not go there.

Think this will rumble on but no one will face the law.

Iam64 Sun 24-Nov-19 08:44:10

yes I saw that Woody Allen had been there - no surprise there, that WA would be pals with a man like Jeffrey Epstein. A current and a former Potus have also been regular visitors. I suppose its possible that some people attended in the way PA says he did, for networking purposes. How they could justify that given the obvious exploitation of young women (and boys no doubt) is beyond me.

Anniebach Sun 24-Nov-19 08:41:50

The Daily Mail on line yesterday named the people who were
at that dinner party held after Epstein was released from prison, one couple was Woody Allen and his wife, she was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow one time partner of Allen.

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.

The O/P - Andrew and his tv interview

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

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

God knows.

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

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

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

Do carry on discussing Prince Andrew around me. smile

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

I made not have spelled that word right.

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.

Sad really ? Oh putleeze
