Andrew to the Tower?

#1 Post by Boac » Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:58 pm

His behaviour is nothing short of dreadful. The Palace is 'declining to comment' but should. This breach of trust is not acceptable for a member of the Royal Family. Having publicly stated that he would 'co-operate' and then not to answer a request to do so....

I'm now of the opinion we should further reduce the running costs of the R F and sling him onto the Harry and Meghan pile. No more 'title', no more 'honorary ranks' and fend fer yerself!

A threatened subpoena from the US will simply bounce off his teflon shoulders.

I am not ideologically opposed to the idea of a Royal Family, but have deep reservations about this particular Royal Family, other countries have Royal Families that combine glamour, modesty and discretion, but this shower of German imports behave like we are a 17th century fiefdom.

I agree with boac about PAs conduct, but it doesn't stop there, the next in line is a fruitcake making comments supporting the Grim Greta, saying that we should pay more tax and holding views contrary to Mr Trump, (observations about the abomination that is Poundbury recorded elsewhere), the reason that Her Majesty doesn't hand over the reigns is because she knows that he is a nut case.
The rest of the Royal Family are ingrained with this sense of entitlement.

I think that we should have a new Royal Family, this time chosen from a traditional English background, agricultural workers, sailors or fair ground workers perhaps, the current lot can go back to Germany and join Mrs Merkel.

Andrew is a dreadful character but rumoured to be his mother's favourite. He will escape official censure no doubt!

The only part of that that I fit is I'm English, but, I'm available to do my duty to my country if called upon. ;-)

If the US want him then perhaps they could reciprocate with the woman from the RAF Croughton incident.

Look up "A ....... Yankee at the Court of King Arthur" by Mark Twain (a genius IMHO and you'll see he suggests having a royal family of cats. Having been servant to a prince of cats, I agree.

I really don't have anything against the RF, but if we are going to have one- it's behaviour should be impeccable, and serve as an example.
If they insist on chav-like behaviour, that's fine too- but I don't want to be paying for it, if that's the case.

Either behave properly, or stop taking public money.

Andrews really making a fool of himself these days, and as we're paying for everything, he's making a fool of us all.

Maybe Randy Andy has watched this video and is heeding the sound advice therein;



Certainly if/when UK plod feels my collar it would appear to shift the responsibility for proof onto the prosecution's shoulders instead of possibly self-incriminating.............?

And this for the Brits..........;

Some great advice in your video, and link, Barking.

Don't talk to the Police.

I think the mistake that most people make in regards to the cops, is to think that decent people and the police are on the same side.

Wrong!

The police are on their own side.

If you get in a tangle with the Bizzies, don't try and talk your way out of it. Clam up and keep schtum!

I assume the Americans have FBI agents at their embassy in London, so why don't they ask if they can pop round to the Palace for a chat over a cup of tea and sarnies with the crusts cut-off. Saves Andy going Stateside and being put on trial by the US media whilst honouring his statement to assist the US authorities.

However, having made a horlicks of his (in)famous TV interview, I doubt that he would agree to that - too many facts to be revealed.

The German tribe should throw the **** overboard.

Mebbe we should all consider throwing the entire Hanoverian "firm" over the side too.

I agree with #4, we should elect a good 'un, Not necessarily a Brit. The Noggies elected their King Haakon democratically, despite the fact that he was a Dane. There's a rather good descending line from the Stuart/Jacobean vertical axis, but the current descendant is a bit Socialist for some tastes. Pity, as it would be lovely to unlock those bear gates to her property at Traquair.

This Andrew ****q really does resemble his natural father, whom I've met in an aviation context. The father was a thoroughly good sort of cove. His son is just an arsehole.

He is now, apparently, hurt and puzzled by all the fuss since he 'knew nothing' of the US claims of non-co-operation. So, we either have yet more 'fake news' out of the US or a very stupid Prince and his advisors. Problem is there is no way of knowing which/both.

Andrew is a bit of a dimwit on top of his arrogance and self-entitlement it seems. Every time he pipes up he just makes it worse for himself.

U P, is it remotely possible that wee Nicola Krankie might change her name by deed poll to Stuart, thereby facilitating the opening of the Traquair gates? Though I suspect copious quantities of penetrating oil will be needed for the hinges.
I sincerely hope any change of occupant will not affect the excellent strong ale brewed from eye of newt etc in their cellars?!
