Andrew

It's also about the shabby reality of the British monarchy.

what a nasty thing to say. i hope that you do not have coins and notes and stamps with pictures of The Queen in your handbag.

Of course I think highly of the Queen, like most people, but the institution clearly has serious issues. Just look at the harm it's causing to the individuals in it, apart from any other consideration.

the Monarchy is highly resilient and the British people are deeply attached to it, not just to Her Majesty. The "issues" are all in the minds of swivel-eyed twitter™ loons and that.

I must have imagined it all then. Not.

it must be difficult for Americans who have such a stable and uncorrupt leadership to cope with our British system

I don't recall Brits being reluctant to comment on corruption and misfeasance in US political life.

This little misunderstanding will all be sorted out when Andrew provides the evidence that he cannot sweat

they are woking on it as we speak

That’s good - I heard they are also working on a quiz about Pizza Express so he can prove he knows his way around the menu

He'll have wanted all the toppings free.

Today Prince Andrew's lawyers reach a new moral high. They are arguing in a New York court that the prince need not respond to Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against him, alleging battery, rape and emotional trauma, on the basis of an coercive agreement between her and an infamous convicted paedophile.

You do realise that its less than a 10 minute walk from Pizza Express to Andrew’s lawyers.

I know that if it had been me, I would have wanted a Wall Street lawyer with a Harvard JD who specialises in collisions between supertankers.

Go left out of Pizza Express, up Woking High Street, through the Shopping Centre and Blackfords LLP are on Church Street East.

It used to be closer because Pizza Express is just beyond the end of Church Street West but Woking was knocked about a bit when the Martians landed.

I don’t know whether they chose his American lawyers or whether the Prince applied his own massive brain to the task. Anyway, for a New York trial where Andrew is denying liability, someone decided that the best lawyer would be a Hollywood attorney with a JD from the 81st best law school in America who specialises in defending celebrity sex offenders.

For once we are in agreement. Like virtually other British establishment, the monarchy is corrupt and no longer fit for purpose.

Basically they're just tax funded celebrities.

It's a lot more serious than that. Our Head of State is fully supporting her abuser son in litigation on that subject and he is also no doubt being defended by our security services, etc.
