    Virginia Guiffre Panorama interview to air on Monday. One would imagine this will open a whole new can of worms for Prince Andrew, given his weak and already, in some cases, disproved lies about why he never slept with her on the 3 alleged occasions versus her crisp and accurate memories of the self same events.

    Good on the BBC (for a change) in bringing this to light. Their Spotlight and Nolan programme series are also very good, and both greatly feared by Priests, Scientologiests, tax evaders and improper workplace/deal arrangers.

    The Duke considering another interview according to Vanity Fair

    Lol if true


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    I think she left before the new court case in new york was in progress,
    she knew she would be in trouble if she had to testify in court,
    being a pimp for epstein is probably a crime ,if the women were under 18 when he met them.
    Maybe she is in some small eastern european country wearing a wig,
    may be she got a face lift.
    she could have left the usa on a private plane ,she knows lots of rich people .

    I certainly hope so; I want this to become an annual comedy series.

    They can bring in some special guests too, such as Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey.

    Apologies if this has been asked previously. Prince Andrew presumably has police protection. Have they been asked for information? Even if what was going on around Epstein escaped Prince Andrew it's difficult to credit police officers going around with closed eyes and not reporting to higher ups.

    Prince Andrew is endowed with diplomatic immunity, regardless.

    It'll probably be the higher ups that kill it off

    He does not have to go to the america ,or appear in a us court as a witness
    unless he wants to .
    He is not an american citizen.
    As to appearing for another interview ,that would be a mistake.
    Unless he has a list of questions in advance, and can remove questions that
    he would not wish to answer before the interview is in progress .
    Theres an australian phrase,
    when you are in a hole stop digging .

    that just makes it worse.

    It looks like the BBC are playing a long game anyway

    "Part of an investigation"they're saying , there must be a lot of information not released yet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 248 ✭✭Berserker5


    Prince Andrew prob thick enough to do it again

    The royals in general will know better after all this

    Incidentally, Andrew is not under investigation (so far) for a criminal offence - that could only happen if evidence emerged he had knowingly been with an underage girl.

    The reason he is in big trouble generally speaking is for hanging out with a convicted sex offender and having girls supplied to him by the same individual (and not distancing himself from Epstein after he was jailed).

    Have I Got News For You did a great treatment of the interview on the show this week - some great one liners include:

    “He’s not really giving up public life- public life is giving him, up”


    “He could sponsor a pizza- The Thick and Crusty”

    “As someone said, the interview was a car crash, as though the Royal Family cared about.....”

    “What type of rally did Maxwell attend? Just a straightforward shooting rally”

    “Why did PA stay with Epstein? Because Gary Glitter was busy.”

    “Let me check my sweating diary to see what day I sweated”


    “Andrew has scrapped a visit to flood-hit villagers in Yorkshire. Shame. They were hoping to use him as a sandbag, given his unique ability to retain moisture “ :D

    If they can prove that he paid for sex with Virginia Roberts he could be in trouble. Whist the age of consent in the UK is 16, it is illegal to engage a prostitute under the age of 18. Both the client and the prostitute are guilty in such a circumstance.

    Unless I am mad I definitely can remember reading or watching a documentary where she stated that she received $ 15,000 when she slept with him in London. If this is true he could face prosecution if it lies within the statute of limitations. The only thing is that Virginia Roberts would be incriminating herself if she states she was paid for services. Would she do that?

    Now Charles and William have condemned Andrew. Polls show immense public support for Charles, after he showed ‘resolve.’ This may very well ruin Andrew’s reputation, and solidify Charles’ position as future King. Overall, net positive PR for the royal family. What is wrong with the English people? They seem oblivious to the ‘protect the brand’ strategy.

    The fight has begun in anticipation of the screening next week-She’s certainly coming out fighting. I wonder what new content will be revealed in her BBC interview on Monday next.

    Whatever happens, it's a sh1te-fest war of words at this stage between one PR company and another and one set of lawyers and another- don't expect to find the truth anywhere close by. We're now totally in the "trial-by-media" realm, regardless of what a d1ck Andrew is.

    I have to laugh at how the newspaper reports are changing- last week it was all about how Fergie and her daughter urged Andrew to do the interview- now they're saying both tried to dissuade him and they're leaving the blame solely on the doorstep of his chief of staff or whatever she's called- looks like they've employed their own PR firm to distance themselves.

    23rd November:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7718663/Princess-Beatrice-helped-set-father-Prince-Andrews-car-crash-BBC-interview.html


    Yesterday:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7724861/Princess-Beatrice-Sarah-Ferguson-tried-talk-Prince-Andrew-BBC-interview.html



    If there are victims here, they're going to be hard to spot amongst the mud-slinging that will go backwards and forwards in the coming weeks and months- none of this should be played out in the media before a proper trial, either criminal or civil, takes place, but obviously in America, they're not subject to the same sort of reporting limitations we have in Ireland, so essentially, anything goes.


    There's an ex Harvard Law professor suing Virginia for false allegations and defamation:

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/alan-dershowitz-says-epstein-accuser-virginia-roberts-giuffre-has-harmed-his-health-with-false-allegations



    “I await the opportunity to cross examine my false accuser and the lawyers who pressured her to falsely accuse me,” Dershowitz said in a statement. “I will prove that before she was pressured by her lawyers to name me, she told the FBI and her friends the names of the men with whom she claimed to have had sex, and she did not include me. To the contrary, she wrote that she had never even met me.”

    And now, he in turn is being sued by one of her lawyers- you couldn't make it up:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2019/11/08/alan-dershowitz-countersues-accuser-jeffrey-epstein-case-then-is-sued-by-david-boies/

    "So Boies fired back Friday with his own defamation suit against Dershowitz, saying, “In an effort to distract attention from his own misconduct, [Dershowitz] has engaged in a campaign to attack and vilify each of the lawyers who have represented his victims, one of which is [Boies],” the head of the Boies Schiller Flexner law firm".

    Who ordered Epstein to be bumped off?

    Andy's story is being ripped to shreds
